Strong by Kylie Scott
4.0
STRONG is book 4.5 in the Stage Dive series and also part of the 1001 Dark Nights ongoing collection. It stands alone so jump right in!
Martha has moved back home from New York to help out her brother, Ben, who just happens to be part of the super successful rock band: Stage Dive. She's her nephew's temporary nanny until she decides what to do next. What she doesn't need? To be distracted by the totally hot bodyguard for the band, Sam.
I'll admit that it's been awhile since I've read this series but reading Sam and Martha's story got me revved up for a re-read! As with most of the books from the 1001 Dark Nights, this one is just a taste of the yummyness that Kylie Scott graced us with in the Stage Dive series. We get a glimpse into all of the characters lives from Martha's rather stilted POV. I mean, let's face it, she's not the nicest person in the room. But it was fun to watch her mature and own up to her past mistakes while still maintaining that certain level of bad assness!
I adored Sam. I pictured him in my head as the Rock aka. Dwayne Johnson! How does an alpha male pull off serious and silly at the same time?!? But that's also what was lacking for me. I SO wish that we got some of Sam's POV. I know, I know...it's a novella, not enough room for a full arc, blah,blah, blah! (See, I can be bratty like Martha too!) :)
Overall, I really enjoyed this sexy short and I'm ready to snuggle up with the Stage Dive gang again! Told entirely from Martha's POV with a happy ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
