Synopsis

Jack was a rock star on the way to fame. Leila was following her dream and joining his band as a back-up singer. An insane attraction sparked between them that they couldn’t deny. Attraction quickly led to so much more. They ignored all the warnings and fell in love. When the couple embark on their tour, they couldn’t be more excited to travel the country hand in hand on the way to stardom. The road ahead is filled with miles and miles of possibilities. Along with their band, Devil’s Lair, they feel nothing could stop them. An angry ex-band-mate, a pregnant ex-girlfriend, and never-ending Internet gossip all attempt to wreak havoc on their developing relationship. New love does not mix well with stress, pressure and guilt. Together they face each and every challenge, stubbornly fighting for what they have. Will their determination be enough?

My Review

Front & Center picks up right where Back Up leaves off. Be sure to read Back Up first. Jack and Leila continue to follow their dreams of rock stardom but there are those who have issues with their happiness. There is the usual drama of the pregnant ex-girlfriend, is the baby Jack's or not. The ex-bandmate who wants to derail Devil's Lair's success, and living on a tour bus for months at a time. Jack and Leila work together to get through these trials, but there are times when that's not enough. These two are so deeply in love that they want to make it all work. We also get to know some of the other bandmates better as well as Leila's former band, The Cliffhangers. I enjoyed this book very much. There are some hot sex scenes and Jack is perfect for Leila. I also enjoyed the crossover of bands from other books. 4 out of 5!
