How to Date a Rockstar

by Kylie Scott

A seductively sinister romantic suspense from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott!

Over three decades ago, grunge rockstar Christopher Durand was shot down in the street by an obsessed fan, leaving behind an estranged wife and a child no one knew about—until a new biography reveals her identity. And all hell breaks loose.

Ruby Donnelly has lived a quiet, ordinary life with her adoptive parents. Suddenly finding out you're the progeny of a legendary rockstar who still has fans wearing his face on their shirts is a lot. And then there's the remaining members of her father's band. The reclusive and hot as sin guitarist, Andrew Brooks, in particular.

Tucked away behind the iron gates of his gothic fortress, Brooks hasn't faced the outside world in decades. Not since the night he watched his best friend die and nearly bled out beside him. He's grumpy, guarded, and far too certain he can keep Ruby safe from the media circus about to swallow her whole. The trouble is, the longer Ruby stays in his sprawling, secret-filled mansion, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them…and the more the official story of her father’s death starts to unravel.

Who killed Christopher Durand all those years ago? And will Ruby and Brooks be next?

Glad it was free on Audible.

Essentially having sex with her estranged father.

A younger woman wants to know about her dead father and meets with his old friend to learn about him. The man admits to thinking of her as a young child with a ponytail. They form an intimate relationship. She is only meeting this man and interacting with him in search of a paternal connection.

If you're into that... I guess this book could be for you.

This was a cute different story. I love that it was outside the box. We need more stories like this that stands out on its own. I do wish a few spots were more described and added to so it lengthened the book bc I felt like those spots were stopped way before they should have been. Almost as if the story was rushed. But it was such a good read and I would definitely recommend 🥰

[Tina]

I love how Kylie writes rockstar romance. The flirty banter, the fun side characters (Pen is my new favourite) and a decent payoff in the spice department.
There is less spice in this than in others, but it suits the story.
Ruby is fun and relatable, but Pen stole the show for sure.

[Darcy]

This one was interesting. From the history of the band, to the connection Ruby had to them, to all the secrets that came out by the end. You feel for them and how everyone was manipulated and more. So glad that those left behind can now live a bit freer.

[Amy]

The narrator did a good job. I enjoyed the story.

[Elle]

I thoroughly enjoyed this read! And I Arendt narrated this to perfection! I just wished the book was longer!! The ending just wound up too quickly for me.

[Ash]

The finale of this was wrapped super quickly…

[Simone Gingles]

2.5⭐ - this was free on Audible - so i gave it a go! Narrator was fabulous as always. Chemistry was lacking & felt rushed. Storyline had potential.

It's on audible for free with membership. I dunno. I liked the first one, and this one is ok. Not groundbreaking. But fine to have on whilst crafting.

[Danyelle]

Free on audible. I struggled to connect with the story and characters.

[Danyelle Cosson]

This book was so good, I finished it in under 6 hours. Although there is drama, trauma, pain, and suffering, this book was actually hilarious! I love this one.

Rockstar is definitely a reread for me when the ebook comes out. I am enjoying the story via audio. But I get more connected when able to read and listen at the same time. Kylie's stories are always fun and leave me feeling good. This is no different but I just wish I had the ebook to read long  It’s a great audio and I hope everyone gets to enjoy it.
