About this ebook

A hot new rock star romance from USA Today bestselling author Blair Babylon

Music is a bitch mistress.

Getting the job as a backup singer in the breakout rock band Killer Valentine is the chance of a lifetime for curvy, redheaded Rhiannon Macallen. She has spent every moment of the last five years preparing for her shot at the spotlight with a breakneck schedule of music lessons, band performances, and voice coaching that has consumed every second of her life and every penny from her poverty-level part-time job.

The contract she signs has an ironclad no-fraternization clause: no screwing around with the band members.

But Killer Valentine is falling apart. Drugs, groupies, and the rock-and-roll lifestyle are seducing the rockers despite the desperate efforts of the lead singer and the band manager, a green-eyed, gorgeous hunk named Jonas Rees.

Rhiannon tries to help Jonas hold the band together, but every time they retrieve one of the rockers from another drug-addled disaster, Jonas’s sultry looks and lingering touches make her yearn for what might have been.

Unless she’s willing to risk her only chance at stardom for love.

 

Ratings and reviews

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I did enjoy this story and the characters but found I was left wanting more. The adult content was very sparse and tame and I would have enjoyed the book more if the story was more engaging. I found I could but the book down but I did go back to it. I wasn't aware of other books in this series before I read the story, I will be reading them to follow the character's journeys.

I wrote this review back in September 2014 but never posted it here. I enjoyed reading this book; it’s the first book by Blair Babylon that I’ve read (I own others but just haven’t read them yet). I suspect that I may be a little older than her target audience for this book but that didn’t keep me from wanting to read it when I was offered an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I would caution you that if you don’t like references to drugs, and what is probably the seedier side of a rock star’s life, you may not want to read this. However, know that the main characters do not indulge and, in fact, try to prevent others from indulging so this didn’t bother me. The heroine is a down on her luck aspiring singer. Her trials and tribulations after joining a major band, and the interactions between the characters, were interesting to read. I’m not really sure why but this book didn’t invoke a lot of deep emotion for me as I read it (something I usually enjoy in a book) but, again, I still enjoyed reading it. While this book is part of the Rock Stars in Disguise series it is a complete story with an HEA. After reading it you may want to continue reading the other books but you won’t feel like you’ve been left hanging. I should also say that this is the first “rock star” type of romance that I’ve read. I suspect if you enjoy that genre you will like this book.

It was ok. I needed a bit more angst. I needed a bit more depth. It touched on a lot but didn't delve into it. I wish it was a tad longer. But it connects the other rock stars in disguise books really well.
