True Platinum #3
Enticing Mel
What happens when your past catches up with your present? I’m not sure I want to know.
Five years ago, my childhood sweetheart left me with more than a broken heart as his band rose to stardom. I’ve tried to move on and build a life without him.
I should’ve known the peace wouldn’t last. Eventually, his band would come home, and I’d be forced to face the dreamy bassist who still owns my heart. But I’ve been hiding something and my secret is about to be revealed.
As much as I don’t want his flaky lifestyle impacting my daughter — our daughter — I can’t lie anymore. Dan still makes my heart flutter and steals my breath.
He’s sure we can pick up where we left off now that he’s not touring. But I’m not the carefree girl anymore, and I’m not sure I can let him in again, not when someone else’s heart is on the line.
Will I listen when my head says no? Or will he be able to entice my heart once more?
Enticing Mel is a steamy rock star romance. It’s the third book following the Rhiannon men and the third in the True Platinum Series. Can be read as a standalone.
If you love obsessed rock stars and childhood sweethearts getting a second chance with a secret baby keeping the heroine on her toes, then Enticing Mel is for you.

9 chapters in and this absolutely garbage man hasn't once apologized for ghosting his girlfriend and treating her like a rest stop on a road trip. Holy fucking shit this guy is the absolute worst human. Who the fuck rocks up after 5 years of SILENCE and thinks "yeah, my girlfriend is gonna be so happy to see me!" NO ONE IS THAT STUPID. And then when she says dude, you showed up once in a blue moon for a booty call and then ghosted me he has the audacity to be like "What?? we are in love and happily together! Sure I never texted or called or told you when I was coming or going but thats a YOU problem."
Don't even get me started on the "Well if you had told me you were pregnant I would have shown up more" Like ?????? So the supposed love of your life wasnt enough for you to text her once in a while? Or keep her updated on when you would come back/leave? Or even warn her you were leaving??? He literally treats her like a toy. And she is SO PATHETIC. Bitch you have a kid?????? PROTECT HER, dragging a 4 year old to a rock concert after bedtime so that her deadbeat numpty dad could play pretend???? The literal worst mom ever.
And no self respect! "I just couldn't resist his kiss!" FUCKING EW HE LITERALLY GHOSTED YOU LIKE 8 TIMES, GROW A SPINE.
What is with these 5 star reviews????
Are you all okay???? This is not a love story, this is an abusive, gaslighting jerk taking advantage of a really pathetic girl.

*Note: this is book 3 in the True Platinum series but can be read as a standalone. I have not read any of the other books, but had no issue reading this installment!*
A second chance rockstar romance with a surprise pregnancy to kick start it all off?!
This honestly surprised the heck out of me.
From the cover and title alone, I was only expecting a sexy and steamy read, but you actually get SO much more than that! There were tender and realistic moments in this that brought literal tears to my eyes.
Straight off the bat, I was wholeheartedly rooting for Mel. She'd been involved with rockstar Dan for over a decade. A rockstar who comes in and out of her life because he prioritizes his career over everything. One unprotected romp with him later, Mel's pregnant and can't even break the news to the father because he's too preoccupied to take her call. It's one thing for her to get blown off, but she doesn't want that kind of disappointment for her kid so she decides to have her child on her own. And that's just in the prologue.
The main story takes place four years later when Dan and his band relocate home. Dan is oblivious about his child and clueless as to why Mel keeps him at arm's length. Regardless of the constant rejection, he's determined to win her back.
We then get to witness Mel and Dan rekindle their relationship and rebuild the trust that was shattered years ago. I loved Mel's independence, strength, and vulnerability. I 100% supported her decisions throughout the book, though I was a little surprised at how quickly she gave in to Dan. With that kind of history and attraction though, who can blame her. Her reactions, considering how jaded she is from her relationship with Dan and witnessing her parents' dynamic growing up, are very human and understandable.
Dan was quite charming and his antics on getting Mel back were commendable, not to mention the things he does to her in bed-or any surface they can get it on on-hot af. However I didn't really feel a connection with him, maybe it's because this was solely written in Mel's POV?
Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed Mel and Dan's story; their relationship isn't perfect but they're trying.
4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.

DNF @ 26%
This is one of the first books that I’ve had to DNF because I just couldn’t get myself to keep reading, and getting angrier the longer I read. Usually I would try to push through and end up skimming the last of it but I can’t stand the two mcs. He is nothing more than a narcissist who thinks that people can read his mind and just fly in and out of her life and she will just wait for him. And then when she says no and needs space, he doesn’t respect that at all. Not to mention that she rolls over at the slightest touch from him.
I stopped right after he meets their daughter for the first time and the first thing he does is blatantly disagree with her mom and puts the blame entirely on her. That’s not how the first time meeting your kid goes, especially when you’ve been off living your life without another care in the world as to what your supposed “girl friend” has been doing the last 5 years of her life without bothering to reach out or to find her. If she was really that important to you, when you stopped being able to get in touch with her, you should have been worried about why she was ghosting you and probably should have figured out what happened to her rather than continuing to put all of your focus in your music.

This was the book I was most looking forward to in this series, and IT WAS WONDERFUL.
This second chance romance was exactly what I needed, and Morgana brought some good GOOD to the table!
Mel is a single mom, but one who may or may not have withheld some important information from her former childhood sweetheart, Dan… who happens to be a rockstar in an up and coming band. The story focuses on what happens when the band, Rhiannon, comes back to her home down, and when Dan realizes that he has a daughter.
I loved the story and I was so excited to see how everything would develop. This series is 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼. Also, I love strong girl groups and this definitely has that, with awesome side characters!

This one had me by the heartstrings and would not let go.
Mel is one of the best single parent depictions that I've read so far. She's fiercely protective of her family and puts her daughter above all else. When she's confronted with the secret that could blow up her life and the lives of those around her she doesn't shy away from the issues instead choosing to face them head on. I loved how much she stood on her beliefs, the belief that she was owed more from life and wouldn't settle no matter what someone else tried to tell her. It was honestly beautiful and touching in a way I don't think I've read in a single parent romance so far.
Dan, oh poor idiotic Dan. Oh did he frustrate the hell out of me. She told you what the issue was, told you exactly what it was and you still couldn't get it through your thick skull no matter how many times she repeated herself. Shame on you sir. But oh the redemption, he was determined to see whatever this was through and even when Mel was throwing wrenches and hand grenades he stood his ground and figured out what he needed to do and what exactly was important.
Truly a touching story about second chance love and the ties that bind us. It made me really appreciate my own kid and gave me the opportunity to reminiscence on her childhood. If single mom's finding their one is your jam, this is definitely right up the right alley. 10/10 would recommend over and over again.

Dan Lloyd was a rock god who rocked Mel's world for years, slipping in and out of her life in a variety of ways. Dan has returned to Cardiff after a five-year absence. Mel is afraid of running into him because she has a big secret and she is uncertain of his reaction.
Mel was used to being second best growing up with a musician father who prioritised music, his career, his band, and life on the road over her and her family.
What would Mel do when she is confronted with the most challenging chat she has ever had? Will Dan run the other way, or will he embrace the life altering change?
This was an excellent read for me. The book took me on an emotional roller-coaster, caught my attention from the first chapter, and the author created a believable and credible story, as she does with every book in the True Platinum series.
The characters were realistic, each with their own set of ideals, viewpoints, and dialogue that suited their personality.
I thoroughly enjoy reading any of Morgana Bevan's books because they are memorable, interesting, and very entertaining.
A definite must read. I recommend that you add to your TBR list today.

Mel has been in love with her childhood sweetheart Dan for a long time. But when his band takes off, she decides she's better off raising her daughter alone. But what happe s when he comes back and wants to be part of their life? Can she let him?
Right off the bat, I loved Mel and wanted to see her and her daughter happy. Mel is like a lot of women who want to make their love lives work, but things get in the way out of their control. She did all she could with Dan and it wasn't enough to start, and that was the most relatable thing I've read in a while.
I am not a fan of secret baby romances, and while this one was well written, I didn't get as interested in the story as I could have been. I also didn't care for Dan's character or the way things happened between them. It just didn't make sense for me.

Received this e-ARC from NetGalley.
Mel is the MC in this story, it starts off with her finding out she’s pregnant with a long time on and off again beau, Dan, who puts his music and his band before her at every turn.
She decides she’s better off raising their child alone than having Dan put things before both of their needs. Four and some change years later, she reconnects with Dan but doesn’t want anything from him.
Will they reconnect? Will she let him back in?
This is an easy romance read, would definitely recommend as an in between longer book read.

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for an arc for my honest opinion. This was the first book that I have read by Morgana Bevan and all I can think is WOW, I loved the characters' interactions and problems that seem real and relatable. It's an easy romance read that I couldn't put down. I would definitely recommend it.

2.5 stars
I found it a bit ridiculous that the FMC hated the thought of life with a musician, with the tours and time away from home. She wanted him to choose her first and be willing to give up his dream to be with her. She knew he was a musician when they got together. Three times. I don't see what she expected him to do. It is literally his job, and contracts make certain requirements of him. It just seemed very contrived of the author to create drama and a bit immature/unrealistic of the FMC.

Finally! Finally we get to see the Mel and Dan dilemma work itself out! Gah! Phoebe is what I would expect my daughter to be like if I ever had one. I also love the support Mel has and how strong and independent she is. Since this is from Mel��s viewpoint we don’t get much insight into Dan’s thoughts but overall he is a standup guy. There are a few smack your head moments but also swoon-worthy scenes and plenty of seggsy moments along the way. Who could resist a rock star? Ends with an epilogue and a HEA obviously.

Oh, Dan Lloyd. After being gone for five years, the rockstar finally comes back to Cardiff and is hoping that he can rekindle the connection he used to have with his ex Mel. Unfortunately for him, she wants ZERO to do with him and is wishing he stayed away. Can he make amends and figure out how to keep Mel in his life?
Morgana Bevan tells a fantastic story about finding the right person at the wrong time and having the courage to let that someone go. I love Mel's resilience and independence. Even after having her heart broken, she fortifies herself to face a brand new chapter of her life: being a surprise mom and making sure her child is loved.
I really enjoyed the groveling phase of Dan's redemption arc, especially since some of it entailed lots and lots of spice. It was hard to connect with him at first, but just like he eventually charms Mel, he also endeared himself to us readers.
This is the third book in Bevan's True Platinum series, but it can be read as a standalone. BUT if you are a fan of rockstar romance, this series is a must-pick.

I think I’m gonna need a break from second chance romances after this book. The FMC is really likeable and relatable up until like the last couple chapters of the book then she becomes a complete doormat and for some reason forgets all her reasonings and convictions. I tried really hard to like the love interest/MMC but he just couldn’t redeem himself from his past actions and similar to the FMC in the last chapters he got worse. There entire relationship felt rushed and unbelievable. The chemistry was kinda there but I just never believed they actually would have a healthy happy relationship. From start to finish it felt like the FMC was ending up with an unreliable, neglectful, and kinda gaslight-y partner which made it really hard to want them to end up together.
Two hugely frustrating things: One the love interest never listens to FMC and never actually proves himself. Two the FMC ends up putting her daughter into the same emotionally traumatizing situation she grew up in and was trying to avoid. Which means both characters suck, their relationship sucks, and the “happy” ending feels upsetting.
Little thing if you are gonna have the love interest prove themself and show that they’ve changed. Don’t have them fail at the first hurdle. And don’t have the side characters be the one to fix the problem.

Quick Summary: Enticing Mel by Morgana Bevan was something else!
My Review: Love and Rock & Roll stories will always be winners in this reader's eyes. This romance was all aces, in that respect. The chemistry that existed between D and M was incredible. I don't think they could have ever stayed away from each other. Their ups and downs were understandable. Their desire to be together was worth the fight. The timing of celebrity and their inevitable reunion was tense. The emotional arc was palpable. It all worked.
On a side note, Jared completely intrigued me. Seriously!!! There seemed to be more to him, and I was here for it. E and J had sparks. I cannot wait to see what their story reveals. Bring it on!
Love and rock & roll...yes!

When rockstar Dan left Mel, his childhood sweetheart, to go on tour, he left her with more than a broken heart. Now it’s five years later, and Dan has discovered that Mel has been keeping a secret from him - an adorable little toddler who just so happens to be his daughter. Dan is determined to never let them go, but Mel has doubts about their relationship and his commitment. Can he win over the love of his life as easily as he won over their daughter?
This was a super emotional and incredibly angsty novel, but that doesn’t take away from how good it was. Actually, I think it just enhanced the fact! Mel and Dan’s relationship was utterly complex and wonderfully written. I loved how kind and caring he was towards his daughter, and how determined he was to get Mel back. As for Mel, she has a lot of resentment, but I was really happy when she worked through it! All in all, if you love second chance, single parent, or rockstar romances, then this is the one for you!

Bevan introduced me to rockstar romance, and she has not failed me ONCE.! She manages to hook you from the first page, and has you turning the pages at a fast pace to get more and more of the characters between them.
She upped her steam level in Enticing Mel by making Dan one of the hottest rockstars/baby-daddy's EVER. I fell in love with the gentle, bearded, guitar-playing giant the moment he was introduced and I couldn't wait for his story with Mel.
The moments between him and little Phoebe are the kind that will make your ovaries explode, and then he proceeds to be irresistible in his scenes with Mel...so be prepared to swoon, melt and disintegrate into a Dan-loving-puddle.!
I'm looking forward to the next one - Defying Ella - and the story of the dark and broody drummer, Jared.

The moments between him and little Phoebe are the kind that will make your ovaries explode, and then he proceeds to be irresistible in his scenes with Mel...so be prepared to swoon, melt and disintegrate into a Dan-loving-puddle.!
I'm looking forward to the next one - Defying Ella - and the story of the dark and broody drummer, Jared.

Thank you to Morgana Bevan for sending me a copy of this book to read and review! This is the third book in the True Platinum series and I really enjoyed this installment. Mel and Dan are both such strong characters and I think their journeys could be quite realistic in the parenting world. I did think Mel was almost heartbreakingly stubborn, but ultimately her character development and trust showed through and she definitely got her happy ending. Like the other two books Enticing Mel was full of spice which I loved. The cameos from the other books are always super fun to see as well. I'm looking forward to continuing the series and I'm fully invested in these characters and their stories now.

Enticing Mel was not what I expected. I had images of this book being an erotic romance because of the cover. Instead, I got a real look at what it must be like to love a rockstar. The glimpse into the worry and choices made seemed realistic and it was interesting to see how Mel and Dan handled the choices in their relationship. I enjoyed that Dan was all in and so dedicated to getting Mel back. He really hurt her at the beginning of their relationship and everything he did to win her back was awesome. I am glad I had the opportunity to read this book because it fulfilled the need for a man who knew what he wanted and did everything he could to win the woman he loved.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for making it possible for me to read this book. Opinions are all mine!

Been waiting for this story for awhile - finally it's here, and it was so so good.
I felt bad for Dan, finding out the way he did - but totally understood Mel's reasoning.
They make such a cute pair - and the love is still so strong, after all these years. Mel's fears were realized by Dan, but no matter how much he reassured her, there was still tension; but thankfully they're gonna try to make things work.
I'd love a book, 10-15 years down the road, to see how the band and all the ladies and children made out - and the trouble the kids can get into to!!!
Keep writing Morgana, I'm loving your books!!!

I was most excited to read about this couple and man I was emotional. I don’t know how many parts I was crying along to. Mel and Dan were together for over 10yrs when she was just come and go in her life due to his band but that all stopped when she got pregnant and didn’t want a kid in that life well now 4 years later and she needs to decide what’s going to happen next. There is a HEA and I’m now excited to read Ella’s story but we have to wait until September ☹️ lol

Mel and Dan!! This book made me so emotional!! I was so in love with these characters I couldn’t get enough..the struggle was real for Mel and as much as I wanted to be upset at her initial reaction to Dan. I also understood. There was so much growth between the two ..even when the worse presented itself they were able to work through it. HEA! For the win!! I enjoy each couple in this series and I can’t wait for more.

I've been waiting for Mel and Dan's story for awhile as rock stars AND second chance romances are two of my favourite tropes and it was so so good.
I absolutely loved how Dan stepped up and was there for Mel and their baby girl and how he stood up against his mother to protect them.
I've read this series from Book 1 and as each book comes out and love more than the previous one! Having that said, I cannot wait for Jared and Ella's story!!

I just don't understand why nobody understood her point of view and portrayed her anger or mistrust as unfair and kind of crazy

that being said though, this was an enjoyable read that I devoured in a couple of hours! second chance romances are extremely underrated imo, and 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐥 approached the trope well🥰
𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐛𝐞, 𝐌𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐧'𝐬 daughter is the cutest, patootiest and most feisty four year old I've read about — she's adorable, and I like that her character wasn't conveniently forgotten lol😆
𝐌𝐞𝐥 was an interesting female protagonist to read about for sure. the fact that her past experiences affected her relationship with 𝐃𝐚𝐧 so much made sense, but also called for a bit of angst, which was great. 𝐃𝐚𝐧 on the other hand was the sweetest dad, and his relationship with 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐛𝐞 is exactly the kind I'd want my future kids to have with their dad someday🥺
to be honest, I didn't feel very strongly about the couple, or 𝐃𝐚𝐧 as a partner, which also didn't make the steam all that special for me. I think both of the characters played really stupid at some points, but 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐚'𝐬 writing had me invested enough! I'll definitely be reading more of her books in the future, and will probably also go back and read the first two books in the series seeing how easy to read this one was.

Rock Romance
This is another installment in the True Platinum series and for me it was another five-star read. Dan and Mel’s story is a second chance romance that was a real page turner for me. I loved their story and was rooting for them throughout. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

It’s a good read
Kinda didn’t like how they never address how she felt about the fact that he would have stayed because of phoebe but not her.
Which they was atleast be or two chapters in his pov.
I wanted to read about his angst 😂😂

This book makes me seriously question why I can’t DNF
I tried to like it. I like the concept but holy crap not a single damn character was enjoyable for me. Sorry to the author I’m sure some people have like it, probably don’t read the rest of my review because I feel bad if you really worked on this. The FMC literally put up no fight for her or her daughter when a man that treats her like a cast off and gaslights her into thinking that if he still thought about her it’s okay that she was a booty call and he will every-time pick his career over her. Her best friends also allow men to mistreat them and then judge her for not just opening her arms back immediately when he happens to return, which she does after a very short period of pity party he won’t choose me and I have to protect my daughter from the same heartbreak. Well she not only allows him back, he chooses his career the first chance he gets and she still chooses him! Her mom is an abusive manipulator that uses the fact she had an absent husband who chose his career as a way to squash any idea her daughter has for standing up for herself. The daughter is 4 years old and literally accepts and demands him to be in her life upon meeting him. Even “understanding” that daddy had to do a live show instead of coming to her birthday. To me this feels written by a man frankly, I mean that as the stereotypical male author not a quality one.
I read near a book a day. This one had the most annoying characters for me personally in years of reading. The silver lining is my inability to DNF this book is actually making me work on myself so I can in the future. I don’t care how uncomfortable it makes me, it can’t be as bad as how angry these characters made me feel.

Mel and Dan dated when they were teenagers, but he put his flourishing career as a rockstar above their relationship. After being let down one too many times, when Mel discovers she’s pregnant, she feels she has no choice but to go it alone. But now their daughter is four, and Dan’s band has returned to Wales. Dan is determined to pick up their relationship where it left off, but he has no idea about Mel’s secret, and she’s not sure how to tell him - especially as his band is on the cusp of stardom, and their past has taught her he can’t be trusted to put her first.
I enjoyed reading this, I think more so than the other book in this series I’ve read, Winning Nia. It’s a gentle but entertaining read. Morgana Bevan is a very engaging writer, and I found this book hard to put down once I started it. I just wanted to know how and if Mel and Dan would overcome their problems to form a solid relationship, and for the most part, I enjoyed how this played out.
Mel was a good character - I liked her resourcefulness and determination. Dan was harder for me to warm to. I have to say, I found him quite as annoying - not as annoying as I found James in his book, but I did find him quite entitled and it was frustrating how long it took him to see the damage his past behaviour had done to Mel. That said, I did warm to him as the book went on. There was a lot of focus on him actually working to develop a relationship with his daughter, and Mel, that was quite endearing; I liked that he did actually put the work in. This wasn’t a big grovel kind of book - the effort was gentler and more considered, and I thought it worked really well.
I will say, though, that the central conflict between Mel and Dan was very repetitive from the previous novel, Winning Nia. The way they broke up was almost identical, as was Dan’s almost wilfully-ignorant pursuit of Mel in light of how he treated her as a teenager. This even played out in the way their issues came to a head - their final argument was very similar, in my opinion, to Nia and James’ argument. I enjoyed how this played out more, but did find certain aspects of the story very similar.
Overall, though, it was a good book. The writing is very strong and the plotting is well-paced, and I’m very impressed with the author for making me care about this relationship despite my issues with Dan as a hero. I would happily read another book in this series - the first one is on my TBR and I’ll be keeping an eye out for the next instalments. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book.
Content Notes: Secret baby, second chance, rockstar.

Enticing Mel, A Rock Star Romance / True Platinum Series Book 3, Morgana Bevan
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: Romance, General fiction ( Adult)
I was really intrigued by the Mel/Dan conundrum in the last book so excited to read this. I found the same issues for me personally as in the last book, a bit light on drama, lots of potential but its pretty much over before it starts.
Dan was a flake, did he really just expect her to wait around like a good little girl for when he was ready? Its taken a long while for that to happen, and he just seems surprised that now he's ready she's not jumping for joy!
Mel, I so felt for her, but she's done a great job with Phoebe, and of course its not just her Dan's decisions affect, so she needs to be cautious. Phoebe was a star, a little advanced for a four year old but a real sweetheart. I like that Mel has never hidden who her daddy is, always been open and never bad mouthed him. I did feel Mel over-reacted but given Dan's past actions in a way it was understandable.
I did wonder was Dan really so self absorbed that he didn't try to find out why she cut him off, made a bit more effort? But then we wouldn't have this story so ;-) It seems like he'd just decided it was a good thing, he could get on with fame and fortune and when he came back she'd welcome him with open arms ( and legs....) I did wonder if he'd gone the rock star route, taking advantage of all the free sex it offered or if he'd stayed true to Mel. Whether he still regarded them as together but just apart by distance, or whether he saw it as a temporary break that left them free to do as they wanted.
Its a fun read, real situations and very likable characters, even when I found them frustrating, over reactive, not reactive enough! For me though its lacking the essential drama I need from a book like this, that's on me, others rightly love it. Not all books suit all readers. I enjoyed this but wouldn't re-read and don't think I'll continue with this series if there are more.
Stars: three, an easy read but light on drama for me.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write a honest review for.
Bevan is a new author for me but after reading this fabulous second chance rockstar romance I will be reading some of her other books. While this one is part of series each book can be read as a standalone though I imagine it will be so much more fun if I go back and read the others. Cameos are always a bonus that lets me feel connected to past characters that I may have enjoyed. For this one we meet Melanie who life changed the minute she saw the lines on the pregnancy test showing a surprise was on it's way. Her musician boyfriend Daniel is just starting his music career with his band so she decides to not tell at the time making it a little easier for him to leave. This secret is not really a problem until five years later when the band returns home for some R&R after touring. The secret must come out leading to some interesting interactions as they find their way back to one another. This makes for a moving emotional roller coaster as it gets going hooking the reader as it all plays out making for quite the fabulous read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
