*** 4.5 Stars***I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Ethan’s book after finishing Face the Music since he was the last man standing (not including Chris, but we all know that IF *crossing toes that it’s more of a when instead* it’s gonna be doozy) and the resident manwhore commitment phobe of the group because I NEEDED to see the man brought to his knees, and dear lord did he ever get brought to his knees ~ both figuratively and literally. And though my eyes hurt from all the rolling they did thanks to Taylor and Ethan, I absolutely enjoyed watching these two get their HEA in the end.
It seems crazy for me to admit this, but I ADORED Ethan. I wanted to throttle him quite a bit throughout the book, but the man made me swoon. I loved his determination and just how honest he was, with himself and everyone else, even when he didn’t need to be. Taylor, I loved her, I did, but she did try me at times. It was understandable considering her age and just how she grew up, but I have to say that did enjoy watch her come into her own.
Their journey to the HEA was definitely unique, frustratingly so, but also quite enjoyable. I have to admit that while the pranks were quite epic, I was happy when they slowed down because I thoroughly enjoyed watching as Ethan and Taylor stumbled their way through their attraction and feelings towards each other because they were both dealing with the unknown in more ways than one. I loved their flow and the chemistry between them was smoking hot. While both of them had their issues and both made mistakes, I will say that I tended to be team Ethan ~ shocked the shit out of me, to be honest ~ but the man just did it for me. But in the end, I was very happy with how everything turned out for them.
This was a great read and a great way to finish out the series ~ though I am crossing my toes that we’ll get head back into this world one day and see how everyone is doing. And speaking of the others, I loved getting to spend time with everyone ~ Jesse, Bethany, Ryder, Jade, Ben, Ashleigh and Elliott ~ Elliott was AWESOME ~ and seeing how their relationships have all evolved and gotten stronger. There are some situations/issues that pop up that may be triggers for some, so be prepared.

Taylor Marsten looks like a guy.
How was I supposed to know there was a woman hiding beneath her baseball hat and baggy clothes? I piss off the stubborn roadie one time, and she starts a prank war. Back and forth we go using public humiliation as a weapon. Our situation turns complicated when I find myself searching her out. I want to piss her off just to receive retaliation. I get off on her attention.
Our prank war isn’t a war at all. It’s foreplay.
Ethan Crow is an idiot.
He insults the way I look, demands I fill his bed with willing groupies, and threatens to have me fired from the tour. He thinks because I’m only eighteen I’ll crumble under his rock star authority, but he ticked off the wrong roadie. What starts as a battle feels more like a dance, and with thousands of women within Ethan’s reach, he only reaches for me.
Are his feelings for me genuine, or has he managed to pull off the cruelest prank of them all?
