Not rating as it just wasn't for me and I DNF'd at around 30%, so. I know I wouldn't have a clue how to anyway.

I can see that having never read romance/ erotica, it's going to be a tricky process of trying to find the right thing and seeing if this is a genre I actually enjoy. I definitely want to give it a go.

Anyways, your mileage may vary.

There is a simple reason I liked this book least of all books I've read by this author. I hate when a break up situation is placed entirely on one side, and that individual has to jump through hoops to get the other to even talk to them again. Especially when it wasn't one person's fault & both characters acted completely out of character just to have 'an issue' occur & and to react out of character in that situation.

For fuck sake, there were a million & one possible plot lines open. The two major ones did get touched on but neither were really the cause of the issue and neither, for that matter got resolved (Collins dates almost exclusively, before now, airhead who she only really gets along with because the are good in bed and willing to be controlled by her - Meg is not an airhead and is just as stubborn as Collins; Meg just sleeps with people, she doesn't do relationships & doesn't do dating (beyond what is needed to get a woman to fuck her). A lot of potential for conflict here, eh? It did come up, it did play a part in what happened, but more as background. And the issues were more brushed aside, and less dealt with and/or the cause of stuff. ( Collins found she liked, preferred a non-airhead stubborn woman, & had emotions, not resolved, that she 1) didn't need to control things, 2) liked when Meg was forceful and stuff (for the most part); On Meg's side - there were signs, in places, that she occasionally liked Collins bossy side; Meg seemed more okay with dating/relationship s than expected, though did 'have something ' to do with conflict point).

By the way, part of my problem with the characterization as presented, at least for Meg, is that it doesn't really line up with hints dropped in other books. Including the hints that Meg was in a secret relationship & other such stuff. ( Collins is/was not the secret relationship because the rest of the band knew about the relationship almost immediately after it started because of loose lips )

The first two books were about the Rush sisters, who are also the writers of the songs the band performs. Or they were. This book stars Zoey, the only non-lesbian in the band, who has been asked, along with Meg, to help with the writing. The title of this book, which is a common theme in this series (and the series itself gets its name from the band's second album title, which is also the name of a song), is the name of a song. A song Zoey wrote.

The other main character is Pia, comedian and host of a popular television show. Pia is roughly 20 years older than Zoey and has been previously married. Which plays an important role in this book (more the dead wife and less the age difference).

The two meet at Madonna's New Year's eve party. They have an interesting encounter but Zoey is straight and Pia doesn't think she can 'do' relationships. Not after her wife died.

Naturally, the two meet again. About six months later. When the band is releasing singles running up to the release of their second album. Which will include an appearance on Pia's show.

The two reconnect, and stuff. But, you know, issues.

This is either my third favorite book in the series, or my second least favorite book in the series.

There were issues I had with the book that I cannot recall at 2:51 am. Though not huge issues.

Rating: 4.45

A cute funny story about two women in the music business and both are already successful and famous before the start of the series.

My second favorite book of the series.

Stars Billie Rush, lead singer and co-writer of her band. The band's first album was hugely successful but it has been a while since it was released - mostly because the writer has writer's block. No, not Billie, the other part of 'co-writer', Billie's sister Dom. As an aside, a big point was made that the first album was written by both sisters writing together, so much so that the constant mention in later books in the series of how Dom was THE writer annoyed the hell out of me. But whatever.

Well, as I was attempting to get to: Billie is still writing but she always edged more in a different direction than the band has positioned itself - her sister 'helped' hmms, smoothing things out. Billie tends to write sappy happy love songs. So they 'can't ' just make the second album be filled with only Billie's songs because that's ...something or other.

Enter: The band's manager mentions an opportunity - work with a famous musician starting a solo career. Billie is reluctant but agrees. Vero, for her part, has been ignoring her manager so didn't even know Billie was going to be visiting her at her home.

Cute story. Though Vero has massive issues to get through and stuff.

Rating: 4.75
