<I received and ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review>5 Stars!!I am a huge Kylie Scott fan-girl. I was very excited for this book to come out. Malcolm “Mal” Ericson was a favorite character in the first book “Lick.” Mal has a great sense of humor but in some instances he uses his humor to cover up his hurt. He is a hot alpha male Rock Star. Who does not love a hot Rock Star? Along comes Anne Rollins. She has a lot of responsibilities and is overwhelmed by life. Mal is intrigued and moves right in on her. Anne is not sure of Mal’s true feelings because he covers them with his humor so we have a lot of emotional turmoil on Anne’s part.This book takes you through the gamut of emotions, love, giddiness, heartbreak, angst (a lot of it), and laughter. At several points in the book I was ready to strangle or slap Anne! I had to walk away from the kindle and regroup. Kylie provokes these emotions in you with her brilliant writing. As usual Kylie steams up the pages of your book with her love scenes.One of my favorite parts of the book is the jumping on the bed. (I won’t say anymore to ruin it) I was laughing out loud and swooning at the sweetness of the moment. There are several swoon worthy moments in this book. Read it to find out. You will love Malcolm just as much as I did. At the end I did feel it was a little rushed and would have liked to know just a hair more than what was given. I do realize we will see more of Mal and Anne throughout the other books. I am excited for this.I would recommend this book to all. You will not be disappointed in this addition of the series. It can be read as a stand-alone but if you read “Lick” first you will understand all the characters and what is going on. I am really looking forward to the next addition to the series “Lead” Jimmy’s Story.Bravo Ms Scott on another example of brilliant writing. You make me laugh. Thank you.Quotes:What was truly upsetting was the way he separated my hands from his body. They wept silently. – Anne“Life’s a song, Anne. Let’s play.” My life hadn’t been much of a song… at least not up until this point. – Anne“We’ve broken my bed,” I said, stating the obvious. “In battle, sacrifices must be made, pumpkin” – MalUpon reflection, I don’t think I’d make a very good cowgirl because my thigh muscles still hadn’t quite recovered from the ride. – Anne“Anne, my pants itch. I think I’m allergic to them. Come help me take ‘em off.” – Mal
