*Check for triggers*

This book gave me everything I was looking for: angst, push & pull, spice, a little heartbreak, and alllll the romance. I HIGHLY recommend listening to the song they sing at karaoke while your read that scene. I was tearing up from how romantic it was πŸ₯Ί

I liked that this book was a rockstar romance, but had workplace romance mixed it. Cassie is Zac's guitar tech on tour and they fall together after things take a turn with Cassie's ex-fiancΓ©. Zac and the band never looked down on Cassie, and they made sure to include her. I loved how they took care of her and included her in their world.

Cassie endured a lot in her life, but she never let it dim her light. Cassie was a little lost once she was confronted with her new reality, but she finds her way. I love that she found a passion outside of her partner.

Zac is such a sweet, yet infuriating rockstar. I said out loud at one point that he was so infuriating πŸ˜‚ I understood where his fears stemmed from. I felt connected to him deeply when he talked about his parents and resentment.

The spice in this book is good. Zac has a piercing that I'm going to need to experience...for science purposes, obviously. Think Cassie will loan me her man for research purposes? πŸ˜‚

Thank you to L.M. Dalgleish and Foreword PR for the ARC!

Description:
*The description comes directly from Amazon's website*

What started with a kiss just might end up breaking all his rules—and her heart...

For guitar tech Cassie Elliot, being trapped on tour with her suddenly-ex-fiancΓ© is like a bad dream.
She never expected to be rescued from her nightmare by one of the hottest rock stars in the world—Zac Ford, the enigmatic, sexy bass player for Fractured.
One impetuous moment, a kiss that shouldn’t have happened, and now they’re stuck pretending to be in love.
She’s determined not to develop real feelings for a man who’s only doing her a favor, though.
Because Zac may have kissed her, but that doesn’t mean he wants her.
And there’s no way falling for him could end in anything but more heartbreak…

Zac let his control slip one time, and now his distractingly pretty guitar tech is staying on his tour bus, sharing his hotel room, and looking at him in a way that almost makes him forget what’s real and what’s not.
But fake is all their relationship will ever be. Because there’s no way he’s going to allow himself to get emotionally involved with any woman.
Particularly not one who goes against all his rules like Cassie.
The music, the fans, and getting his next album finished—that’s all he cares about.
And he won't let one little kiss change that…

Fractured Kiss is the fourth book in the Fractured Rock Star adult contemporary romance series and can be read as a standalone. It's a steamy, angsty, slow-burn, fake relationship/forced proximity love story with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after (HEA).
