Blurb: The price of fame is high as Ian, the manager of a small night club in 1985 New York, is all but forgotten when the band—and the hot lead singer—that he discovered rises to stardom. Faced with continued exposure to the band through the media, it is up to Ian to put together the pieces of his broken heart and work toward his dream of owning the best club in the city.

Review: Another interesting read from the Written in Flesh series. Powder is about a club owner with a crush on an up and coming rock star. He falls for the singer, makes regular powder doughnut and coffee dates with him, helps promote his band in his night club, and after the friendship finally escalates to a romantic one, poof!, the rock start gets a record deal (because Ian brings in a producer to help them) and seems to forget all about Ian.
I’m not much for anyone who lets themselves become a doormat, but Ian pulls himself up by the bootstraps, opens a new club, and runs into trouble on opening night. Will Apollo make amends? Did he really forget such a wonderful, supportive man such as Ian?
You’ll just have to read and find out. I enjoyed some of the 80’s musical references, such as that young upstart Madonna touring the nightclub circuit in NYC. Ha! Blast from the past.
