Blurb:
I’ve never been able to say no to my manager, which is probably why my band instated the No Bang Oath. When she asks me to star on a new reality dating show right before we go on tour, the last thing I want to find is love. But since it was Kylie who asked, I say yes. Besides, I can’t turn down the exposure for my band.
As I forge connections with the women—including the show’s hostess—I can’t seem to shake Kylie out of my head. When I find myself at the center of a scandal, I don’t know what’s worse: the bad press or the disappointment in Kylie’s eyes.
How do I prove I’m not just another rock star before I hit the road with one of the biggest bands in the world?

My Thoughts:
Dax Hunter isn’t happy about the position he’s been put in. It’s all about getting ahead – which didn’t
earn any brownie points with me. He
feeds into my perception that some men in his profession like to have their
cake and eat it too. But he does have a
somewhat redeeming quality but since it’s for his benefit I’ll have to sit on
the fence for a while, even though it might get a little cold, as I watch the
story progress. Especially when I turn
around and he has me feeling sorry for him.
One disappointment I had was that I couldn’t listen to his band
play as I read. Not sure playing one of
my all time favorite bands, Queen, in the background will have me thinking
about MFB. A playlist is mentioned but
it’s part of a scene. So I would say to
think about what you can imagine the type of music his group might play and
then create a playlist around that.
I liked how the author mashed up some reality shows to add a
little spice to Dax’s life. It gave me a
few chuckle moments. I loved seeing him
squirm – doesn’t take much to make me happy.
Our author waits to get her readers involved with her reality show
before she starts having him even begin to think of love or that elusive
happily every after. She stars out by
including pictures and information about some of the extras. It was a great way to get us involved – just
like the television show. Full
disclosure, I hate that show – always have.
But by starting it later in the story was good for me. If you’re of the same mind as me it may be
for you too.
The author leaves us guessing as to what Dax’s present and future
holds. On the opposite end, she gives me
the sense of how everything seems staged – which is what I felt about the
actual show. I liked how she didn’t give
him a big personality because as you get to know him that just wouldn’t seem to
fit. You may have noticed that I didn’t
mention a love interest. In the spirit
of the reality show I’m not going to mention a name. Just like The
Bachelor you will have to watch to see how things turn out after the show
is over.
