A sizzling romance under wraps – what do you do
when the sparks are too bright to hide?
There’s so much going on in Vicky’s life. A
demanding job as the only female VP at a male-dominated company, good times
with her tight-knit group of best ladies, and of course, her fabulous dating
life. A committed relationship is somewhere near the bottom of Vicky’s list of
life goals. A massive fan of new beginnings and the thrill of being swooned off
her feet, Vicky has the perfect formula: date, for a limited period, and never
exclusively.
Not many people go to sleep anonymous and wake
up the next morning a worldwide sensation. With a voice that melts hearts, and
a dangerously lethal smile, Ricky’s overnight fame means he can have anyone he
wants, but the one he wants isn’t into a serious relationship. To make matters
worse, pursuing her goes against his record contract stipulation to remain
single.
Opposites don’t simply attract – they detonate.
When a forbidden sizzling
affair sparks between the music industry’s newest heartthrob and an ambitious
corporate world prodigy, it brings along an ageless question – would you give
up your dreams for a chance with The One?
Vicky + Ricky.
They're part of the same circle of friends. They have these mega sparks and an amazing insta connection. But... Vicky doesn't do relationships, right? Our Ricky would be very willing ... But he's also about to be a huge rock star and the record company wants him single.
But he's not giving up on his dream girl...
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH VICKY + RICKY?
WILL WE GET A HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
BUY THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺
You had me at ROCK STAR! 😍
This book was adorable! I really liked reading it.
It was funny, cute, sparky, sexy, rock stary and a bit heartbreaking.
I didn't love his name. No idea why... but I can't take a guy called Ricky serious as a hot rock star! Patrick is his real name - the first one who ever called him Ricky as a grown up needs to be hit over the head with my kindle!🤣
And I hated all those becoming-a-rock-star 'laws'. I would've never signed that contract. He's not a 17 year old boy band cutie. He's a grown man! He could've made it on his own! Grrr. I hated that manager lady at first.
But anyway. The story was really sweet and anything rock-stary will always be my favorite kind of book!
Can't wait to see what Kayla's story will be like next - By Fate!
BY CHANCE was an adorable and funny and sparky rock-star-y romance! Please run to your nearest amazon for your own Patrick - this one is mine! MINE!
ARC received for an honest review
I enjoyed the first book in the Poison and Wine series, so it was a no brainer to dive into book 2.
This is Victoria's book - she is the sister of Anna from book 1, and her rock star FWB.
But first - ugh, Ricky as a name for a full grown man just, I don't know, felt childish to me (unless it is Ricky Martin, as he just couldn't be called anything else).
And then we come to Ricky and Vicky - ummmmm
Don't get me wrong, I like them but those names together are like a primary school boyfriend and girlfriend. But this is just my weirdness so ignore me for this hahah.
I liked that they were friends before his fame hit, and I liked the way they negotiated their way through that - though I was mad at Ricky for the way he dealt with managers and contracts and things. I am glad that he finally stood up to all that BS.
And there was also a "thing" that as soon as it happened I was waiting for the followup "thing" *insert eye roll*. Can we please get rid of that trope in alllll books (Sorry Sigal, this is my bugbear and I say his in every review with it).
I know it sounds like I didn't like this at all, but that is not true. I did like it, just the actions and the tropey things I was not a fan of.
I am looking forward to the next installment of this series.
