**I received this ARC in exchange for an voluntary review**

Now the guys from Feral Silence are settled down, our attention is turned to Darkest Days, another band on the same label.

The link to the previous series is kept via Jen, the heroine, whose room-mates are dating two of Feral Silence. Jen prefers Darkest Days, and in thrilled to get an opportunity to work with Noah, the lead singer. She's not so thrilled to discover his personality isn't quite what she imagined.

Lots of chemistry and hot, steamy sex keep the book moving along while they sort themselves out. As a self-confessed fangirl, these books verge into romantic fantasy territory, but that's what makes them fun!

I'm really glad this was a KU book and not a paid one. Don't get me wrong, I love an asshole rockstar hero with a heart of gold. This hero was missing the latter, just making him an asshole.
The hero is basically using the heroine for muse sex. She keeps thinking that he's being sweet. Examples of his "sweet nothings" include complimenting her on the tightness of her vagina. Not dirty talk in bed, mind you, just in general conversation.
No thank you
And there was no real growth on either of their parts, especially the hero.
He totally turns on the heroine and blames her for something so stupid. And then he tries to get her back, only after he gets irrefutable proof she didn't betray him, not because he trusts her. I was hopeful that she'd really make him work for it after rejecting the initial insufficient grovel, but no, she takes him back after singing their song. Not good enough!
What a douchebag.
The writing wasn't great either. I think it needed another edit.
If you want real fangirl wish fulfilment read [b:Backstage Pass|8379374|Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1)|Olivia Cunning|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348192403s/8379374.jpg|13235522]. If you want an asshole who actually is a good guy (tortured, but good) read [b:Make Me Sin|26133112|Make Me Sin (Bad Habit, #2)|J.T.

But I'll probably read the damn series, because I have no shame or willpower.
