There goes my heart—to the green-eyed sultry lead singer of the world’s hottest boy band—Leo Orlov. But I swear that’s not how he introduced himself when we drunkenly kissed on the dance floor. Being young, free, and unemployed would do that to you. I let myself go a bit too far when a handsome stranger pulled me away from the crowd. He took me in his arms and made me feel like Cinderella. But as the fairytale goes, the clock struck midnight, and I never expected to see my club-night Adonis again. That was until I got the job I’d been pining over for months. Social media manager for a major record company. And guess who would walk in the door on my first day on the job?The four boys who would become my world—one of them—my destiny. Drop-dead gorgeous, all-American heartthrobs, the boy band Halos made a name for themselves touring across the country with me as their photographer. I captured every moment of their rise to the top. All the success, all the failure. All the good, bad, ugly, and worse. When my feelings toward Leo get stronger, he tells me I just might be the one. Too bad international earth-shattering, fangirl-inducing, panty-dropping fame might ruin it all.Would Leo really choose me over everything he’s built? Or will the chance at real love take a backstage pass?
What teenage girl hasn’t had romantic thoughts of a rockstar, especially one who is exceedingly handsome? Well…
Aria had no money left, wasn’t able to find a job, and her bills and rent were due. She was on the brink of homelessness. In desperation, she applied for a job in a Market Talent Agency and was offered a job as a media specialist to hype an unknown boy band. She saw the job as an opportunity to travel on tour with the band, post pictures and write a lot about them on social media, and bring this unknown band into astronomical fame. Each city stop was a bigger and bigger audience and brought more and more fame!
Leo, the lead singer of the band, was a gorgeous hunk who had all the girls swooning, including Aria. They started spending more time in secret locations because Aria was warned to “stay away from the boys” meaning the four members of the band with whom she was traveling.

Leo Orlov was prepared to go to a tryout at this particular hotel one night and he even left his job, but by the time he got there the tryouts were over. He just took out his guitar and started singing on the sidewalk in front of the hotel and people were giving him money in his case but by the time he was finished he looked around and he had a crowd. Everyone left and when he looked around there was this older lady left. The lady, Priscilla Young, said that she would make him a Star but he had to do what she said. She was the up and company producer for One Tree Studio, OTS. She eventually hired three other band mates to sing with him, Tristan Blake, Raymond Marshall and Connor Tadhg. There manager was Davie Mack and they had the backup band and they were named the HALOS, "The Angels of NYC". They did all she asked them to do for 5 years and now they were getting ready for there debut on the Rock Scene. So this is the story of Aria and Leo and the rest of the cast of people. Aria was hired by Davie Mack to become their Social Media Manager and get them followers. It was a good story. You should read it and see what becomes of the relationship between Leo and Aria and how it began and if it lasted. Good Read.
Aria is fixing to start her new job as a social media manager and her friend Karlee wants them to go out one last time since she knows she won’t see her best friend once she starts her new job. When they arrive at a club, they get lucky enough to have 2 hot guys help them to get in faster & so in return they join them for a drink. When Karlee and one of the guys hits it off it leaves Aria with his friend Leo. After sharing a heated moment Karlee interrupts them saying they need to leave and pulls Aria out of the club without getting a chance to find out who the guy was. When she arrives on Monday at her new job, she is floored to see the hot guy she had meet over the weekend, and to top it off she learns that she will be traveling with him and his bandmates while they start the tour of a life time. Will Aria & Leo pursue their relationship even though they know it’s against all the rules? I really enjoyed this storyline and the characters you can’t help but root for Leo and Aria. Just the right amount of drama and loved his sweet Leo and how he feels hard for Aria. Aria was sweet and shy but loved the role she has in the story. The ending was good but I wonder if there is going to be more to this story? Well, done Allie. These are my honest thoughts and opinions and I’m gladly leaving my voluntary review after receiving an arc copy of this book.

This is a great book with a lot of twists and turn. It portrays stardom from the beginning and how the artist can feel pressure to do whatever they are advised to do eve of it goes against there better judgement. This is especially so when they are just in the beginning of there carries. They do t think they have any control or right to say no to the people that are managing them. This is because they feel the pressure of everyone and everything around them and they have to learn that there own morals and feeling have to be taken into consideration the entire time. If they cannot say know then it is not the correct situation and they need to get out.
They also have to remember who there friends and family are and always talk to the people closest to them to help themselves when they start feeling lost and alone. If they don’t talk to them it will also hurt those people around them as well. Open communication is always key and when someone wants you to fake it don’t do it. That is always wrong. You always need to be true to yourself and everyone around you.
When you are a person bloc figure you must always be honest as true I others those people that helped you to get to where you are and where you want to go.

This is a great story to read about rock star bands. It is a refreshing story-line with the right balance of chemistry between these 2 wonderful characters. The other characters are interesting enough also, with their own stories to tell perhaps? I am looking forward to continuing to read Allie Hayden's novels as this was novel was my introductory (first) novel I've chosen to read & I like her style of capturing my attention from the beginning & the need I had in wanting to finishing reading their story. Follow their love story as Halo rises to stardom. Well-worth reading this one!

What will happen to their romance when their secret is leaked? This is a well written story which is filled with drama, twists, emotions, secrets, and love, which all leads to an entertaining and all-consuming page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Aria was broke and nearly homeless she has 30 days to get the rent so with no job and no relationship it was time to get moving off the couch and get a job. Leo wants to be a rockstar he was living in his car working in a hotel waiting tables then he made floor manager he still had his dream so when he heard about an audition for a lead singer he went but he was too late so he just took out his guitar and started playing luckily for Leo a woman named Priscilla watched him and she asked Leo if he wanted to make millions. Fate brings these two together it’s not going to be easy but then love and life is never easy. This is my absolute favourite genre rockstars, bands etc this is a fantastic story I loved it and the characters and I highly recommend this book it’s well worth the read.
One Night To Forever - Aria’s night on the town to celebrate her new job, led her to meet a gorgeous hunk, but she had to leave before anything could develop. When Leo’s did his good deed when he met Aria, he didn’t realise it was the beginning of their journey filled with secrets, subterfuge and pain on their way to a happy life.
The story is filled with an abundance of emotional moments, heated sexual encounters, drama and romance. This story has everything you would want to see in a romance novel; from the storyline to the characters, which made it difficult for me to put it down, once I started reading.

Aria is pretty close to being homeless when she wins a social media specialist role with a music company. Leo has worked for 5 years to be an overnight success in a boyband. As lead singer he is the one all eyes are on. Leo is attracted to Aria but they have to be careful!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this engaging, entertaining, immersing, and compelling story. I was immediately hooked into the story! I loved the descriptions of the band. music industry, and how the relationship between them develops slowly and steadily throughout the story. The relationship between them has many twists, turns and obstacles. Told from dual POVs reveals intimately their thoughts, feelings, and emotions as they explore their relationship. There's an HEA 💓
Aria knows her stuff, she just needs one break. So, when she’s offered the position of Social Media Manager (SMM) for Halos, an up-and-coming Boy Band, she takes it. What she doesn’t expect is that one of the members of the band was the sexy guy she met in a club. Is there something there? And why does the company president keep warning her off of the boys in the band?
Leo has always wanted to perform. When he’s noticed by the president of a recording company, he jumps at the opportunity, even though he’s part of a Boy Band and not solo. When he meets their SMM, he’s shocked. What were the chances of seeing the girl he met in a club ever again? And why does the company president keep warning him off of her?
Leo wants to be a rock star so bad. One day he is discovered and three others are also brought in. They were groomed for years to prepare for their launch into stardom. A new boy band called "The Halos". They needed a person to handle their social media. That is how Aria gets her in and does a darn good job. Leo and Aria had met before. Leo really likes Aria and she also likes him. The band really makes it big, a new sensation. Sold out venues while on their first tour. The social media presence is through the roof. Leo and Aria see each other secretly but there is a bump in the road they didn't see coming. Will the band make it? Will Leo and Aria survive? Such a very nice ending.
Leo and Aria found they had to have thick skin in order to survive the music industry and the underhanded games played by the label execs - their only concern was squeezing every bit of profit they could from Halos. Leo may have fallen prey to Priscilla's trap but his integrity shined when it mattered. There were moments of romance and a little steam along with tempers flaring and other drama, but these all worked together to make this story interesting. Potty language was sprinkled in here and there. I'm waiting to see what happens next because the story just can't end the way it did. What's next for Raymond, Connor and Tristan???

I really enjoyed reading, Backstage Pass by Allie Hayden because it was such a great story about Aria and Leo. Aria and Leo's chemistry was off the charts. It started off slowly. Each chapter was told in Aria's or Leo's point of view. I was rooting for Leo and Aria to be together, but there was a complication in the way of their boss. This story was so good and I would highly recommend reading this. It was my first time reading from this author. I liked her style of writing. This was a great story to read.

To celebrate Aria and her friend went out to a club where she met a handsome stranger to whom she was instantly attracted, the feeling appeared to be mutual but she left before getting his name......
The band's sexy lead singer Leo and Aria start meeting in secret, but then something happens which could ruin their budding relationship!
Backstage Pass By Allie Hayden Main Characters: Leo and Aria I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author. 4 out of 5 stars Aria is a social media manager and Leo is the lead singer of a new boys band. To me, this book was more about the makings of a boy band and the inside seamier things that go on. These two have feelings for each other but the owner who discovered Leo said no fraternizing between the two would be accepted. Priscilla is a hateful character in all this. The ending left me wanting something a little more definitive for Leo and Aria and I would rather have seen a little more romance.
I liked the back and forth between Aria and Leo. I liked getting to know the characters intimately and learning their quirks. There were some grammatical errors however the meaning was understood. It was a very well written story that left the reader feeling good about the outcome. However I am confused about Aria’s true eye color. Grey to brown to deep hazel. And Leo’s hair was brown then auburn. So consistency needed addressed. But other than those errors it was a good read.
Aria is a very smart and beautiful woman who gets a great job opportunity. Leo is an up n coming singer, unfortunately in a boy band, as he wanted to be solo. The president has a weird fixation on Leo and keeps warning the two to stay away from each other? What you may or might not know about show biz is it’s not all what you think. There is a nasty side to things as Aria quickly finds out. Heartfelt story but who if any get a happy ending?

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Aria and Leo and does not let go. Leo and Aria had met before either of them realized that she was a new employee that was tasked with following the band and getting everything on social media. However, as Leo and Aria grow closer, some people are not happy with the relationship.

Aria is about to start a new job as a social media guru for an up and coming boy band. Aria and her best friend went out to celebrate. When she met a handsome stranger at the club and there was an instant attraction , Aria never got his name before she left. This was a great story. Loved the inside look into the music world.

This was such a good read. It took a few chapters for it to draw me in but once it did I couldn't put it down. Aria is off on a new job after freelancing for a while. She's gonna get to tour with a up and coming band. Leo is the lead of this band and his dream is to go solo. The tour takes off like a rocket and dreams start to come true for both aria and Leo. However when a scheme is in place to draw in a bigger crowd things get crazy and a scandal could ruin everything.
This was a couple of great characters in Leo and Aria. An update and coming music star and the social media lady who is hired to make them big. Both looking for a big step in their careers. Yet the price of fame and the sacrifice it can lead makes this relationship face more than one would think but I am sure happens all the time. Entertaining read

Reading this book has taught me something about myself. As I devour rockstar romances on a regular basis, I've found that popstar stories aren't the same. This wasn't a bad story and i have previously loved Allie's book but I think this one read more of a teen diary then what I'm used to. If boy bands are your lane then you will adore these two. Just wished for more heat between them. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Every teenage girls dreams of getting a backstage pass. In this story Aria may not be a teenager and the boy band she ends up working for may not really be boys but the thrill is still the same. This is a forbidden romance between the lead singer in a band, Leo, and the young woman who is hired as their social media manager.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Yay, my favorite author is back. This is the story about Leo and Aria. I absolutely loved the first person point of view of this story this is always a deal breaker for me. I love this author's books. Every time I pick up a book from her I just know, I'm in it for a treat. Nobody writes stories about rockers better than Allie. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would

Loved the chemistry... The story has been covered by previous reviewers so I won't dwell on that. Enjoyed the characters except for manipulative self serving Priscilla. The main characters were struggling to make ends meet but were beyond talented. She had a skill set the boy band needed, he was the lead singer. They were like star crossed lovers, could they have a chance at a hea? I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
I loved this book from the start to the finish. Funny finish for me though. The story flowed from the start to the finish. All the characters worked so well together and I had a fantastic connection with them all as well. I never found any spelling mistakes or any holes in the plot of the story. I can truly recommend this book to others, but the age has to be over 18+
