Stage Dive is easily my all-time favorite rockstar romance series. What a treat to be able to jump back into this world one more time and catch up with my favorite rockstars while getting a quick romance about a character I never expected!

Martha, Martha, Martha. To say she has an attitude and some bad history with the Stage Dive crew would be putting it mildly, but coming home after a stint in NY to stay with her brother, Ben, is something she needs to do.

Long-time Stage Dive security guard, Sam, isn't Martha's usual type, but her eyes can't help following him whenever he is in the room. It's something Sam has been waiting for. Good thing he's a patient guy. A patient guy with a plan for Martha now that she's back.

Leave it to Kylie Scott to take an antagonist that I really disliked from book one of this series and make me empathize with her by making her dynamic and giving her a strong influence in Sam. But if you haven't read this series, don't worry. This reads well as a standalone. And, to be honest, it may even work better that way as you don't have Martha's previous baggage to deal with.

Overall, I enjoyed this novella as the surprise treat it was. A quickie romance—in some respects too quick—that scratched that itch for more Stage Dive.
