If you read the synopsis and think this book is going to be about a hot rock star on tour with his band, you will be sadly mistaken. Although that is how the H&H; meet, the book takes place over the run up to the tour.Flynn is lead singer with Rengade Saints a famous rock band. For 10 years, Flynn has lived the rock and roll lifestyle but now him and his band are tired of it and have decided to retire and manage bands instead. The new band they manage has had a photographer take some photos of them. When Flynn sees the photographer in the photos he is instantly smitten and arranges to have her hired to take photos of the Renegade Saints farewell tour.When Flynn finally meets Tessa there is an instant attraction and he feels like he has met her somewhere before (this will make sense when you read the prologue) he feels an immediate connection and for Tessa, Flynn was her teenage crush. She had his poster on her wall and watched him in concert. She feels the same attraction. Almost immediately they become a couple. They have everything in common from liking the same food to liking the same films and TV programmes (seemed a bit too good to be true!).Flynn is 29 but apart from a relationship in high school that didn't really count because him and his girlfriend were unfaithful to each other, Flynn has never had a real relationship. For the first 4 years when he was famous he slept with a lot of women, mostly groupies and took part in threesomes. However, he never ever ejaculated with any of these women. Tessa is 23 until a short time ago she was a virgin but gave her virginity to her boyfriend who she then caught in a threesome with another couple! The said boyfriend told her she was frigid.If you like raunchy sex scenes with plenty of crude talking, then you will love this book! I like a good sex scene, but this book was more or less one big sex scene. They are at it every few pages! Of course Flynn soon proves that Tessa isn't frigid and he manages fine ejaculating! I had to laugh at Tessa's awe at the size of Flynn's manhood. This is one well endowed hero!We get both the H&H; POV but after a while, they start to merge into one and I couldn't really distinguish who was who and Flynn's character started to read like Tessa's. The author tells us what has happened rather than shows us and I would have liked a few more scenes and a lot more dialogue other than sex talk.I have not read the other books this author has written and I realise characters from that appear in this novel, so it may be a good idea to have read them first to understand what is going on.As in every love story, the H&H; must have a disagreement and a mini break up. When the break up comes in this story, I actually laughed. The reason was ridiculous and Flynn ends up acting like a petulant child (although he does later admit to himself he had acted in a childish way). Considering Flynn is a famous rockstar, he manages to go about his business with very little interference from the Press or fans. It seemed as if occasionally the author would remember he was supposed to be famous and add a little bit about the Paps but it seemed unrealistic that they showed no interest in him or his new girlfriend.This book was not what I thought it was going to be and Flynn was not how I imagine a famous rock star to act like. He also acted a lot younger than 29. I have read other books with this storyline that did a much better job. Others may enjoy it, but for me it lacked something and I actually got bored of all the sex scenes which take up a good portion of the book. To me it read like a debut novel, so I was surprised to see the author had already written four other books.
