When my father, manager of the worldwide phenomenon Kinky Shine, asked me to come and help the band members appear more approachable I never thought my first meeting with Dex Bowers would start with such a question.
Immediately, I wanted to strangle him, wipe the smirk off his face and force him to mutter more than three words.
But there’s something mysterious about him that was electrifying and the more he pushed me away and angered me, the more I wanted to know him and push through his hangups. “Trust. That f*cking trust thing didn’t come easily to me.”
In the five years since my band became famous, not once had I been photographed with a woman. I knew it fed the supposed mystery surrounding me, but the real truth was far more humiliating than I was comfortable with.
That was until Harley Floyd walked in and I was left with a mind numbing lust for her that scared me shitless. It should be easy to let go and trust her just enough to have fun, to be happy I could finally come up with new material for our next album. But nothing was easy and with a life made of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll I wasn’t sure if anything could last. Not even my band.
“What twenty-five year old was f*cking lost when his cock was rock hard when close to a gorgeous woman? One answer to that; a man who hadn’t had sex in a really long time.”
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Harley Floyd is the daughter of the manager of the world famous rock band Kinky Shine. She’s a blogger about the music world and is called in by her dad to help the band with their social media skills. Excited to be helping until she meets the lead singer of Kinky Shine, Dex. He’s not a nice guy and has a super bad attitude. Dex didn’t make a good first impression at all. She’d be more than happy to smack the guy but at the same times feels electricity in the room whenever she’s near him.
Dex Howard is the lead singer of Kinky Shine. He’s on top of the world and could have any woman he wanted. In the five years of his success he has never been pictured with a woman.There is a good reason and his band members are aware but it’s a secret their all keeping. He has huge trust issues and just doesn’t want a relationship…..until he meets Harley. There’s something about her and she’s making him feel things he hasn’t felt in many many years. The question is what does he want to do about it?
I really have mixed feeling about the characters in this book. Dex is a man with a bad attitude. He’s go things he’s hiding from the world but he’s just so rude and clueless at times. He’s had a hard life and one minute my heart would break for him and the next I wanted to just smack the guy. Harley frustrated me as well but not as bad as Dex. She’s determined to do things on her own and has never considered a relationship at all with a rock star. She doesn’t want the paparazzi hounding her and for good reason. The band members are all unique personalities too. Otis is the hard partier, Beckett is quiet and a mystery and Maxen is Dex best friend from childhood and has a huge secret that could blow the band apart. I love how these guy though while happy with being a band valued their friendship more than the fame. They take care of each other. Their a family and their interactions at times will crack you up. Full of light hearted moments along with hot and serious moments Dex is a book romance lovers will surely love. Sometimes frustration is t a bad thing and the payoff is worth everything you go through as a reader.
I enjoyed my time with her guys of Kinky Shine and can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
When I thought she’d take a step toward me, she took one backward and away from me. Her eyes widened and she blushed. “I guess this time I should be the one leaving,’’ she said in a small voice, her words stumbling into each other’s .
“No.’’ What the fuck was I saying?
“What? I mean,’’ she shook her head. “I’m leaving.’’
I grabbed her shoulders and crowded her space before I realized what I was doing. Her scent enveloped me, enticed me. The thin material of her top was soft under my fingers, almost like nothing was separating me from her body. If I took a half step toward her I would feel her perfect breasts against my chest. I clenched my jaw and tried to calm my labored breathing. After a few seconds without moving she tilted her head upward to look at me and I was fucked. I thought I had been before that, but now, now I was lost to the sensations she was awakening in me, sensations I thought were gone.
Her lips, lush and parted called out to me. Her cheeks coloring more and more into a deeper red had me ready to damn myself for this show of innocence. Her eyes, bright and yet getting glassier showed nothing akin to innocence and that made me ready to come in my fucking pants. She was a contradiction and I would have never thought it’d be so tantalizing.
“What are you doing?’’ she whispered and her breath brushed my neck. I closed my eyes, my lips parted on a low moan. Fuck. What was she doing to me?
“Push me away. Now.’’
I kept my eyes closed to better feel the brush of her breathing on my skin. My cock was pushing against my zipper and it was fucking painful. I wanted to squeeze myself and jerk off to find a release, but I couldn’t. We were on a street in broad daylight.
I waited and waited and nothing happened. She kept on breathing irregularly and didn’t push me away.
