BLURB

Working for America’s hottest rock band should be a dream come true for Phoebe Halstead. 
And it would be, if it wasn’t for lead singer, Levi Hunter. 
Tortured... Brooding... Broken. He’s everything she should stay away from. 
Unfortunately for Phoebe, she’s exactly the kind of girl Levi needs. The light to his dark. The calm to his storm. 
He wants to be worthy of her; she knows he’ll never change. 
Everyone knows the greatest love stories end one of two ways: 
... with a happily-ever-after or in heartache and ruin.

EXCERPT

“Why does this feel so right?” She broke the kiss, blinking up at me with her big honey eyes. 
“Because maybe it is. Maybe we just both have to take a chance.” 
“I can’t do it again. I can’t watch someone I...” She stopped herself, letting out a heavy sigh. Part of me was relieved. I didn’t want to ever hear those words. “I’ll never be the most important thing in your life. I deserve that, Levi. I deserve to come first.” 
Her honesty shook me to the core. Phoebe had scars. The deep kind. The kind I knew I couldn’t fix. The kind I knew I would only rip open if I pursued this thing with her. 
But I couldn’t walk away. 
I couldn’t do it. 
So long as she was on tour with us, we would continue to go around in circles until one of us cracked. Or I fucked things up for good. 
Touching my head to hers, I breathed her in. “I’m not a good guy, Bee, but I’d try to be good for you.” 
A shiver ran through her as she swayed gently. She was drunk. Maybe more than I’d first thought. 
“Come on,” I said, guiding her toward the bed. “You should get some sleep.” 
Phoebe began stripping out of her clothes with haste, as if they were suffocating her. “Stupid shirt,” she groaned as she tried to yank it over her head. 
I stood back, smothering the laughter rumbling in my chest. “Need some help?” 
Her eyes snapped to mine, glittering in the dark. “I can manage.” 
After a couple more failed attempts, I crouched down and nudged her hands away. “Here, let me.” My fingers brushed her bare skin, and she whimpered again. 
My dick strained against my jeans, desperate to feel her again. But the next time I was inside her, I wanted Phoebe to know exactly who she was fucking. 
I pulled back the cover. “In you go.” 
“I can’t believe this happening,” she mumbled. “How embarrassing.” Phoebe buried her face in the pillow. 
I made quick work of stripping down to my boxers and climbed in bed beside her. She tried to roll away, putting as much space between us as possible. 
But fuck that. 
I hooked my arm around Phoebe’s waist and pulled her back against my chest. 
“Levi, we can’t snuggle...” 
“Why the fuck not?” I tangled my legs with hers, fighting the urge to press my hard length right up against her ass. 
“Because I’m your assistant and you’re...” She let out a little huff of frustration. 
“It’s okay, honeybee,” the nickname rolled off my tongue as easy as breathing, “you can say it. I’m the best sex you’ve ever had.” I breathed against the shell of her ear. 
Her sweet laughter filled the small room. “You’re definitely the biggest ego I’ve ever had.”

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
