About this ebook

It was supposed to be simple: Film the tour. Build my portfolio. And for Heavens sake, keep it in my pants.

Then I met Felix Krasinski.

The captivating and infuriatingly cocky frontman of Velvet Drift commands attention everywhere he goes—including mine. Am I proud of it? No. I’m supposed to be filming their perfromance, not fantasizing about his perfect abs. I’m determined to be taken seriously, and hooking up with the ridiculously hot rockstar is the fastest way to tank my credibility.

Felix is always in control, and I am an impulsive rule-breaker. We don’t make sense. But we can’t seem to stay away from each other.

Because, between his uptight habits and annoyingly perfect jawline, there's more to Felix than his stage presence and legendary last name. He’s protective, vulnerable, and gets me in a way no one else does. 

But my career depends on keeping things professional, and his future hinges on staying laser-focused on his band's success. 

Every heated argument, every stolen kiss, makes me want to throw caution—and professionalism—to the wind.

One thing’s certain—this summer tour is about to get a lot more complicated than I bargained for.

For readers who love:

🎸 A protective guitarist who falls first—and hard

🎸 An aspiring filmmaker finding her voice behind the camera

🎸 Found family vibes on a summer tour bus

🎸 Late-night confessions, unspoken feelings, and slow-burn chemistry

🎸 And a heartfelt happily-ever-after that hits every emotional note before the final encore

Walk the Line is the first book in the Blood & Bone and Turn it Up second generation series crossover. Grab this new adult, angsty, forced proximity, steamy contemporary rockstar romance. Walk the Line can be read as a standalone.

Ratings and reviews

Maggie gets a chance to show her talent going on tour with Felix and the band. I loved the banter and chemistry between all the characters. I did not like how she would not communicate when Felix clearly was trying to be there for her. When he would try yo get her to just be honest and tell him what she was felling. It irked me she took the easy way out. I loved Dusty and Dex they were entertaining. Really all the guys had their moments. It was a nice entertaining rockstar read.

I love getting to see the next generation of book couples I loved. These two are both the children of rockstars who know what tour life is like but learn that they were not prepared for what it actually meant. Felix is all in from the beginning, focused only on Maggie. Maggie battles her own insecurities and fights her attraction. This creates that delicious tension that can't do anything but eventually explode! Add the excitement of a summer music festival tour and the antics of a new band getting to know each other for an engaging and entertaining, forget your responsibilities, sleep doesn't matter, story.

I have been hoping and waiting for this book since I was first introduced to Paula Dombrowiak and when I fell in love with Jack O’Donnell and all the boys. It was almost too much anticipation and I worried that this wouldn’t make the grade . . . well it surpassed it! It was only made even better because Maggie is connected to another rockstar series I love by Natalie Parker! I feel like I got my cake and am able to eat it too!!!
