I am a music fan. Played in the school and local orchestra growing up, am always listening to music and love me a musical guy. I’ve long thought rockstars should be a thing in romance but they seemed to be on the taboo list for some reason (possibly having to do with groupies and the likelihood of a HEA but whatevs because of course a romance hero rockstar isn’t going to pull such shenanigans). So no rockstar romance for me. Until the brilliant Kylie Scott started her Stage Dive series.
Now I first met Kylie (I think, sorry Kylie if I am remembering wrong) at an ARRA signing. I think it was early 2012. We have the same last name, therefore we sit next to each other at signings. At the time I think my third Kin book had come out and Kylie had a couple of post apocalyptic zombie type romances out. But the first book in the Stage Dive series, Lick, hadn’t yet been published. So we sat and chatted a bit and signed the odd book/bit of swag and were nervous relatively newbie authors at a signing together and I thought she was a cool chick.
The next year (or later in 2012), Lick came out and it turned out that like me, there were just a few (aka many many many thousands) people who felt like me about hot rock star romances. The rest as they say as history. Kylie is now a very deserving best selling author (and still a very cool chick). Her writing is smart and funny and sexy and her heroines are imperfect and real and hilarious as they tame their rock gods. I’ve re-read each of the books a few times since I first read Lick and am impatiently awaiting the release of Deep on March 31st. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the first book I read once I’ve handed in Playing Hard.
So if you haven’t read any of the Stage Dive books yet, get your hands on these three bits of gorgeousness, fall in love with them, and then be very happy that you don’t have to wait very long for number four!
