Series:  Bullet, #4Category /Genre:  NA RomanceReceived from:  Jade C. Jamison (in return for an honest review --- actually, she took pity on me and gave me an ARC as an early birthday gift & I have had to wait forever(!) to tell ya'all all about it!)Recommended for:  18 + due to adult situations and sexual contentGrammar/editing:  A – near perfectThis is the fourth book in the series, but can stand alone.  I do recommend that you read BULLET before this one, but it is not necessary.  If you have not read BULLET, some of what I write here may be a spoiler.Brad is the driving force behind the band Fully Automatic.  This is the story of how he develops his band and his coming of age.  From the first time he sees Valerie, he knows there is something electric between them, but he also recognizes that she has chosen Ethan.  This is the story of Brad supporting his bandmates, finding love, and living his dream.I thought I loved Brad before, now it is adoration!  From the first time he saw Val, he knew there was something between them that could become love, but he also recognized that she had feelings for Ethan, and Brad was willing to wait for her to work it out.  He does give her the space, but he is always there for her when she needs a friend, a lover, or a confidante.  While she is working through her feelings with Ethan and Jet, Brad is pursuing other women, but never with his whole heart.  Traditionally, women talk about soul-mates and destiny and men speak of conquests.  Brad has his brain in the game and his libido on full-active duty, but his heart has been claimed and there is no fighting it.  When Ethan and Valerie marry, Brad accepts and expects to never have his happily-ever-after.  He decides to be content with his band as his mistress.  Luckily, fate isn’t always cruel.I have a question. How do you give a standing ovation to a book? If you go to a concert or play, you can give a standing O. Some concerts, you can flick your Bic, or wave your horns. For a street performer, you can throw money in the hat, but what can you do for a book? I know the answer is to write a review, and I am, but this book deserves something more. \m/  I absolutely loved this book and Jade is one of my favorite people on the planet.  I’ve claimed her as my  sister.  What is more thrilling for a lover of books than to have a sister who is an author extraordinaire?This is not the last book in this series.  Jade has promised us stories for Zane and Nick.  I’ll admit I am most looking forward to our band’s resident clown.  I may have married a bass player, but I have a thing for drummers.  When you add in his wit and charm, I’m a goner for Nick.  You know I’m looking forward to Nick’s and Zane’s stories.
