A sexy, rock star, marriage of convenience romance by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

Jase Gizmodo is the wild card of the world-famous band BENT. He drums like a legend, lives like a rebel, and attracts headlines like a magnet. But when his recklessness causes a no-nonsense judge to threaten the band's upcoming international tour, he needs a quick fix—and proof that he’s settling down might just do the trick.

Enter Hendrix Wright. Cookie queen. Small business owner. And barely hanging on. Her dream bakery is on the brink of closing its doors thanks to her ex’s betrayal, and she needs a miracle. Who knew a chance meeting with a charming, enigmatic, and incredibly sexy stranger in a coffee shop would change all that?

So when that stranger, Jase, offers her a deal—a temporary marriage for the cameras in exchange for the money to save her bakery—Hendrix should run. Fast. But instead, she finds that the more time they spend faking wedded bliss, the more real their chemistry feels.

Because falling for a rockstar was never part of the plan.

But surrendering? That might be the sweetest risk of all.

Still not convinced? The audiobook narration by Ryan Lee Dunlap and Amy Hall is phenomenal. They brought every emotion (pain, love, fear, humor) to life. Every beat felt real.

Hendrix and Gizmo’s connection is undeniable. From the jump, they assume they’ve got each other figured out, but they’re just scratching the surface. Hendrix is dealing with a toxic ex; Gizmo’s still weighed down by a mistake from over a year ago. They need each other more than they realize.

Can we talk about the Vegas wedding for a second? It was absolute perfection! The kind of wedding I’ve always imagined for myself. From the location to Elvis to that unforgettable night after. It had me grinning and kicking my feet from the start.

Gizmo has never felt chosen. He’s used to being the one pushed aside, so he’s built walls. He tests people to prove they’ll eventually leave. Hendrix, burned in the past, has built her life around independence and self-reliance. When these two collide, it’s intense. Yes, there’s miscommunication, but it’s not about just not communicating, it’s about hearing each other but not realizing how much more sits behind the words.

My heart ached for them more than once, but watching them slowly figure it out, learning to show up for each other, even when one foot’s out the door, that’s the kind of emotional groundwork that real, lasting love is built on.

This was my first read in the series and it totally works as a standalone, but now I’m dying to go back and read book one. I cannot wait for the next book!

Thank you, K. Bromberg and Valentine_PR for the ALC.

Hendrix Wright is barely holding on to her dream bakery because of her cheating boyfriend and business partner. Bad boy drummer, Jase Gizmodo, seems to be a magnet for scandalized behavior. Due to all his scrapes with the law, a judge is holding Jase's passport for ransom which threatens their popular band from embarking on their upcoming international tour. His brother, who is also his lawyer, tells Jase he needs to turn his reputation around fast. When his brother suggests he get married to prove to the judge that he's settled down, Jase recalls the chance encounter in a coffee shop where he overheard a phone conversation between Hendrix and her ex. She begrudgingly agrees, and the more time Hendrix spends around Jase, the more she realizes how different he is from his reckless public persona. She challenges him in the best ways and looks out for him like no one has, aside from his band mates.
I loved these two and the way they took care of and watched out for one another. Jase has been through so much, and I loved that he found his person! Narrator, Ryan Lee Dunlap did a fantastic job bringing out the playful side of Jase as well as his tormented side when he talked about his family. Amy Hall brought out Hendrix's teasing and vulnerable sides as well. Only thing that would have made it better was hearing Giz's song at the end!

Oh. My. God. I couldn't put this book down. I read and listened to it. It was a beautiful story. It was NOT what I thought it was going to be, I saw Rockstar and ended up with this sweet, sweet man. Rough around the edges, but sometimes you just need someone to melt you back together ❤️ I'm only sad I didn't start with the first book. Now I'm going back to the beginning!

TEARS!!!

I didn’t expect this. Nice heartfelt story of learning to love and accept love. Both characters had love and trust issues but they figured it out. Nice to listen to a story where the author doesn’t make each character go over the top. There were issues but the talked it out and moved on

Okay WOW. This wasn’t just a rockstar romance with top-tier spice (although the spice absolutely delivered 🔥) …it had depth and heart.

Jase Gizmodo is the walking headline every band manager fears and every reader secretly wants. He’s a whole mess in leather pants, but lord is he endearing. Hendrix Wright is the cookie queen and small business owner barely keeping it together. Their chemistry was INSTANT, but it’s the emotional connection that surprised me most.

Amy Hall and Ryan Lee Dunlap were phenomenal! They brought so much life to these characters. You could feel every emotion and every smoldering look like it was happening in real-time. Total immersion.

This book felt like comfort and chaos in the best way! A warm, heartfelt story layered with emotional depth, healing, and just the right amount of heat. Highly recommend. 🫶🏽
Special thanks to Vpr & K. Bromberg for this complimentary audiobook!

When I saw this marriage of convenience story with a rockstar and baker, it definitely piqued my interest. Add in that I love K. Bromberg and her writing. I always fall into these worlds she creates and just want to stay there. This book is the same!

Jace (Gizmo) is the drummer of a popular band and needs help! He causes too much trouble and may be in danger of not going on tour with his band. When he meets the eyes of a woman who grabs his interest, he isn't quick to let her slip through his fingers. I swooned over this man. And I loved the way that Hendrix didn’t back down! She held her ground, and she had so much fire in her.

When I started this audio, I was hooked from the first words. Ryan Lee Dunlap and Amy Hall bring this book to life with dual narration. I loved Amy's voice. It had a little rasp to it that made it perfect for Hendrix. And Ryan may hit the list of favorites for me. He has a smooth voice that captures your attention.
I really enjoyed this story, but I am so glad I listened to the audio. It was an experience!
