Summary: 

Twentysomething Kat Reid is loving life as an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has absolutely no interest in rock ’n’ roll, but in order to pay the mortgage, she agrees to work on the set of a rock video for the world-famous rockers known as Bad Habit…which brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx, lead singer of Bad Habit and Adonis in the flesh.

However, the fiercely independent Kat isn’t impressed by the hard-living, womanizing rock star. But when Nico’s model girlfriend shows up to the set drunk and Kat is tapped to replace her as the video’s sexy bride, her combustible chemistry with Nico suddenly threatens to consume the set. Nico feels it, too—and becomes determined to win Kat over, body and soul. Yet behind his rock god swagger, Nico hides a dark secret. Can he rock Kat’s world forever, or will he just break her heart?

Review:

Yayy! Last book of this reading challenge! And look at that!!! Waaaay before the end of the year. ;)

Here we follow Kat Reid who is an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has seen the underbelly of the Hollywood and music world and she wants no real part in it, but she likes doing makeup and paying her bills. Last minute she is dragged into being in a rock video with Bad Habit. This brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx...the lead singer. She has no real interest (yes, he looks like a Greek God) but he is determined to make her his. 

I do not think I like rock stars. I've read a couple over the years and they aren't my favorite. Mmmmmm. 

I especially wasn't a huge fan of Nico. He is pushy and possessive. Oh and his temper? Eh. LOTS of red flags with this fella. Yes, he has trauma from his past and the secrets he's holding, but that doesn't excuse a lot of his behaviors. KAT RUUUUUUUN! That boy needs some serious help. I love a bad boy, but there were a lot of things that I didn't like. 

Kat also has some issues, but I wouldn't consider her a red flag. Her biggest thing is fear of commitment and people-pleasing. 

Some of the band mates seem okay. The next book is about one that also seems to have red flag vibes. I may stop while I'm ahead. 

The narrator did a good job. 

But yes....maybe not for me. The drama was fun but I couldn't really get past the worrisome red flags. 

2 stars.
