A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
She’s one addiction he can’t resist.
Wyatt Jennings has been called a lot of things by the media. Bad-boy rocker. Intense drummer. Addict.
Finally out of rehab and desperate for a fresh start, Wyatt rejoins his mega-platinum rock band Shaken Dirty as they prepare for their world tour. But Wyatt’s demons are never far behind, always nipping at his heels for one. More. Fix.
Enter Poppy Germaine, the band’s new social media consultant. A beautiful bombshell who somehow manages to get underneath Wyatt’s skin, Poppy’s an addiction Wyatt can get behind. And even though she’s with the label—and therefore off-limits—he craves her. Needs her.
Except Poppy isn’t actually a social media consultant. She’s the daughter of the label’s CEO, sent undercover to babysit Wyatt and keep him from falling off the wagon again. Proving herself to her father is Poppy’s only goal—until she finds herself in Wyatt’s bed. But if Wyatt discovers the truth, it could send him spiraling all over again…

FADE INTO YOU is a beautiful love story filled with passion and emotion. This is the third book in the Shaken Dirty series and each one is a standalone featuring a different member of the Shaken Dirty rock band. I have enjoyed each story in this series and love all the guys in Shaken Dirty.
This story is about Wyatt, who plays drums for Shaken Dirty and has just finished his third stint in rehab. Wyatt has demons and uses drugs and alcohol to deal with all the emotions swirling inside of him. He is determined to stay clean this time but he doesn’t know how to cope on his own. He is a mess and afraid to ask for help or admit his fears to anyone.
The band thinks Poppy Germaine has been sent by the record company to help them with their social media. She doesn’t tell the band the owner of the record company is her father or that she is there to watch over Wyatt. When she agreed to take the job, Poppy had no idea she would fall for Wyatt. From the moment Wyatt and Poppy meet, they can’t keep their hands off of each other. Poppy is drawn to Wyatt; he is a dark, emotional man who can also be tender and sensitive. Logically, Poppy knows she should keep her distance, but logic flies out the window when she is with Wyatt. I liked both Wyatt and Poppy and thought they were good for each other and they have fantastic chemistry.
Wyatt is a mess and he is trying to stay away from the only thing that gives him peace, drugs. He cares about his band mates and he knows he can’t keep causing problems for the band. Wyatt is constantly fighting to overcome his addictions and it is not easy for him. I admire how hard he tries to do the right thing and how passionate he is. Wyatt’s world revolves around music, playing the drums and his band mates, until he meets Poppy. The problem is Wyatt and Poppy both have secrets they are afraid to share and their secrets can tear their fragile relationship apart.
Tracy Wolff knows how to write realistic characters with flaws. I felt as though I was right there with the band and I never wanted to leave their world. The guys are friends, enjoy spending time together and love to joke around and give each other a hard time. Everyone in the band has worked hard and they are now a huge success but being famous isn’t easy and it has changed their lives dramatically. All the guys really want to do is write songs and play their music; but unfortunately, with fame comes a lot of responsibility and many people they have to please.
