About this listen

Libby

I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won't leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he's slowly wearing me down, making me crave more. He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he's theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

Killian

As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

Until Liberty. She's grouchy, a recluse - and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who've screamed my name.

The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I'm not willing to leave her. I've got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

Contains mature themes.

New author for me, good first book, looking forward to the next in the series. Narrators did a good job.

This book brought back memories to a time I was a groupie, following bands who played rock and heavy metal music. I loved everything about this book. The narrators did a great job and were perfect.

It's good very good. My head is still wrapped up in them and I'm not leaving I'm going straight into the next book. Well crafted, compelling characters delivered beautifully. Enjoy.

Get it.

it's my first read of this author and I think she needed to push her main character's a little deeper. the story was one that has been rehashed a lot of times but she did an ok job of piecing it together. Liberty was sassy and Killian seemed to hold his own and the band seem to be grounded. the enormity of what happened to one of the members didn't seem to give me the empathy that I would normally feel.
the steamy scenes where exactly that, steamy and I think Liberty did a good job in maintaining her strength. Miss Callihan has taken a tricky subject and injected it into the story which turned out to be the main crunch in the thick of it all.
all in all I just felt that the novel glossed over a fairly gritty plot . rock bands tend to be written in a seemingly darker way. so in saying this, I'd describe it as sweet, a tad funny, steamy, Alpha and a gifted, sassy heroine.
but all of this is encompassed on the lighter side of rock and roll

needed some more depth

I love her stories. No third-act break ups. I loved the MCs and the dynamics in the band and the music references.

Such a nice love story

I don't know why but I really enjoy this book. I have listened a couple of times. Narrators are good.

1 of my favs

An adorable romance! I loved this book! Libby and Killian are definitely different in their lives before meeting each other, but once their lives collided they both almost seamlessly moulded together. While I say that though, there are the points of the story where they decide some toxic habits like keeping their romance secret which does change the consequences of them finally revealing their relationship. Overall though, their relationship is amazing throughout most of this book and just makes me swoon! HEA guaranteed! I would definitely recommend this book! Amazing storyline and narration! I was really happy with the choice of narrators with this audiobook. I felt like they fit their characters really well which helped immensely in being entranced by the storyline! I hope you love this book just as much as I do! Enjoy!
Overall: 4.5/5
Spice: 4/5

Loves the rise and fall of the story - great narration and lovely to listen to.

Great listen

But I really enjoyed it. The narration was really good but I don't usually like the swapping from the male to the female....Don't know why they don't have the two narrators reading together....would make more sense...but it was well done with a great story..

New genre from this author for me

Really enjoyed the characters and the narration. The story moved at a perfect pace and never got bogged down just trying to pad it out. Looking forward to the next one.
