BLURB
London:
My life isn’t perfect, but it’s mine. Writing for an upscale magazine in New York City is a dream come true. Everything is perfect, until it isn’t.
Now, I’m unemployed, single, pushing forty, and living back at home with my parents. Mid-life crisis anyone?
Then he walks through my parents’ front door and it all fades away. Sebastian “Bash” Jagger is grown up and all man. This new version in front of me is as cocksure as they come. Some would even call him a Rock God. And he’s about to turn my world upside down with an offer I can’t refuse.
There’s just one problem. He’s my younger brother’s best friend. My much younger brother.

Sebastian:
Fame and fortune; I’ve got it in spades. From the millions of fans screaming my name every night to the awards that line the walls of my mansion, I have it all. It’s a far cry from the dirty orphan who used to sleep on the floor of his best friend’s room.
Still, having everything isn’t enough. Something is still missing.
The second I walk through her parents’ front door and my eyes land on her, I know exactly what that is or rather who that is.
London Ramone has been the star of every wet dream I’ve ever had. The forbidden fruit I couldn’t touch, but was dying to taste. She was beautiful then, but she’s stunning now.
Opportunity is knocking—she needs a job and I have an offer she can’t refuse. If we both end up tangled in my sheets along the way that’s a bonus I can live with because I always get what I want and that won’t stop now.
She thinks I’m too young for her, but I’m going to enjoy proving to her how wrong she is. After all, age is just a number and I have hers.

Rockstar Rebel is a friends to lovers/rock star romance inspired by Park Avenue Player.

MY REVIEW
London's back home staying at her former rockstar parents' home with her tail between her legs. She was fired from her job because she wouldn't write an exposé about her brother, who's a famous rockstar himself. In her 30s, no job, no home, and then her younger brother's gorgeous friend and bandmate, Sebastian, walks into her brother's party. He's not a young kid anymore and London's more than aware of how hot he's become. Can she let herself have fun with a younger man, her brother's friend?!

Sebastian's been in love with his best friend's older sister since he first became aware of the opposite sex but he knew she was way out of his league. Now that she's back home though, and in the flesh, he's not going to let her slip through his fingers. Will London really allow herself to be with her younger brother's best friend?

I'm not normally a fan of older woman/younger man stories, but here in Rockstar Rebel, I actually enjoyed the trope. London is awesome, which is probably the main reason why I liked this story so much. But really, the entire cast, and story is great - entertaining, a bit suspenseful, and beyond steamy. I don't know if more is coming about the Toxic Goats band, but I hope so because I can tell all the members of the band, especially London's brother, Joel, have intriguing backstories.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
