Pick your favorite rumor about JC Trenton: flirty guitar god, teenage prodigy, the guy who imploded before hitting mega stardom. Truth is? He’s all of them. And thirteen years after vanishing from the spotlight, JC remains rock & roll’s sexiest enigma.
I’m Gia Barlow—a spitfire singer with a five-year plan to rule the charts. Six months ago, my guitarist bailed, and I persuaded JC to join my band. Temporary and totally professional. Simple, right?
Except now I’m falling hard for the man and his music.
JC wrote a new song I’m desperate to record, but he won’t give it up. So I dare him: whoever taps out first on our European tour loses. If I cave? He keeps the song. If he breaks? It’s mine.
Trouble is, all I want is for both of us to lose.
But somewhere between the riffs and our high-voltage chemistry, neither of us wrote the encore that’s about to change everything.
My Cherry Duet is a full-length, rockstar romance starring two sonic soulmates. Expect banter, steam, and beautifully messy characters searching for perfect harmony. While this happily ever after stands alone, it takes on new depth when you read My Grape Crush.
Gia’s band needed a guitarist and somehow, some way, she was able to talk the JC Trenton into filling in on the tour. This is pinch-me-I’m-dreaming levels of amazing, considering the rock god walked away from the spotlight at the height of his career, leaving the fans wanting more and wondering why even after all these years. They become fast friends, but the tension is palpable, though they both do their best to ignore it.
JC is tortured by his past and the choices he’s made. He lives with regret and in fear of repeating his mistakes so the last thing he should do is get cozy with Gia Barlow, no matter how badly he wants her. She’s younger, louder and a whole lot wilder, plus his brother would kill him. Band mates hooking up on tour will cause all kinds of drama, which they don’t need, so JC is determined to behave.
Gia makes it tough for him, though. She’s strong and fiery, determined, a natural star and amazing in every way, so he’s really struggling to keep some distance between them before he does something stupid. She would normally agree that band mates shouldn’t hook up on tour, but everything about this man is irresistible. I really liked the characters, even when Gia was being a brat but especially JC. Their story was fun and while this is my first book by the author, it certainly won’t be the last. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
