“I wasn’t prepared to need you this much. I don’t know who I am anymore if you aren’t with me.��



One word springs to mind when I think about this book and that is AWESOME! The dialogue in the book is quick witted, the characters have a charm about them and their banter was superb. This was an incredibly hilarious read and I was constantly laughing out loud (and I mean that, literally). After falling madly in love with the first book in this series, “Idol��, I just could not wait to get my hands on the second “Managed��, which meant I was re-introduced to Gabriel “Scottie�� Scott. I just could not wait to get inside his head and read his story. Kristen Callihan certainly did nail it again.

I fell head over heels in love with Sophie Darling from the very first page. She is witty, outspoken, spirited and confident. Sophie cannot believe her luck when she is upgraded to first class on a flight to London. This is where she first meets Gabriel. Gabriel comes across as a typical pompous, arrogant Brit; he is a person who buys two seats in first class so he doesn’t have to sit with anyone else. When Sophie is moved to first class, to sit in the spare seat he has purchased, he gets riled up at the fact he has to sit next to her. For a normal person this could have been a very awkward situation, but not Sophie. No, she fights back and refuses to take his crap and even nicknames him “Sunshine��.

One of the many character traits I loved about Sophie was her compassion. During the seven hour flight to London, she wakes to find Gabriel having a panic attack as a result of some turbulence. Despite his rude behaviour towards her earlier on, she was still willing to go above and beyond and help him with his panic attack by cuddling him. That turned out to the first of many comforting cuddles she would give to him.

Gabriel is not at all as he initially appears to be. He comes across as a serious, stiff, pompous twat who is incapable of having any fun, but he has an absolute heart of gold. As the manager of one of the biggest rock groups in the world “Kill John��, he is fiercely loyal to them. He refers to them as his family, but due to previous life experiences, he has built a wall between him and everybody else in his life and finds it terrifying to let people in. I’m not going to go into too much detail of all the wonderful, complex layers of Gabriel Scott, but trust me when I say you this, “you will fall in love with him!"



This was such an addictive, heart-warming beautiful story filled with lots of laugh out loud moments and a lot of quick witted banter. Gabriel and Sophie were night and day and their sexual tension literally jumped off the pages. The anticipation for them to eventually succumb to their feelings and attraction towards each other almost did me in. I loved each and every page and could not put it down. If you enjoy your slow burn, opposites attract, hilarious and heart-warming stories, definitely give this a go. I most definitely recommend it.
