The band is a dysfunctional family that almost rivals my own. Mia and Keys are both broken personalities which provided a lot of opportunities for conflict. The ending is satisfying, but rushed. Overall, a good story.
I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.
I enjoyed Keys and Mia’s story – Keys has always been known as a player but just wants to settle down. Mia is on the run from her abusive ex. Keys to love is steamy, emotional, suspenseful, with some unexpected twists. Love that the characters from the previous books in the series are integrated throughout the series and I’m looking forward to the next book.
4.5 stars
This is the fourth book in the Adrenaline series and it can be heard as a standalone but I recommend listening to the books in order to understand the characters and dynamics at play. This is Keys and Mia’s story. Keys, as his name implies, is the keyboardist for the band Marked Love and he has a penchant for one-night stands and a propensity for forgetting the women immediately afterwards. Mia is a strong, driven woman and at first glance would seem to be Key’s polar opposite. However, the one thing that the two have in common is their feelings of needing some changes in their lives…and then the unexpected happens. The two wind up spending time together working and it leads to one intense affair. Can Keys and Mia move past their respective histories and open themselves up to love? Once again, narrator Jonathan Tratar uses his talent to bring these characters to life but unlike the other books in the series, I did not feel the connection to the characters in this one. Ms. Bardot has written a gripping story with complex characters that will keep any listener engaged as the chapters are completed.
Gotta tell you, I’m feeling very annoyed. Not with this book, as Callie Bardot’s The Key to Love (Adrenaline, Book 4) was an exceptionally great rock star romance, one of my top kinds of romance books and perfectly written with extremely superbly crafted complex leads in Mia and Keys. Nope, that’s not it. I’m just annoyed as I somehow freakin’ missed books 1 to 3. I’m going to have to remedy that. In the meantime it should be no surprise that I highly recommend this book.
This is the fourth book in the Adrenaline Series, a Rockstar Romance. James (Keys) and Mia’s story is filled with drama, secrets, and suspense. They are opposites attract, and they share a sizzling chemistry. Jonathan Tratar did a good job with the narration.
Excellent story! Loved Keys and Mia!
Keys is fed up and nothing is getting him out of his slump. That is until he meets Mia again and rallies there is something about her and he wants to find out more about the tiny powerhouse of a woman.
Mia is bored with her life and tired of running from her ex and the last thing she needs it to get mixed up with a playboy rockstar.
When a group trip to Cancun comes up Keys decides what better way to get to know Mia better than a holiday and fate has a funny way of stepping in at the right time for these two it seems.
This was a fantastic read and it was fun to catch up with the Marked Love gang again!
I read this book voluntarily for an honest review.
This was a great book that was full of pages with well developed characters and engaging storyline and plenty of chemistry to keep me entertained.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Finding the right key together
The Key to Love is the fourth book in the Adrenaline series and is the story of James, aka Keys, and Mia. He is the bad boy keyboardist for the rock band Marked Love and she the assistant to Zander King, the owner and CEO of EXcape, an outdoor adventure company. Keys is at a point in his life where he knows he needs to make a change as even he is tired of the same old rock star life. It is just not satisfying to him any more. Zander is friends with the guys in Marked Love. Mia has become good friends with Gia, the drummer for Marked Love, since working for Zander. Mia does not get on so well with the guys in the band. Well actually it is more like she does not like male musicians and there is a story to that one from her past. It is shared pasts that end up bringing Mia and Keys together in a way that neither had imagined.
This is a well written book with an interesting story-line and well developed characters. There were some nice twists and turns in the story which added to the enjoyment of reading this book.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
It took me a bit to write this review. I read a lot of books but I can honestly say that the characters of Keys and Mia just hit me in a special place.
Mia has a secret that she’s been hiding from. Keys too has a secret that only a few are aware of. Both their past have so deeply effected their present.
Keys has a bad reputation but he realizes he disliked himself as much others dislike him and he knows he needs t change.
Mia is the hard worker, no nonsense assistant to a billionaire outdoor adventurer. Her boss is friends with the band.
Mia was not looking for anyone but a mix up puts them together.
Their past actually bond them even though they both don’t know the full extent of their mutual past issues.
This story is wonderfully written with two characters that the reader can feel their pain and confusion.
This is a wonderful book. There is an HEA but it’s the journey to get there that will have you reading this book.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review
Keys and Mia had a instant connection that she was skeptical of but was even more worried about not exploring what could me but these two both have demons in there past that makes it hard to move past. I’ve read this series from the beginning but this one is my favorite
I really enjoyed “The Key to Love” by Callie Bardot. I received a complementary copy of this story in exchange for an honest review. I was happy to read it. I’ve read all the previous stories included in the Adrenaline series and I found that each story got better as the series went along. The author did a great job coming up with unique story lines and plot twists for each book and the characters are certainly different in their own ways. This book is probably my favorite so far – there is still one main character of the group that hasn’t had his story told – so fingers crossed that there will be a fifth book.
Certainly a nice addition to your book collection.
Happy Reading…enjoy!
A great read that grabs you from the first page to the last. Its has great world building as well as Character building. This is a real page turner with twists and turns that keeps you turning the pages. I recommend this great read.

For honest review this is a beautiful story of keys johnson the keyboardist to marked love and mia song who works for Mr zander king of Escape a outdoor adventures gear company . and what that have been through and face together.
I found this book to be a very enjoyable read with the well written storyline and characters that were so well created that Mia and Keys kept me totally enthralled as each and every page was turned until the very end!
I wish I would have received the other 3 books before I read this one. That said Callie did not disappoint. She keeps you wanting to read more until the end. What will happen in this week? Can they forget their past? Can they find a way to love each other? Attraction is not always the best, Right? I received a free copy for my honest review.
A story full of drama and some suspense. Mia and Keys make a great couple but have to navigate all of the external factors and some internal ones to find their happiness. Lots of Drama, Love, Passion, and suspense.
I love this genre and the author. Great plot and characters.
