New Adult Romance author. Reading was my earliest passion, often seeking the sanctuary of my room or the library to read everything I could get my hands on. I penned romantic poetry in high school and was winning school awards for my short stories at 16. In college I would hibernate in the library for days at a time, consuming every short story and novel I could find.
I probably drink too much coffee and eat too much junk food, but to compensate do like running and rollerblading outdoors when the weather is nice. I'm a hopeful romantic who prefers stories with a happy ending. You can often find me in a library or coffee shop working on my next story, or with my nose in a book.

This is a very entertaining series. Sometimes I wanted to pull my hair out due to the antics of some of the characters (honestly, most of the characters at one point or another fell into this category) but that's part of what made it fun. Jasper has a heart bigger than he lets anyone see. Hailey hides behind oversized clothes and styles that were questionable when they first hit the scene. Together they pull out the best in each other... if only they could get their crap together and stop hiding from their truths. 😉💕✨
Even if the accents were off on occasion, I liked the narrator.

I listened to all four books in one sitting. I'm happy I didn't have to wait for each one! Oh the cliffhangers! From start to finish, I was completely enthralled with Hailey and Jasper's story. There were moments I wanted to just shake the both of them. The teasing, the jealousy, their Emotions, their connection with each other is felt throughout the books. This is another great series by Clarissa Carlyle.
Laurie West narration is very good, Her ability to transition from one character to the other is flawless. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review

This boxed set includes all four installments in the Managed Series, a Rock Star Romance series. Jasper and Hailey's slow burn story is sweet and easy to listen to. The storyline is filled with drama, and twists and turns. I love the HEA. Jemma, from Entertainment with Jem Series, makes an appearance is this series. I love these series interconnected. Laurie West did a good job with the narration.

Managed: A Rock Star Romance, Boxed Set
By: Clarissa Carlyle
Narrated by: Laurie West
Series: Managed, Book 1-4
Rock star romances are one of my favorite genres the Managed series has me falling in love. We previously met Jasper in the Entertainment with Jem series. He is the lead singer for the band Weeds, and is falling to bad publicity. Hailey works in public relations and has been assigned to help Jasper fix his image. But what will she be able to without falling for him? Jasper is a great character because he isn't satisfied. I know, sounds terrible, but he knows what he expects out of life, and where he is with his band is not what he wants. Hailey sees Jasper for who he is an not the rock star and for him this is refreshing. Hailey is just as much fun for me because she lacks confidence in herself when she is really an awesome person. Will these two find their way to love? Or is the public in their way? Book 2 has circumstances and cognizant decisions keeping these two apart! It is so frustrating they cannot see what is right in front of them. Or do they? Jasper is doing his best to keep her at arms length and it's pushing her into another! But the chemistry is still sizzling, and Hailey is still doing her best to build his image despite anything that is coming to light.Book 3 continues with so much drama for the couple, and there doesn't seem to be a resolution in sight! The addition of Autumn has raised the stakes, and she is wreaking havoc on Jasper's image building. Matthew continues his path as a total narcissistic jerk, Missy and Dustin's situation is spiraling out of control and Hailey is left trying to pick up the pieces plus keep her own reputation in tact. Listening to this is a fantastic soap opera type style of frustration, hope and love! was so excited to get this book! The fourth in the Managed series giving us the outcome of Jasper and Hailey! Autumn continues down her destructive path, but Hailey is determined not to let it effect the reputation of Jasper. We still have Tara wreaking havoc and Dustin and Missy are still working out their differences. Clarissa Carlyle wraps it all up with some surprises and excitement. I love these characters. Each has developed over the series and had me grow some strong feelings for them. Some I loved, some I loved to hate! The story is fun, flirty and exciting, and it just made my heart warm as I listened. Each episode had me looking for more and the finale is awesome! Plus we even have a mention of Jemma! I love crossovers! This is a great summer listen and you should add it to your list.
Laurie West brings each of these volumes to life. She is fantastic with the Aussie accent and makes Jasper larger than life. As Hailey, she finds her confidence and uses her voice to show the change as she grows. I love her and her performance is stellar.

Jasper is a world famous rock star with his band, the Weeds, but his fame isn't always about the music, especially now that the record label has ordered his band to sing covers and other music that isn't created by the Weeds. How long can he continue being a sell-out? He's definitely a bad boy, some might say a manwhore, but the public has never really seen anything of the real Jasper, the caring man who still remembers what it was like to be bullied. He hasn't always used common sense when choosing a girlfriend and he's totally blind-sided by a sexy society girl with beauty and fame. Unfortunately for Jasper, she's also vindictive and, when he breaks up with her, she gets revenge by posting pictures of the two of them in compromising positions. Jasper's reputation is on its way to being destroyed and Hailey is hired as his new public relations manager to salvage what's left of his image and move forward. They work very well together and Jasper really loves working with the kids of Hailey's charities, going for walks and visiting with old people in the park. When it appears that Hailey and Jasper may be figuring out how much they really care about one another but, again, a new girlfriend, ex-girlfriend or even another man become part of the equation. These two may be great together, but they sure don't reason very well! If they don't stop assuming they know everything that's going on and talk about what's on their mind, they don't have a future. The first 3 books of this series were fascinating, even though I was starting to think that Jasper had frozen Hailey out and was simply "settling" with Autumn by the 3rd cliffhanger. Book 4 tied up the loose ends, but I didn't feel as if the story was complete. The ending felt a little rushed and I'd really like more closure. An extended epilogue, perhaps? This is another excellent series written by Clarissa Carlisle with an exceptional narration by Laurie West!

A Rock star, a PR agent and an attention seeking troll, walk into a bar......
Hailey Finch works for Big Deal PR company. She's a woman in a male dominated profession. All she needs is a big client to help her get the respect she deserves.
Jasper Daly, lead singer of Jasper and the Weeds. A bad boy rock star,just doing the usual things while trying to write songs with meaning again, and not the over popularised pop stuff.
Enter Tara, experienced bad girl, and Jaspers girlfriend. Well she was, until she posted pictures of the two of them going at it on his Instagram account.
Hailey Finch is given the task of cleaning up his image and seems to be doing a damned good job.
Make the rock star, stud muffin look good, take him to help out at some children's charities, and Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt, every body wins and they all live happily ever after.
Oh, did I mention the part where he dates another flake, she crushes on her work colleague, who turns out to be a total douchenozzle, and then realizes that she's actually fallen for the bad boy rock star?
Yeah.....their troubles have only just begun.

Definite potential...
Ok...so, I didn’t hate this series of books. However, I just have to say this story could have been easily condensed into just 1 full length novel. The idea/plot was actually really good and interesting...but wow, there were so many problems with continuity of story line. In one place the author notes the hero tells the heroine he wrote a song about her (completely glossed over and SO MUCH MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR ANGST) and then later in the story he sings it and she didn’t know about the song...? 🤷🏼♀️
Little parts where the author has the author walk to one location and then restates later that he “sat up in the bed”. There are so many descriptions of the minutia and missed opportunity to explore dialogue to expand the personalities of her characters. The books drag a bit and the ending comes too easily as compared to what these characters were dragged through. So...it was just ok.

Great set of books showcasing a hot, sexy rock star who is indulgent and tarnishes his image, one can only imagine how he manages to do that! Enter a sexy, PR heroine who is tasked with cleaning up his image. The attraction is there, but first, there are pesky bad girls to eliminate from the picture, then dating the wrong guy doesn't help, but eventually, they realize they have the right love interest and finally act upon those feelings. Personal growth and revelations, chemistry-laden interactions and finally an HEA.

Rocker...bad boy or wholesome
Great series. A spinoff of jemma the blogger. He is a rocker who has a bad boy image but really isn't and she is a PR rep who is supposed to clean up his act. The sparks fly between them but as life generally happens they have their ups and down. Lots of action and I read it in one sitting...

How to make a bad boy rocker look good in 10 days!
It seems to be an impossible task, especially when he keeps acting like an idiot!
So many things are going wrong for Hailey she is about to go completely insane...but she is both determined and persistent. She will win the war, one battle (or ten) at a time!
This series rocks, pun intended. I can't wait to see what she writes next. 👀

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of these books individually. Now they are being offered in a set. I have attached my reviews for each book.
Book 1
This is the first book in a new series. It is actually a spin off of the Entertainment of Jemma series but you do not have to read that one first. I didn't.
Jasper is an up and coming rock star with a bad boy image who gets a little too much bad press. Hailey is hired to be his new PR rep to help turn his bad press to good.
This first book is a huge cliff hanger and can't wait for the next book.
Book 2
Jasper is in an accident and Hailey is there to help him. They start getting a little too close and realize they need to back off because Hailey will lose her job. Now they both hide there feeling and try to see other people.
This book leaves you wondering what happens next. I can't hardly stand it.
Book 3
Jasper is trying to hide his feelings for Hailey by going out with Autumn. Autumn is totally bad for his reputation and keeps getting him in trouble which causes more work for Hailey. Hailey knows Autumn is just out to ruin her own imagine but Hailey is bound by her job to tell Jasper about it.
As always this series leaves you waiting for what is going to happen next.
Thanks for a great read!
Book 4
This book is the final book of this series.
Jasper finally sees Autumn true colors and dumps her. He figures it's time to own up to his feelings for Hailey. Only when he goes to tell her, he finds her out with Matthew having a great time.
This was such a good series. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for a great read!
