Gravity
Connor is used to difficult. Bratty. Ungrateful. Being a personal trainer to Hollywood elite has inured him to even the most stubborn, obnoxious client. Until he meets Jaeden, rhythm guitarist of New Schism, who seems to have simply given up on life, content to wallow in his den and ignore anyone stupid enough to bother him.All Jaeden wants is to be left alone. His boyfriend is dead. He's finished rehab. He's out of music, out of motivation-just out. When Connor shows up being demanding, pushy, and unreasonable, Jaeden refuses to cooperate. Then he's told that if he doesn't shape up and get back into touring shape, he's out of the band he's spent his life taking to the top of the charts.Stubborn meets obstinate in a battle of wills, one fighting to do his job, the other fighting to be left in peace-neither expecting the victory that emerges.

This is the second book I've read by Laurin Kelly, the first being, Under the Knife, which I loved.
This time the focus of our MM Romance is Jaeden Bartlett, rhythm guitarist for modern rock band, New Schism. Fresh out of rehab and 40lbs overweight, the 22-yo has been warned to either get his ass into shape or risk being kicked out of the band.
Connor Macklin is the personal trainer hired by the band's manager to move in with Jaeden and basically take control of his life. It won't be easy. Jaeden is currently a belligerent little shit.
Both Jaeden and Connor are very likable characters. Connor is very sweet and patient but also motivated and determined. He takes his job seriously but has a big heart.
As for Jaeden, we know there's a sensitive musician under all that pain and anger and Connor is appalled when he starts falling for his client as he starts to emerge from all the sweat and tears.
Excellent characterizations, great dialogue, good plot, interesting setting, explicit sex.
