PlayBy: Kylie Scott5/5 starsWhoa! Mal, my man…I knew you would be great but you exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved the first book, and I wasn’t sure anyone could measure up to the caring, brooding, loving, intense David Ferris. I really don’t know & can’t say which character I’m more in love with. How about saying…I love the author’s mind & creativity…ok…maybe just her.Mal is going through some very tough personal times, but won’t open up or share why…not even with his bandmates, who actually suspect he has a drinking problem. Either way, he needs a temporary, pretend girlfriend.Anne has been screwed over by a friend, and in all actuality has been taken advantage of by most of the people in her life. Her only constant is her sister, who is in college, and who she also helps out with expenses. Anne has maxed out credit cards, a bankrupt savings and rent is due in a week.Mal & Anne meet by chance at a party at David & Evelyn’s place. Anne was an across the hall friend of Evelyn’s & her old roommate. Mal decides after meeting and speaking to Anne, that she is going to be his girlfriend. Then he sets about making it happen. It starts out as pretend…Mal is so playful, so fun and sometimes very serious. His antics are hilarious and sometimes he is more than a bit manic…especially when drunk. It takes a while for anyone to break through to find out what his problems are. All the while, Mal is protective over Anne and she is protective over him.We also meet Mal’s parents in this book. His mother was a huge driving force of support behind the band, is the band mother. All the boys love her.I absolutely loved this book and am looking forward to Jimmy’s book Lead and Ben’s book Deep. I love the Stage Dive boys…thanks Kylie Scott!
