You Really Got Me by Erika Kelly
4.0
**4.5 Stars**
I loved this book! I just loooove the kinds of books about a self-proclaimed playboy rockstar who doesn’t do commitment and the girl he can’t have (and especially when she’s his bandmate’s sister)…that’s my kind of read. There was so much wonderful build-up and I loved Slater so much.
Emmie is the daughter of a famous musician who felt the music world was better than his family, and she has always worked so hard to gain his approval or for him to even notice her. It’s because of that that she has worked as a personal assistant to Irwin who runs Amoeba Records. And by personal assistant, I mean that she’s been at his beck and call for over eight years. She’s always dreamed of actually being something, and being someone in the musical industry. It’s this tug on her soul that makes her decide to take a break from her job, and help her brother’s band. It also helps her get away from her slimeball ex who is a rocker and cheated on her, so she doesn’t have a very high opinion of rockstars (which is warranted given her situation). She also completely loses her self-confidence and image of herself. So she flies out to Austin, Texas to her brother’s house and there she meets Slater. The GQ-lookalike lead singer of Snatch.
Slater Vaughn is the lead singer, and he is everything. He has the sex appeal times 100, the charisma, the stage presence that has women tripping over themselves to be near him. His passion is writing songs and being a part of this band. He is so against failure because of how overbearing his rockstar father was, that he would do anything to make this band successful. Including dirtying up his image. Slater was the man with the played-up image. He wore this image as a barrier and it isn’t until he meets Emmie that he can’t help but drop that mask. They become friends, and in that time he changes. He grows. He becomes who he should be. I loved who he was and what he became, not just for her, but for him. She helped him heal, and he did the same for her.
It was sweet, it was hot, it was sexy, and it was really well written. I fully enjoyed this story, and seeing both Emmie and Slater grow was incredibly enjoyable. (And I hate, hate, hate, Piper, by the way!). The story drew me in and kept me there completely. You will want Slater and Emmie to be together because they are two torn souls needing to be together again. And I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out.
