Why does she feel the need to leave marks on my face for the world to see? This madness has gone on long enough. The only answer is to escape. Finding a friend on the road to hang out with from gig to gig helps my loneliness, especially when he’s kind, understanding, and easy to talk to. It doesn’t hurt that he’s hotter than a god and happens to rule the world when he’s on stage singing songs … singing songs that make women want to throw their panties.
Life is great until the one person I ran from shows up to terrorize me at my job. How can I explain this to him or would it be easier to vanish again?

“I’m not a rockstar for nothing, babe.”
She had me at rockstar. Yeah, it’s no secret that I’m addicted to #RockstarRomance. Just reading a synopsis or seeing a book cover is enough to get me excited once I know what I have to look forward to. Be Understanding is short, but it packs a punch.
After meeting the sweet and sexy lead singer I had no problem understanding why women threw their panties at him when he was on stage. And that’s without hearing him sing a single note. Nope, it was his caring nature that had me swooning over him. Being in the #FriendZone wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I had another zone in mind for them.
The suspense of first learning who was terrorizing her, and then trying to figure out where to bury the body was exhausting. It kept me on the edge, ready to kick someone’s ass. She was reluctant to divulge her secrets, but since I read the story from her POV I was privy to her thoughts. I tried to talk her out of what she was planning, but she didn’t listen to me. But, at least I wasn’t the only one who’s opinion she ignored, I was in good company.
Be Understanding is exactly what he did. But that doesn’t mean he was a wimp. Nope, he was a badass, he just reserved his gentle side for her. Reading this tiny tale was a treat and I wanted more, much more. Guess I’ll just have to keep stalking the author, much more. The line forms here…
I really enjoyed reading about how the relationship between Skyla and Rett strengthened and changed. The issue with Skyla’s sister added drama to the story and I was cheering for Skyla when she finally stood up for herself! The dialogue sections were excellent, really well-written and believable. The one thing I thought could have added to the story was more descriptive passages to add to the many dialogue-heavy scenes. After all, the rock star world is pretty interesting, and I would have loved to have ‘experienced’ more of life on tour through Skyla’s point of view. Overall, great characters, plenty of chemistry between them, and a very entertaining read.
BE UNDERSTANDING
Who didn’t dream of being noticed by a famous rock star and falling in love? In this short novella, we witness how Skyla, the roadie (working in the background of a rock tour) and Rett, the rock star, are becoming friends. He is understanding and compassionate when she tells him about the abuse she suffers from her sister and wants her to stop running away from her problems. His friendship strengthens her self-esteem and seems to help her to be able to do just that. The attraction they feel for each other comes a little abruptly but not unexpectedly given this is a romantic novella.
Rock star romance.
I enjoyed this friends to something more romance.
The connection between Rett, the caring rock star, and Skyla, the cute roadie, was sweet and endearing. The writing was pitched just right for the story as it explored their feelings for one another, and how.they handled others who tried to interfere. It was a quick, easy going read with a dash of steam for good measure.
An awesome friends to love novella. Great to see the interaction with the roadies and the bands.
This novella was a quick read featuring a sweetly hot rockstar and a tormented roadie. Skyla can’t seem to escape the person abusing her no matter what she does. Rett is super sexy, but he and Skyla are friends, despite Skyla’s standoffish behavior. In some ways, I know her mind is a little whacked from being mistreated the way she was, but she also seemed a little immature. I loved Rett though – sensible and such a good friend to her, even as he crossed the line beyond friendship.
What’s not to love about this friends to lovers read??? It’s too short!!!!! Okay I know but this author can’t do short stories her characters call out to you and make you want to know more. This time in this friends to lovers we get that they have a long established friendship and the respect that goes with it. So much so he is ready to issue out a beat down for whoever bruised his girl. I loved it especially when we find out why and he handles it. Ms Finn gives us two characters that we can’t help but connect with and our time with them is much too short but it also doesn’t take away from the story. They are two I hope she revisits in another story. . . . without the demon seed sibling. Great read fall in love with them too.
Ouch, this storyline can cause some major triggers but the scary part is, it is someones reality. Thia dug deep and delivered a one two punch that stated true to her writing great rock stars but also centering on abuse and friendship.
Great story but not for the faint at heart and it will definitely make you slide in her DM asking for more.
This story will have you feeling both heartache and love for Skyla and all that she has and continues to go through in her life. I adored this rockstar romance from the beginning until the end, a complete page turner that consumed me. Rett gives off that “bad boy rockstar vibe” but he’s so much deeper then that, we find out just the type of man he is when he befriends Skyla and their story begins while on tour. This is a intertwined story within a series with other authors but you will not be lost reading them out of order. Beautifully written and highly recommend you pick up your copy and bump to the of your TBR list.
Be Understanding is part of the Escaping the Friend Zone series and is a quick sweet read that will have you falling in love with a rock star and his big heart. Rett and Skyla’s story is one that starts on a sincere friendship that develops into something more, it will have you melting at the compassion from this man and his heartfelt concern. A Rockstar romance with a difference that will captivate you and leave your heart full. A story with a touch of drama, a side of sexy and so much emotion.
Sometimes you have one of those days where you need an escape, not forever just for awhile. Be Understanding was just the escape I needed today. Life has been rough and this quick easy read took me away from it all. Skyla was being crushed by conflict. She saw no end to the harassment. She saw no solution but to run. She had no support.
Support came in the name of Rest, singer for Sharp Edge. He was her boss. He became her friend, her protector. With every page I wondered. Would she run? Would she stand up for herself? Would she let others help her? Would she walk away from love.
The ending brought light to my darkness. The story gave me hope when I was feeling helpless. This story will be put on my pick me up read list.
