BLURB

The only thing music publicist Courtney Lincoln dislikes more than knock-off sugary breakfast cereal is the hunky lead singer of her brother’s ridiculously popular band. A band on the rocks, again. Seems like this time it’ll take a miracle to save Dimefront.

So, when she discovers she’s pregnant following one teeny, tiny, mind-blowing morning with Brennan “Bax” Baxter, the timing is not great. Being a mom wasn’t part of her plan, but her plans just changed. Following the implosion of his engagement, Bax realizes he doesn’t want to lose Dimefront, too. But he’s finally let his guard down with Courtney in a steamy slip-up that ties them together as unlikely co-parents. The big problem? He broke the cardinal rule of music - don’t knock up the bass player’s little sister. Especially a little sister who sees straight through the façade he’s painstakingly curated. But he’s always wanted a family, and he’s being offered that chance. Plus, Courtney might just be exactly who he needs to keep him grounded. Even if the band can mend fences, there’s a baby on the way, and Courtney’s questioning everything she once thought. Bax is suddenly a dreamy boyfriend, but she isn’t convinced it’s authentic given all she knows about his rocker past.

As the group heads out on what they hope is a reunion tour, Bax and Courtney have to figure out what’s real, what’s not, and if they can learn to finally trust each other....

REVIEW

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Surprise baby and rockstar romance? Yes please! After listening to Played by the Rock Star earlier this year, I have wanted to get Courtney's story and Christina Hovland did not disappoint! I thoroughly enjoy her writing style. It is sexy, funny and low angst. Her characters are well developed and easy to fall for! Courtney is the publicist for her brother’s band, Dimefront. Bax is the lead singer and after some bad PR, Courtney has been assigned to the job of laying low with Bax. One thing leads another and after a steamy hook-up they get much more than they bargained for with the news of Courtney's pregnancy.

This story provides a ton of laughs, emotion, feels and of course romance. There was never a dull moment from beginning to end of this story. The banter, dialogue, family drama and connection between Courtney and Bax kept me engaged in the storyline and not wanting to stop listening until I finished. Courtney and Bax, went through many growth spurts throughout their relationship. I loved every moment as they discover their feelings go beyond much more than a co-parenting relationship.

Overall, this is such a fun, easy listen. I have listened to Rose Dioro and Jason Clarke before, but had never heard them together and they were a great pairing for this story. Rose's range of voice is fantastic. Her storytelling is animated and fun and she absolutely nailed the vulnerable, emotional side to her character as well. Jason Clarke is one of my absolute favorites. His talent knows no bounds. No matter what character he plays, he always puts a fresh spin on his characters and rock star Jason is my new favorite.
