Worth waiting for!
Took me a while to get to this on, but Lake does not disappoint! If you’re familiar with her Lost Kings series, we've met Mallory and Chaser mich later in life. To see the start of them is fabulous.
This started as a mini-series in her newsletter, but took on a life of it's own. It does end cliffhanger-y, but not enough to pull hair out.

Book 1 of 3.
Read books in series order as it's one story.
Music band story with links to MC series.
I really dislike the cover, in fact I almost didn't read it.
Hero is precious man-whore. Heroine is a virgin due to her protective family situation.
Hints at previous escapades with women and drugs etc.
Other woman drama and other man drama.
They fall for each other pretty quickly with full on 'i love you's', their issue is more trying to make their relationship work.
No cheating.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine but before the heroine officially meets the Hero she kisses his fellow band member as part of a video shoot for their song.
She feels there is no chemistry to the kiss but the Hero is in the audience and watches it.
Dual POV.
Cliffhanger ending.

After her father is sentenced to prison, Mallory packs her things and runs away to Hollywood to fulfill her dream of be coming an actress. Her first paying gig is on a music video for an up and coming rock band, Kickstart. Chaser is the guitarist for Kickstart who left his motorcycle club in New York to pursue his passion for music. He knows that eventually he will go back to his club but now he is chasing his dream of playing music. When he sees Mallory at the music video shoot he is instantly attracted to her and wants to hook up with her. But when he finally gets her alone he finds that he doesn't want Mallory to be a one time deal. He wants more from her but he is worried that he isn't good enough for the rich good girl he thinks Mallory is. He is worried that his biker club and music career and all the debauchery that came with both of those worlds is too much for her. Mallory is enamored with Chaser as well but is worried that her inexperience will scare him away. Plus she has her secrets which if revealed could be dangerous to them both. Mallory's sheltered life has made her quiet naive in some aspects but the reason she was sheltered has opened her eyes to things that no one should see. She may just be the perfect match for Chaser.
Mallory's naivete is in endearing and maddening the same time. She needs to trust herself more and groupies less. I adored her devotion to Chaser and loved how both of them were beyond supportive of their careers. Chaser was the perfect amount of over-the-top possessive, protective dirty talking alpha male. The way he was so protective of her from everyone had my heart fluttering and swooning. But I loved it when Mallory put him in his place and said that she has had her fill of controlling men so he was going to have to curb that. I loved when her backbone came out. This is book 1 in a trilogy and already their journey has taken them on some pretty wild adventures. Both good and bad but they did it all together. I cannot wait to see how the rest of their story plays out because that cliffy . . . oh man, I need to know what happens next. I highly recommend that you travel back in time to 1989 and hang out with Chaser and Mallory.

Book 1 of 3.
Read books in series order as it's one story, I originally read this as the books came out but I enjoyed it much more on a reread, I read the trilogy as 1 book.
Music band story with links to MC series.
The Hero's dad is president on an MC, the Hero is expected to take his place there one day but for now is pursuing his dream of his music career.
The couple do visit his family throughout the series and there are a few references to MC activity and as the book is based much earlier than the Lost Kings series, it reveals small pieces of information about the history of the Lost Kings, Rock is a teenage lad and appears in book 3.
I really dislike the cover, in fact I almost didn't read it.
Hero is previous man-whore. There are comments made about club girls and groupies for the band.
Although he is a gonna as soon as he meets the heroine, there is no interest elsewhere for him, his band mates are constantly still indulging, so lots of references to their activities.
Heroine is a virgin due to her protective family situation, at the start it is revealed her dad is being sentenced to a prison term for involvement in the mob.
He had plans for the heroine to go to her uncle for safety who she knows will marry her off to a man within the business.
There is small other man drama regarding him.
Other woman drama, several offers, throughout the series and other man drama, especially basically anyone who employed her or even interviewed her.
I got a bit fed up of how naive she is and how every man wanted her.
I think the author was using a scenario of an innocent protected background let loose on the world of Hollywood to show the depravity and loose morals but it got a bit old.
They fall for each other pretty quickly with full on 'i love you's', their issue is more trying to make their relationship work.
No cheating.
