Summary

The bad boy rocker needs a babysitter.

There’s no streaking on the Las Vegas Strip. So when Damien Cross, lead singer for the rock band Demons from Hell, gets drunk and caught doing just that, his label gives him a choice. He can agree to let a representative follow him around on the tour and keep him in line, or he can be replaced with someone who won’t cost the company its reputation. The last thing he needs is a babysitter. Then he meets her.

Lydia has a passion for music. Working for the record label is her dream come true. Having to watch over Damien Cross, however, is a nightmare. If she blows this assignment, she could lose her job. If she hooks up with the lead singer like every other girl he meets, she could lose her heart.

Review

Damien starts off with a bang – “I don’t need a fucking babysitter.” Really, a rock star needing a babysitter? Well, that is what happens when Damien Cross gets drunk (not an unusual event) and then streaks down the Las Vegas Strip. But if you look at Damien’s recent behavior…that just might be what he needs”

“A fucking babysitter,” I muttered under my breath. Truth be told, I remembered very little about the night in Vegas. I was remembering very little about most nights.”

Well, to me that definitely signaled a problem. Not just with his drinking and drugs but I needed to know the underlying reason for Damien’s nightly flights from reality. Glad to see, even on a superficial level, the record label trying to do something, their motivations are not the same, but at least it should help Damien straighten out?

In comes Lydia, an administrative assistant in the head office that has been assigned to make sure Damien does not go off the rails again. Lydia is to accompany the band on tour with the goal of keeping Damien fully clothed and hopefully out of trouble.

Needless to say, the beginning is rocky. Damien pushes Lydia and Lydia does not put up with his rude behavior.

“….Are you ready to watch me get drunk and f*** groupies?” I chuckled.

Her green eyes flashed at me. “This is why I get the big bucks.”

She was a feisty on; I liked that.

“Maybe you’ll want to join us.: I waggled my eyebrows at her and stared pointedly at her cleavage.

She adjusted her shirt and rolled her eyes at me. “Doubtful, Mr. Cross.”

“Call me Damien. Then again, it might be hot to hear you cry out ‘Mr. Cross’ while I’m eating your pussy.” I was pushing her, seeing how far she’d let me go.

“Damien, I trust you won’t talk to me like that again, or I’ll report back to Mr. Ryan that you’re a hopeless bad boy who can never be tamed and therefore a risk for the record label.”….

I was pissed; she was hot, but she was a bitch.

Well if that does not get you hooked on this short novella, I don’t know what will!

The eventual hook up and relationship between Lydia and Damien was expected. But what wasn’t expected was the feelings that developed. This is good because being “real” just might allow Damien to write again…. Get his passion for the music back.

Without giving too much more away, I suggest you pick up this novella and give it a read. This may have been my first read by author Zane Morrow, but it will not be the last.

sometimes it only takes one person to make you see the light so to speak. Lydia was hired to watch over Damian and make sure he stayed out of trouble. One more incident and he was going to be fired. Could this innocent girl tame this Rock star? He lost his way lost his Muse but could she be the one to bring it back. Sometimes you just need that one person to bring it all into perspective. Lydia did that for Damien.

Damien by Zane Morrow is a rock star romance. This is book one of the Demons from Hell Book. Damien is the lead singer of the band Demons from Hell, and is well known for his partying and sleeping with lots of girls. After his last concert, he crossed the line and now his record company is very upset with him and have decided so hire him a “babysitter” to make sure he stays out of trouble. This is where Lydia steps in. Lydia is an assistant at the record company and has proven herself as a hard worker and decent human being so that owners of the record company decides to make her Damien’s babysitter. As soon as Lydia & Damien meet the sparks fill, Damien thinks she is a stuck-up B**** and Lydia thinks he is a pig. She decides she doesn’t have to like him to keep him out of trouble. You must read this book to see the sparks that fly between these two characters. This was a well written book and a quick read and I really liked it. There was a one scene that had a little violence and there was some sexual content.

Damien instantly without any description put me in mind of the actor who plays Lucifer on the TV show, accent and all and no matter how hard I tried it just stuck. Of course the band's name was rather appropriate for the description I was sizing up for him, which I found rather hilarious. It was a really quick read and I felt the author could have really dragged the story out a whole lot more and gave a lot more depth to both characters and the plot, but the length of it, he did a good job. It was a quirky, entertaining read that had some steam to it. Damien is the classic wild rocker who has to be tamed down and Lydia while not exactly a saint is a good match for him. They do make a good couple. It's a good read.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And there's no exception for big bad boy rockstar Damien Cross. The last thing he wants is to be stuck with some woman threatening to take away the only thing he loves. Lydia certainly didn't expect her employment to be contingent on keeping The Bad Boy of Rock out of trouble. Neither one of them wants to be where they are, but when the masks come off they may have found something more precious than they knew they were looking for. This is very short so I didn't feel like I connected as deeply with the characters as I would have liked, but I know there's more titles coming in the series so I hope future books will help make up for that lack.

Thin Plot....

Well, I don't know what to expect, but this is not a book per se. Maybe a novella? The story was not fully developed and I didn't feel the hero and heroine. Their love or feelings was suspect. No feel, no pull. The way it ended they might be over in a jiffy. Sorry.

Damien Cross is the lead singer of the Demons of Hell rock group. He has a reputation for drinking too much and then getting into trouble. His record label decides to have an employee, Lydia, go out on tour with the group essentially as a babysitter, to make sure he behaves. Damien, of course, is resentful of Lydia and they get off to a rough start. At first, Lydia finds Damien obnoxious and arrogant. After spending some time together, their feelings for each other start to change. Can Damien change his bad boy ways? This book is a very good start to the series. I enjoy this author's books and think there very well written.

Sexy and fun

This short story is fun and sexy. Not nearly long enough though. Is this just a sample? I'll be looking for more from this author.
