He's with the Band

HE’S WITH THE BAND by Julie Stone is a contemporary,adult, rock romance story line focusing on one-time groupie turned amateur photographer Campbell Cavett and the rock band Golden Tiger. Told from first person perspective (Campbell Cavett) HE’S WITH THE BAND follows one-time groupie turned amateur photographer Campbell Cavett, now forty two, as she finds herself the band-photographer for the reunion tour of Golden Tiger. Golden Tiger disbanded over twenty years earlier, just months after our heroine spent a glorious summer as a rock band groupie but Campbell Cavett, for all her wants and desires, never had the full groupie experience, thanks in part by the actions of the band’s manager Vince Caparelli, the man who controlled everyone in and out of Golden Tiger’s life. Fast forward more than twenty years, and the first night of the tour, Campbell comes face to face with the same tour manager, who hasn’t forgotten our story line heroine. Hired to take pictures, and write about the band, Campbell slowly discovers that all is not as it appears to be, including the manager’s connection to the band. As Campbell begins to dissect the individual members of the band, our heroine finds herself on the outside looking in, as secrets reveal the truth about what happened years before. HE’S WITH THE BAND is a back-stage pass, so to speak, about the lives of a band that imploded years before. Within months of Campbell’s journey with Golden Tiger, the band fell apart, following the release of a disastrous album but as Campbell begins to unravel the truth about the members of the band, a secret once kept is about to reveal the heart break and pain of unrequited love. HE’S WITH THE BAND is a journey of discovery for not only the band but for our story line heroine. Campbell Cavett’s marriage had imploded, and a mid-life crisis, of a sorts, finds Campbell trying to relive the summer that was but no longer is. The premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is subtle; the characters are interesting and engaging-the slow build up to the twist is revealed a little at a time.
