The first irresistible novel in a hot new series about a rock star on his way up—and the woman he wants to take all the way…
Emmie Valencia has what it takes to be the music industry’s hottest band manager. She just needs to prove it. Determined to discover a killer new band, Emmie is ready to make her move. First stop: Austin, Texas.
As a sizzling-hot lead singer, Slater Vaughn has no trouble raising heart rates—but his band’s been flat-lining for years. When Emmie, his bandmate’s sister, crashes with them in exchange for some free management, her industry know-how lands them a spot in the biggest music festival in Texas. But it isn’t just her business acumen that catches Slater’s attention. Emmie is sexy and warm, and—for the first time in his life—he wants more.
But as irresistible as Slater is, Emmie is done with musicians. In her experience, a man can’t be a rock star and someone to trust with your heart—but Slater is determined to show her he’s both.

My Thoughts.
I have to start by saying that I'm a big fan of contemporary romances that feature rock bands and the women that catch them off guard and change their lives for the better, so when this book came along I was more than eager to pick it up and get reading.Slater Vaughn is the charismatic lead singer of rock band Snatch, not yet having hit the big time they are still playing the college circuit and going nowhere until Emmie Valencia personal assistant to the owner of the biggest record label in America Amoeba Records and Snatch's bass player Derek's sister moves in with the band to help them become the big stadium band she knows they could be.
What Emmie hadn't counted on was the attraction she feels toward bad boy rocker Slater, having been burned before by a rock star she has vowed to never again become involved with a musician, but it's hard when the chemistry between these two is off the charts.
When Emmie and Slater both give in to their feelings and begin a relationship, they're not prepared for the time apart when the band go on the road to tour, especially with the temptations of all this life can offer, add in a manipulative, bitchy singer Piper Lee who Snatch become the support act for who is out to make Slater her own, can their relationship last under the tremendous strain they find themselves under?
This was such a great read, and I look forward to the other band members books as well, an exciting start to an all new series.
I give this 4/5 stars.
