The world is his stage…
Exodus End’s legendary drummer, Steve Aimes, plays the role of a rock star better than anyone in the business. Since his divorce, he’s embraced every rock ’n’ roll stereotype and uses those vices to keep women at a safe emotional distance, while keeping their physical distance recklessly close. He vowed years ago to never give any woman the power to break his heart again. He just has to keep playing the part, and never drop his guard, and stop obsessing over the keyboardist in their new opening act. He didn’t want Roux’s band on this tour in the first place, but somehow she shattered his barriers without even trying. The only way he knows to save his heart from breaking is to make her his forever, so why does she keep pushing him away?

The stage is her world…
Roux Williams knows an opportunity like this only comes around once in a lifetime. Her band, Baroquen, has finally gotten their big break and are opening for Exodus End and Sinners—two powerhouses of rock—on the European leg of their world tour. She refuses to screw up this opportunity by getting involved with Steve Aimes no matter how gorgeous, sexy and surprisingly attentive he is. She can’t deny her attraction to him—the man has the body of a god and the face of a model—but he’s absolutely off limits. Maybe a lust-crazed weekend on a private island will get him out of her system. Or maybe she’ll fall even harder. Once the tour is over they can date, but until then she must keep her distance, because mixing business with pleasure is not only tabloid fodder, it’s professional suicide. But damn, why does he have to be so stubbornly irresistible?

When their worlds are rattled by a ploy staged to destroy them, Exodus End’s infamous bad boy and Baroquen’s not-yet-famous good girl must figure out a way to have it all and each other.

This is book 3 in the Exodus End World Tour series (a spin-off of the Sinners on Tour series). Book 1 (Insider) and Book 2 (Outsider) are also available, but this book can be read as a stand-alone.

My Review  5 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Kobo Writing Life, for an honest review**

This is the third book in the series and can be read as a stand alone and we are still following the members of the rock band Exodus End.

Steve Aimes is the drummer for the band and has been a bit of a party animal and man whore since his divorce from Bianca many years ago, however when he meets Roux he changes.  Steve is a man with a big heart who can only love completely, he truest has a soft heart and Roux just does it for him.

Roux is in an up and coming band and initially things do not go well with Steve, however he keeps doing sweet things for her, but it is her promise to her band that stops her from anything more with Steve initially.

As Steve and Roux get to know each other they cannot help but get closer and we also see more from The American Enquirer publication and the characters behind it.  The plot thickens even further.

The start of this book happened along side the other books, then takes a leap to the european tour where we see previous characters in their happy lives together.

I look forward to Dares book next and i also look forward to see what will happen with Max.  The books cannot come out fast enough.  There is also an idea that the girls from the band Baroquen will get their own books too in the future.
