Kiro's Emily is a fantastic short story about Harlow's parents Kiro and Emily. Parts of the story had been referenced in Take A Chance and One More Chance, but this is the whole story. How they met, what changed for Kiro, and how Emily reacted to the celebrity lifestyle Kiro enjoyed. 
 This short sets the stage for the parts of Kiro that are revealed during Harlow's books. This is the beginning of an epic love story that changes a hard-living rock star into a devoted and fiercely protective husband. 
 In a lot of ways, Emily reminded me of Harlow, understandable as they are mother/daughter. Emily is quiet, reserved, and when she is dragged on a road trip with her cousin to be a groupie for Slacker Demon, she is completely out of place in the seedy backstage parties. 
 Kiro's life completely changes when he meets Emily backstage. The change from womanizing rocker to a man chasing his angel was sudden and surprising (both for him and his bandmates). 
 This was a fun story -- not only as a glimpse of Kiro and Emily's relationship for devoted readers of the series, but it is also a great way for those new to the series to have an introduction to the older generation of characters.
