Sex bad boy rock star and a girl who is anything but average. This is book 10 in the series and I’m loving it 100%. This book was short, funny and full of push and pull between the main characters. It was really fun to see how long the it would Masen to snap and claim Billie as his.
They couldn’t be more different but somehow they made it work. Mr. November can’t come soon enough.

Mr October is a fake relationship intertwined with the beat of a rockstar romance. Masen and Billie are those characters that will instantly own your heart. As they ride the riff to a crescendo of love, you will feel the beat of their hearts and the melody that their souls play only for each other. A love story that will have you a little angsty and not sure if they will be able to find the final verse in the song that is their declaration. You will feel the connection that Billie and Masen have along with the passion and heat that will have you needing to jump in a pool to cool off. Mr October will play out to a sold out crowd with these wonderful characters, their captivating story and the music that will serenade your heart.
I’m pretty sure I’ve said this every single month, but this series just gets better and better. Though, I do believe that Masen Lennox is going to be hard to beat. Who doesn’t love a troubled, sexy, Rockstar?
Masen is fresh out of rehab and needs to change is image, so why not have a fake girlfriend. Enter Billie. An intern at the record company and the woman who caught Masen’s attention. However, the more time they spend together the more the feelings start to feel real, will Billie come out of this safely or will Masen’s walls be her downfall?
Masen is the bad boy Rockstar. He has so many walls up. He doesn’t really let people in, well other than his best friend Josh. He is guarded. Billie is a student, she is sweet, but there is something about Masen that is addicting. The two of them together, HOLY CHEMISTRY. It was fantastic. Their road wasn’t easy, it was painful and emotional, but 100% worth the wait in the end.
Side note: I LOVED Josh and Avery, Billie’s best friend, and I am crossing my fingers they get a story because I would love to see more of them.
This book is a MUST READ!
I don’t know how I haven’t come across this author before! This is the first book of hers I’ve read and I seriously need to start at the beginning of this series!! It was a fantastic quick read and I laughed out loud many times!
A fabulous writing style and I loved all the characters. I really enjoyed the interaction between Masen and Billie. He was a real softy underneath and loved how this subtly showed through.
Josh – oh my goodness he was just hilarious! You never knew what he was going to say!
Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Masen has created quite the PR mess with his drinking and stint in rehab. If he wants to keep his career he has to clean up his image and what better way than a serious girlfriend. No one has to know she is fake. Billie, an intern at the record label, catches Masen’s eye. Can they pull off the fake girlfriend act or will their chemistry cause them to explode?
I don’t know how she does it but Nicole has rocked yet another Calendar Boy. I have loved every book in this series and they just keep getting better. Masen is just the perfect amount of broody, sexy rock star and Billie is the perfect mix of fiery and sweet. This was a sit down and read in one sitting book for me. I am anxiously awaiting Mr. November & December but dreading the end of the series at the same time.
This is my first book by this author and it won’t be my list. I love rockstar books they are my favourites. This is Masen and Billie’s story.
Masen’s reputation is on the line and his manager wants him to clean up his image and what better way than have a fake girlfriend. Masen agrees only if he gets to pick the girl. When Billie agrees to this she never expected to commit her heart but the longer she and Masen are together the more the lines blur.
The start of the “relationship” between Billie and Masen was nothing more than business and without knowing it Billie wore him down. She was exactly what he needed to help his career but it didn’t take long for him to realize she was all he needed.
I loved secondary character Josh. I hope we get his story one day.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.
This is the first book I read by S. Goodin and I will definitely read more from this author.
The writing is amazing and I enjoyed the characters and the story tremendously.
Masen was such a tease. I love the way he touches Billie and the words they share are so sexy during those times.
Billie was strong when she needed to be. I liked the fact that she demanded to be noticed by Masen. That every time he pushes her away, she would come back and work it out.
Josh, a secondary character, brought life to this book, for me. He was fun-loving and sexy not to mention down-to-earth.
Overall, however, this book was hard for me to rate. I connected and liked all the characters in this book but I wanted more from this story. For me, it felt a little superficial. Nothing, in my opinion, was explored or experienced in depth. It all just felt glossed over.
Throughout the book, the passion simmers. I loved that but, at the same time, I wanted so much more from it. Masen and Billie have all this passion and chemistry but it never quite boiled over in my opinion. It just simmers and never really explodes, and I know this couple could definitely have that.
There is also a lot of emotional moments in this book but that, as well, feels tempered and never fully fleshed out or explored. You feel for them but it’s all just surface. For me, the book did not dig deep enough to feel the full impact of Masen and Billie’s feelings.
Masen’s music, fandom and Rockstar status not to mention his recovery from alcohol addiction are not explored. We don’t get the chance to know what brought him so low or even about his past. For me this is the difference between an incredible and memorable read and the good book I just read.
For those who love a lot of spice and sensuality, this book is a little tame in that regard but, the story that is told endears this couple to you regardless. Their longing gazes and touches give you all the feels.
Please note that as a reader I, personally, love a lot of angst and feels in the books I read. I believe that those who enjoy and look for a fluffy, heartwarming and well written romance will definitely love this story and rate this book higher.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A sweet rock romance read! I loved this months romance couple. Billie had a sweet innocence domineer about her that drew Mason in. He didn’t what hit him but he knew he needed her and when her let her in the chemistry sizzles and the heat level blossomed to so much more. I loved the storyline and characters in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint.
I’m not big of rock star romances but I loved this story from the beginning. Billie was sassy and funny with her bbf bringing a great feel for the book. Masen was the bad boy rockstar with a bad rep and a brooding demeanour. The side characters were amazing giving an all round good vibe and back up to the main characters. I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Masen’s reputation is on the line and his manager wants him to clean up his image and what better way than have a fake girlfriend. Masen agrees only if he gets to pick the girl. When Billie agrees to this she never expected to commit her heart but the longer she and Masen are together the more the lines blur. Will Billie come out of this with her heart in one piece or will Masen’s bad boy reputation show its ugly head and ruin what could be a good thing between them? This nonstop romance will have you on the sidelines determining the merits of whether they will succeed or crash and burn!

Nicole did a great job with this Rockstar romance. It has everything we like to see, hesitation to caving into the craving to pushing away to refusal to give up and of course the HEA. I love Nicole Goodin and her romance books are perfect.
Masen needs to revamp his reputation after getting out of rehab so what better way to do it then find a fake girlfriend. Of course when his manager and PR rep tells him this he agrees with one exception, he gets to pick the girl.
They say opposites attract and when it comes to these two it’s true. He is broken and thinks he can’t love or be loved. She is a shy, hopeless romantic that refuses to give up.
