I really LOVED books 2 and 3 in this series. I really liked books 1 and 4. I am glad I read the series.

‘Stage Dive’ is the four-book rock and roll (award-winning, bestselling!) romance series from Australian author Kylie Scott.
So, I inhaled these books over the course of one week recently – alternately kicking myself for waiting so long to read them, while being secretly glad that 4th book ‘Deep’ came out this year and I got to read the series in one shot. And now I’ve been faced with the hard task of writing a series review that’s not just unintelligible happy-reading-grunting sounds of sheer delight … this is my attempt at a cohesive review, though you should know that my face lighting up at the mere mention of the series is kinda all the recommendation you need …
First book ‘Lick’ is about Stage Dive lead guitarist and songwriter David Ferris, and the woman he marries in Vegas on a whim, Evelyn ‘Evie’ Thomas. ‘Play’ is all about hyper drummer Mal Ericson, and his unlikely love interest Anne Rollins. Lead singer Jimmy Ferris’s book is ‘Lead’, all about his relationship with sober companion-turned something more, Lena Morrissey. The series concludes with ‘Deep' and unlikely leading man, bassist Ben whose life and that of Anne’s sister Lizzy Rollins is turned completely upside down by each other and the consequences of their one night stand.
“Do you actually state what a pain in the ass I am in these songs?”
“Not those words exactly. No.” He chuckled, his good humour returned. “You don’t want me to lie and say everything’s always fucking unicorns and rainbows, do you?”
“Maybe. Yes. People are going to know these are about me. I have a reputation as a constant delight to protect.”
― Kylie Scott, Lick
I loved every single instalment in this series, which is about rock and roll band Stage Dive who have already hit it big and are maybe facing some inner band conflict, when these various women enter their lives … I really appreciated that while every book is a contained love story for each band member, there’s an over-arching theme of the band’s shifting dynamics which are in need of an overhaul.
David kicks off the series with his Vegas-wedding, and when Evie is thrown into his high-profile world she kind of stumbles into a hornets nest within the band too… David and lead singer Jimmy are brothers who have family secrets they’re trying to keep a lid on, and are also attempting to forget the woman who came between them and nearly fractured the band. Ben’s family are also tangled up in David and Jimmy’s uneasy relationship in the wake of a ruined romance, while tragedy striking Mal’s family impacts on the band in a huge way. It seems obvious that a series about a band should have them as a sort of lodestone throughout that series, but I’ve read my fair share of rock and roll romances and I can tell you that some authors struggle with hinging the entire series on the core group … Kylie Scott has no such struggle, and does this rather masterfully. So much so that by the fourth book ‘Deep’ they really did feel like a family I was quite sad to leave by the last page.
I also loved these books, of course, for the romances. I do have my favourites – David and Ben’s books ‘Lick’ and ‘Deep’ – but I adored every instalment. I really loved how challenging all the heroines were, and that while the pressure of the fame-game was explored throughout, Scott paid more service to deeper issues within everyone’s psyche, the women especially. And I found real enjoyment in mapping how each new member to the Stage Dive family shifted the dynamics ever so slightly, which was beautifully summarised in Ben’s book ‘Deep’ when he’s the ‘last man standing’ and both terrified/craving the stability and love all the other men have found.
With all the skill and speed of a seasoned male stripper, Mal turned on his heel. “And you, young lady! You are grounded until further notice.”
“I’m grounded?”
“Babe.” Anne winced. “That’s not going to fly.”
“And you are never to talk to Ben again. He is clearly a very bad influence on you.” The drummer continued, oblivious, sneering at his former friend. “Is that understood, Elizabeth?”
Lauren snickered.
“Yeah. Okay,” I said.
“Good.”
“Get out,” I said.
― Kylie Scott, Deep
Kylie Scott can also write the hell outta sexual tension and ― *ahem* ― climactic scenes. She’s just a thoroughly enjoyable author to go on this ride with, and I’m over-the-moon at the prospect of her new series (a character for which, appeared in ‘Deep’ called Vaughan). ‘Dive Bar’ is going to be her new series coming in 2016, and it sounds like it’s going to act as an intriguing mirror-series to ‘Stage Dive’, about musicians who haven’t made the big-time and are instead slinging drinks behind a bar. I can’t wait to get stuck in to that series, because I think the same way Scott brilliantly explored the pressure of fame and excess, she’ll do seriously intriguing justice to characters who are dealing with the fallout of “failure” and how they handle having to adjust their dreams (or not?). Either way – bring it on! Kylie Scott should be every romance reader’s automatic buy!

I just needed an easy-to-read series about a band to put me in the mood again. This is the kind of books you will find me reading when high fantasy has taken the best of me and my brain.
Read
April 20, 2016Kylie Scott's writing is my gateway drug to my irrational addiction to the Romance genre. This has become serious: I have favorite authors that I love and follow on a variety of social media, mercilessly exploiting my Kindle Unlimited subscription, and find myself cursing the characters out as they make mistakes and the whole 9 yards.
This is the series that started my downward spiral. Stage Dive, for me, is a great series. It incorporates real issues and doesn't over-romanticize them. The characters feel like walking, breathing humans, and I love that their flaws and issues are palpable. Ev and Davie were a great way to start the series, but my ultimate favorite would have to be Lena and Jimmy. Mal and Ann's was heartbreaking and beautiful, but the heavy issues that Jimmy and Lena dealt with (addiction, betrayal, dealing with addicted parents) really hit home. The genuine love between the boys and their ladies is so dope!
I was ruined by the fun writing of Kylie's books. So much so, that I have literally read EVERYTHING she has published. As a rabid reader (and listener to the audio versions), I can honestly say that as a full grown woman, I am such a Stan!
And I cannot wait for what's next!

I blazed through the first three of these books-- wondering half the time what was so good about them. I could see the flaws as I read, but I keep going anyway. That's a kick ass writer! The first one was the best, I think, because the situation was so fresh and funny at first (even if it was a Vegas marriage plot!). By the end of the third book I kind of got it already -- the insecure "average"heroines who win the super hunky rockstars in the end. I would have liked a little more variety and by book 4 I wasn't interested in another version of the same story for Lizzy and Ben. So maybe don't read them back to back like I did....But that said, the books are charming, with a breezy loose feel that makes them fun and easy to read. So kudos to Kylie! That takes a lot of skill.

This was an epic series I loved everything about it if you like books based on Bands/Rock stars you re going to love this series you so need to go and click the buy it now button ... :)

Hence the reason I became a Kylie fan. What's not to love? Funny banter, hot guys and enjoyable stories. It's nice to enjoy a little bad boy stories now and then.

LICK:
I'm thinking Cameron has a jealous side, “did he now?” Cameron growled, fighting the desire to rise and go fetch Sorcha himself." Cameron can be really sweet at times, “it better be only me,” he growled and kissed her soundly on her pretty mouth. “I have nae ever been jealous over a lass, but with ye, it is different. Ye are mine. I’d kill any man who dared to touch ye.” I liked this book, I fell in love woth Cameron, and Sorcha was so lovable.
PLAY:
Sweet Jesus Mal I've missed your a**, "yeeah, your name," he drawled. "The point of me telling you my name, even when you already knew it, was so you'd give me yours. That's how these things go." I mean a drunk Mal is just something else, "liar," he taunted in a soft voice. "You're totally thinking of me with no pants on." And the text messages he sends to Ann sweet lord I have to give the girl props for putting up with that, "when are you on the rag? David said to find out if you want cupcakes or ice cream." He's fiercely protective, "you woke her, a**wipe." For once, Mal didn't sound the least bit light and easy as he gave Reece hell. "Do you have any idea how stressful sh**'s been for her lately? Plus she had to work late last night." I have to say I enjoyed Mal's book more than David's probably because of all the playfulness that is Mal, "nonsense. We just effed so hard we broke your bed. They wish they were us. The natural order of sexual status has been restored." We both laughed. It was all so ridiculous." I mean he sometimes does have to straighten things out with Ann, "you want a song? No problem. I'll ask Davie to write you one later." He put a hand to either side of the bathroom doorway. "I know you wanted to go for it last night. But I wanted you sober. Now you are. I want you. You want me. Let's eff." And when Mal is disoriented it is damn hilarious, "why'd you put my hand down your panties while I was asleep? What's that about?" he mumbled. "Christ woman. You're out of control. I feel violated." Can't wait to see whose next in this series.
LEAD:
To say that Jimmy doesn't do feelings well is an understatement, "he sat on the edge of my bed. His broad shoulders seemed to have fallen by half a foot at least. "You have, you've been effing crying. I don't believe you." Lena she has some balls, and well the way Jimmy is I applaud her for sticking it out and going to those extreme measures now and then, "get some ice," Jimmy directed, kneeling beside me. "Lena, what the hell did you think you were doing? You're not strong enough to kick in doors, for eff's sake." It's funny before the sex, it already felt like these two were a damn married couple but then add the sex and all hell breaks loose, "eff's sake. Can we not argue when we're having sex? Please?" I was so proud with how Jimmy turned out (I know it feels like I'm talking about a kid who graduated high school) but honestly Jimmy was I don't really know how to describe Jimmy he needed work and Lena put that work in and results started to come, slowly, but they started to come, "thick steely arms froze into position around me. "Jimmy, are you actually hugging me?" A grunt. "Okay, you're doing very well." I set my chin on his chest and looked up at him. "I'm proud of you." I'm excited for Ben's story his should be a doozie.
DEEP:
The boys are back! And Mal he's still an over-the-top type of man, "exactly. Aren't I just the best? Ohmigod I'm effing amazing! My own mind is just blown by me. Put it there, little sis." He held up his hand for a high five." Ben he's a little over protective, "and what the eff were you doing with that guy?" he growled." Ben is more caveman then the rest of the guys, "Ben just grunted. So I smacked him on the a**. "You're being absolutely ridiculous. Put me down." Ben there's no boundaries with him everything is on the table, "anyway," he said, still frowning. Male egos. So touchy. "Soon as I'm around you again, my d*** decides to come out of hibernation. Thank eff. Was worried I'd have to wait till you'd had the baby to get it back." Like seriously Ben is an animal, "his gaze on mine, he held my underwear up to his nose. "Oh my god, do not sniff my panties, Ben!" A slow grin spread across his face." He has strict rules for his woman, "no touching yourself," he ordered in a low, gruff voice. "Getting you off is my job now. You need me, call. Get to you as soon as I can, okay?" I loved this book, sad to see this series end but I can't wait to see what Kylie has in store for us.

Stage Dive The Complete Collection de Kyle Scott
Argumento:
Lick
La mañana después de celebrar su cumpleaños en Las Vegas, Evelyn se despierta en el piso de un baño al lado de una de las estrellas de rock más sexys del planeta, luciendo un diamante en su dedo lo suficientemente grande como para asustar a King Kong... ahora si pudiera recordar cómo sucedió.
Play
Anne nunca esperó conocer al dios del
rock que adornaba las paredes de su habitación de adolescente, ni que le pagaran por fingir ser la novia de este baterista salvaje y el alma de la fiesta. Pero esta solución temporal no puede terminar bien, sin importar lo atractivo que sea... ¿o sí?
Lead
Como cantante principal de Stage Dive, Jimmy está acostumbrado a conseguir lo que quiere, cuando lo quiere, hasta que conoce a Lena, una nueva asistente contratada para mantenerlo alejado de los problemas. Pero cuando Jimmy se da cuenta de que Lena es lo mejor que le ha pasado en la vida, ¿podrá convencerla de arriesgarlo todo y dejar que su corazón tome las riendas?
Deep
Ben es el dios del rock soltero y Lizzy es la hermana pequeña de su mejor amiga, la que está fuera de los límites. Pero después de un error en Las Vegas, las vidas de Lizzy y Ben cambian por completo debido a dos pequeñas líneas positivas en una prueba de embarazo. ¿Podrá esta aventura de una noche conducir a una verdadera conexión del corazón?
Mi humilde opinión:
Esta es una serie de cuatro libros de los que me enamoré hace mucho y vuelvo a ellos con mis relecturas, ya perdí la cuenta de cuantas veces los volví a leer. Es como volver a un lugar feliz con el mundo de Stage Dive donde me divierto, emociono y me enamoro.
Cada historia pertenece a un integrante de la famosa banda de rock Stage Dive en la que caen enamorados por cuatro hermosas mujeres que terminan robándoles el corazón.
Me gustaron los cuatro libros (sobre todo y especialmente Play, guiño a Mal). Hay humor, mucho romance, música, encuentros, desencuentros, músicos sexys y escenas muy sensuales no está de más agregar (aclaro mi garganta). Está escrito de tal forma que me impidió parar de leer, tenía que seguir porque las historias y personajes son uno mejor que otro, la autora de logro hacerme una fan mas de la banda!

Okayy, this series was not what I accepted at all. It was lacking. I had very high expectations and it did not meet it. My favourite was the first and last book. They were really enjoyable. I loved Ben and David the most. Kylie Scott’s style was okay and known and I did not hate it nor loved it.

What an amazing collection of characters! These guys are like family to each other but when you start introducing love and relationships into the picture you get to experience how much more they all have to give and love each other.

Encore Encore... I need another book
So I had this on my want list, then I saw that Lick came out as a movie & decided to rent it. I was hooked. As soon as I finished it I wanted to read the book. I wasn't sure I'd be interested in reading about the other members because other than Mal they weren't highlighted in the movie so much. However, when I saw the single book price it was worth getting the set. I don't regret it at all. First, let me say watch the movie first or at least before book 2. The movie follows book 1 storyline 98% even down to what the characters say. But the main reason to watch it is for Mal. The actor in the movie nailed it & made his character come to life when reading. Obnoxious but yet lovable. If not you may want to kill him just reading the book. Lol The series covers all 4 brand members & their romances. Each are sweet, sexy, a little bit funny and of course some rock n roll drama. Worth the read..I did in 4 days-a book a day. Oh and the storylines do overlap and are continuous so you don't miss out on anything. Enjoy the Stage Dive show

Lick
This series has been on my TBR list quite a while, so I decided now was the time to break myself in with this author and series. I went in pretty blind, not rereading the blurb or any reviews. I liked the concept of an everyday girl waking up in Vegas married to a rockstar. David and Evelyn had a rocky start to their sudden marriage, but the attraction was there. I wanted to see more steam and to have it be a little more graphic, but I still enjoyed seeing these two together. This book was told only through Evelyn's POV, and had the desired HEA. No epilogue given, but hopefully the remainder of the series gives a good glimpse of David and Ev's future.
Play
After seeing the jokester side of Mal, I was happy to read his story and see what's behind the funny guy persona. This rockstar knows how to be the center of attention, but it's to distract his attention from deeper truths that haunt him. Anne has always loved Mal as her celebrity crush, so she's really hit the jackpot when he forces himself in her life. These two are so opposite in many ways and it makes for some hilariously awkward moments. The obvious chemistry makes it easy to be a couple, but hard to keep a straight head since they're both falling, yet doubting the other. The playful banter made for a good build up and steamy scenes that I would have loved to see through Mal's eyes. Again we see the story only through the heroine's POV, complete with a quick HEA. Play does have a small epilogue, and I'm sure we will continue to see the characters in the upcoming books.
Lead
Jimmy came off as a jerk in the previous books, so I was looking forward to seeing his redemption. It took a while, causing Lena heartache along the way, but these two found their HEA. While he's used to getting what he wants, he slowly bends to Lena's interests. Lead is told only is Lena's relatable POV, which actually worked out for the best. Jimmy didn't have a grasp on what his feelings meant, so his actions and words were all over the place while he was forced to figure ir out. I don't think adding his POV would have contributed much to the storyline, which is surprising since dual POV is my preferred style. The steam took a while to happen, but was sexy when it did. This story also wrapped up quickly with a tiny epilogue.
Deep
I'm always on board for a forbidden romance trope, and Deep provided just that. With Liz being Mal's new sister-in-law, he deems her off limits to Ben, the bassist in the band. The initial back and forth with the main duo made for a good chase, and that steamy scene where they gave in to their chemistry was absolutely delicious. The fall out was written well, especially since Mal is personally offended with the betrayed trust from his bandmate. Ben and Liz find their way eventually, with some HOT prego sex. Also told only in Liz's POV, this last installment wrapped up the series well and provided one last HEA for the last members of the group.
This series has been on my TBR list quite a while, so I decided now was the time to break myself in with this author and series. I went in pretty blind, not rereading the blurb or any reviews. I liked the concept of an everyday girl waking up in Vegas married to a rockstar. David and Evelyn had a rocky start to their sudden marriage, but the attraction was there. I wanted to see more steam and to have it be a little more graphic, but I still enjoyed seeing these two together. This book was told only through Evelyn's POV, and had the desired HEA. No epilogue given, but hopefully the remainder of the series gives a good glimpse of David and Ev's future.
Play
After seeing the jokester side of Mal, I was happy to read his story and see what's behind the funny guy persona. This rockstar knows how to be the center of attention, but it's to distract his attention from deeper truths that haunt him. Anne has always loved Mal as her celebrity crush, so she's really hit the jackpot when he forces himself in her life. These two are so opposite in many ways and it makes for some hilariously awkward moments. The obvious chemistry makes it easy to be a couple, but hard to keep a straight head since they're both falling, yet doubting the other. The playful banter made for a good build up and steamy scenes that I would have loved to see through Mal's eyes. Again we see the story only through the heroine's POV, complete with a quick HEA. Play does have a small epilogue, and I'm sure we will continue to see the characters in the upcoming books.

LICK Malditamente amo a David, es tan dulce y sensible, tanta cosa mala que le ha sucedido y aún así se aferra a Evvie. Claro, como que aún así debió de haberse pensado dos veces las cosas antes de casarse en Las Vegas...
PLAY ¿Qué decir de Mal? Los libros ya me los había leído, pero me dio por volvérmelos a leer, lo único que puedo pensar es que MAL ERICSON eres malditamente un payaso encantador. No paré de reír con todo lo que le decía a Anne y los mensajes ni se digan. Claro, se que lo que le sucede a su mamá repercute mucho en su actitud y ganas de destrozar su batería al igual que su hígado, pero todo está justificado.
LEAD Jimmy... Ohquerido, su mamá es una perra bruja ... después de la muerte de quien fue en realidad quien los apoyó como si fuese su madre y se hizo un loco tatuaje con el nombre de STAGE DIVE, lo arruinó y bastante, por suerte, Lena estuvo ahí para él, aún cuando la mayor parte del tiempo se comportó como un imbécil con ella, pero hay que reconocer que todas las mujeres que en algún momento fueron importante lo dejaron o simplemente le buscaban por el dinero. Me sorprendió un poco que no besara, porque, es más intimo poner la cara en los muslos de una chica que un beso, pero para Jimmy un beso significaba más. Mucho más. Sólo no tenía idea de como ser demostrarlo. Y Lena, Oh querida, yo no perdonaría a mi hermana, no creo que podría hacerlo....
DEEP Buen dios. ODIO MALDITAMENTE MUCHO A LIZ Existe algo que se llama orgullo, Ben se lo pisoteo innumerables veces, le rompió el corazón y aún así ella ahí seguía, detrás de él como perrito faldero. Lo acosaba con mensajes e invitándolo a cenar, si ya le había dicho que no quería nada porque podría joder a la banda, no, no le importaba, ella simplemente fue egoísta y sucedió toda la cosa del embarazo. Luego Ben seguía sin "sentar cabeza" seguía yendo de fiesta y tal vez no recibía mamadas de las groupies así como dijo Jimmy, pero eso no quita que él quería seguir siendo libre para poder ir de fiesta o simplemente para ir a otro estado a tocar con una banda. ¿ESTABAN ENAMORADOS? No. Liz estaba obsesionada con Ben, sí. Pero yo no creo que Ben tuviera grandes sentimientos hacia Liz, o no al menos como los demás miembros de la banda. Su amor fue bastante rápido, dramatico y me sacó de mis casillas tantas veces que desee poder meterme en libro y darle unos buenos guantazos a los dos.
Me gustaría saber si va a pasar algo con Sam y Martha... A la espera del libro de Vaughn, me gustó más para Lizzy que Ben, aún cuando intercambiaron casi nada de palabras. Así que "Dirty - Dive Bar" deseo que no me decepcione.

Lick - 1 star - I could not have hated this book more.
David married Evelyn when she was blackout drunk and then got angry at her the next morning because she didn’t remember their wedding. He took his anger out on her by first going off with a groupie and then accusing her of trying to f#%k his brother. David and Evelyn spent some time together and decided to stay in the marriage; at that time, they made two rules: 1. No cheating and 2. Always complete truth between them.
Evelyn went to a bar with the housekeeper to pick up some food; when some guy came and hit on Evelyn and she was fighting him off, David appeared out of nowhere and accused Evelyn of trying to f#%k that guy too. When they got home, they had some very rough $ex with dubious consent after which SHE apologized to HIM for “letting him down” by not remembering their wedding. He very generously accepted her apology.
Evelyn found out that David was distrustful of women because his first gf, the one he had built his house for, had cheated on him. After a concert, Evelyn found out that this gf was actually his PA, Martha, who still worked for him and that the two of them still wore their matching diamond earrings. When she went to confront him after the concert, she found him kissing Martha. When Evelyn went to walk out on him, he refused to give her any explanation and told her that if she left, it was over between them and he never wanted to see her again.
She left anyway and he didn’t bother to contact her for a month after which he showed up saying that they needed to talk. Even though he was trying to get her back, he still blamed her for leaving and not himself for breaking both of the rules that they set for their marriage. 1. He cheated on her and 2. He lied about the earring (she asked him if it had any special significance and he said it didn’t) and he kept it from her that Martha was his ex.
At that point, I was done. I would give this book 0 stars if I could.
Play -2 stars - Mal was a manic, juvenile, self absorbed child and Anne was a spineless doormat.
Lead - 4 stars - ❤️
Deep - 2 stars - This one was a big disappointment; Ben was an epic a$$hole, running from Liz and the baby every time he got a bit scared. And, Liz was a doormat, taking him back every time he claimed it would be different this time.
Total: 2 stars. As much as I loved "Lead", I'm not interested in buying books where the H treats the h like shit and she just rolls over and takes it. Nope.
* I'm only putting this book on my "Love" shelf because I really loved "Lead" and I want to be able to find it in the future when I want to read it again.

I don't know we're to start with this series. I come upon this series because I needed a change from my some oh some oh romantic books that I had been reading. When I first read the description on the first book I was kind of afraid to read it because I have never read a book about rock stars involved in romantic novel. But I give Kylie scotts fives stars for this series because she did a great job with it. As soon as I started to read the first book lick I was hooked and couldn't put it down and even to the end of the four book I was still hooked. I end up recommending this series to a few of my friends because that's how much I loved them. I suggest that you try this series out before judging it. If after the first book you don't like it that's fine but I suggest trying it first. Great job over all with this series.

Une bonne série dans la veine de la série Thoughtless - S.C. Stephens. Une nouvelle fois on se laisse emporter par une histoire très Rock entre un beau tatoué perturbé et une fille normale. Dans les tome 1, la rencontre entre ces personnes opposées a bien sur lieu dans la ville de toutes les possibilités: Vegas!
Chaque tome se concentre sur un des membres du quatuor de Stage Dive. J'ai beaucoup aimé que même quand le tome d'un personnage se termine, on continue à suivre le nouveau couple à travers les yeux d'une autre personne.
En gros, si vous cherchez une bonne d'ose d'humour, de romantisme et d'amitié, n'hésitez pas!
Juste un petit bémol pour mon cote féministe mais pourquoi toutes les femmes de ce livre ont un petit boulot, des problèmes financiers ou un avenir professionnel incertain? J'aurai préfere des femmes fortes épanouies professionnellement! Mais bon ....

I liked this book. It was nice to read about a rocker that wanted a "normal" chick. Okay, so I didn't really finish this book. Not because it was bad or anything. In fact it was very good. The writing was well done and clever, but being a Teen Librarian, my stack of NEED to read out weighs my good time read. But apparently if I'm going to read fluff, I want a little M/M action.

These books are amazing!
I could see the characters and their personalites and feel Them through all the books. And you also get to follow all the characters in all the books even if the main characters changed.
I am recommending these for everyone into som romance with rock stars

Binge Worthy
Even though I'm "late to the party" of Stage Dive legend, this series still rocked my world! If you're like me, knowing of these books, but just never having time to "dive in" as it were, MAKE time now. The band, and their love stories are really quite awesome!
