Summary

Blair

I had dreams. Big ones. And Dean Carter did everything in his power to help me achieve them.

Until we fell in love and everything fell apart. Now everyone thinks I tried to sleep my way to the top and I can’t say I blame them when the evidence points to exactly that.

However, looks can be deceiving....

Dean

Blair McKenzie is the definition of perfect. She’s crazy talented and hot as...well, you get the point. But aside from all that, she has heart and in this business, heart is hard to come by.

In a moment of weakness, I had a lapse in judgment and nearly cost her everything.

Now I need to do the right thing. Except it feels wrong.

Blair McKenzie has BIG dreams. I love her heart and aspirations!

Dean Carter was sexy as sin and definitely had my heart from the beginning. I loved these two together and hated the turmoil/backlash they received. I loved the chemistry and connection. I wanted to see things work out so bad! I mean I was completely Team Dean same as Blair, but I knew it was wrong. I wanted the connection between them but wished it was under different circumstances.

There was so much to these two besides just steam, there was a true connection and I was all about it! This was the first book I've ever read by this author and I was really thrilled to find a new author! Her writing is really good and draws you into the story.

Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber were sooo good! I loved them as Blair and Dean!

So good

What a book! I love to watch all the music talent shows on tv so this was a perfect choice for me. And when you add the drama and forbidden love to the mix it is perfect. This book will definitely pull on your heartstrings and with the epilogue I definitely need to get the next to see another great love story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are likable and easy to relate to. It is Blair McKenzie is in L.A with her friend Maddie, Blair is following her dreams and is in L.A. after a successful audition she won a spot on Breakout, a music reality show. Three judges wanted her on their team but she chose to be on Dean Carter’s team, her favorite musician and the one she was crushing on. Dean took a liking to her the moment he laid eyes on her, he knew he wanted her on his team. Amongst relationship and family drama there is drama amongst the contestants, especially trouble stirring Danielle. I liked how every thing plays out in this book, the story is fast moving and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, some heartfelt moments and a romance that could cause Blair to lose everything she dreamed of. Ryleigh Sloan, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber are fantastic narrators and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture the character’s emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Great Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

I know when I grab a Ryleigh Sloan book, I am in for hours of enjoyment. When I started this story, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Rockstar romances are all a little different. This one is right up my alley. I love to watch The Voice, and this simulates a reality TV show similar to that. Blair is live the dream and when she gets to pick her judge, she chooses the Dean Carter, the performer of her dreams. Dean see potential in Blair, but he is also attracted to her. The show forbids any romantic inclinations, so this season is going to be a tough one. Will they make it through undetected? Will their reputations survive? And will her live out her dream? It's funny, it's flirty, it's a little angsty(not too much) and a real good time. There are emotional tugs at your heart, and lessons of life to be learned. I love Sloan's writing, and can't wait to see what she has in store for Blair's friend Maddie next!

With a book like this and a powerhouse narration team of Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber, it's impossible not to fall in love! Mallon brings her all to Blair, giving her confidence and insecurity all at the same time. Her talent brings out Blair and we can feel her learn and grow through her time on the show. Webber is perfectly cast as Carter. A little arrogant, a lot swoony and his talent shows through with a personality befitting the judge. These two bring it all to life!

Love it!
