I live life in the fast lane. My days and nights are a never-ending party of women, fast cars and alcohol. I'm the one your daddy warned you about. I have everything I ever wanted—except Audra Abelman. She was always the good girl. She was off limits. I held out for almost a decade. It's time to set her inner bad girl free. I'm Jimmy Wilder, and I'm going to claim the most sought after girl in the record industry.
Jimmy Wilder has the sex life every rock star dreams about. The notorious playboy of America’s number one punk rock band can have any woman he wants, except the one who holds his heart. This bad boy needs to curb his sinful ways before she’ll show any interest in him, but there’s one more problem—she’s the boss’s daughter.
Audra Abelman, heir to one of the most powerful record labels in the country, just landed her dream job as tour manager for her favorite band. She’s been Immortal Angel’s number one groupie for years, and she’s been privy to the out-of-control lifestyle of their radical drummer. Trapped on a tour bus with the charismatic Jimmy Wilder, she falls victim to his irresistible charm, but she refuses to compromise her ethics. He needs to get his life together before she’ll give him a second glance, but a bigger obstacle stands in their way—her father.

Jenna Galicki, Author of Adult Contemporary Romance
Jenna Galicki writes mostly rock star romance in multiple genres. She is predominantly known for her Radical Rock Stars Series. The Prince of Punk Rock (Radical Rock Stars Book 1) was a finalist in the 2015 Bisexual Book Awards.
A native New Yorker, she now resides in Southern California. She's a Rottweiler enthusiast and an avid music buff. When she's not hunched over a computer, you can find her front row at a rock concert. Follow Jenna Galicki, she would love to hear from you:
Jimmy Wilder - Immortal Angel’s notorious manwhore…a wild and reckless playboy who lives for music and easy women…a man who’s never had a real relationship with a woman because it definitely doesn’t fit into his rocker lifestyle.
Audra Abelman - Immortal Angel’s biggest fan and foremost supporter. She’s the woman who ensures the band’s success on the road. She’s a straight laced girl who should be off limits to a man like Jimmy, but when he learns that there’s a bad girl behind the good girl facade, he wants her to come out and play, and Audra’s willing as long as there’s a few ground rules between them.
In a lot of stories, I have a hard time buying into the idea that a playboy with quite the reputation could instantly make a 360-degree turn around and become a one woman man, but Jenna Galicki provides readers with Jimmy’s internal thoughts and the reasons behind his reformation, and she also makes Jimmy work for Audra, which makes it a lot easier to buy in to Jimmy’s new demeanor.
Galicki makes the transition a bit harder by throwing angst and disapproving characters in Jimmy and Audra’s path, forcing Jimmy to prove himself on a number of levels, ensuring that he’s the real deal in his commitment to Audra.
The crazy antics of the Immortal Angel’s other band members and their significant others as well as the bond between all of them is also highlighted in Rock Star Redemption, providing readers with even more insight of the series’ previous characters and what they’re up to since their own books were completed.
Jimmy and Audra’s story is a fast paced read told in dual POVs, providing readers with sweet, sexy, and drama filled moments that will have them shaking their heads as well as cheering for the couple to make it through everything that’s thrown at them.
A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
The fourth book in the Radical Rock Stars series is all about Immortal Angel’s sexy, single drummer, Jimmy Wilder. And boy does he live up to his last name—the wilder, the better. Known for his sexcapades—threesomes, foursomes, and beyond, Jimmy’s been living the life of the ultimate rock star. Women throw themselves at Jimmy on a daily basis, but the one woman Jimmy wants is untouchable—she’s the boss’s daughter, Audra Abelman.
Audra has grown up in the world of music and musicians. She knows all about the rock star lifestyle and has no plans to fall for Jimmy Wilder. Jimmy’s bound and determined to show Audra that he’s a changed man and is ready to settle down, but will he be able to convince her father?
I love this punk rock star series. Jimmy’s been the single man of the group for so long. He’s had one-night-stand after one-night-stand for years. But when Audra is made their tour manager and Jimmy finally realizes he’s ready to look toward the future, he’s got his work cut out for him because there have been so many notches scratched into his bedpost.
I love how strong-willed, confident and stubborn Audra is. She’s a perfect match for Jimmy. She’s been a huge fan of the band since their first shows and has been friends with them for years. Angel, Tommy and Damien are like her overprotective brothers and don’t want Jimmy to screw things up. Jessi and Alyssa lay their parts too—and it’s so great to see them all rally around Jimmy and Audra when they need it!
I’m looking forward to the next novella in the series this winter. Can’t wait to see what Ms. Galicki has in store for Jessi, Tommy and Angel… ~ Missy, 4.5 stars
This is Jimmy Wilder, Immortal Angel's drummer and Audra, the band's label rep story. To call Jimmy a manwhore is to show disrespect for manwhores. He's single, loves sex and takes advantage of every female opportunity that comes his way. He's had his eye on Audra for a long time, but he thinks she's smart, rich (or her daddy who owns the label is) and she is too good for him. But he's caught her eye too.
Once these two finally hook up Jimmy starts to realize that maybe, just maybe he might be the man who could be with her. Gone are the three ways, four ways, anyways but Audra ways. But other things beyond his control are going on-problems with the press and ghosts (or skanks) from the past come barging in with news that will change Jimmy's life forever. Will he lose Audra over this? Can he man up and take responsibility for his life?
All the band mates are in this story-Damian, Angel, Tommy and their ladies-Jessi and Alyssa. The band is flying high and their success has never been greater. Lots of bands would succumb to the pressures and end up imploding with such rapid success, but this band is a band of brothers and their bond is stronger than ever.
It's a great feeling when you stumble across a fabulous series which keeps you addicted from start to finish. I bonded with the characters and I was instantly transported into their world. The series centers around a band called Immortal Angel and the reader witnesses their rise to world domination.
Book # 4 is Jimmy and Audra's tale. Successful and talented drummer Jimmy has lived the good life whilst finding fame with Immortal Angel. Many woman have been in his bed, but after falling for Audra, his record company's boss' daughter, he ready to show the world that he is ready to settle down with one woman. Of course life isn't a fairytale and many hurdles have to be overcome before he can prove that he is a changed man.
I didn't want this book to end, as I knew that the author had now covered all the characters in the band and this was the end of what was a truly great series. Or is it? Well done Ms Galicki, I'm so glad that I found your books and I can't wait to read more from you.
Oh man, I was blown away by Rock Star Redemption by Jenna Galicki. It was an amazing story and it was wonderfully written. Jenna's characters are real and beautiful. She makes you feel like they are friends and you want what is best. Jimmy is the bad boy drummer living the rock star life. He is fun and sexy with a great big heart. Audra is the boss's daughter who is in charge of the Immortal Angels. You see the instant attraction between them. They take a chance on each other. Jimmy works on changing his wild ways. Together they explore a real relationship and discover a love unlike any other. Although they are thrown some bumps with unexpected surprises. It is a beautiful thing to see. It was a wonderful story of growing and facing mistakes and learning to accept yourself and others. Well done Jenna.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
I am a giant fan of this series. I fell in love with Jessi, Tommy and Angle but have also grown more in love with the other characters of the series as I have enjoyed the other books. I have to admit that I have been waiting for man whore wild man Jimmy to fall in love but the character Jenna picked for him was perfect. Jimmy has essentially been the only single man in the group. He has had a lot of fun using his money and fame to bed hop but always looking at Audra and wondering. Audra is their tour manager but also the daughter of Bossman. She is off limits but after hearing her one night in her bunk…Jimmy was hooked. He needed to get to know her. Audra was not an idiot. She knew Jimmy’s rep and had seen his way with woman but she was stunned when he was interested in him. She put him through hell but slowly realized he was serious about getting to know her. She refused to be a notch but then realize she was falling in love with the reformed party man. The couple really get to know and respect each other before taking this relationship to the next level. Now don’t go thinking that everyone was on board with this. Uhm NO!! The band love Audra and doesn’t want Jimmy to hurt her. Bossman is not thrilled that his daughter is hooking up with THIS band member. Fans hate her for taking their favorite playboy and settling him down but the biggest fight was in the form of a woman from the bands past who will do anything to get what she wants from Jimmy.
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good Books.
This is book four in the series, and while it would help if you had read the other three, its not entirely necessary. It just really helps because a character from book one turns up and you need to know just how low she will go to get what she wants.
Jimmy has lusted after Audra from afar, for years. But she is way out his league. Audra has lusted after Jimmy, but isn't too fond of his partying, drinking, different woman or three on his arm every night.When Audra is promoted to their tour manager for the next leg of the world tour, Jimmy sees it as a way to get to know Audra better, and clean up his act. But when previouslt mentioned character turns up, and throws a bombshell and Jimmy, he and Audra are tested to their limits.
For me, the weakest of the four books.Why?? No idea, but thats my overwhelming feeling after finishing it. I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, it just felt ...whats the word that I need....dunno, can't find it. Its just felt less.
It has angst, and pain, joy and love, hatred and blackmail, lots of things to make it good, and for some, it will be amazing, but not quite for me.
I loved that Jimmy bucked his ideas up, right away, and stuck to his guns. I loved that he stepped up when said bitch dropped that bombshell.
All the band members play a part, well,they are on tour, so they had to really! But I loved that, that they not only popped up, but played a huge part.
A good read, very well written, from both characters POV, it just didn't quite hit the spot, for me.
4 stars.

BRILLIANT! AMAZING! MY FAVORITE BOOK OF THIS SERIES!
Jenna Galicki has become one of my favorite rocker authors. I have fallen in love with her writing and her books. The characters and story-line in all her books always leave me wanting more. I can not wait for the next book of this series!
This book has become my favorite book of her series. The moment I picked up this book I knew that I would have hard time putting it down until I devoured every last page and I had it devoured in hours.
I love the story between Audra and Jimmy. If you have read all the books of this series then you know that Audra and Kira have been part of the history of Immortal Angel. In each book the readers have been watching these two sisters grown up and become part of the executive side of the band then just the groupies they were at the beginning. This history between the band and the two sisters really brings out the true story that becomes the love story that will tug at your heart.
This is a must read book! You will fall head over heels in love with the twist and turns that Audra and Jimmy endure while discovering themselves as well as each other.
I HIGHLY recommend this book! Go grab your copy! You will enjoy this amazing love story and the typical antics of the other members of Immortal Angel.
Jimmy is the man whore of Immortal Angel. He has so many notches on his bedpost; it has been whittled down to a toothpick. He had always admired Audra from a distance, but steered clear feeling she was too good for him. When she started being receptive to his advances there was no holding either of them back. Jimmy was ready. Ready for a new life, ready to be a one-woman man, ready for his forever.
“You’re the missing piece to my heart that I didn’t even know was gone. Now it’s whole.”
Audra has always had a crush on Jimmy, but was never a fan of his post show extracurricular activities. Her father is even less of a fan knowing how rock stars can be. These two have some major “daddy issues” to overcome making for a pretty rocky road. This is NOT a standalone and it is awesome to tag along with the band again and check in with all of them and everything rounds out nicely with the story from the last member of the band. This series is filled with fun chatter, filthy sex and rock & roll making it an entertaining, fun and easy read.
Jenna hits it out of the Amphitheater!! OK, I'm mixing saying but seriously! Oh Jimmy Wilder, living up to his name as the badboy drummer of Immortal Angel, no one ever believes he will slow down, let alone settle down. Audra's their number one fan, their tour manager, all business but can Jimmy Wilder break through her guard and show her a love she's never known? This book is their story, the ups the downs, the trials. It's well written, with more character depth and a never-ending supply of emotion. Aside from being a love story, it's a tale about growing up, about understanding what's important in life and learning what you will fight for. Of course the story also gives you the rest of the characters and a look at where Immortal Angel is going and how they're growing. The Australian tour makes you feel like you're there, I can still hear the crowd shouting! Jenna is a genius when it comes to writing about music. You'll love every minute of this one and of course, Jimmy and Audra too.
Jimmy's story......my most favorite of them all!!! Jimmy has always been the man whore of group. He would take on as many girls at one time that would have him. But, he's always had his eye on one person, Audra. Audra has been following the group since the beginning, she knows Jimmy's rep. So when he starts flirting with her, actually making an effort to get her attention, including cutting back on drinking and coming right to the bus after shows, she figures give him a chance and let him hang himself. Little does she realize how much he wants this. Things are going great for the couple, until her father finds out...With the boss against them, can their love survive? And what else does fate have in store for them??

And what else does fate have in store for them??
Jimmy was the bad boy drummer of the band and the biggest playboy of them all but he took a good look at his life and wanted more. He wanted more then just the empty party and groupies, he wanted Audra his tour manager and the daughter of the label’s owner. Audra wanted Jimmy but she knew his lifestyle and reputation and she wasn’t going to be just another notch on his rockstar belt. She also knew her dad was going to blow an artery when he heard who she was with. Jimmy and Audra were so sweet and caring toward each other it was just romantic. Jimmy was very romantic and I loved them as a couple. But I could almost feel the train wreck heading in their direction, but I was wrong. There was a little drama but the couple stuck together and they were awesome. I love that these guys live in New York City and they mention New York Presbyterian hospital where I worked for forty-two years for the surgeons that would have placed the stents, maybe even Mehmet Oz. I loved this story and I’m giving it five stars and I highly recommend it.
Jenna Galicki's Immortal Angel continues to reign supreme in the rockstar romance world. This 4th installment focuses on Jimmy, drummer and womanizer extraordinaire. Can he convince the woman he has watched for years that now is their time? Is the intense chemistry they share enough to overcome the gigantic obstacles that keep coming up in their road to HEA?
Since this is part of Ms. Galicki's Radical Rock Stars series, it is only for the over 18 crowd, but is m/F for those that have turned away from this series for other combinations. Highly recommended, as is the whole series. I suppose they could be read as standalones (except 2 & 5 ) but it will flow much better if you have read them in order.
Wow I mean wow. I loved this story. It was intense. Made you mad happy sad elated gritty and the list goes on. Jimmy Audra Mason Angel Tommy Jessi Alyssa Damien Kira what a group. Written so well you could see it as you read it. Absolutely loved this book.
This book is absolutely fantastic!!! I love all the extra characters that join in. I also love how everything comes together and works out perfectly in the end!!!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book in return for a honest review.
Author: Jenna Galicki Rockstar Redemption Book 4 Radical Rockstar Series - 5 Immortal Angel stars!
Jimmy Wilder- notorious Rocker bad-boy.
Audra Ableman- The good girl.
What I like about this story is this isn't your cliche Rocker Romance. You know, Rocker meets non-fan girl at a concert she didn't want to attend... wham, bam, their in love. Boring! Nope! That's not how Jenna rolls.
Audra is Immortal Angels biggest fan. She has been since they started out. She's also the heir of one of the biggest record labels in the country, which makes her the bosses daughter. Audra just landed her dream job as Immortal Angels Tour Manager. How awesome is that, her all time fave Punk Rock band....
The Bad boy punk rocker who wants her? Immortal Angel's drummer,Jimmy Wilder! The best part is, he has to work his ass off to get her and keep her. No one is making it easy for him either. Remember Audra's father "The Boss", and then there is Jimmy's loyal fans. One hell of a ride. But of course, it wouldn't work out if Audra didn't want him back...
With all of that going on, a tour, and crazyness all around them, their chemistry is chart toppers and it's still growing over time. Is it Audra who changes Jimmy's playboy ways? I think Jimmy couldn't do it, if he himself didn't have a hand or two in it.
Jenna Galicki deserves all 5 Immortal Angel stars! I couldn't put this book down and if you are a fan of Rocker Romance with angst like I am, then this is a book for you. So what are you waiting for? The Immortal Angels concert? Go one-click, buy it, wish it, make it yours so you can start devouring it. Warning : New Rockstar Book Boyfriend up ahead in your futures! Girls, no fighting, we can share. Cutting Muse signing out.
I make no secret that I am a huge fan of Jenna Galicki. I have loved this entire series, but I think this is my second favorite in the series (it would be impossible to be better than The Prince of Punk Rock). Jimmy has been the wild card in the band all along. I have been waiting for someone to tame his wild ways, someone he felt was worth respecting himself for.
I was a little more than surprised to find out that Audra was that woman. Audra and her sister Kira have been involved as fans from the first book. Being the boss's daughter and the band's tour manager, she should be off limits to any of the band members. Of course, she has to be the one Jimmy is attracted to. I loved seeing how Jimmy proves himself worthy of her. He made a lot of life changes in a very short amount of time. I kept waiting for him to screw up, fall back to his old ways. Then that bi**h shows up and I thought it was all over. Just waiting for it all to fall apart kept me from putting this book down. I tried to go to sleep before finishing it, but it wasn't happening. I needd to know what happened.
One thing I truly enjoyed about this book is that, although the book focuses on Jimmy and Audra, we still get a lot of all the characters I have come to love. We get to follow the band when they are not on tour, seeing their creative process at work. It made me realize just how close they are, like their own family. I can't wait to see what they are up to next.
This book is written in third person POV but is almost felt like alternating first person because Jenna switches focus and writes so well you think you are there. It is part of a series, but could probably be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading the others first, after all, their all amazing.
I was excited to read this book. I finally was going to read Jimmy story. I knew whoever tamed this bad boy was going to give him a run for his money, and Audra surely does that. We get to see that Audra doesn't play games and Jimmy must prove to her that his heart only belongs to her. I have read all of Jenna's books I love them but by far this is my favorite. I love the storyline continues to follow other Immortal Angel members and we get to see what is going on in their lives. From The Prince of Punk Rock to Rock Star Redemption you will not be disappointed, they are well written, and the characters have a realism to them that you feel like your part of the Immortal Angel family.
Jimmy is use to getting any woman he wants, but there is only woman that holds his heart. He is a true bad boy being the drummer in Immortal Angel. He has held out for a decade for Audra but now its time to make her his.
Audra is the heir to one of the biggest and powerful record label. She has finally landed her dream job as the tour manager for Immortal Angel. She has been a groupie since they were playing in bars in New York. She was the one who got her dad to listen to them and sign them. When she is stuck on the bus, she starts to fall for Jimmy's charisma, but she know he has a reputation with the ladies. As Jimmy starts showing how series he is they run into the biggest obstacle...her father.
Can these two be able to handle what is thrown at them and can Audra father except that Jimmy has truly changed his ways for his daughter?

If you want a good rock star books then need to check out this series
Well, well, well... I am the first to admit I am a book-whore for rock star romances. Whenever I find a book that is rock star, I jump at the chance. This author is new to me and when I stumbled across her series, just reading the blurbs for the books I knew that I had to nab these up. I am so glad that I ran across this author. This series is enticing, intriguing, sexy, intense, and full of angst.
I really liked this book. Sexy, intense, edgy, passionate, and full of naughtiness, get ready for one hell of a ride and tour! Are you a punk rock fan? Do you like angst, steam, and everything over the top? DO you want to lose your inhibitions and live free? This series is for you. It will grab you from the first page and won't let you go until the end. Get ready to swoon, fall in love, and rock out!
This is Audra and Jimmy’s story. Probably my favorite book in this series... we get the promiscuous bad boy Jimmy's story. Jimmy lives a fast life and likes even faster women. He is the epitome of a manwhore and is proud of it except for the one woman who makes his body come to life and she is also totally forbidden. Enter Audra. Totally off limits but that doesn't stop want and lust. Jimmy wants Audra and he is going to prove he is a changed man. Can they face the obstacles that lie ahead? Can Jimmy prove his worth and get the girl? Get ready for one he!! of a bad boy redemption.
This is the 4th book in the series. I rec'd an ARC fro a honest review. Jimmy is the drummer for Immortal Angel, a known man-whore/playboy- a different woman every night, never on time and never caring about anything or anyone until Audra becomes the the bands PR person then tour manager, Audra and her sister Kira have been the bands biggest fans, always front and center for every concert. Audra "the good girl" is off limits to the band, she's the daughter to the bands record label owner/president. This is their story, well written and fast paced, full of twists and surprises and hard to put down, highly addictive read! He's attracted to her, but she won't give him the time of time until he proves himself a changed man, responsible for his actions, on-time, less drinking and no more man-whoring/ playboy/bad boy ways for more than a day or 2!!!! Then will DADDY APPROVE, he knows about his past lifestyle???? Can she tame the WILD Jimmy? Will he change for himself or just for her, can it be long-term??Will he become a one-woman committed man? I love that Jenna Galicki includes the rest of the family in the book ( the other band members and their mates), but the main focus is Jimmy and Audra. I recommend reading the other books in order before this book but can be standalone. For mature readers due to content. Book 1 The Prince of Punk Rock Book 2 Between a Rock and a Hard Place Book 3 Punk Rock Resurrection
Jimmy's life was filled with girls and booze. He was living the rock star life. Audra was the tour manager and she had to sit back and watch the band she idolized for a managers point of view only. Her father has instilled in her that you do not mix business with pleasure, so she sat on the sidelines and watched everyone have their fun. One fateful night Audra was pulled from her fancy limo and thrusted into the tour bus with the band members. After that one night Jimmy vowed to himself to clean up and shed the rock star habits from his life, the girl he has had eyes on for almost a decade is residing with them on the bus for the remainder of tour and he wants to prove to her that he is not the playboy that the tabloids make him out to be. Their relationship has its ups and downs like all relationships do and there is a a road block or 2 that makes Audra question whether or not he is the man for her. But as time goes on those roadblocks cannot damage the love that they have for each other. Jenna does a great job in giving us a character that is living the true rock star life with the booze and women. She also gives Audras character justice by making her strong willed from the beginning and has the reader rooting for their relationship from chapter 1. The book had everything that I would have wanted to read about a famous band and their rise to stardom along with their ups and downs. I am hoping there will be another story in the future about Jimmy and Audra.
Rock Star Redemption is book #4 in the Radical Rock Stars Series, I was lucky enough to be gifted a copy of the book to read for Gemma Reads Too Much.
I’ve read the first book in the series so honestly I had certain expectations when it came to the level of filth in this book.
This series is full of alternative; some might say shocking sexual escapades so this book was unexpectedly vanilla.
Jimmy and Audra are incredibly sweet and generally adorable, but where was all of the rock and roll antics. Where was all of the shocking sex and drugs??
As a follow on from The Prince of Punk Rock I expected tawdry sexcapades, sex toys, BDSM and anything else that Jenna Galicki’s filthy mind could come up with.
Instead I got a very nice, easy read romance which isn’t a problem it just isn’t what I expected to read.
Mason absolutely steals the show and is a total legend!! I wasn’t expecting his characters introduction but he was a brilliant addition to the story.
Honestly I’m a little disappointed that this book wasn’t a total smut ball, Although I found Angel, Tommy and Jessi’s situation a little odd the sex though a bit asshole oriented was filthy and inventive. Jimmy and Audra were definitely more of a make love, rather than fuck couple.
This book was sweet and innocent, but a little too sweet and innocent for my tastes.
in the Radical Rock Stars series this is the story of Jimmy and Audra.... the CRAZY drummer who will sleep with one, two, three women at once if he so desired and the sweet Immortal Angel super never miss a change to hear Angel sing fan, daughter of mega record company... two people who are BEYOND opposite.
With all the other books you knew Jimmy would be the hardest one of the group to find true love, but it turns out he was in love with someone all along he just didn't know he could get her. Knowing that makes his quick to give up all the available women for just one girl more believable, but I kind of wish there were tiny hints of that interest in the other story... that would have been cool... and made this story a little more exciting. It was good but very predictable.... We all knew daddy would not approve, and the band members would be protective of Aubra, knowing Jimmy's reputation. Even the fact that Jimmy had a child he didn't know about was something I saw coming from the very beginning... as well as who the baby mamma was was predictable.
The only thing that surprised me was that Kendell gave up her son so easily, I thought for sure there would be a court case for a LOT of money exchanging hands... that surprised me... other then that...
Even with the story being as predictable it was, it was still a good story... it kind of completed the circle of the band and made them more of a family.... no one left in the cold.

Rock Star Redemption is the forth book in the Radical Rock Stars Series. It is about Jimmy, the bands drummer. Jimmy is living the dream; partying all night with different woman always willing to be his girl even if it's just for one night. Audra is a good girl, she always has been but what will happen when she boards the bus as the bands tour manager? Will Jimmy be able to stick to his rule that she is off limits or will he give in to their obvious chemistry?
This is a great addition to the series. I have fallen head over heals for Jimmy. He was always the bad boy but I think that was just because he hadn't met the right woman. Audra was the perfect match for him. She was innately good and in turn brought out all the best qualities in Jimmy. I loved watching Jimmy transform into a good guy. Jimmy and Audra had off the chart chemistry from the beginning and it only got stronger as their relationship developed. I also loved the addition of Mason and how all of the other characters interacted with him. It was so sweet to see all of the tough rockers' softer sides with a child.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes rock stars and an HEA. Jimmy's story will melt your heart! I cannot wait to read more about the band!

Holy hotness! Jimmy you rock my world! Converse sneakers jeans and a T shirt..now that's my kind of man! Flirty exterior but a soft and gentle man on the inside. He is an amazing man from top to bottom, totally swoon worthy. Audra Abelman what a woman! I see myself in her in many ways. When I'm challenged I don't back down at all and she is the same and once we see a goal we strive to reach it. Being an heiress to the record label could seem like it's burden but she takes it in strides and loves her job. What would you do if you had the chance to work with your ultimate favorite band? Hell I'd jump at the opportunity that's for sure. This series has soo far been one to remember. My favorites being the last two books, these characters will be with me til the end! I anxiously await more from Jenna.
Sorry this is late crystal! I read as fast as my little eyes would go. I'll be in a reading to frenzy to catch up on the ones I'm behind on but I will get the reviews to you for the others in a few days for sure. By the way I can't wait for the next 2 books!
