Deep by Kylie Scott
Stage Dive #4
March 31st 2015 by St. Martin's Griffin

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?

The release date is still far away but I am so thrilled about Deep! This series truly are some the best rockstar books that I have ever read. Personally I'm a Mal girl but I've always been so curious about Ben and I can't wait to read his and Lizzy's story. FUCKYEAHBEN!

And one of these days I will buy all the books in print version for obvious reasons. ;)

Review copy provided in exchange for an honest review.

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.

Oh my hotness, I love Jimmy! Not as much as Mal but still... damn! This was a great great great book. As always with a Stage Dive book I read it in no time. There's something about the way Kylie Scott writes, that makes me want to keep reading until I have finished the story. I loved it.

I love Lena. I really liked reading about her. She was funny, clever, witty and (almost) never at a loss for words. I also liked how in the prologue we found out how exactly she got the job with Jimmy. After that the story jumps forward two months and I think that's great. I liked that Lena and Jimmy knew each other for a while and weren't strangers or anything. It's different from the other books in that way.

And Jimmy? What can I possibly say about him. We met this huge drugged-boozed up jerk in Lick but he made such a change since he got sober. You just can't help but feel for him and everything he went through not only with his addiction but also in his childhood. No wonder he's so closed off to anyone. He's (after Mal) my favorite Stage Dive member. Reading this book about him was fantastic and not to mention hot. Yeah, Kylie Scott can write some very sexy scenes (even though we had to wait a bit for the juicy stuff to happen...).

I have to say, though, that I enjoyed it a lot more than Lick and I enjoyed it a little bit less than Play. But it's still an entertaining, enjoyable and steamy read!

Favorite Quotes

Jimmy Ferris as an illegal, dangerous, controlled substance. Funnily enough, I could see it. The man affected me on all the levels no matter how much I tried to resist, damn it.

He smiled at me, he actually double dimple smiled at me. Crap. Not only did my knees weaken but my toes curled it was so stunning, star shine and moonbeams couldn't compare. Unicorns could take a flying fuck.

Review: Play by Kylie Scott

Title: Play
Author: Kylie Scott
Series: Stage Dive #2
Publication: March 25th 2014 by St. Martin's Griffin
Genre: New Adult 
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | Kobo | All-Romance
Cover Rating: 5/5 (Hot damn!)
Overall Rating: 5/5

Readers the world over fell in love with sexy drummer Mal in Kylie Scott’s first Stage Dive novel. Fiction Vixen gushed, "Mal is one of my favorite parts of the book" while Mandi at SmexyBooks called him “a total smart ass and I’m already in love with him.” Now, Kylie Scott is back, and this time it’s bad-boy Mal’s turn to fall in love.

The drummer in a wildly successful rock band, Mal’s never had trouble with the ladies. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sexy as hell with a wicked sense of humor. But as much as Mal loves his ladies, romance and happily-ever-after just isn’t in his set of cards. Until one night, Mal meets the woman of his dreams. But can this cynical rocker ever trust in love?

"What I need is a girlfriend... well, a pretend girlfriend, and you, Anne Rollins, are perfect.

First a quick history lesson... I read Lick, the first Stage Dive book a few months before and it wasn't bad but I didn't love it either. It was a very okay three star read for me. So that's been the reason why I waited this long to start reading Play. And shame on me. SHAME ON ME FOR THAT! I should've read it sooner and I really regret it now because I loved Play to bits and pieces!

MAL! Oh god, how do I even begin to describe him or my love for him. He's my ultimate rockstar wet dream. Not only is he unbelievably sexy,  he also has a sensitive side in him. And of course he's freaking hilarous. I mean just look at some of the quotes below—I can't even... 
He was quite the hyper active person. I was getting exhausted just reading about him (in a good way). He sure was a lot of work. AND he's the drummer of Stage Dive. I loooooove drummers! So basically he's perfect. He really is. And damn, he was fantastic in this book! I couldn't get enough of reading about him. I even had to stop myself from reading at some points because it was getting really late. It was getting out of control, seriously. Don't you just love books like that?

"Life’s a song, Anne. Let’s play." 

Not only did I enjoy this book because of Mal—although he was a big, big, big part of it—I also genuinely liked Anne, which came as a bit of a surprise to me. I loved her voice and inner thoughts. She was pretty funny too. I also liked the way she was concerned for a little sister and the way she could handle Mal. I mean, seriously, not a lot of people can handle Mal. He's... Mal.

Of course not the whole book was fun and games. There were some pretty glum parts and scenes where I was feeling really sad but it gave the story a little more of the depth that I was looking for in Lick. It's always nice to see a book or series getting better, especially if it's #2 in a series since you don't often see that. I loved it.

Good god, this man had energy to spare like he snorted sugar.

We also saw some more about the characters we got to know in Lick like Evelyn and the other Stage Dive members. It was kind of nice seeing them again, seeing how they're living now. Also the premise for the next two Stage Dive books was definitely set already with soms things in Play. Very nice done, I'd say!

Overall, Play by Kylie Scott was a perfect sequel to Lick. Even more so, I enjoyed it loads more than the first book... Kylie Scott definitely has won me over with her Stage Dive series. I couldn't get enough of it, loved it, was so engrossed in it... I couldn't have asked for a better book! And I'm definitely looking forward to Jimmy's story in Lead! Bring it on, baby!

Favorite Quotes:

"Hello, Anne’s clitoris. It’s me, Malcolm, your lord and master.”
“Oh, god, no.” I covered my face with my hands. “Please don’t.”
“Shh. This is a private conversation.” He brushed hot, feverish kisses up and down the lips of my sex. My stomach tensed so hard it hurt. “Look at you all pretty, pink, and excited. Don’t worry, I’ll look after you."

"Stick your dick in’?” I asked, my brows probably touching. “Did you actually just say that?”
“Make love. I meant make love … of course. I would never just stick my dick in you. I would make mad, passionate love to this sweet, sweet body of yours for days, no, weeks. It would be beautiful, pumpkin. There’d be little angels, and birdies, and you know … all just hanging around, watching. Perverts."

Life could be a strange and beautiful thing sometimes. Other times it was just a disaster. But sometimes beauty won out.

Gifted to me by Christina @ Booksane - Thanks, girl!

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.

I love rockstar books. I haven't read many of these types of books, but the ones I have read were quick, entertaining and fun. Lick wasn't an exception. It wasn't the best book ever, but I liked it. It also made me laugh (out loud) many times, which is always a plus. I will definitely read the next books. 

Lick had a few flaws, which is why I couldn't give it more than 3 stars. 3.5 at the highest actually. I just had a few problems with the main character and plot. Evelyn (main character) didn't have any debt as far as I was concerned. She was nice enough, I guess, but I just couldn't connect with her. The plot was a bit obvious. I knew pretty early on where it was going to go. I've read it so many times before in other books. I had hoped it would go a little differently this time around. Also, I wanted to know all that had happened in Vegas. I was hoping for some flashbacks but we really didn't get anything like that, which was too bad.

But aside from all that, I liked the book. I liked David, although I think he needs to manage his anger and jealously more. But other than that, he was a pretty likable character. Not my favorite though. That was one of David's band members, the drummer (no surprise there), Mal. I loved him. He was hilarious and fun. Lucky for me the next book is about him, so I can't wait to read that!

The writing was pretty good too. It flowed quickly and was easy to read. Lick was one of those books that you don't mind picking up and keep reading because it was such an entertaining book. I'm looking forward to the next one! Go Stage Dive!

Favorite Quotes:

"I feel your manpain, bro. Really, I do. I mean, all you wanted was a girl that wouldn't kiss your ass for once and now you're pissed at her for the same damn reason. It's complicated, right?"

"Seriously, I fucking love your wife, man. She's awesome. Can I have her?"

"Love isn't always smooth or straightforward. It can be messy and painful, he said. "Doesn't mean it isn't still the most incredible thing that can ever happen to you. Doesn't mean I'm not crazy about you."
