I love musicians, and stories that have hot rockers getting together are even better - Joe Perry and Steven Tyler watch out for Bastian and Aaron! L.A. Witt weaves a sexy tale about Aaron McClure who, after a bad break-up with his guitarist from his previous band, decides to head home and join his sister and brother's band, Schadenfreude, in an effort to re-join the music industry. Told from Aaron's POV, With the Band takes the reader through the band's triumphs and disappointments trying to get a record deal in Seattle.One of the best things about this book was that the characters seemed drawn from real life and I could see Andre, Bastian, Aaron, Todd and Elena and their own individual personalities on each page. Their desires, fears and frustrations were vividly described. I loved that even the secondary characters were well-written. The only niggle I had with With the Band was the pacing of the novel, which was a slow build-up rather than a fast ride, which I rather expected with members from a hard rock band. Other than that, this book was a delightful read.So if you like a sexy German-speaking protagonist who likes to have incendiary sex with his boyfriend, rock and roll music and well-drawn secondary characters, this is the book for you!Dark Divas Reviews
