About this deal

Ellie is a really awesome heroine. She has so much spunk and doesn't take any crap. She genuinely cares and that is something that I love. She pushes Tate, but isn't a doormat. And, her relationship with her brother is awesome.

tate was really rude to ellie for the first half of the book and even though i knew why and kind of understood, it was just a bit too much for me to truly be able to excuse it. i mean, it wasn’t THAT bad, but like, he was pretty hurtful in a not-so-funny way sometimes and when it comes to someone i’m looking at with a relationship in mind? i have a zero tolerance, so that fact that it wasn’t ”THAT bad” is not enough for me. The grumpy, annoyingly sexy drummer of Perfectly Broken tilted her world once, but now spends his free time shooting her with dagger eyes. This is a sweet romance, it was refreshing not to have a bunch of naked scenes. Particularly when I find some things placed in them completely unsexy and want to gag. However, where is the balance. One scene with some passion would not hurt. Even implying the act and actions and not going into explicit detail would have been engaging. But when a member of Perfectly Broken drops out of a headlining tour, the studio scrambles to find a replacement. Their best option--Ellie. Book Genre: Adult, Clean Romance, Contemporary, Contemporary Romance, Fiction, Humor, Music, Musicians, New Adult, Romance

Ratings & Reviews

The mini-bad, is that I found this super angsty. As in, it felt really angsty and overwrought. The pacing also felt a little clunky. Tate and Ellie went from having real communicating issues to sorting it out like overnight. This in itself wasn't bad per se, I'm just listing why I enjoyed this less than the first installment in the series. The love/hate relationship in this book is one of the best enemies to lovers tropes out there. I love how they really want each other, but Tate has his walls so high up. But, he can't help but fall for Ellie. I enjoyed him as a swoony book boyfriend. He is extremely sweet and is such a big teddy bear. I love how he cares for Ellie. I will say Vi is definitely one of my favorite of the women, I definitely respect her character. Vi stood up for herself and never let her shyness be an exuse to accept mistreatment and always reminded herself of her self-worth. Perfect for readers who love a good mix of sweet and sizzle, toe-curling kisses, swoony book boyfriends, and a happily ever after. For her part, Ellie is also drawn to Tate, and doesn't understand why he treats her the way he does as she would like it if it was different. The great thing was despite all these feelings, she never feels like she has to put up with Tate's treatment because she's attracted to him, and her friends also don't suggest she overlooks his treatment because of this same attraction.

h) was set to be married in two days, until everything goes downhill and she discovers that her fiance married her step-sister instead. All out of funds and nowhere to live, her brother has the bright idea of calling his best friend 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐞 (H) to help her out of the situation. She has always had this love hate relationship with him and are each other’s safety nets when they need someone to confide in. When they rekindle their friendship now that they are roommates, old feelings and memories resurface. But when a member of Perfectly Broken drops out of a headlining tour, the studio scrambles to find a replacement. Their best option: Ellie. the pacing felt a bit off to me somehow? if you’d ask me, i wouldn’t really be able to tell you how i think it should’ve been, but i feel like at some point it did feel a bit rushed (it is a quite short book so i guess that’s to be expected? idk) Parker Knight, the ball player, has a story coming out in April and I’ll probably read it just to see how he’s finally tamed. I also dearly hope Noah get his love story, too. (There’s no way I can see him ending up Briar. My money is on him and Marti meeting and falling for each other. I think he needs someone fun like her by his side.) I would definitely read a book about Noah. Tate has issues that he's somewhat working through and it bothers him that he's drawn to Ellie. Rather than confront these feelings, he's essential mean and rude to Ellie to keep her offside (real mature).In reality, I would give this 2.5 stars, but Good Reads only allows me to give whole stars, so I rounded down. The secondary characters are awesome. I loved seeing Bridge and Alexis get together. You get to see more of the band. The family dynamic between the characters is awesome. I can't wait for the next story in the series. It was longer then it needed to be but not to a point where I couldn't finish or grew weary of the characters.. HEA on many fronts and her storylines are cute and fun. I want to read more about their brother and his intern. Her segways leading to next book are exciting. Couldn't wait to read about Tate and Ella. Vienna Shaw doesn't do risky, edgy, or anything on the wild side. She's the woman who thinks The Goonies is a horror movie and lives for Austen-era romance novels. She has no idea why, and she certainly doesn’t care. The kiss was a mistake, and she’s over it. She’ll just keep avoiding him and wooing his best friends and bandmates until he’s red in the face.

It wasn't as exciting as I pictured but it was good. You really get to know the characters. If there were more passion it would have been rated higher. Not of the sexual naked nature but implied or more want for one another physically. I appreciate that the story is a clean story, but I felt like maybe there could have been just a bit more detail included to show the couple was moving forward in their relationship. I kind of felt like all of a sudden it was implied they were sleeping in the same bed, but no confirmation of anything. Maybe I missed it, who knows?So, when a night out of her comfort zone ends up in a nightmarish elevator, all the risks she never took spill to the stranger in the corner: actually see The Goonies, ride a rollercoaster, and get that heart-melting kiss people will write books about.
