“The internet thinks I’m a homewrecker and your band’s fans are out for blood.”“Just convince them you’re with somebody else. Somebody harmless. Me.”If a fake relationship with rockstar and infamous bad-boy Ian Conroe seems like the answer to all your problems, you know you’re in deep. When bills from a traumatic accident were threatening to crush my spirit, a chance run-in with the world’s … a chance run-in with the world’s hottest drummer felt like fate.
He offered me the chance to film his band’s secret show and even though I was risking my dead-end job, I couldn’t say no to such a great opportunity.
I couldn’t say no to Ian, either.
Overnight my footage became a viral sensation and I ended up on tour with the band. I thought hooking up with the wildly attractive, tattooed drummer would be a simple fling. I never imagined the trouble I’d get into with Ian in a different hotel every night.
Or the nightmare the paparazzi would cause by spreading false rumors about me and the band’s married lead singer.
I certainly never expected anyone to mail me a dead possum, stalk me online, or declare me public enemy number one.
After my accident I thought I could survive anything, but that was before this crazy/sexy rockstar came into my life. And my bed.
‘This One’s For You’ is a romantic comedy featuring an almost entirely reformed bad boy drummer with a taste for vegan food and redheads and a tattooed girl next door with sarcasm to spare on a twisted road to happily ever after. It stands alone with no cheating, cliffhangers, or nonsense.

This love story brought the sweet, the heat, the laughs, the tears… it has everything needed to bring on all the feels. Ian and Vanessa are survivors. They’ve both overcome traumatic events in their lives, but still struggle with survivor’s guilt. When a seemingly chance second meeting becomes an amazing career opportunity for Vanessa – as well as a pretend romance turned real – choices must be made between dreams of the past, and dreams of the future. I loved the depth of the characters, and the chances that they each took to get to their very own HEA together.
Another well-written romance by Taylor Holloway. The characters, Vanessa and Ian, are interesting, well-developed and have chemistry. The story is interesting, well-written, with a happily ever after. In addition to receiving an arc from Booksprout, I purchased the book for my collection.
Ian and Vanessa met at a trauma survivors support group and Ian never forgot her. Now years later they bump into each other when she is getting footage for her reporter job and he is chasing after a band mates toddler. When the person that is supposed to video their tour bails on them Ian mentions Vanessa doing it for them. Sparks fly between them as she joins the band on tour and her videos make their fans go crazy. However no one expected the scandal of fan assuming she was on the tour for one of the other band members that just happens to be married. When the scandal doesn’t end and continues to grow it could cost Vanessa her job on the tour. What will that mean for her and Ian? Can they start a new relationship when he is getting ready to be on tour for so long?
This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

ONE ENGAGING TREAT!!!
OOOOOH! One refreshing spin that keeps you on edge and total focus on every word. A spiraling flurry of random mishaps and astonishing events launch those spinning emotions, coiling tightly, bursting to life brilliantly. Drama, adversity, intrigue and suspense engage all of your senses while a horde of twists and turns run rampant. One intense storyline and gripping plot propels this bad boy to life flawlessly. Struggling through all the trials and tribulations along with a few bumps and bruises send this jewel jetting. The characters are original, relatable and realistic with such depth and individuality it feels as though you can just reach out and touch them. The scenes are graphically detailed and descriptive making it easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Fantastic job Taylor, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.

Give yourself a second life.
Excellent romance, tender, moving, hot with real questions about how to live again after events that have affected the course of life. I really liked the characters of Vanessa and Ian, who are both tortured but at the same time trying to move on.
Vanessa is hired by the band “Axial Tilt” thanks to Ian who had already met her quickly and who was immediately attracted by her, which she does not know because she had never been back in the support group although she too is felt a strong attraction. She has escaped once, but not two, and Ian does everything to seduce her and keep her. But Vanessa still has after-effects from her accident and Ian from the accident he caused that killed his friends. Going beyond their cracks is a real challenge.

I have been waiting for this book and waiting and waiting and thats kinda what I thought the books title was all about. It is Vanessa’s story. This is a seriess but each book is loosely connected and now I have figured out how. I think its book 8 in the series. I have not read the series from the beginning. I read book 6 and 7. In book 6 Vanessa who is a friend has a bad accident and her arm is cut off and reattached and her fiancee dies. She is traumatized but her friends are there for her. In book 7 her best friend Caroline is the woman who finds love but she ends up leaving Vanessa for a life in Africa with the man she falls for and now we get Vanessas story. Caroline runs a support group and Ian is part of the group and she gets Vanessa to attend one session.
The two meet but Vanesssa was in bad place still and she doesnt ever go back. Ian, a rockstar with a troubled past, developes a huge crush on her but he doesn;t see her again until his friends son (Jason and Wendy;s son, yes they have a story too in the series) runs away and finds Vanessa at a concert where they are doing a secret concert for fans.
Vanessa has quit being an emt and is now a videographer and so he asks her to video their secret show. And that is how they end up getting to know the other. I LOVED their texts. These two were so absolutely adorable together. Considering their pasts it was such a fun, sweet and romantic story.
A side note is that Ians brother is Ryan (also a former story in the series) who ended up with Rosie in a previous story. See loosely connected. I loved finally connecting with the other stories and seeing how this part of the series connected.

This is a wonderful story, it’s well-written and the emotional storyline pulls you in from the beginning. Ian and Vanessa both have traumas in their past but their connection is from the beginning and it’s intense and sweet. The bad boy rocker meets his match in this story.

Overcoming the past…
This one is a very emotional read. Both Ian and Vanessa have demons from their past that they must overcome. Those demons are what brings the two into contact with each other for the first time. Is there any hope for a HEA for two “damaged” people as Ian and Vanessa? Yes but only if they can learn to let the past stay in the past where it belongs.
