About this ebook

When your best friend falls in love with a rock star, you either join her in her fixation, or you spend a lot of nights eating ice cream and watching Netflix by yourself. If you can’t beat them, join them, isn’t that what they say? 

While Bree—my best friend since forever—couldn’t get enough of “Trouble” and their lead singer, Rob Burns, I set my sights a little lower – and to the left. Rob’s immediate left, that is, at least on stage. Tyler Cook was Trouble’s lead guitarist, a tall, glorious, dark blonde, beautiful specimen of a man who could make ovaries explode and panties drop with just one twist of that smirky smile of his. 

Of course, it was all just in good fun, two girls going to Trouble concerts and screaming ourselves hoarse along with the rest of the fans. Bree’s fascination with Rob, and mine with Tyler, was a fun little fantasy, a distraction from our boring everyday lives, mine as a dental hygienist and Bree’s as an elementary school music teacher, until one day the “what-if” game Bree liked to play—as in, “What if we met Trouble some day?” and “What if they asked us to go on tour with them?” —actually happened. 

Actually. Happened. 

One minute we were going to see Trouble in concert, and the next, we were backstage, face-to-face with the real-live, sexy thing. I never expected to meet rock god Tyler Cook. I never expected to end up on a tour bus with sex god Tyler Cook. I certainly never expected to fall in love with the man, that beautiful, broken, wild man, or become so hooked I simply couldn’t give him up—no matter what it cost, or who I hurt, even myself. 

Because sometimes you have to stop asking yourself, “What if?” 

Sometimes you have to find out what happens next. 

Ratings and reviews

A romantic yet very gritty love story. This is a three-book series so we are only being presented with the framework of the story in this first segment. The main male and female characters met by happenstance. They had an immediate connection that morphed very quickly into a relationship. One analogy that the main female character made about their relationship while on the road was that it was like "immersion dating". Ms. Kitt provided very insightful information about starting to take drugs through to addiction and on to rehab and starting the journey to reclaiming your life and healing. Very emotional reading. A difficult topic sensitively written about. Well done! I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.

This is an intense, steamy and enjoyable read that has stunning core of darkness running through it. With a well written a engaging story that starts out cute and fun (Fangirl Rock Star game of what if) to harsh and gritty (Living in the Rock Star world and drug abuse). So yes, there are some very deep and dark things in this book, so if you are looking for breezy and easy this book is not for you. If you want a complex read that will keep you on edge and put your emotions through the wringer then grab a copy because this book delivers.

They are doing good until the secrets come out and it takes a toll on them. They was her to go on tour but the record label won't let her name they think she is good It was a great ending to their story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
