Lead by Kylie Scott

My Rating (out of 5 stars):

5—I think it’s amazing!

Amazon Description:

“As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it—now he’s caught up in a life of hard partying and fast women. When a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant hired to keep him out of trouble.

Lena's not willing to take any crap from her sexy boss and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far, he just might lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Can he convince his stubborn assistant to risk it all and let her heart take the lead?”

My Thoughts:

This is the third book in the Stage Dive series and my personal favorite. I read this book in one evening! Then I reread it before the fourth book was released…and then I reread it again by the pool on my recent vacation!

Scott has a talent for creating realistic characters and genuine emotion. I loved Lena and Jimmy together. I loved the intensity, but also the witty humor.

Who Should Read?:

All my romance reader friends! First in this series is “Lick.”

4 stars—I really liked it!

Amazon Description:

“Mal Ericson, drummer for the world famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast-at least for a little while. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job just fine. Mal doesn't plan on this temporary fix becoming permanent, but he didn't count on finding the one right girl.


Anne Rollins never thought she'd ever meet the rock god who plastered her teenage bedroom walls-especially not under these circumstances. Anne has money problems. Big ones. But being paid to play the pretend girlfriend to a wild life-of-the-party drummer couldn't end well. No matter how hot he is. Or could it?”

My Thoughts:

This is the second book in the Stage Dive series. I loved the first book--Lick--and I loved this one too! I think this one was even better with character development.

I really like Scott’s style. Each member of the band has their own distinct personality. Dave, from the first book, is the cool/sensitive guy. Mal is the funny guy and this book definitely made me laugh. I liked Anne a little better than Ev, too.

Next up is Jimmy...the bad boy. Swoon. The bad boy is always my favorite.

For my romance reader friends...give ALL the Stage Dive books a try! Lick, Play, Lead, Deep

Lick

Lick by Kylie Scott

Romance series “must-read” alert!

This is the first book in the “Stage Dive” series. I read it in one day! And then read the next two in that same week. Then…I had to wait for the fourth to come out. I re-read the first three just before the fourth was released. That’s how good these books are!

Don’t let the name scare you. It is referring to “lick” in the musical sense. :)

Scott created some really good characters here, with serious chemistry and humor thrown in. If you are a romance enthusiast, definitely add this one to your list! Each book has a unique male character, finding love with a strong, regular type gal. I liked each book, but I’m a sucker for the bad boy and so “Lead” the third in the series was my favorite.

Amazon Description:

“Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas's plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man in her room, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.
In Kylie Scott's Lick, one thing is certain: being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.”
