Blurb
New hire Shauna McIntyre joins The Charisma Group, a New York-based talent agency specializing in social media management. Even though she has never been much of a fangirl in her personal life, Shauna expects that her signature professional task is managing the online fandom of her famous clientele. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love with one of them.
R&B sensation King Smith has made a career of singing soulful tunes and strumming his guitar for his adoring fans. King also harbors a secret: he’s in recovery for sex addiction. When King lays eyes on Shauna, the crooner with a craving for no-strings lust decides to change his life in an effort to hold on to her.
Once King is tempted by the admiration of a persistent online fan, Shauna has a decision to make. When professional lines are blurred and relentless love takes hold, will Shauna sacrifice her rising career for an affair with a famous man with a seemingly insatiable thirst for his fandom?

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
King is a famous rocker who happens to be a sex addict. I definitely don't see too many authors exploring this all too real issue.
My first time reading this author, I really enjoy the writing style. The author does a terrific job developing the characters, allowing the reader to fully become invested in them. Both characters evolve as the story goes, and they are inspirational in the way they can be truthful and open with their feelings. The writing style pulls the reader in the characters minds and emotions.
Yes, we all know the stereotype that rockers sleep with a lot of people, but this one puts a new spin on this. The sex addition is written in a tell all way. The author doesn't shy away from King's problems at all, and the way this can prohibit one from being in a serious relationship. From the start, King is portrayed as having a serious problem and it is definitely shapes his life.
As for Shauna, she's portrayed in a relatable way. She feels the attraction but has to deal with his addiction. She is not nieve or stupid, making for an enjoyable story.
I enjoy the manner in which the story is told time wise. It starts in the present and quickly returns to when the characters met and the development of their relationship. Their story is full of steamy scenes, some tough angst, and a whole lot of chemistry.
The Follow is a worthy read, as Eliza David tackles this one with compassion and care. As a fan girl myself, this one hits me in all the right places. The social media aspect is scarily accurate.
