review 1: **I received this book from Netgalley for my honest review***Rafe is Melanie’s old boss. She left his employment because she had fallen head over heels in love with him. She moved to a job in a coffee shop just to get away from him and from the knowledge that he would never be hers and that her love, in her mind, would never been returned.One day, Rafe drops by and asks Melanie why did she quit her job working for him. Melanie just was not sure what to say-that she was so in love with him but he didn’t love her and oh he had fallen in love with her best friend Jessica who was marrying his brother Dane.As the story progresses , you find out that Rafe used to be the lead singer in a band and went by the name “Storm”. Well his band is back out on the road and Melanie ... morewas asked to travel with the band as a roadie after she lost her job as a barista.Melanie finds she is attracted to Rafe as well as Travis and Diego. After finally getting to have a magical night with Rafe, Rafe tells Melanie he doesn’t want a relationship and just wants friends with benefits relationship. Melanie is devastated. After deciding to let go and look for a man who will give her the relationship, which looks to be Travis , Rafe realized that he doesn’t want Travis around her. ( as you are reading this story, there is a backstory regarding Travis and his hidden agenda regarding his hate for Rafe).This is such a twisted woven story of love regarding Rafe and Melanie. I highly recommend reading it.My Rating: 5 stars ****

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I liked the internal strugglesthat both Rafe and Melanie have to go through. It was definitely a very hot book. Fair warning it does have a veryhot four some scene. I will definitely be looking to read more books from this author. I found this book hard to putdown. I was hooked right from the beginning. I really enjoyed watching Rafe come into the role that both him andMelanie wanted. It seemed to be a real struggle for him to get to that point. I definitely recommend reading.‘Read and Reviewed by LSK Sweetheart Reviews’ less
