Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne’s newest standalone romantic comedy features rock stars, a best friend’s older brother, and an accidental Vegas wedding.I’ve never seen Emily Clarke as anything more than my little sister’s best friend.One drunken mistake later, she’s my wife.My first thought is how to get out of this, except our wedding video has gone viral and record sales are skyrocketing. My … and record sales are skyrocketing. My manager thinks following the newlyweds on the second season of my band’s reality show will keep up the momentum.
I just have to get Emily to agree to faking this marriage for six months, and then we can quietly divorce.
Right?
Wrong.
Nothing is quite that simple when feelings blur the line between a contract and reality.
I ended up with more than just a hangover when I found myself waking up married.

It was such an amazing ride. I couldn’t seem to get enough of this story and I believe you won’t either. Adam and Emily are a great couple. What I couldn’t believe was how well they clicked after everything. This story will have you on the edge of your seat. Their were so many things that I couldn’t even believe. If I loved this story I hope that you will too. I received this book from the author and reviewed voluntarily.
This author certainly knows how to write rock stars with heart and heat! I enjoyed revisiting the boys from MFB (with a few other rock stars thrown in for good measure!) This is Adam and Emily’s story and it had everything I love and adore in the “fake relationship/marriage” genre. Adam is such a sweetheart and I was hoping that he would get his HEA because he’s not the typical rock star — he doesn’t like one-night stands and he’s looking for the “one”. I don’t want to ruin the laughter and tears you’ll experience by reading it first-hand, so I’m suggesting that you read this very enjoyable 4.5 star rock romance for yourself!
This book was such a fun read! It was well written and contained all the funny and steaminess one needs to enjoy a great read. Of course, you spice it up with a rock star, throw in the forbidden best friend’s little sister and not only a one night stand with her but you wake up married. I absolutely loved it!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Lisa Suzanne hits it out of the park again with this funny and witty rom-com starring one of our favorite band members from MFB. I really am glad she revisited our boys with this story. Adam is one of the unheard of rock stars…you know…the one that DOESN’T want all the one night stands. He wants his forever love and he thought Bree was it. Turns out she wasn’t….but will he ever be able to find “The ONE”? Emily has crushed on Adam since she was a kid…well before MFB became a household name. But he loved Bree and she was with Chad…until she wasn’t. The two of them seem to have the same life goals, but live in such completely different worlds. Will their drunken mistake crush them or will they…somehow…find exactly what they are looking for?
3.5-4 stars. Emily has always harbored a crush on her best friend’s older brother, Adam. And now that Adam is a famous member of MFB, he has no shortage of admirers. But Adam is not a casual or fling type of guy. He wants the real deal and it’s not always easy to find someone who wants him for himself because of his fame. After being single for over 6 months, Adam now sees Emily with new eyes. Emily is newly single herself, but is uncertain that Adam has any genuine interest in her. These two have great chemistry and share a lot in common. So much so that they wake up married in Vegas one morning. What follows afterwards is the road to the relationship they’ve both always wanted, but didn’t know they could find in one another. I loved that Adam isn’t a player and was always genuine. Emily might’ve had hearts in her eyes, but Adam still had to work to earn her trust and affection. It’s a cute storyline with likable main characters who do a pretty good job of keeping things real between them without unnecessary drama or excess angst. Some parts had a rushed vibe to it, but there’s no doubt that Adam and Emily belong together.
This book had me rolling!! It had been going through the emotions..the two main characters are so easy to fall in love with..I found myself laughing with them and hoping they could work out their relationship!! You won’t be disappointed with this rock star romance!!
This is the story of Adam and Emily. Adam is the guitarist for the up-and-coming band MFB (which if you’ve read any of Lisa’s previous books, you would be familiar with both MFB and Adam) – he’s young, hot, sexy and very single….not your typical rocker, he’s not into one-night stands and is recently single after a long-term relationship. Emily is Adam’s younger sister’s best friend and has been not-so-secretly in love with him forever. He’s only ever thought of Emily as his obnoxious little sister’s friend. Until Las Vegas. Emily is all grown up and very recently single (thanks to her cheating ex-boyfriend) and tags along with her BFF to spend the weekend in Vegas with the band and to have some fun after her breakup. As soon as Adam sees Emily (it’s been a few years) – the sparks fly. She is no longer his little sister’s friend but someone he can’t keep his eyes or his mind off of.
After spending some time together before the band’s first gig of the weekend, they learn they have some things in common (they are both “relationship” people, for example) and it becomes increasingly obvious that they are attracted to each other. Post-gig, they all go out to one of the clubs to enjoy the Vegas experience and the next morning, Adam and Emily wake up together, naked, hungover, discover matching wrist tattoos and, eventually learn, a very valid marriage license. In their drunken state, these two almost-strangers, have gotten married. Their marriage video is leaked and goes viral on social media almost instantly. A series of events has them deciding to “stay married’ and the remainder of the story has them each fighting their true attraction and feelings for each other, while putting on a show of being happy newlyweds for their family and friends and for the TV cameras that are now following the band on the road as a second installment of a reality show they had done previously.
It’s another fantastic story from Lisa Suzanne and if you’ve read any of her previous books in this “series” you will not be disappointed in Adam’s story. It’s fun to “watch” Adam and Emily’s relationship evolve, as she gets used to her new lifestyle as a rocker’s wife and he learns to trust again as well as realize what true love truly is. You will enjoy re-visiting characters from earlier books (both Vail and MFB stories) as well as laugh out loud at the side story/exploits of Rascal and Adam’s sister.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right? Well not this time. The guys from MFB are back and this is Adam’s story. I love him. He invites his little sister, Amber, to come and see his show in Vegas and she brings her best friend Emily. Adam went through a bad break up 6 months ago and Emily went through a really bad break up just recently. Emily has had a crush on Adam for years but Adam always saw her as a kid, but that all changes when she walks into the hotel with Amber. What starts out as playful fun ends up as waking up married!!!! There are plenty of laughs, serious moments, the guys being the family they always have been and Adam & Emily figuring out whether there is more to their insane attraction to each other. Lisa Suzanne writes the best rock star romances. This will easily be your next 1 click!!!
A love story in the rockstar world at it’s finest! Lisa has written a fun, light sexy read! Oh and of course there is some drama thrown in! This story kept me engaged from start to finish!
Adam is one sexy rockstar with a huge heart! Emily’s crush on Adam finally becomes so much more, and their chemistry is off the charts!
I loved the flow of the story, and the characters are relatable and interesting. Simply put, Adam and Emily put a smile on my face. This rockstar romance is so well written and had me swooning!
Overall I loved Adam and Emily! Waking up Married is a best friends older brother/rockstar book. Its fun and sexy and has some laugh out loud moments! For the most part I likes the flow, I felt some parts were a little slow or repetitive, but once things got going it was hot and explosive!! Loved getting caught up on the rest of the band and their significant others too!!
Waking up Married grabbed my reading attention from the beginning. Lisa Suzanne has made a Vegas cliche believable. Emily has loved Adam over half her life . There are bumps and twists in their journey together. You will laugh and cry with them and feel as if you were part the story. I recommend this bock for you who love an awesome rock star read.
ARC Review of “Waking Up Married” by Lisa Suzanne
The story of Emily and Adam hooked me from the beginning. I really love how Adam is vulnerable and different from your “typical” rock star story right from the start. He’s a “relationship” guy, but alas, a rock star from the band MFB as well, so finding a girl to love him for who he is when not in the spotlight is always a challenge. And exhausting at that. Enter Emily Clarke, his little sister’s best friend. He’s known her since they were kids, but did she ever look like this? Well, if she did, Adam did not notice until his sister, Amber, and Emily arrive at his suite in Las Vegas to celebrate Amber’s birthday – Vegas style!
Emily, fresh off a break up from her cheating, lying, no good ex-boyfriend, Chad, is looking for a healing weekend away with her bestie. She hopes to forget about the breakup and apartment hunting that awaits her when she returns home. Little does she know that’s not all she’ll forget! As Adam opens the door to his Las Vegas hotel suite, all of those tween feelings she had towards Amber’s big brother come rushing back, but now they are mixed in with some very womanly feelings for this delicious man standing in the doorway…in his TOWEL! And he seems to be noticing how grown up she is too.
A night of concerts, after parties and fun ensues. Adam and Emily enjoy candid conversation and this new and mature attraction to one another. After Emily points out they have “recently single” status in common, they discover that the attraction isn’t just physical. There is something about who they are now that pulls them towards one another. Some conversation, accompanied with quite a few drinks and shots, stokes the feelings of mutual desire. But they both acknowledge they are more “relationship” people and don’t do the random hook up thing. As the night wears on, the chemistry and familiarity between Adam and Emily starts to make them feel like maybe one night together wouldn’t be so bad…and maybe if it went a little longer than one night that wouldn’t be so bad either…but waking up married?!
When Adam’s manager, Kylie, shows him how album sales have increased over 500% since their wedding video went viral he knows this is about to turn in a totally different direction. The plan is hatched to stay married through the airing of the new season of their reality show. Adam knows he needs to do this for the band, but can he get Emily to agree? Will she think Adam’s gestures of affection and promises are all just for the cameras? Could this be real for Emily? So many questions and the only way to answer them is to dive into this awesome read face first!
I LOVE these characters! I was not familiar with the MFB Band family/universe and now have all of those bookmarked to read now too! You will love the way Lisa draws you in and makes both characters’ hearts and anxiety so real and understandable. Enjoy!
I loved loved loved this book! From start to finish Adam and Emily had me turning the pages and ignoring the world with their crazy how did we and what happens next story. u2060This accidental Vegas marriage rockstar romance is about another member of MFB (My Favorite Band).
This can be read as a stand-alone but it’s so much better if you read Take My Heart and The Benefits of Bad Decisions
Rockstar romance , best friend’s brother romance, and just an overall great story. It kept my interest throughout. Emily has had a crush on Adam, her best friend’s brother, since she was 10. Adam saw Emily as only his sister’s best friend. Until years later she comes to Vegas to see his band play and now sees her in a totally different light. They get really drunk and end up married. His band manager decides it’s good prom for the band and to stay married for 6 months, then they can go their separate ways. The only problem is they’re falling madly in love with each other. Can they get their happy ending.
Emily and Adam have known each other forever – growing up she was his sister’s annoying best friend. Years later, Adam is a successful rockstar. Emily comes with Adam’s sister to Vegas to celebrate her birthday and see Adam’s show. A night of celebrating and drunken fun ends with a marriage and matching tattoos. This is a funny, beautifully written story of discovering love and ends with a well developed HEA. Great supporting characters who I hope we see more of! I received an advanced readers copy of this book and highly recommend it.
Emily has always had a crush on her best friend Amber’s brother Adam. After dumping her cheating boyfriend, she goes with Amber to visit Adam & his band in Vegas. After a wild night out drinking & partying, what happens when they find out they got married? Both are not into random hookups & take relationships seriously, so they must decide if they should give their marriage a try or or not. This is a fun, hot rockstar read with familiar characters making appearances. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
Waking Up Married is a good read. I really liked Adam he’s a different type of book boyfriend. He’s a rockstar but he’s not a hookup type of guy, he’s looking for a relationship. Emily is Adam’s sister’s best friend. Emily is going through a rough time. Emily has just gained an ex-boyfriend and goes to Vegas with Amber to see Adam’s band. Emily is a down to earth girl and I really liked her. These two are great characters and have a great story to tell.
I Absolutely LOVED this book!
Some may say that this romance moved along rather quickly and Yes, it did but OMG what a trip!
A best friends older brother/ rock star book that is not quite like the others.
Adam is not like the other rockstars you read about. He has heart and is a relationship type of guy, the one night stands don’t fit him.
Emily has crushed her whole life on her best friends brothers and has no idea what will happen when she and his sister go to Vegas to enjoy the weekend and watch a great show.
Obviously they wake up married yet nothing is as it seems. It’s so much more than I anticipated and well exceeded my expectations.
This is one Rockstar book I can’t help but recommend
I loved this story!
I love all of Lisa’s rockstar romances and I’m enjoying all the guys of MLB! Adam and Emily’s story was fantastic! It had me from the first page! I couldn’t stop reading!
Emily has had a crush on Adam, her best friends big brother forever. He just hasn’t thought of her that way until he sees her in Las Vegas. When they wake up married who know maybe they’ll get their happily ever after! You’ll have to read it to find out! I loved Waking Up Married and can’t wait for the next book from Lisa!
This book is so worth the time! I’ve not read a lot of Lisa Suzanne’s work, but she is now one of my favorite authors. I lost some sleep because I didn’t want to put my iPad down until I was finished.
The storyline is absolutely solid and unique. The main characters are engaging and easy to become engrossed with. Even the supporting characters are wonderfully written and intertwined into the story. They become just as interesting as the main characters without diminishing the main story.
If I could I would give this book at least 6 STARS instead of 5 stars. I liked it that much.
