At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, coming off the series Dirty (also about rock stars and not normally my thing.) I liked the story. I had the worse time with the description of Dalia. The author literally said she looked like Annie, of yep you guessed it, "Annie." First of all I picture a dirty 10 year old orphan when I read that. Second, who is walking around with red curls that tight and not looking like Ronald McDonald. I am not bashing redhaired nor curly haired women but saying she looked just like Annie didn't paint the picture of sex appeal for a woman reading this who grew up in the 80's watching and singing all of the songs growing up.

None of the relationship was believable or well written. The characters were just annoying. The plot was going nowhere and nowhere slow.

Trope: Enemies to lovers in a rock star romance. 
Witty banter and snark blend with steamy tour bus scenes for a fun romance. 
Nick is lead singer of his band and does bad social media protecting his band mate. Dalia blasts the band on social media without knowing the full story, but the repercussions are more than she bargained for. When she gets a job on their tour the two butt heads constantly, but it’s a thin line between love and hate.

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were interesting, the writing kept me engaged and wasn't overbearing, there were several spicy scenes (one with headphones that I will keep coming back to), and a lot of heart! Can't wait to read about the other boys in the band

I really enjoyed this as a light hearted but gut wrenching romance. Plus I am a sucker for a singer as a lead character
