About this listen

Contains mature content. 17+ only!

Please note! Portions of this audiobook have previously appeared in the serial novel Rock Arrangement.

Chronic loser Rebecca Alton is penniless, homeless, and sleeping on her sister’s couch. She needs a job, fast, but in this economy finding one is easier said than done. When she accidentally walks into the wrong office and finds herself auditioning for the role of fake girlfriend and very real babysitter to Carter Hudson, the out-of-control lead guitarist of an up and coming rock band, can she pull it off? And considering who her boss would be - Carter's brother and the band’s bassist, manager, and undisputed king of bad attitudes Kent Hudson - would she even want the job?

Rebecca isn’t sure. In fact, she’s not sure of much in her life, except three things: Kent wants her, she wants him back, and the underlying animal attraction between them may be too white-hot to keep under wraps.

I the narrator put me of my first attempt on this series but I like the storyline to much to give up. Great characters who are all flawed but we watch them grow without miraculous cures.

Horrible narrator but great story

The heroine took me in from the very beginning with her energy. Her story and the way they meet endears her to you, along with the witty flirtatious banter between Rebecca and Carter. The two are immediately drawn to each other, and of course there's yummy sex scenes, but then the friendships between Rebecca and the entire band grow stronger still. This is well written. Unfortunately, it was not well narrated. Id recommend reading the ebook - you will enjoy it more.

Oh, and the song that Carter writes for Rebecca... sigh, so beautiful.

I review for the Guilty Indulgence Review Site.

What does Crystal Sershen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Crystal was great, it was how she was able to act out each character to bring them to life!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

When Rebecca and Carter on bonded and when Rebecca told her story. The funny part was when in the beginning when she was looking for the job interview. Also, when Rebecca got high in the van. The other scene when they were filming their music video Rebecca and Kent romantic scene.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for #2!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Hard Rock Arrangement to be better than the print version?

no. Quite the opposite.

What did you like best about this story?

it was fun, engaging and fast paced. My hour commute flew by!

How could the performance have been better?

a less "Siri" sounding narrator. How can a pretentious and robotic voice be used to depict a rock and roll bartender, rockstar girlfriend. I almost quit listening 2 chapters in because of the narrator

Great story, terrible narrator

This book had so much potential. I really liked the storyline and the characters. I think it was well written and could have been up there with Olivia Cunning but the narrator Crystal Sershen killed it. She draws out all the endings in her words and her male voices sounded painful not sexy. If this book was narrated by another author, it would have been much better. I would listen to this author again as long as the narrator is changed. Rebecca was funny and quirky and I loved her cleaning OCD moments. Carter is funny and immature and Kent is stern and authoritative. I think the chemistry was great and the plot twists with ex-lovers was awesome. This was not just about a rocker on tour and that made for interesting reading. I don’t want to give any storyline away but the scene with Jason in the hotel was great and so deserved. LMAO. Please, Please, Please get another narrator. Happy I took the chance because the story was good.

Hot Rockers that the Narrator Killed!

Yes the narrator was the best and the book had all my fav things. The one liners were very funny and the steamy scenes were unusually well done. Not raunchy they were....well hot l.

Any additional comments?

I should have paid heed to the reviewers who warned about the bad performance of this book, instead, I was swayed by the reviews which were complimentary of the performance and the positive reviews of the story. I am normally quite a tolerant listener and accepting of various performance styles but this performance had no redeeming features. Listening to this performance was like listening to nails being continuously scraped along a blackboard. I only persevered after I found that increasing the speed made listening tolerable; that's the only way that I could finish the story. Otherwise the story and characters were quite entertaining once you found a way around their mangled voices. The performer manages to sound both monotonic and overly expressive by spitting out and gargling words without respect to proper phrasing, timing or expression. The inventive or unorthodox stress on the wrong syllables in the words in the text is astounding.
Sorry if that sounds harsh but such is the frustration that this performance evoked in me.

Shocking narration!

I was captivated right from the beginning with this heroine and her story. It starts with an interesting character and an energy that I have found missing from so many of these modern "bad boy" romances. There's plenty of the hot and graphic sex that one comes to expect from these modern stories, but Carter Husdon and Rebecca Alton are interesting individuals who who engage in humorous and witty dialogue. The story begins with a classic misunderstanding as Rebecca goes to the wrong room to apply for what she thinks is a maid's job but which really is the PA tor Carter, lead guitarist to an up and coming rock band. As Rebecca looks around the room and compares her tube top and shabby jacket with the dark suits of other candidates, she realizes she's in trouble, and thus the humor begins. Carter's interview with these candidates is a riot. The two are immediately drawn to each other, and Rebecca proves herself to be an important source of help and inspiration to the whole band. When trouble arises for Rebecca, she finds out how the band and Carter really feel about her. Look for the song that Carter writes for Rebecca...gorgeous.

Lots of humor, Hot sex,and a touching story,
