Rules were made to be broken .. including the #NoBangOath
From a former tv addict, specifically reality tv shows, this book was utter perfection, giving me a glimpse at survival style competitions, as well as bachelor with a twist all wrapped up in a romcom story that’s sure to keep you turning the pages.
I loved the story begind the band name .. MFB aka My Favorite Band.
The reunion show revelation was pure genius.
Dax’s struggle could be felt throughout the whole process. I felt bad for him at times always trying to live up to what he thought his bandmates expect of him and what he truly wants; other times I just wanted to throttle him!
#NoBangOath – sometimes intentions and feelings change .. and after all, rules were made to be broken
Take My Heart is book one in the My Favorite Band series by Lisa Suzanne. This is my first book by this author.
Dax Hunter is the lead singer of the band MFB. He is nearly twenty six years old. His four band mates are his best friends, his family. MFB is wildly popular in the San Diego area and are about to make it even bigger with their upcoming tour as front band for another famous band. Dax has been in two serious relationships, both ending with him being hurt. As a result, he lives the life of a rock star by drinking way too much and by sleeping with anything with legs.
Eight months prior, the band hired their first manager, Kylie Marshall, a very pretty young woman that Dax has been attracted to since the beginning. But the band made a pact, a “no bang rule.” She was hands off. They couldn’t take the chance and lose her.
With the band on the cusp of the biggest break of their careers, Kylie convinces Dax to audition for a reality dating show, Take My Heart. The money he would make if he’s chosen is huge as well as making his face, their band, a household name.
Okay, here’s the hard part. Kylie has watched Dax pretty much sleep his way through San Diego. But then, when he decides to be a part of this television show, a show that’s supposed to help him find love, his behavior actually gets worse. All while the cameras are on him. Kylie is always in the back of Dax’s mind, he knows he has feelings for her, stronger than he realized. Does this stop him from sleeping with the worst possible person he should have slept with, NO! Does it stop him from embarrassing himself on camera, NO! And of course, Kylie sees every single thing once the show is televised.
I have a pretty open mind in the books I read. But I just couldn’t justify Dax’s behavior. I couldn’t help but to feel mortified that Kylie was watching it all. I thought his actions were so immature and actually cringed a few times. He does finally figure things out of course and he and Kylie finally admit their feelings. But for me, the journey getting to that point was a rough one. The entire book is told from Dax’s point of view.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It had a great storyline; the characters in the story reeled me in, and kept me interested. I can’t wait for more of My Favorite Band.
A fun, sexy, emotional and engaging romantic journey for two people that are just looking to improve their careers and never expected to find the possibility of so much more…. highly entertaining and creatively witty story filled with interesting and exciting charters.
I loved this story.
Dax is the front man for the band MFB and after being pressured by his agent, Kylie, agrees to participate in a reality show, Take My Heart, the new celebrating dating show, although he’s not in search of love. But he agrees because it could be a good exposure for his band.
But as he goes on different dates for the show, his thoughts keep coming back to Kylie, the only girl who is totally off limits.
Will he be able to find love in the show, or will his feelings for Kylie be stronger?
I loved the story and the characters, I really laughed a lot.
I highly recommend the reading.
This was such a fun read! I don’t read a lot of rock star romances, but this one was great. I loved the story line, and it kept me entertained through the whole book. It has some twists and turns and some definite LOL moments!
One of the best books I’ve read in a while. So well written and creative. Depth of character. Hero to fall in love with. Sexy rock star. Strong heroine. It had it all. 10 stars from me on a five-point scale!!! Loved it.
This was a fun book to read! I liked the reality show and all the dirty things that go along with it! Dax was an interesting character. You can tell he has a heart and cares for others..hence why he does a reality show lol. His heart is all about the band and despite his whorish ways, he only has eyes for one girl. This book had many sweet moments especially when they got together. I take enjoyed reading this book!
Spin-off of Not Just Another Romance but can be read as a standalone. I did not read that book and loved this spin-off, but then again it is a LS book, so it of course was going to be awesome. Know what’s awesome sauce about this book though, we get to see VAIL in this story! So, for those of us missing them, it helps us get our VAIL fix. It also introduces us to MFB. Gotta say love the band name and very clever (both I might add)!
MFB the Band instated a No Bang Oath after Kylie the band manager was hired. They needed her as their band manager, so the rule was put in place as to not ruin their relationship with her professionally. There are other girls cause let’s face it you’re in a band and girls are more than willing to rock your world for the night in any city you are in. Some never grow out of the rock star life and others after awhile it gets old. Case in point with Dax. He had his heart broke a time or two and wasn’t looking for love, but he also was tired of the rock star life from a sexual point only. To help curb his image and band exposure, Kylie gets him onto a reality TV show to find him love. Mmm, good choice or bad choice? I’ll let you frame your opinion on the matter when you read the book.
The publicity for the band on the reality was a good choice, the girls, that is to still be determined. Yikes, there were a few times I gripped that device real hard with events that transpired! Dax is feeling some of the girls, but in the back of his mind he knows his feelings Kylie are getting harder to hide. Does he choose the girl from Reality TV or does he get the band to nix the No Bang Oath and explore his feelings with Kylie hoping that if it doesn’t work out, she remains the band manager? Well, lips are sealed! You will love and hate Dax at times, but you will fall in love with the band mates and this story. I look forward to more on MFB and hope that we get more of them in future books or in this spin-off series.
Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is such a fun and entertaining story! Even with the drama from the reality show aspect of the story, it was a lighthearted read that made me smile the entire time. And the appearance of our Vail boys (I seriously love Ethan!)…..that was the cherry on top of an already incredible cake!
I enjoyed this unique take on a reality show. Dax & Kylie’s book was an interesting twist on coworkers/friends to lovers book with a reality show and back tour setting.
I loved this one. Currently this one is my favorite one by the author. Dax is a great character. He’s the lead signer of MFB. His manager, Kylie, convinces him to go on a dating reality show. He’s not looking for love but the show can be the exposure he’s band need. He likes Kylie but the band has deemed her off limits because he’s the band manager. I was totally wondering whether he would end up with a girl from the show or if there was something more with Kylie. This was one I really wanted to flip to the end and see who he ended up with but I didn’t and don’t suggest you do either. It’s a great read from beginning to end.
Interesting twist on a reality show story. I was really drawn in to Dax’s story, so much so that I cried at his low moments. There was something so endearing about him; I HAD to root for him and wanted him to get his happy ending ASAP. I had a pretty good idea early on which woman he would end up with, but I enjoyed most of the twists and turns the journey took to get there. I was also intrigued by some of the peripheral characters and plan to check if any of their books have been written.
*I received an ARC in exchange for my review*
Dax Hunter is the lead singer of the band, MFB. Before they go on tour he decides (with a push from their manager, Kylie) to take a not so conventional route to get his band some publicity. After making it onto a reality dating show he has to battle following his true feelings against doing what he thinks is best for the band. We get to follow Dax on his journey with the contestants while he’s fighting his growing attraction to the one girl he should stay away from. Will he find a new love on Take My Heart? Or will he discover his heart was never his for the taking?
I was completely intrigued by the concept of this book and I am so glad I took a chance! Great characters and a story that was just perfect!
FIVE STARS!!
When I received the email about this book, I was intrigued by the title.
There were parts where the story was slow to develop but it did pick up.
It was a good read.
Great story with Dax and his band manger Kylie!
This was definitely a page turner with an interesting storyline. The characters are well rounded and I loved watching Dax evolve.
I recommed!
Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is exactly the type of book you’ve come to expect and love from Lisa Suzanne!! The characters and storyline were well developed and written! I even loved the secondary characters and I hope they all get their own book!! With that said, I cant say this was my favorite Lisa Suzanne book. Personally, im not a big fan of reality shows which is the main focus of this book. It took me a good amount of time to really get into this book and fall in love with Dax and Kylie. Parts felt slow to me and I really just wanted to knock some sense into both of them at times! Despite my personal feelings about the storyline I would never not read a Lisa Suzanne book because shes one of my absolute favorite authors to read!!
Wow I loved this book so much! Dax really is not just another rock star! I mean sure he is crazy hot and the lead singer for the opening band for Vail, oh my heart Mark! But I loved everything about Dax. He is funny, sweet, impulsive, loyal and falling for the girl who is off limits. His bandmates implement the No Bang Oath when Kylie becomes their manager because she is hot herself but also the best manager they’ve ever had and they don’t want to lose her. So Dax keeps his feelings for her to himself and when she asks him to do a dating reality show for exposure for the band he reluctantly says yes because he just can’t say no to Kylie. Dax knows he won’t find love because he’s been burned in the past and can’t seem to get past the hurt. But several of the women surprise him and he learns a lot about himself, mostly that he keeps thinking about Kylie! Dax finds himself involved in a huge scandal on the show and he hates it, but he mostly hates the disappointment he sees in Kylie’s eyes. You will delve into this book and not be able to stop the story is just that good. Fall in love with Dax as he finds his own true love!
The title of this book is perfect for it, because even though it is a rock star romance, it is not like the usual ones that you read. This is rock star vs. Reality Show. Dax is the frontman for an up and coming rock band, that joins a dating reality show to get money and gain exposure for the band. It is their manager’s, Kylie’s, idea. What happens is really what I think is an accurate portrayal of what one of the real reality shows sre like. There is lots of laughter to be had in this book, as well as times, I want to strangle Dax, and even Kylie sometimes. It is a really fun book to read, and I highly recommend it.
