Excerpt: Deep (Stage Dive #4) by Kylie Scott

Don't miss a beat with the fourth and final novel in the USA Today bestselling Stage Dive series from Kylie Scott.

Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.

Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?

His laughter, it didn’t really sound the smallest bit amused. “Christ. You’re done here.”

“Ah, no. I’m actually not. Now see, this is where we have a problem.” I folded my arms. Then unfolded them because like fuck I’d look defensive. He was the one in the wrong, not me. “You’re not prepared to take me, or my feelings, seriously. What you want is to hide away in Mr. Too Cool for Commitment land and just play with my affections when it suits you. Okay, I’ve accepted that. But none of that means it’s okay for you to come in here and act like you’re the boss of me. None of it.”

“That so?” he asked, leaning down so that we were almost nose to nose.

“That’s so, baby.” I play-punched him in the shoulder, which it should be noted, I barely came up to. Okay, so maybe the alcohol on a mostly empty stomach had made me slightly/lots braver/sillier. “So why don’t you take your little caveman jealous tantrum bullshit somewhere else. See, I do this funny thing I like to refer to as whatever the fuck I want. Understand?”

He just stared.

“And as pretty as you are with your beard and your muscles, you are too damn tricky and . . . complicated and shit for me.”

“I am?”

“Yes, you are. Are you finally seeing my point here?”

“You bet.”

“Excellent. So take your hotness elsewhere, kind sir. I want no part of it!” Huh. I had so told him. Drunken bravado was the best.

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas's plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man in her room, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is certain, being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.

Review: Lead (Stage Dive #3) by Kylie Scott

The lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it whether it's booze or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself stuck with a new assistant hired by the record company to keep him out of trouble. He doesn't need or want a babysitter. Especially one that looks like Lena.

Lena's not willing to take any shit from the sexy rocker she's been hired to assist and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite the sizzling chemistry that sparks between them every time they're in the same room. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing to ever happen to him. Readers won't want to miss the third book in this New Adult series about ordinary young women who fall in love with rock stars.

To say this was one of my most anticipated releases of this year, is putting it mildly. Thanks to Lick and Play, this series is one of my must reads and Lead only confirmed it even further. Other women might have gone crazy over Jimmy, but Mal holds my heart. Still to me Jimmy was always more in the background, despite being the frontman and I never paid really much attention to him. So I had no idea what to expect about, though knowing it's Kylie Scott I knew it would be awesome and it is!

I don't want to say too much about the plot, because a lot of unexpected things happen and I want to keep it a surprise for you. It's way more fun to go in almost blind, that just makes it more fun. As usual we get amazing characters, hilarious spats and smoldering scenes.

What I like most about this series is how unique each character's' voice is. Their personalities are so different, you don't get that feeling of reading the same story again and again, which often happens in series. It's not just that, it's also their looks and their struggles. Each time we get to read something new. That all makes it so refreshing and I tried to savor it, but I just can not pace myself.

Jimmy was definitely not the most likeable character out there. He reminded me a bit of a porcupine, every time you get too close his spines would go up. The guy isn't easy to love and he actually puts in effort to make people not like him. Which is a bit sad of course, though he does try to do the right thing once in a while. It's clear he's not much of a people person and it seems he's not used to certain common manners. He is hot, though that's certainly no excuse. To me it seemed that Jimmy wasn't really happy with himself and therefore had trouble believing that anybody who really knew him, couldn't possibly love him. More in the fact that he didn't believe he could return such love.

Lena is kickass. Talk about a strong female character. This girl has a mind of her own and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Getting a job a sober companion might not have been what she had in mind, but she makes the best of it. Though living so closely with a rockstar, who has an attitude problem, definitely isn't the easiest. I really liked how they would often butt heads, Jimmy can definitely bring out the worst in people. Though it's not just that. Spending so much time with him, has her seeing this other side of him. Lena knows she shouldn't, her heart has been broken enough, but there is no arguing with love.

There were times when I had trouble coming to terms with what Jimmy did or said, though I liked that Lena wasn't that easy in her forgiving. Jimmy had to work for it and I loved it. Mr. Bigshot had to learn the art of begging and it was awesome. Honestly I'm so in love with this entire series and all these characters. I do not quite comprehend how someone can come up with all of this, but Kylie Scott is total awesomesauce.

Review: Play (Stage Dive #2) by Kylie Scott

Kylie Scott returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to international bestseller Lick.

Mal Ericson, drummer for the world famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast—at least for a little while. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job just fine. Mal doesn’t plan on this temporary fix becoming permanent, but he didn’t count on finding the one right girl. Anne Rollins never thought she’d ever meet the rock god who plastered her teenage bedroom walls—especially not under these circumstances. Anne has money problems. Big ones. But being paid to play the pretend girlfriend to a wild life-of-the-party drummer couldn’t end well. No matter how hot he is. Or could it?

Oh Mal, how I love thee. Play was such a surprising read. I liked Lick, but wasn't blown away by it. This one though, is definitely something different. Seriously it had me laughing out loud so often I might have pulled a muscle.

Mal though, be still my rapid beating heart. That man. *sigh* It is obvious he is hiding something, but you don't feel the need to pry. The words that come out of his mouth are hilarious and you have no idea if he's serious or not. Most of the time he is, still you don't dare to believe it is so ridiculous sometimes.

When he invades Anne's life, she pretty much has no other choice than to just go with it. Mal's an unstoppable force. Anne will never deny the attraction she feels for this drummer rock star, though at first it is more an agreement of convenience. He needs a nice fake girlfriend and she needs some money. Neither of them expected it to turn into anything more.

I honestly would be able to talk about Mal all day long, saying how awesome he is, how he is funny, sexy, gorgeous, energetic, crazy... He is not perfect, because when it comes to the serious sad things he tends to shut down. Though slowly, mostly thanks to Anne, he learns how to open up more.

Anne really had no idea what was going to happen to her life when she met Mal. She liked living the quiet predictable life. Since he has shown up, there hasn't been a dull moment. He certainly keeps her life entertaining. Her down to earth character is perfect to counter balance his craziness. These two are made for each other.

Play was such a fun and entertaining read. I really fell in love with the characters, though mostly with Mal. His craziness and energy kept the story going. The plot was not the most original, but it was interesting enough and I was so caught up in it all that the world around me just disappeared. I recommend this book to everyone! Seriously, there is no reason why you should not read this book.
