This is a first read of L.V. Lewis’ work by this reader. I was impressed with the clear, clean writing style. There was an obvious level of research undertaken by Ms Lewis in order to create such an authentic, realistic and down-to-earth piece of writing. A myriad emotions were portrayed and felt by this reader. A gritty, heartfelt story. The characterizations were a little too well done (tongue-in-cheek comment; teasing the author) from the perspective of the reader being able to clearly see ill will in certain characters and other characters holding reign on wanting to engage these truly unlikable characters.
This reader looks forward to checking out more writing produced by Ms Lewis.
Good stuff.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This was such an enjoyable and fast read for me! I have had a lot going on lately so this was the perfect book!
The authors writing is superb and made sure that the characters were very well developed. And that is something I really appreciate in a story. Without well developed characters things just don’t always pull together!
Skylar seems at the beginning that she isn’t as mature but farther into the story you see just how mature she is.
Brady is in the place that Skylar was a few years ago and he isn’t willing to go back but for Skylar anything is possible.
I was hoping for more emotional responses from these characters but it was still a great read!

Skylar is a pop star trying to get away from her manger mama. She hires Brody Kent as a PA, and plans on using their non-contracted services to relieve her tension.
Brody is Savage, a man with a horrible and tragic past. His girlfriend died of an OD and he was never charged in the case. He’s an addict who has been working as a PA for I’m Your Man. He likes the hook up service of it.
But he’s the worst person for Skylar and perhaps vice versa.
Cuz he’s got issues.

This is the first book in the series and was a pretty good read. If you like a good rockstar romance then you should give this a go I enjoyed it and will definitely be checking out the rest of the series. The storyline was really good and I really liked both Skylar and Brody
Not Terribly Fluid, But Brody’s Tragic Story Has You Cheering For Him And Sky.
Brody Kent, twenty-eight, works for “I’m Your Man, Inc,” a company that specializes in placing personal assistants that offer special off-the-book services for interested clients. I.Y.M. contracts out men with an excellent work ethic who can represent clients in all social situations. Brody trains in MMA, eats healthy, and happens to be clean for five years now.
As the former guitarist and front man for The Savage, Brody is known to the adoring public only as Savage Saban, who disappeared from the public eye five years ago after Kim, his girlfriend of four years, overdosed next to him. He has since avoided the music industry that led him to addiction, and dons a cleaner look, so that only a select few would recognize him on the street today.
Brody isn’t ready for love, so hookups are the only safe indulgence available to him, and working at I.Y.M. for the last year has kept his mind too busy to get lost in the darkness that otherwise consumes him.
Skylar Samuelson, just turning twenty-one, is a hot commodity. The pop star started in the entertainment industry so young that she already has an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award under her belt. Her mother, Elaine, is a barracuda businesswoman great at identifying new trends. Under Elaine’s management, Sky’s career has taken off.
With her European tour taking place over the summer, it is poor timing when Sky’s P.A. Amber can’t travel due to her approaching due date. Knowing Sky’s need to move on after a nasty breakup, her friend Alyssa recommends she contact I.Y.M. for a temporary P.A. to fill the void during Amber’s absence – and to ask for the ‘deluxe’ package!
Sky and Brody are immediately drawn to one another when they meet to interview for the job, but Brody has many reasons to keep Sky at a distance. He doesn’t really lie, but he keeps his identity a secret. Yet Sky isn’t quick to give up, and she knows he has secrets. With her gentle patience, Brody slowly opens up and they eventually begin to give into their emerging feelings. While Brody must come to terms with his past, Sky must learn to stand on her own two feet as she transitions into an adult artist.
Brody and Sky are both sympathetic characters who are easy to root for. While both have struggles, they each have a patient and mature approach to tackling them. The book ends with a HFN, but continues into the next book in the series, Redemption.
This book has a good story, but the storytelling has room for improvement. There are some proofing and editing issues, but moreover, it doesn’t flow smoothly. Regardless, the unfolding story of Brody’s tragic past in combination with his blossoming hope for a future with Sky captures the imagination. The POV alternates between Brody and Sky. I rate this book 3.5 stars.
She is taking the world by storm, one country at a time. She hates her mother management. She takes another and he is an ex rock star with a secret. one look from her and he wants her. Can they make it? Will his secret destroy them and her career? See what will happen

This book had enough going on with it well developed and engaging characters and storyline to keep me turning page to age to find out if they will get their HEA after weathering the twist and turns when outside forces interfere.

Ms. L.V. Lewis, I bow to your brilliance and creativity. This Author is actually a first time read for me and I am completely confident that I am not only fan girling, but am impatiently awaiting the next installment to this unbelievably addictive storyline. Just Wow. I love romance books and yet, what she has so carefully crafted is so ‘beyond’ that. To design a book, featuring a retired & and in hiding Rock God, and then paring him with a Pop Princess is genius, however, it is certainly the well developed characters that will melt your heart. Everyone has pain, but Brody’s goes through his heart and coupled with loss and addiction, you can’t help but be riveted. I do not like to give away any part of the plot and with this release… well, it’s going to be difficult. After the loss of his love & band mate, Brody just shuts down and regrouped the only way he knew how… alone. No band, no fame and no drugs/alcohol. After getting a job (he doesn’t need) at I.Y.M. Brody breaks his own self-imposed rule, to once again work in the music industry, as the PA for Pop Princess, Skylar. While Skyler’s Mother is her manager, she gives micromanaging a new name / meaning and is an altogether devious woman, working for her own agenda. Instant dislike there. Skylar is smart, talented and instantly captivated by Brody. While they start to build a real relationship, there are many things trying to bring them apart. I don’t want to say too much to give it away and ruin it for you. Please know, that I am truly awaiting the next book for this Series and I am floored with the talent of this incredible Author, I’ve never read before but certainly will continue to in the future.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s copy of Savage in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion and I couldn’t devour it fast enough. At the same time, I never wanted it to end. Talent in spades for Ms. Lewis and her immensely creative mind.
I loved everything heartbreaking part of Brody’s journey to get to his Sky and can’t wait to read more.
This is a well written book with an interesting story line. The characters are strong and likable and have a steamy connection. The author brings an entertaining story,moves it quickly and smoothly and I enjoyed reading. I’m looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
He had his reasons for not working with singers. I cant really blame him. He knows his limitations and tries to stick with them. Really liked this book a little if everything in this book. Loved the ending. Ready to read what happens next.

Never read anything by this author before this book. Savage was great from start to finish…unable to put down once I started! Can’t wait to check out other reads by L.V. Lewis.

Brody was a rock star who walked away from the limelight when tragedy struck. Now working as a PA for hire, he’s assigned to Skylar, the latest pop Princess sensation, to accompany her on her European tour.
A recipe for disaster turns into a summer long love affair. Brody and Sky don’t fight the attraction, although she has no idea who he used to be. He’s scared that the demons in his closet will consume him and scare her away if they’re ever revealed.
The book is an enjoyable read with likeable characters and an interesting storyline. A feel good book

it was amazing
Savage In Ireland is a term of admiration, something really great!
This book was savage in spades, just pressed all the right buttons for me until the abrupt ending, I need more!! There had better be a sequel or I will find you & I will kill you. (Just pretending to be Liam Neeson for a moment there!) I’ve been a rock chick for ever, when really young my sister doted on the Beatles but I was a Stones fan so this appealed to me for that part of the story but what I loved the most, ok secondary to the holy guacamole sex scenes, was all the lol moments, the sobbing, immersed in my own reality of seeing legends on stage in the UK, the land of my birth. This was a flawless read, so well crafted, I just love books that drag me in to feel all the tension & emotions. I could easily hurt the mother of the heroine & the grandparents of the hero, nah, I’m too old but it didn’t stop me from considering it, that’s how compelling I personally found this amazing page turner to be. Highly recommended.
I received an ARC & this is my honest & voluntary review.
Omg. This book was so good. Loved the chemistry and commitment the main characters shared. Plenty of drama and LOL moments. Such a good book. Read it now.
