Blame It on the Tequila by Fiona Cole

"Supernova. Bright and powerful..."

Nova has spent years hiding and keeping her face off social media. That is until her friend videos her dancing on a joint live with none other than famous rockstar, Parker Callahan. Nova never thought she'd see Parker again because he's more than just a singer to her - he was her stepbrother. The same stepbrother who left her behind to follow his dreams. But when a once in a lifetime offer comes her way, she finds herself on tour with Parker's band helping them write their next album. There's more to their past than she's willing to face but they soon find old habits, and old feelings, returning. Well, if she does kiss him she can just blame it on the tequila, right?

"It was one thing to crave a boy— it was another when that boy stood across a forbidden line with a million consequences on the other side..."

Second in the Blame it on the Alcohol series and, just like the first, I devoured it. I liked how it went between present day and the past to tell Parker and Nova's story. Also, the dual pov was brilliant! The taboo element of stepbrother and stepsister seen in the chapters when they were younger was written well with lots of tension and angst. The twist to their story was one I hadn't expected. The voyeurism aspect and the itty bitty sharing with Ash had my eyes glued to the page - I wish there had been a bit more. I'm ready to move on to the next book, Blame it on the Vodka.
