Forbidden Billionaire Rockstar: A Brother's Best Friend Enemies to Lovers Romance (Raising Havoc Bandmates Book 4) by Stephie Rose. Mallory Dominic, sister of Raising Havoc’s lead singer Brent Dominic, wants to turn her life in a new direction: from the good-time party girl to a respectable, hardworking PR representative for up-and-coming rock band Sweet Surrender, which will be on tour as band opening for Raising Havoc. After the band partied at a club before leaving on tour, Mallory and Jace Brooks, Brent’s best friend, had night of fun and passion. Unfortunately, neither Brent nor Mallory could forget their explosive night together. Mallory is afraid to commit while she concentrates on her new job. Jace suggests he help her release stress, be more relaxed, and do her job. He proves to be quite the distraction that causes Mallory to have mishaps that jeopardize her career. Brent warned Jace to stay away from Mallory since he has a one-and-done reputation. While Mallory and Jace spend secret time together, feelings for each other grow and become invested. Add in PR drama, sleeping through phone alarms, missed appointments; social media fails despite all the excellent band PR, and Mallory’s job is in jeopardy. Secrets come to light and unfold as a messy situation for both bands. Stephie Rose is a new rockstar author who never disappoints but has no cheating with a swoon-worthy HEA.
Mallory & Jace cannot deny the temptation of being attracted towards each other but her brother & Jace are best friends so they keep their distance. While on tour, there’s a shift in their feelings & they start playing with fire. Secret rendezvous could prove dangerous if they’re found out, especially if Mallory’s brother is one of them. When they are spending time alone, everything is perfect but once reality sets in, there’s the realization this growing attraction has to have an end date. Can they douse these feelings or will they throw their doubts in order to take the big step in facing her brother? I thoroughly enjoyed this storyline, especially with their indecision on what they should do. Plus, I like a good rock star theme showing how hard it really is to settle down & have the HEA he deserves once he realizes he can’t live without her.
I volunteered to read this ARC & leave an honest review.
Mallory is trying to get her life in order and starting a new job as a marketing rep for an up and coming rock group. Turns out the band will be fronting her brothers band Raising Havoc and its hot guitarist Jace Brooks. Mallory vows to keep things professional and resist temptation. Jace can't forget about their one night together months before and purposes they have a no strings attached secret affair. What could possibly go wrong? This book was enjoyable if a bit predictable. I got a bit bored with Mallory's insecurities and all the talk about her previous self and present self. Worth the read.

OMG this was an AWESOME story. It was steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. Jace and Mallory chemistry was sexual tension and the physical attraction was intrigue and sizzling of and forbidden romance. How would her brother feel about their relationship of romance. Romance to remember of passion and spicy sizzling . Their love affair was forbidden because he was a famous rockstar and his reputation was crazy and wild of fun. Was love overcome their romance so they can live a simple life with out the crazy. I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed.

Immediate Cop Out By The Author By Letting Him Dump Her, Get Her Fired And Then Not See How She Is
Ugh another neoliberal patriarchial cop out where his choices are not loving in the slightest, but are deliberately designed to let him feel like he surprised her.
But I'm not affluent performing at traumatised.
Who gives a fuck about flowers and words when he left you?
But thats the Unseen, Unloved and utterly Unfucked women for you, words are enough where actions are shitty.
She is a marketing expert, he is her brother’s best friend and completely off limits. The chemistry between them is off the charts. I adored this story. It was such a fun read. I still need to go back and read books one and two. I hope to do so soon.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Wow, just wow! Mallory and Jace keep tiptoeing around each other. Their attraction obvious. It takes a while, but they finally come to an agreement. Their relationship is like a roller coaster, ride with ups, downs, twist, and turns. If we could clone Jace, this world would be a better place. Can’t wait to see what happens next in the series
Two words: HOT and FORBIDDEN. Jace and Mallory are absolutely fantastic, well developed and stole my heart along the way. The secrets of omission will lead to keep reading to see if Jace and Mallory get their HEA. WOW this book in the series Raising Havoc Bandmates is a must read on so many levels.
This was a great rock romance dealing with a brother’s best friend. Mallory and Jace had one night together but it left lasting impressions on both of them. I loved their forbidden romance and what it took to get to their HEA.
This was Jace and Mallory’s story. He’s a billionaire rockstar with a dark allure, and Mallory is his best friend’s sister hiding secrets. Their forbidden affair could shatter everything they hold dear. It was an entertaining read. And am voluntarily leaving this review.
I enjoyed the book but it dragged a little with both of their feelings going back and forth. I would have liked her to stand against Heather. From day one she had it out for her. There was no mention what job she ended up doing.
Mallory and Jace needed each other although when they first met they did not recognise and realise the depth of their feelings. It took time but they were able to find their happily ever after.
I love reading Books by “ Stephen Rose”, Especially The Rockstar Steam & Hot ones! Rocking Romantic Ones! Love Them All! Book 4-Was One of her Best! Jace and Mallory- Were meant for each other.
