I must begin where all good reviewers would... this book has SEXY rockers with TATTOOS & PIERCINGS... yes, absolutely delicious, yummy men. Okay, now onto the story because that was good too...This is Tracy Wolff's first book in her Shaken Dirty Series. Don't you love the band's name? The book focuses on one couple but gives readers an excellent introduction into each band member so we have a full picture. Then we get down to business... sneaky business with Ryder and Jamison as they begin a secret fling.A perfect opposites attract scenario, Ryder is a sexy rock star complete with tattoos and piercings along with a disturbing past. Jamison is Ryder's best friend's sister, a best friend who is also a band mate. She's been sheltered her whole life, mostly by the band members who all think of her as the little sister "Jelly Bean". Now all grown up though, she's independent and on tour with the band as their chef. And she has her sights, as always, on Ryder. Ryder has some less-than-brotherly feelings for her too. The problem is that, as we all know, little sisters are off limits and when they're caught in a compromising position, it causes both to pull away.The characters are written well. Ryder seems authentic, with enough back story to add some intrigue. Jamison is a realistic woman with insecurities and a size 12 ass. Love her because I could relate and most readers will find the same thing. Readers will pull for her and feel for her throughout the book while still connecting with Ryder.The emotional component is strong. There's amazing sexual tension between Ryder and Jamison. The events the band goes through obviously set the stage for future books but, more importantly, add to the connection readers will make with the characters. It felt very realistic and engaging.Can't wait for more of the Shaken Dirty boys!RATING4 Chocolate-Dipped StrawberriesFULL REVIEW HERE: [...]
