Synopsis:
Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic rock star romance series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.
As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it's booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.
Lena's not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him.
Excerpt:
“Lena, you seen my old black Led Zep shirt?”
“Nope.”
“You sure?” His brows became one dark
cranky line. The scratches on his face were healing well, thank goodness.
Though it didn’t reduce my desire to throttle his mother on a daily basis.
“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”
Can’t find it anywhere…”
“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped
my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher,
Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”
“Sure you haven’t seen it?”
“For goodness sake, what do you think,
Jimmy? That I stole it to sleep in or something?” I laughed bitterly. Sure as
hell, the truth deserved a good mocking. I’d sunk so despicably low.
I hadn’t even meant to steal the stupid
thing, but the shirt had been mixed up with my laundry a few days ago. It’d
been the first top I laid my hand on after stepping out of the shower, ready to
go to bed. Without thought, I’d put it on and it’d been so soft, the scent of
him lingering beneath the laundry detergent. Every night since, I’d found
myself in it come bedtime. My shame knew no limits. And no, I still hadn’t
quit. The words still hadn’t come even close to leaving my mouth.
He frowned. “No.”
“That I have some deep secret longing to
feel close to you resulting in my stealing your shirt like some creepy perv?”
“Course I don’t fucking think that,” he
replied crankily, reaching up to grip the top of the doorframe. All of his
bulging muscles stretched the arms of his white T-shirt in the nicest way. It
was all I could do not to start drooling, my heart beat taking up residence
somewhere down between my thighs. And who could blame it? Not me. Maybe if I
got laid, this would go away and things would return to normal. It’d seemed
safer to avoid rubbing up against any men just in case I got carried away and
started dating again. This new situation, however, changed everything.
“Well, of course not! That would be
crazy.” And wasn’t that the god’s honest truth? Cray-zeee. Lock me up and throw
away the key because it wasn’t like I didn’t know better.
“Just can’t figure out where the hell it
could be.”
Angels couldn’t have smiled as innocently.
They might have tried, but they would have failed, the dirty-mouthed, winged,
little liars. “Jimmy, I don’t know where it is. But I’ll look around for it
later, okay?”
“Yeah,” he said, and then added as an
afterthought, “and stop looking at me weird.”
“I’m not!”

My Review:
OMG! Another great addition to Kylie Scott's Stage Dive series! Jimmy is trying to stay clean and the band hires Lena to help him. Jimmy is not the nicest of men but Lena won't put up with his attitude. I absolutely loved this book. It grabbed me from page one and refused to let me go until the end. Jimmy acts like a spoiled brat but he is a lot more than what his image has shown him to be. I was fascinated by him and his past. I totally understand why Lena had such a hard time keeping their relationship business. Lena was a fantastic character! She is smart and sassy, fun yet shy and she would do anything to keep Jimmy out of trouble. This book is beautifully well written and I recommend a box of tissues to dry your eyes as this book will is similar to an emotional roller coaster. I highly recommend it, though readers should read this series in order to fully understand and enjoy this fantastic tale. (I have read all of these books, they are all outstanding romantic reads, so you will not be disappointed at all!) If you like hot, sexy rockers who will love wholeheartedly, check out the Stage Dive Series! ~Booklover Sue
