Secret Billionaires #1
My Secret Rockstar
I never meant to fall in love with a secret rock star and have his little baby. Ooopsie!
When my boss handed me the biggest marketing campaign of my career, I was ready to crush it.
Then came Marco Rossini—cocky, infuriating, and way too sexy for my sanity. The "manager" of the band I’m promoting knows how to push my buttons.
And even though we are always clashing on ideas, we have to work together.
The thing I can’t get him out of my head. And one steamy night in his penthouse changes everything.
I’m falling for him—this maddening man who challenges me and makes me laugh like no one else.
But Marco’s hiding a secret, and when I finally uncover the truth, my world shatters.
Turns out he’s the band’s rock star front man, filthy rich — and dating is strictly off-limits for him.
The cherry on top? Now I’m pregnant...

Liked it
I liked Jenna and Marco but I've noticed that in this series, the guy never wears a condom. It's not surprising then that there are unplanned pregnancies. I did like how Jenna is a strong, independent woman, even when she feels something for Marco. Marco doesn't know how to tell Jenna the truth about his real identity and is crushed when she walks away. I did like the ending of the book.

Such a quick and fun read. Misleading Jenna with a false identity could end up costing a Marco chance at the love. Only he doesn't realize that she could be the one until it's too late. Not only did Jenna risk losing her job by being with a client, but now she's pregnant and Marco isn't really who he says he is.
I thoroughly enjoyed the FMC. Jenna is full of spunk and doesn't shy away from anyone. Loved her personal relationships with her friends as well.

There Is No Excuse That He Didn't Tell Her That By His Own Desires And Choices, He Is A Social Ecosystem, That Wants Those Fans, And Wants Her In The Dark
Maybe the reaction to Liam Payne's death has really turned me against the women who chronically infantilise these men.
For me, it would have been romantic for her to find out MUCH EARLIER in the book and took an abortion pill.
But I get really turned on, when a woman chooses herself in a way that will force him to exercise his sympathetic nervous system, because he obviously needs it.
He wasn't ready to be open and honest with her until 67% of the book.
That's a super majority of the plot.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I read this book only to get to the conflict at 67% of the book?
Which as always, means her friends get involved and gaslight her into pretending love and trust are different.
No, no, no, no, no, what a terrible friend you are.
She needed space from someone so practised at charming others because he's really a vaccuous fuck.
"All these fans"
Stop telling us all about the fans you pretend to hate.
Rock stars never want space, they need to be narcissistically fed constantly.
There is no romance in this book, there is settling for a cunt who lied to you about something core and fundamental about himself, his social impact, and then he gets what he wants.
Forces herself into being with him because shes emotionallt stunted and her mate is an asshole, not once thinking of a pill.
Omg, abortion is so romantic.
Its means you are invested in a true relationship.
Babies are gestated, not conceived.
Ah well, he never has to do anything but calls and texts and thats kinda pathetic.
I do love this myth that Pathetic Patriarchial Pick Mes tell themselves, that men struggle to talk and be open.
No, honey, that's demonstrably women, but you get gaslit.
Ugh this is so 19th Century Victorian.

I liked the characters and their friends. The premise was good but occasionally I picked up on a continuity error. When they got back together it was mentioned they had touched like that hundreds of times. How could that be accurate since they only had sex a couple of times .....
For some reason I enjoy the idea that Rockstars are human and not jerks and fortunately that is a common theme in this series.
Not gonna win awards but enjoyed the banter and Jenna's friends enough to say if Rockstars are your thing grab this series and enjoy

She's a marketing babe who's constantly a snarky, sarcastic twat. He's a r&r frontman superstar pretending to be the band's manager. She's managing his band's new release but doesn't think to learn the band's members' names or really anything about them. WUT? This is quite simple writing, with beyond stupid scenarios, dopey. They are both such dumbfucks, so many clichés, skipping lots, lol horrible.

Stupid.
I got to page 38 and then I just couldn’t anymore. The main character is just a b@$*h. She is seriously miserable in like all of her relationships from drivers, boss, best friend and client. She storms off angry all the time over the stupidity stuff. If people make money of this stuff, I need to write a book.

Predictable.
This book fell at the end of the Billionaire Rockstars series, even though it came out first, and I found the plot and characters very predictable. The rockstar, Marco, hid his identity to win over the woman, Jenna, so that she would see him as a person, not a rockstar. Welcome to the plot of the other three books. I will say, this book held out longer for Jenna to find out Marco's secret than the others, but I feel that made the betrayal of what he was doing so much worse. And I get that it's a plot device, but how are all these women's birth control failing after sleeping with their rockstar? It has a much higher success rate than the books give it credit for.
Jenna and Marco get their happy ending in this standalone book in a series.
I will say, while I complained about the book being predictable and using the same tropes in multiple books, I couldn't put this book down. Jenna could have done more research earlier on working with the band and learned that Marco wasn't being completely honest with her, and that could have solved a lot of problems. I do wonder if Jenna went back to her job at the marketing firm or if she started working for the band exclusively so that way she could be with Marco more. I would have loved to have seen the rest of the band's reaction to Marco not only having a girlfriend but also a baby on the way, given how they were all told to stay single for the band's image.
