What happens when you’re responsible for someone else’s future? Or when you end up falling for them?Tessa Graham has loved Malus for years. They were once a wildly popular band, topping the charts and leaving broken hearts in their wake. But for the past five years, they’ve been playing the same old hits, incapable of creating anything new. As an assistant working for the band’s record label, … band’s record label, Tessa is given the opportunity of a lifetime. Her boss informs her that she must help the band write and record a new album—and she only has seven months to do it. If she succeeds, she’s in line for a huge promotion. If she fails, she’s fired. And so is the band.
What starts out as a desire to keep her job, and perhaps learn a little about the four mysterious musicians she’s always admired, quickly turns into more than anyone could have ever expected. As Tessa spends time with each man, she quickly learns that outward appearances aren’t always what they seem.
Tessa may hold the band’s future in her hands…but there might be more at risk than her job. If she isn’t careful, she could also lose her heart.

If 4 fits… 3 ½ stars – The rock band characters are likeable enough once they got themselves straightened out. I wish there was more background story to Ford, Davis, Ben and Clarke that will make you empathize with their lessening popularity. Tessa has a very caring personality but it was hard to connect with her emotions. How their relationships fit is interesting and the sex is steamy but the characters lack chemistry in their non-sexual interactions.

Encore
A Reverse Harem Romance
By: Lane Hart
Narrated by: Mace Earl Finn
This is one hot rockstar romance, well actually there are 4 hot rockstars! I enjoyed this story, it is well written and well told! The characters are nice developed and the chemistry between Tessa and the bandmates was smoking. Tessa, a record label employee has been given the job to get one of the label rock bands, Malus, back on track. They have not had any new material in years and the fans are losing interest. It is up to Tessa to make this happen but a lot more then that happens. She starts off helping each bandmate with their issues, Ford’s smoking habit, Ben’s alcohol addiction, Clarke’s anxiety and Davis’s need to be by himself. Tessa’s catering to their needs leads to much more, all except Ford, the man whore of the band, but her refusing him drives him to write, so in a sense she is his muse. Tessa does her job well and the band once again comes together as a unit, especially in the bedroom. This is an enjoyable and fast paced story with lots of drama, angst and hot romance.
I listened to the Audible edition, Mace Earl Finn does a nice job narrating and telling the story. He brings the characters to life, giving them heart and attitude. This story definitely would have have benefited if a female played Tessa.
There are author’s that have the ability to make me stop what I’m doing to start reading their books… I’m serious. This lady has that effect on me and it has been a pleasure to have her in my life for the past two years. I’m just asking for more years to come. Years of fantastic books and so much more.
Lane Hart is the person I’m talking about. Her books have me so hooked that once I start reading one I can’t stop… I can’t…
Her writing is hot and wild, sassy, intense and pretty detailed. Just have a look and see for yourself.
Encore is her latest release and Jesus… Have a look at the cover… See it.. Four yummy guys… One lady… Equals…
This book tells the stories of Tessa and the hunk guys from Malus.
Tessa works in a Record Label, a job that she likes but when she’s given the opportunity to be promoted she doesn’t think twice about the task in hands but…
And now meet the band Malus. Ford the lead singer, Clarke the drummer, Bennett the bass player and David the guitarist.
They are struggling to keep up and Tess needs to figure out how to get them back on track…
Jesus… Hot doesn’t even cover this book. Dayum… Get ready… Just saying.
The plot is amazing, super engaging and hot with so much meaning and feelings behind each chapter. These guys have serious issues and the way the face them…
The interaction between the characters is raw and wild and will leave you breathless.
Each scene, let me rephrase this, each hot scene where so intense that it gave me some hot flashes… Dayum… I just needed a few cold showers to cool off… But behind all that, the story is amazing, and you need to grab this book and go for it. Just let go…
Lane… My hubby has a few words to tell you… Lol. This book is amazing and I want more. Please…

Tessa is working for the record label of her favorite band ever, plus she landed her dream job. She will be working with the band, Malus, up close and personal so they can produce a new album. But there is a catch, if the band doesn’t produce a new album within a year the label will drop the band and Tessa will be out of a job. Will Tessa be able to get the band back where they need to be?
Malus, the band made up of four best friends, Ben, Clarke, Davis, and Ford is in big trouble and not with just label but with themselves too. The group has grown apart and nobody knows when or how it happened only that it did. Each member is messed up and has no desire to fix themselves. That is until Tessa walks into their life. Now they all have found a reason to clean up their act. But the problem is they all want her. Will all five come to an agreement that will be beneficially for all of them in the long run?
This is my first time reading this author and I simply loved this book. The flow of the story was on point. You will fall in love with the characters. I can wait to pick up another book by Lane. I highly recommend this book to others.
Holy hotness! This is one scorching read. Fell in love with every character. Loved this story.
Lane never disappoints with a book. I actually liked this one even though I’m not big in reverse harem romances. But, this book may make me a fan of them. It’s that good. It was steamy, sexy, hot, fun and more. Well written and the characters were enjoyable.
Encore.
Lane Hart has given me my first taste of the reverse harem genre! Tessa is a smart business woman that is working hard at a record label . She is given the ultimate assignment and begins working with a band she truly admired in their hay day. They have now hit onto some creative hard times and she is sent in to help them with their dry spell. She soon realizes each man behind the band is so much more and it turns into a steamy, angst flled romance with them . Great read !

This is one hot sexy reverse harem romance!
Tessa has been a massive fan of Malus’ for years. Now they’re stuck in a rut playing the same old songs and with their popularity waning, Tessa’s job is to get them back together and in the right headspace to get some new material written. It soon becomes very clear that things between the band mates aren’t brilliant and they need some sort of intervention. It’s not long before the men realise they’re all attracted to Tessa but they’ve no idea how much Tessa is juggling.
There’s a man for everyone to like in this book. If I had to pick a favourite I’d go for Davis. He’s the one that caught and held my interest the most. Tessa is quite likeable although there were times she annoyed me, for the most part I think I was just jealous I’m not living her life.
OMG! This is my second reverse harem book and I think I’m adding a new genre to my usual reads!
Being responsible for four guys in a band is a tough job and it’s up to Tessa to help the members of Malus get their shit together or kiss their music career goodbye forever.
I really enjoyed reading this hot new release from Ms. Hart!! If you love reverse harem books with complicated relationships, than you will not be disappointed with this one!!!
Oh for the love of all that it HOTT!!! I am quite used to Lane Hart writing books that are H.A.F. but this one was on a whole new level!
Tessa works for a record label. She is told that she needs to go get this band of 4 men under control to get them to start producing music again. She definitely had her work cut out for her. All 4 men are so different. The way that she gets together with each of them has its own fascinating story behind them! I love that this woman did not care too much about what others may think of her, she was only concerned with that these 4 men thought of her and how they saw her. I loved this book! The Reverse Harem is pretty new to me, but with writing like this I am thinking that I will be totally into it! Loved the hotness. Loved the LOVE. Loved they conflicted feelings! Loved it all!!!!
Encore by Lane Hart a five-star read that deserves it’s own repeat encore. I love this author so hard, but this was amazing, Tessa Graham, what a woman and not because of what she gets up to, but from who she is. Someone who you would love to have in your life!! This was such a quick and steamy read, I read it in one sitting, ignoring everyone including my angry husband who had been phoning several times and getting nothing!! It was that good, once you start this book you will not be able to put it down. Lane Hart I need Manus to be a real band I can stalk!!!
