BLURB:
An obsessed fan is the last person I should trust. But when he becomes the band’s hair and makeup guy, I can’t escape this dangerous attraction, even when it threatens to take the whole band down with us.
Shawn
Three cheating ex-boyfriends have cured me of any desire to trust another person, but it’s hard not to notice the guy who comes to every single Baptism Emperor show, his eyes always fixed on me. I’ve never spoken to him, not until he suddenly becomes the band’s hair and makeup guy.
When the distance between us disappears, a sizzling attraction takes its place. There’s no denying the sparks, but I absolutely can’t hook up with an obsessed fan, especially because the band needs me to pretend to date a woman. It’s important for our image, they say, and I have no good reason to say no — even as I keep running back to Terrance.
Terrance
Working for my favorite band is my dream job. I can’t believe I can get so close to people I’ve admired for years and years. Shawn, the guitarist, was always the one who caught my eye, and now he’s sitting in my makeup chair, my hands buried in his hair.
When he invites me somewhere more private, it’s completely surreal, but I’m definitely not going to say no to my dream guy. Sure, he’s aloof and mysterious, but he must have his reasons.
Even when I see pictures of him and some girl, I figure there has to be an explanation. Either way, when he invites me back for more, I’m too weak to say no to the man I’m obsessed with.
Wild Infatuation is an MM rockstar romance with a fan/rockstar relationship, spicy open door scenes, a fake dating plot and sunshine/grumpy opposites. Go to linktr.ee/faraywrites for CWs and more.
REVIEW:
Wow, what a fantastic story. I love getting to read a new to me author. Full disclosure – I only read book three of this series and I should’ve read the other two books first. Mostly because characters from the previous books were prominently mentioned throughout this book. That being said, you can read this story as a standalone. But I highly recommend picking up the first two books in the Rebel Rockstars series.
Brilliant worldbuilding in this book. Which I thought was especially great, since I didn’t read the first books. There was enough of a recap and expansion of the series universe that I felt right at home in this story. Not to mention, I live near Seattle, WA, so I find it really fun when someplace I’ve been, is used as the backdrop for a story.
I found there was great detail and depth to not only the main characters, but the side characters as well. In this story we have Terrance and Shawn. Terrance is a super fan of Shawn’s band Baptism Emperor. The trials and tribulations F.A. put these guys through, is impressive. But it really seems to capture the essence of life with a rock star. Not only do we get a wonderful feeling for our main characters, but F.A. doesn’t skimp on the side character details either.
This story is so well written. There was a great recap of the previous storyline, so I didn’t feel lost over the course of the book. I’m always ready for a great rock n roll story. This one has low amounts of angst, super sexy times, and great characters. Will Shawn come out to his band mates? Will Terrance forgive Shawn? You know I’m not going to tell you. You know what to do if you want to find out the answers to these and many more questions.
I highly recommend this book and series. You all need to run right out and snatch this book up from your favorite eBook purchasing site. Especially if you want a fun grumpy/sunshine story that includes some fake dating. I’ve found a new to me favorite author. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Til next time …
