three-stars

The first book is not about Dare. It's about the band's bassist, Logan, and is entitled Insider. Yes, Dare will get his own book, as will all four members of the band.

She thought she was ready to rock...
Toni Nichols put her aspirations on hold while she raised her little sister, but now she's reaching for the stars and living her dreams as the creator of a revolutionary interactive biography about the rock band Exodus End. Creating the book requires her to go on tour and immerse herself in the band's world as an insider, but can she gain the trust of four veteran superstars who've been burned by the media before? Or will her dreams crumble at her feet?

He's always ready to roll
Logan Schmidt was born an adrenaline junkie. He lives for the rush he gets from playing his bass guitar before thousands of fans. When he's not performing on stage or in the bedroom, he's looking for his next endorphin high in extreme sports. So what is it about the sweet and innocent journalist on their world tour that gets his heart pumping and captures his full attention? Is she the real deal or is she posing at being his perfect woman to get inside secrets on Exodus End?

They're both ready to experiment
Though Toni was innocent the first time she climbed the bus steps, that didn't last long once Logan set his sights on her. He's so much more worldly than she is and she's ready to learn how to please a lover and explore all the ways she can be pleased. Logan can't believe his luck. Toni's a phenomenal woman and she wants him to teach her how to rock and roll in the sack? Not exactly a burdensome task. Until she starts to get too close to his heart and takes her insider look to a place he never anticipated

Hot Rock Star meets Sweet virginal journalist.

Read this storyline before, but I never read anything from this author so I was looking forward to reading her take on the story.

We meet Toni a 25 year old virgin who has her chance to prove herself as a journalist to write her first story.Β  And to lose her virginity.Β  Just so happens that this chance is going to take her on the road for a month with the Metal Band Exodus End.

Exodus End is a band made of hot guys. (Are there really any other kind?) Logan is the sexy bass player. And he is the lucky one that has the connection to Toni. In record time she loses her virginity to Logan.Β  And thus starts the love story of Logan and Toni.

The sex scenes were great. It was funny to read about Logan teaching Toni about sex. That was the favorite part of the book for me. But when it came time for Logan and Toni to spend time outside of the intimate moments I didn’t feel their connection. The jealousy Logan felt didn’t feel believable. All the β€œI love you, but just as a friend” moments were just hard. Then when the explosive moment came in the book there was nothing to explain what happened. Everyone turned on Toni but then they loved her again. HOW? That was not explained in the book. I did love Toni’s sister though. She will melt your heart.

We got to meet all the guys and get some of the back story from Toni’s actual interviews with them which I can see are segues for future books. Which I will read and review and hope that I can give it more than 3 stars.
