What happens on tour in Europe doesn’t stay on tour in Europe. Especially when you’re a rock star’s fake girlfriend.

Harper Grey

As assistant tour manager for the Tin Gods, I love my job. Especially the delicious eye candy that is their manager, Tyler Worthington. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a partner—attractive, polished, and above all, the definition of stable. Too bad he doesn’t see me as anything other than a worker bee.

Always helpful, the Tin Gods drummer has a brilliant plan: I should fake date guitarist, Xander Lang, to make Tyler finally see me. WHAT?!

Xander Lang

Tyler sold his soul to the devil. It’s the only explanation I have for why he approved my ex-girlfriend as our opening act. Our relationship was the definition of toxic. Cue our drummer’s harebrained scheme.

And honestly, I’m all in. It’ll keep my ex off my junk and help Harper with drama in her life too. Simple. Only problem is once we start “dating” lines get blurred. Her kisses don’t feel like someone who’s pretending. And when did Harper get so sexy?

Now I’m tangled in a clusterf*ck of emotions and confusion. So much for simple.

 

Angsty and drama-filled! The next book in Gillian Archer’s Tin Gods rockstar romance series is Ballad and centers on Xander Lang and all that surrounds him. He’s newly single and trying to pick up the pieces of the cluster his life has become when all of a sudden he’s being told that his ex is their new opening act for their European tour. The characters are easy to like and the plot had my attention quickly. I wanted a little more to the abrupt ending. Follow up on what happened with one character, more completion on where the relationship was going, etc.

Harper is their assistant tour director and crushing on band manager Tyler when her friend and band drummer Noah comes up with the bright idea that she pretending to be dating X will solve both of their problems. Tyler will see how cool she is and Xander’s ex will see him with someone else instead of pining after her. Now if only the drama didn’t keep pouring in.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a steamy rocker romance with lots of angst along the road to forever.
