CURRENTLY ON SALE!

Some people may not know this, but I'm not into rocker romances. I think the first one I read scarred me for life and I’ve avoided them ever since. But after reading Kristen Callihan’s Game On Series, I fell head over heels for her writing and knew I had to give this one a try.
I mean the woman created Drew freaking Baylor. And I am so glad I did! Kristen’s writing is filled with humor, angst, and romance and they were all present in Idol.
Libby is a hermit. She lives at home, works from home, and basically never leaves home unless she absolutely has to. One night, a drunken man crashes onto her lawn and leaves Libby no choice but to help him sober up. After realizing that man is Killian James, lead singer of a extremely popular band called Kill John, Libby and Killian form a bond over music. They spend time together in her small town before she sets out on tour with Kill John after Killian discovers Libby’s amazing voice.
Not surprisingly, Killian our hero was just perfection. When Libby finds him sprawled out on her lawn, it’s clear Killian isn’t himself and has been going through something. And even though Libby is pretty wary of him, his sweet charm just wins her over.
I loved loved his personality, their banter, and everything about them together.
And GOD DAMN is Killian sexy.
This story was overall low on the drama and high on the sweet romance. The MCs and the rest of the cast were just amazing characters.
I think my only critique would be I would have liked a bit more time with them getting to know each other before the story switched gears and Libby and Killian go on tour together. The months they spend getting to know one another were kind of skirted over. I loved their relationship, but I really wish there was more of their story before they jumped into such a big commitment with one another.
Overall, I would MOST DEFINITELY recommend this for fans of Kristen’s and those who just want a great romance. We also get a glimpse into the next book in the series, and HOLY HELL AM I EXCITED FOR THAT. I just know Scottie is going to be one of those delicious alpha assholes with a heart of gold (my favorite kind.) That glimpse into his book was hysterical and it doesn’t hurt that he’s described as a David Gandy lookalike. ;)

Killian’s expression goes soft, his gaze running over my face. His smile grows.
“What?� I ask, thrown by the gleam in his eyes. It makes my breath catch.
“You’re pretty.�
He says it so matter of fact I snort. “You sound surprised.�
Killian leans in just a little, “Truth? I am. You’ve been scowling at me so much…Ah there it is again. Glaring hate-fire at me.�
The calloused tip of his finger traces the top of my cheek, and my lower belly clenches in shock.
His voice grows thoughtful, “But when you smile? You kind of glow.�
I loved loved his personality, their banter, and everything about them together.
“Tell me you want this too, baby doll.�
“Want what?� I can’t think, my head is heavy, my limbs fumbling.
His dark eyes meet mine. “Everything.�
And GOD DAMN is Killian sexy.
“You’ve been teasing me all day with this thin excuse for a top,� he murmurs, his voice dark and rough�
Dark eyes roam. His breath gusts over my skin, his mouth so close to my aching nipple. “Barely covers those sweet little tits. You gonna show them to me now, Libby?�
God his voice. It’s heated toffee, sticky and rich, coating my skin. It’s black magic, taking command of my body. I sway a bit, wanting to press myself against him, fighting for just a little longer because anticipation aches so sweet.
“You like me looking at you Libby?�
I can only make a strangled sound.
“Yeah, I think you do. Lower your top, baby doll. Show me what I’ve been dreaming about for weeks.�
This story was overall low on the drama and high on the sweet romance. The MCs and the rest of the cast were just amazing characters.
