I'm tired of the pressure, the expectations, the fakeness of it all.
I'm ready to figure life out on my terms. Amber All I want is to become the world's greatest rock star but instead, my band decides to do something imaginable... they kick me out of the band. With no money and no way to follow them on tour, I have to do something completely crazy... I have to trust a stranger named Gabe. Just Gabe. No last name.
He's cocky, athletic, insanely handsome, and totally not my type. After all, jocks don't date rocker girls like me. Tattoos and ripped tights don't blend well with snobby buff dudes. But there's something more to him, something secret... he's moody and mysterious, and I want to figure out what he's hiding.
This novel has lots of flirty banter and steamy scenes. Intended for adult readers only.

I really liked this story. I wish some of Gabe’s back story had been in the hockey book. I almost didn’t read this one because he was made out to be so weak in the other book. Knowing the backstory now yeah that makes sense. I thought it was a light and fun read.
Gabriel and Amber have quite the chemistry between them and I thought that they were adorable together. It was good to see that Chase actually had more substance to him than I originally thought from the other books. This story was entertaining and fun to read.
I received a free advanced review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a fair and honest review.
