Beautiful & Emotionally Moving

What an amazing book. This well written read has a beautiful, emotionally moving story line. The characters are complex and engaging. Jess is such an amazing character and her story is sure to break your heart. Sean is a genuinely great guy that will have you feeling super swoony. Together these two create a couple that is perfect for each other, impossible not to fall in love with and make you wish with your whole heart for a HEA for them. This book does deal with hard issues and sensitive subjects and as such, just as is the case in real life things are very rarely simply black or white, but many shades of gray. Sometimes painful, sometimes poignant, sometimes sweet and sometimes heart melting, one thing I know for sure, this is a book that will leave a permanent mark on your heart. This book offers dual narration and the narrators truly hit it out of the park with this one. I thought the voices were a perfect match for the characters and this just helped take this audio book to the next level.

All The Feels!!!

I fell in love with Sean in Detour but I fell even harder in this incredibly emotional story. Derail is Sean & Jessica’s book. It’s unique, filled with challenges, heart wrenching pasts, and self doubts. But it’s also about trust and finding that one person that believes in you. And from that strength anything is possible. There are difficult themes in this book but 3UG’s just make everything perfect. You will love Sean’s sweet, patient friendship as much as the alpha, sexy, protective rock star! Jess is one of those people you instantly want as a friend. Her path to her healing and self-discovery is amazing to watch. It’s empowering and fierce. Jason Clarke (my favorite) and Emma Wilder bring this story to life and it’s incredible.

Woohoo...3UG y’all!!!

This book gives you the story of Three Ugly Guys bassist Sean Willis and how he falls for a woman who’s already taken. Jessica Moore has really low self esteem and puts up with her mostly verbally abusive bf, Coy. They moved from Denver to LA so that Coy can fulfill his dream of becoming the drummer for a band. Coy hits it big time by getting a temporary gig with 3UG while the drummer is in rehab. The chemistry between Sean and Jess is palpable from the moment they meet but she’s taken. I must admit that the verbal abuse was a bit difficult for me to read/listen to and I did have to take breaks. That said, this is a great story that addresses various types of abuse. Well written and narrated. Can’t wait for the next book!
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Another amazing listen!

Another winner from Kacey Shea, made even better by the perfect narration of Jason and Emma! You know it’s good when you can’t help but make a face when a character’s name is spoken, let alone appear. Jason brings Sean to life with his deep voice that lends itself to Sean’s broodiness while Emma captures Jess’s personality with her voice alone. I can’t wait for the next Off Track Records book!

Sizzling and Emotional Romance!

Derail continues to captivate in this sexy, and emotional rock-star romance. The members of the rock band, Three Ugly Guys, are once again in need of a drummer when Iz is sent to rehab. They hire Coy, a talented drummer who seems to gel seamlessly with their music. Coy brings his sweet, kind girlfriend, Jess, with him to move in with the band. Jess has a painful, dark past that makes her feel unworthy of real love. Coy found her at her lowest and she is grateful that he would rescue her. I was so excited to find out more about Sean after falling for him in the first book, Detour. He was so thoughtful, loyal, and protective, and now we got to see more of his loving side. There is something about Coy and his moral code that rubs Sean the wrong way right from the start. He is concerned about his new roommate. He can see the smart, beautiful, and resilient woman behind the walls Jess hides behind and wants to help her shine. But when she belongs to someone else, and lines are crossed, will it destroy the bad before they even start their tour? This is an emotional and heart-pounding story that took my breath away. It could be so sweet, and fun, yet also powerful and raw as it touched on several emotional topics with honesty and empathy.
Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder's narration was so moving as they brought these flawed characters to life. The way they portrayed Sean and Jess in all their strengths and vulnerabilities was so authentic and their chemistry was palpable. I loved listening to them both as they drew me in and made this story even more sizzling and exciting. I can't wait for more from 3UG!

Emotional, Sexy and Twisted!

This is the second book in the Off Track Records Series, an amazing Rock Star Romance. I love the 3 Ugly Guys Band! There is a lot going on in this story! Sean and Jess's journey is emotional, sexy, and twisted. At some point, it reminded me Pretty Woman. Jess's past is heartbreaking, and devastating. She is definitely a strong survivor. Sean is handsome, caring and protective. Their attraction is strong and beautiful. The storyline has some serious triggers like drug addiction, overdose, cheating, and abuse. Trent's mother is a wonderful character. I loved to see again Trent and Lexie. Austin is an intriguing character, and I would love to have his story. The supporting characters are great. Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder did an amazing job with the narration. They are perfect as Sean and Jess, and their voices together are amazing. They have a great range of voices, and the characters were easy to distinguish. You can listen to this audiobook as a standalone, but I highly recommend you to listen to the first book, Detour, before. Looking forward to listen to Hinder, the third book in the Series.

4.5 Devastatingly Beautiful Stars!!

Derail is book 2 in the Off the Track Records Series, and can be read as standalone as the rest of the series.

This book is about Sean and Jess's journey. The story is narrated and brought to life by Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder. Jason Clarke's performance is absolutely brilliant. He masterfully convey the thoughts and feelings from each character, especially perfectly capturing the intensity and overwhelming emotions coming from Sean Willis.

The storyline is captivating, heartwrenching, intriguing, raw, passionate, emotionally moving, and a times devastatingly sad because it wasn't just another fictitious story, in which everyone is almost perfect. I was hooked right from start, and I loved seen Sean's emotional vulnerability, his protectiveness, and his sweet side instead of finding the manwhore we may have expected him to be.

I was taken aback for the response of some member of the band towards one of their own. Everyone, with the exception of Sean got me screaming at them for not acting accordingly, and with compassion. I was expecting another outcome at the end, but the resolution got me crying my eyes out. (Expect the unexpected, no freaking kidding.)

Can't wait to start listening to the next story!!

🔥CREDIT WORTHY & THEN SOME!🔥

Kacey Shea continues to slay the rockstar romance trope with Derail. Captivating, achingly heartfelt, and completely passionate are just some of the things that make Sean and Jess’ story beyond fantastic and unmissable.

As if that wasn’t enough you have the two all-star narrators beginning the story to life. Emma Wilder and Jason Clarke are exceptional as Jess and Sean. They bring every facet of these complex and flawed characters to life along with every single emotion. So much so that I felt right along with these characters. Credit worthy and then some! 5 stars.
