Mel is a photography grad student whose degree just might be compromised by an affair she had with her professor. While she waits to hear the verdict, she is offered a job as tour photographer for hot, rock band Lush. Unfortunately, the job is complicated by Mel's sister, the band's tour manager; her sister's fiancé, the band's drummer; and the lead singer, Joss, with whom Mel shares an instant and intense attraction.As soon as Mel arrives, it is obvious all is not well with this group. There are dark things brewing beneath the surface, ready to erupt at any moment.Can Mel fight her strong feelings for super-hot Joss? Can Joss be with Mel and still keep all of his secrets from tearing the band apart?I liked this one. You could see exactly where it was going from page one--even the "secrets" aren't secret from the reader--but that didn't take away from its entertainment value. The characters were likable--even when they were acting like megalomaniacal babies. And you really wanted Mel and Joss to make it work.There were no surprises but also no one did anything completely illogical, simply because the author had no other ideas for conflict. This book had plenty of potential conflict and even though there was really only one way for it to go, it was like a train wreck and you just couldn't look away. I cringed when all the secrets were revealed, even though I knew the day of reckoning was coming.The POV switches back and forth from Mel to Joss. I liked both of their voices and hope to see more of them in the next book which appears to be about Tammy, Mel's sister, and Walsh, the drummer fiancé.All in all, a good, fast, rock 'n roll read.Can't wait for the next one!
