3.5 stars :)I had no idea what to expect out of my first romance with a rockstar. I am extremely happy to report I love rockers! Tight leathers pants… oh, I am so easy :) But they have to have a soul, or at least on their way to getting it back.Kind of like Dante in Jennifer Chance’s Rock It: he’s actually paid his dues young and at a relatively young age of 24, he’s ready to cash in, hang up the leather pants, and write and sing the songs he’s deep down always wanted to play. But first he has to get all he can out of his name while he’s on top and that means signing up with a new management firm to handle his next two tours and all the merchandising deals.Add in Lacey Dawes, recent college graduate but a talented junior agent at Dante’s new Management firm. And she happens to know a little about Dante because she’s a fan of his. Well, maybe fan is an understatement. She was THE BIGGEST FAN of his. She spent a good portion of her teenage years devoted to following every step of Dante’s, scrapbooking it along the way. But now that she’s older and working in a career she loves, those days are behind her.Lacey is constantly torn between treating Dante like the rock star persona he wears and seeing behind it to Dante himself. Dante just wants to get off the train of his life to slow down to enjoy it. It would be nice to find someone who actually sees him as a person and he’s trying to figure out if that person is Lacey. Between Lacey and Dante, of course I felt for Dante and all I wanted to do was hug the poor guy and say, “I see you!” Lacey’s waffling annoyed me a bit but it was manageable.The supporting characters were great. Even with almost all of Lacey’s friends thrown at me at once, I quickly kept them straight. My favorite friend of all is Anna. I loved how smart she was and her dedication to Lacey. No doubt, I’m reading the next book in the series because it’s hers!I read the arc so there were some grammatical errors but nothing I couldn’t happily get through. The story was so unique and I easily got lost in a whole other world of music promotion.Best of all, the romance was scorching hot! This is NOT a read for the under 17 crowd. Heck, it’s about rock shows, you should know debauchery might be in the neighborhood (girls dancing under the stage floor type of “fun” – Dang!). Honestly, there’s nothing scary in this book, everything is strictly hot romance with a pg-17 rating (at least I think so).This is a quick, fun, get out of reality read and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series, Fake It (Rule Breakers #2) due out July 1st, 2014.I received this book from the author in exchange for an unbiased review.
