Strong When the girl of your dreams is kind of a nightmare. As head of security to Stage Dive, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Sam Knowles has plenty of experience dealing with trouble. But spoilt brat Martha Nicholson just might be the worst thing he’s ever encountered. The beautiful troublemaker claims to have reformed, but Sam knows better than to think with what’s in his pants. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to make his heart fall into line.
Closer When a stalker gets too close to plus-size model Mae Cooper, it’s time to hire some muscle. Enter former military man turned executive protection officer Ziggy Thayer. Having spent years guarding billionaires, royalty, and rock n roll greats, he’s seen it all. From lavish parties through to every kind of excess. There’s no reason some Instagram stylist should throw him off his game. Even if she does have the most dangerous curves he’s ever seen…
Love Song There’s always the one that got away. Or kicked you out… The new darling of rock n’ roll, Adam Dillon, is ready to show his ex-girlfriend, Jill Schwartz, what a mistake she made kicking him to the curb. So maybe he wasn’t the best of boyfriends. Writing great songs and climbing to the top of the charts isn’t easy. Only problem is, he’s fast finding out that success isn’t everything.
The Rhythm Method It all started in Vegas… After a wild and tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Evelyn Thomas and her rock star husband David Ferris have been happily married for years. Nothing needs to change, their life together is perfect. Which means that change in the shape of an unexpected pregnancy is bound to shake things up some. But could it be for the better?
Just What I Needed When the Stage Dive crew decides to help, they do it in a big way. Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band’s latest album.
I love the Stage Dive series, so when this book came out, I couldn’t wait to dive in and get engrossed back into their world. It was awesome to see Sam get his own story and his happy ending. I won’t say the other couples, because come, I want you to find out for yourself. I don’t want to spoil anything. I will say this: the other stories are just as amazing. Being able to read about the band and their partners years later is awesome. Some of them don’t change at all and have you laughing out loud.
Amazing. If you are a fan of the Stage Dive books your in for a treat. A look into where their stories ended. All of our favorites in here , and a bunch of new people too. If you missed this universe of books you are in for a treat. Personally I'm just happy to read about Malcolm again . His character is still my favorite.

-The Rhythm Method (5 Stars) Go back to the beginning of the stage dive series with David and Evelyn.

-Closer (4 Stars) When Mae Cooper ends up with a not so friendly package at her doorstep she finds she is in need of help. Enter the sexy Ziggy Thayer, the new Bodyguard for this plus size beauty. Can they keep it professional or will their chemistry lead to more than just protecting her life? This is a sweet & short romantic suspense novella from the stage dive world. Love the cameos thrown in too from our favorite rock band. Told in Mae’s POV
-Love Song (4 Stars) Jill Schwartz broke up with rockstar Adam Dillion for being a bad boyfriend but when she receives something in the mail, she decides to confront him. How will that go? This is a sweet novella in the stage dive world about misunderstandings and second chances. Loved the cameos! Part of the 1,001 dark nights series.
It's so good diving back in the Stage Dive Universe . I remember reading Lick for the first time and meeting all the characters . Back then I thought that Mal was so hilarious with the strangest sense of humor . Those two short stories about Mal and Annie made me laugh out loud on all the shenanigans those two get themselves into . But them becoming parents that was so priceless . And Mal was his hilarious self through everything . And seeing all the Stage Dive members made my day .
If you’ve read the Stage Dive series then you know how any nugget of new writings is crave worthy. Maybe most people read these stories before. They’re out there…. But not in one place. BONUS is the unicorn cover of the OG, limited edition, first print, costs lots of money if you can even find one, win one etc etc etc of David Ferris graces the cover.
I love this book! It was so good to catch up with all the band and add a few new members to the family. David and Evelyn are close to my heart, and it was really good to hear from them again. Each story was short an sweet, but complete. This was great! Keep it going, Kylie. Thanks to Bookfunnel for the ARC. This is my voluntary and honest review.
