One shirtless drummer.
One PR manager who can’t afford a mistake.
One world tour about to explode.

In the world of Untamed Coaster, the music is loud—but the chemistry is deafening.

Río Sullivan lives for chaos—sold-out arenas, headlines, and the kind of trouble that follows him everywhere.

Until one reckless afternoon at the Trevi Fountain goes too far.

Now his career is on the line—and Hayden Vaughn is the one assigned to keep him under control.

She’s focused. Careful. Responsible for everything that matters in her life—including her younger sister.

Babysitting a shirtless disaster on a world tour? Definitely not part of the plan.

But Río isn’t who she expected.

Because beneath the chaos is a man who’s spent his life never being chosen—and who sees Hayden in a way no one else ever has.

From Rome to Barcelona to the red carpets of Hollywood, the line between professional and personal doesn’t just blur—it burns.

When his actions spark a scandal that threatens everything Hayden has worked for, Río has one last chance to prove he’s the man she can trust—with her future.

 

Delightfully scandalous and filled with heart! The fifth book in the Untamed Coasters series is all about that sexy drummer Rio. He’s attention grabbing and the life of the party, but all that partying is getting him into trouble that the label just doesn’t want anymore, so he’s being reeled in like never before. Hayden is traveling with the band to handle the PR, but she never expected to be assigned as the babysitter to a grown man … yet here she is.

The main characters both have a rich back story that brings their situations to the forefront and explains a lot of the pressure that each is under. I liked them both a lot, but did feel like there were spots that were underdeveloped, but they still worked and made me happy throughout.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a rockstar romance with lots of drama, lots of love and respect for each other and sexy love stories as each member finds their forever.
