First, I want to welcome Olivia to TEXAS, we're so glad to have you! Last year I got ahold of Olivia's Sinners on Tour series (Backstage Pass #1, Rock Hard #2). I've been salivating for another one ever since. To keep us lucky readers entertained while we're waiting for release day, she's publishing a series of novellas about whole new band called Sole Regret.Ms. Cunning has writing about musicians and their adoring fans down to an art. I feel like I'm back stage at a live show every time I read one. Clashing personalities with big egos and bigger *gifts*! The sex is always smokin' and the band never disappoints.Try Me begins with Melanie reluctantly attending a out of town show with her BFF Nikki, against her better judgement. Once they manage to get backstage she's left to make due while her friend tries to get up close and personal with the lead singer. Melanie's a straight laced, accountant, just along for the ride, so she's got no interest in fawning after a bunch of delinquent rock stars, right?Gabe's boy next door outward appearance gives Melanie a false sense of comfort and she's making small talk to pass the time. Once Gabe's true rock star identity is revealed, she's already hooked. He's the drool worthy dummer for Sole Regret, and she can't get enough of his sexy smile. That and Gabe "Force" Banner has the rhythm and the mind a girl can really appreciate.I'm always worried a novella won't give me the same connection to the characters that I get with a novel. Try Me gives us the same intensity you'd feel with a full length novel, at a much quicker pace. A hot and heavy one night stand that manages to still feel like a romance. There's more to the plot than a quick romp in the sheets, and that's the secret, I think, to engaging readers in a short story.Ms. Cunning has managed to crank out a whole new series starring a to-die-for sexy band of Rockers. I can't wait to get my next fix of Sole Regret. I find it especially sweet she's planning to release her One Night With Sole Regret series in more frequent installments than the Sinners On Tour series. THANK YOU Olivia! Psst...now when do we get Take Me???Review copy provided for an honest review.
