Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
I enjoyed this engaging story and the realistic and colorful characters. Β This is the seventh book in The Hearts of Metal series and each book is a standalone, although all the characters are interconnected. I not only connected with the two main characters, there also were many entertaining secondary characters as well.
This story is about Brand who plays with the heavy metal band Vicious. Brand is not happy when he learns Lexi, an established filmmaker is going to be touring with the band to make a documentary about them. Brand is sullen, hard to get to know and is known as the man who never smiles. He has demons from his past but he isnβt willing to share them with anyone. His only love is playing his guitar; it soothes his tortured soul. Brand is a good guy and he stole my heart as he slowly falls for Lexi. Brand canβt stop himself from watching Lexi as he tries to ignore his strong feelings for her. Β He is afraid to trust Lexi with his feeling or his secrets.
Lexi is excited to have the opportunity to film her favorite band while they are on tour. She doesnβt understand Brandβs bad attitude toward her and she has a hard time getting him to warm up to her for an interview. Β Lexi has learned to fight for what she wants as she tries to make it in the film industry. She is tough, kind, understanding and always professional. She wonβt let anyone and anything get in the way of her dreams.
As Brand and Lexi get to know each other they realize how much they have in common. They both have successful careers that they love and are highly regarded. I loved getting the behind the scenes look at the band while they are touring. Β This is an entertaining story about rock stars and the ups and downs of romance and falling in love. If you like rock star stories, I recommend HEART THROB.
