Rise With Me by Leann Belle

4.0

Natalie's only goal is to make it in the music industry. Its a tough goal to achieve, but she's a shark in a fish tank ready to break out. So when she gets to be an intern for ALIVE records she's drastically excited and thinks she's one step closer to her dreams. If only she knew what was really in store for her. Love!

Jackson wants to be like every other musician and succeed with a record label. He has an amazing voice and the perfect sex appeal, but he's still a little rough around the edges and inexperienced. But when Natalie heard his voice on his submission tape she instantly knew he was going to be the next big hit. So she got him an audition, only for him to choke with stage fright. But she knows her gut feeling is telling her he's going to be huge so she fights for him. You don't get anywhere is this industry without selling your soul to the devil? Right?

Now tasked with being his manager she does everything she can for him. Including making deals with her boss whose she been in debt to. Over $10,000 in debt plus whatever she invests in Jackson. But Natalie doesn't care because she knows he's going somewhere. Even if one drunken night could change the course of their lives? From manager & client to lovers?

This may not be a typical style I've read from Leann before but she still did an amazing job. The chemistry between Natalie and Jackson was on fire and even they knew it. It was love or lust at first sight. And Jackson is adorable in the hot, sexy gentleman way. The only tiny issue was I felt that the ending was slightly rushed with finding out everything and Natalie's reaction to it all. But all in all I loved this book. Leann knocked it out of the park with another amazing novel and I can't wait to read more by her.
