So when she lands herself the unusual job of helping bridge the gap between a band and their fans she is all for the challenge. She just never expect one of those people to be superstar hottie musician Brayden. But will Brayden be able to convince Isabella to take a chance on him or will this just be a short lived romance?
I love a good musical romance and this was definitely a different take on this trope, one that I highly enjoyed! I loved the sassy banter that Brayden and Isabella. Their steamy chemistry was evident right from their first meeting. It was super cute getting to see these two find their way to their happily ever after.
I loved that Brayden was not your normal over the top bratty rock star and that he respected and appreciated everyone that he worked with. I really like that both Brayden and Isabella took their work life very seriously and didn’t let their attraction overshadowed their work. I absolutely adored Isabella with all her sassy comments and well of optimism. These two played of each other perfectly with Isabella helping pushing Braydon out of his comfort zone.
Layla Hagen did not disappoint with this sizzling romance that had me flipping the pages frantically wanting to know what happens with Isabella and Brayden. This is definitely one you should add to your TBR!
