As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it's booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.
Lena's not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him.
Kylie’s clever voice shines in this story of Jimmy and Lena. Jimmy is kind of a-hole, but in my opinion, all bands need an a-hole. He’s suave, debonair and damaged. What is Lena to do when she’s developed feelings for the man? This release moves at a slower pace than the others in the series; but that suits Jimmy and Lena’s story perfectly. The couple needs time to discover each other and for their feelings to bloom. Highly recommended. ~ Nelle
Let me start by saying that Mal is my man and no one will ever compare to him. That being said, Jimmy is delicious in a grumpy, broody way. An awful childhood left him believing he didn’t deserve love. So he numbed himself with drugs, booze and mindless sex…the ultimate Rock Star cliche. He finally gets himself sober and now needs a “sobriety companion.” Enter Lena. She’s everything Jimmy doesn’t know he needs. She fought her feelings for him, and it was hilarious watching their “plan” to make her fall out of love with him. I love that it took a while for them to get together. I hated Jimmy more than I loved him, but it was beautiful when it all finally came together.
Jimmy is our perfect broody rockstar. All tortured and fighting some serious demons. Lena is our take-no-shit firecracker who is tasked with basically being Jimmy’s babysitter and making sure he doesn’t fall off the wagon. Naturally, feelings get involved. And penises. Feelings and penises. And angst. Who doesn’t love feelings and penises and angst?! And as always, Kylie Scott’s brilliant sense of humor is injected all throughout. Lead is a delicious slow burn that I highly recommend.
