Summary

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull - but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.

When she laughed - and I mean, really laughed - I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks”. Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

After reading every book in the Faraday/Morgan/Rivers collection this didn’t disappoint and I’m left with that empty feeling after being so immersed in a book world!

I have listened to so many audio books with rockstars lately and though it would be cool to hear the music but understood the extra production costs. I was pleasantly surprise music and singing was included in this story, it really enhanced the listening experience. tanks for goimg the extra mile, you guys rocked it!

Cute love story, great narration. A little too quick without much buildup or drama for me - not really friends to lovers - but still an enjoyable listen.

Cute and cosy
