Another Rock 'n' Romance by Deanna Adams Rock singer, Charlee Campbell, aka Echo, cannot wait to start her new life-as Dusty's wife and mother to their newborn son. Then the unthinkable happens. Baby Dylan is taken from the hospital in the middle of the night by a woman posing as a nurse. The kidnapping soon threatens the couple's once-solid marriage, as well as Charlee's musical career. As the years pass, Charlee begins to doubt that she will ever see her child again. Little does she know, her son, now named Ben, is as close, and elusive, as her next hit record. From the dawn of MTV and shoulder pads, through leg warmers and grunge, Scoundrels & Dreamers picks up where Peggy Sue Got Pregnant left off. Charlee's story brings back beloved characters while introducing new ones, whose affairs of the heart create the inspiration from which cherished songs are made.

There appears to be a time gap from when book 1 ends to the start of this book. Echo & the MissFits breaks up and Echo/Charlee goes on to have a successful solo career that she halts to play wife to Dusty and mother to Dylan, their first child.
I think the author does a good job at showing the stresses a marriage undergoes when something bad happens to the child. The marriage either grows stronger as the two parents work together and comfort each other or it grows apart because they each focus on their own pain and don't consider what the other person is going through. Some marriages still make it . . . as this one does, but some end up in divorce.

Though I would have wished Dylan weren't kidnapped, it was good to know that he was still alive. I am glad he had people in his life that cared for and about him--even if it wasn't the best life.
I'm not sure how realistic it is to have a kidnapped child returned to his family more than 13 years after the kidnapping. I suspect it doesn't happen often.
I was sad that Angela died, but it does highlight how much cancer treatments have changed over the years. Angela was such a strong supporting character in the first book of the series. Her presence would be missed in the lives of those she touched. ( )
