Dirty Duet is the third book in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott's Found in Oblivion series. Lauren, researching the groupie vibe for a college project, learns just what all the hubbub is about when she connects with West Reynolds, the keyboardist for Warning Shot. The story was a quick read, super sexy, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did notice a couple of places where there were partial sentences, or misspelled words, but it wasn’t enough for me to put the book down. Also, the latter part of the book, the inevitable “break up so we can make up” part, seemed to be just stuck into the story. With no background / deep character development on West, it kind of came out of left field (though not really a surprise, I mean, hello – hot rock star). Again, not enough to detract from the story but in your face enough to note. Overall, really liked the story, and love these characters, but this wasn’t my favorite of the three books in the series so far.

I am in serious love with West Reynolds, and I don't care who knows it... Okay, so, we all know that, if Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott write a book, I'm going to read it. These ladies and their hot rockers, man, I tell you what. Sizzling.Hot, every single time. DIRTY DUET, the ladies' latest release in their Found In Oblivion series, goes beyond everything that I expected to give me more, more, more. It only took me a hot second to fall in love with West. Keyboardist for the band Warning Sign, he's playful, talented, sexy as all get-out. But, more than that, his heart, y'all. Zapped by an immediate connection with the delightfully unfiltered and up-for-anything Lauren Bryant, West is all in before he knows it, and wouldn't have it any other way. Lauren has been sheltered by her protective and distant parents, and, now that she's fallen from grace, so to speak, she wants to experience everything. Originally on a quest to gather information for the project that will be the key to getting back into her parents' good graces, half an hour with West has her seeing him as much more than just data. Because he accepts Lo for exactly who she is, loving every zany thing about her that others have tried to change. She can be herself, and she just blossoms. I love all of the characters in the Found In Oblivion series, but West and Lo are my favorite yet (shhh, don't tell the others!). They just stole my heart, and I adore their story, and would LOVE to see much more of them in future (are you listening, Cari and Taryn?!). An absolute 5+-star read for me, I absolutely recommend this book, as well as all of Taryn's and Cari's books, for fans of the rockstar genre. And, while DIRTY DUET is part of a series, you don't have to have read the other books first (although, why wouldn't you?!). Grab this one and start reading. West and Lo will have your heart in no time.

Absolutely amazing Absolutely loved this book. West and Lauren both are trying to move on from their past. Lauren's no filter is absolutely refreshing and funny. West is great. I love this relationship and the fact that you see what is going in the band and everything is tied and you see other characters from other series. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot have again made you want more and you can't put this book down. Can't wait for the next book in this series.
