Plain Fame (#01 in The Plain Fame Series)

This book is the first in a series of books following a Cuban hip-hop star and a young Amish girl whose worlds literally collide. Although there is less objectionable content in this novel than the later ones, I do not recommend reading it because of the way the series progresses (the novels are not 'stand alone'). My concerns about the series can be summarised as follows: 1. The hero professes to have faith in God, but has built a career performing music that contains explicit and immoral lyrics (this becomes apparent from the second book on); 2. The hero repeatedly blasphemes in Spanish; 3. Despite her Amish upbringing, the heroine does not see anything inconsistent with faith in God and writing, performing, or singing such music; 4. The heroine gradually compromises more and more in order to fit into the hero's world; 5. The hero and heroine have a limited understanding of the Bible and experience no spiritual growth; 6. The romance is quite sensual and the hero promotes (and has lived) a promiscuous lifestyle; 7. The bulk of the series is spent trailing the hero and heroine while they meet each other, deal with the paparazzi, perform, pander to their fans, give interviews, and attend awards ceremonies and parties, and so on.
