Blame It on the Tequila by Fiona Cole
5.0
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE READS OF 2021!
Thank you Valentine PR for providing me with an ARC of the second book in the Blame it on the Alcohol series. I just finished Blame It On the Champagne (and loved it), so was more than excited to jump into this! Please note this book can also be read as standalone.
Tropes: Step-brother / Taboo / Rockstar Romance
Nova is an independent red head woman, who would rather live in a forest in a van - Then in a house with people. She is an artist and a writer. And in love with her step brother.
Parker is introduced as the talented musician, looking for the fame in being in a band. After a battle of a bands competition, he has the opportunity to follow that rockstar dream. Except he is in love with his step sister.
Fast forward 5 years, Nova & Parker are living very separate lives. Parker is out being a rockstar, while Nova is travelling around/exploring nature by herself. Until one of her best friends gets married and her other best friend, silently links Nova & Parker to accidentally "meet" over an instagram LIVE. Parker then will do anything bring Nova back into his life, but Nova can't forgive him for their past. An opportunity then arises which finds Nova working with Parker and his band in writing songs for their new album. This job will get her staying on a bus with the band while they tour around the country. This of course brings Nova & Parker together and having to deal with the past, as well as their feelings that have never left.
This story jumps between the present and the past, as well as duel POV. I adored this new adult romance. I read it within 24 hours and it has gone down easily as one of my favourite books. I love a good stepbrother/taboo romance, and to throw in a rockstar plot - It was executed perfectly. I now shall be pre-ordering the paperback, with it being released world wide May 27th 2021.
5/5 Stars with 3/5 Steam.
