I gave this 2 stars because I finished the book. I am still asking myself why. (Spoilers - sort of)First - for those that are not fans of the F word, if you want to read this you need to get over it, because it is up to 8 times a page when "the boys" or Jax is around.I could not beleive this book, WTH? The heroine is one of those girls that did not think she was all that until she walks into the house where this band is and apparently they all fall for her because of her hotness, and they all have to call her some stupid nickname, one guy calls her hot stuff, another Spanner (b/c of the effect she has on his balls) and her name is Eve, but everyone calls her E, except Jax that calls her the ubiquitous "Babe". When some guys do "babe" it can be hot - for me it was a big NOT with Jax. Apparently every guy she meets either wants her or wants to protect her, if they don't want to protect her, they want to....Wait for it - spoiler ahead.....Rape her, yes that is right, we have 2 attempted rape scenes in this book with Eve - one a total creeper and the other guy a supposed friend that later shows up like trying to rape her was nothing. Even better there is a Date rape scene with another girl in the first part of the book, not to mention the crap Eve goes though.Apparently authors can't just have bad stuff happen, it has to continue to happen, over and over so we really feal the heroines pain.Then there is Jax, who if he says "Whats Up" is "communicating, and using his big words. The guy is a jack butt. I don't think he's hot, I think he is mentally and emotionally stunted. This book just had too many pat coincidences and just in time saves. And coincidentally he reminds me of a remix of other better characters, he just F's women, and never in his bed, no one goes in his bed but E.Like I said, I read the whole thing, but literally the dialogue is horrid. Jaxon is incapable of a full sentence he says wonderful things like..Eff E I need to be in youYou are so effing beautifulBabe!Babe?Cos' I'm gonna make you effing scream babeOh the awsomeness of being his effing babe, don't know why this didn't do it for me.I thought it could have been way better with real dialogue and less attempted coolness. Instead it came across as how a kid thinks it would be cool to be in a band and what might happen. To me this is a total skip.PS The irony that I can had to change this review 4 times to get it past the amazon sensors, when I just used quotes from the book is not lost on me - trust me there is cleaning it up. To use the F word as gratuitously as this book does just means there is not a lot going on in the characters - it is Noun, adjective and frequently a Verb.
