SOAK UP THE SUN
by Tanith Davenport
GENRE: Erotic Romance
BLURB:
A weekend of summer fun leads to a passionate escape in the sun.
When Tamarie Morgan goes to PeakFest with her friends, her primary concern is avoiding her friend Veca’s creepy boyfriend, Sy, who drunkenly assaulted her two months previously and has refused to leave her alone ever since. However, when Tamarie is checking out the stalls and connects with Kaleb McAdams, the drummer for headline act Puppetmaster, a heated encounter backstage leads to Kaleb inviting her to ditch the festival with him. Kaleb wants her to be his plus-one at lead singer Cassian’s wedding—and when Veca and Sy break up the following day and start packing to leave, Tamarie and her friend Dannika decide to take Kaleb up on his offer.
Tamarie is initially impressed by the glitz and glamour of being a rockstar girlfriend, even for a short period of time, but is abruptly brought back down to earth when the press get a compromising photograph of her and her reputation is called into question. She soon realises that for her Kaleb is more than a brief fling, but when the other band members’ plus-ones tell her being a rockstar girlfriend has an expiry date, Tamarie finds herself wondering if they’re right. Will Kaleb still want her after the wedding is over, and can she deal with all that being a rockstar girlfriend involves?
EXCERPT:
“Have you told him his disguise isn’t as good as he thinks it is?”
Matt chuckled. “It’s keeping most of the fans at bay, so it’ll do for now. We’re going back in a bit anyway. We only popped out to soak up some sun.”
A glint lit up in Dannika’s eyes.
“Think you could get us backstage?”
Matt looked unfazed.
“Normally I couldn’t, since we’re not in charge of the security here, but on this occasion I can. My brother is one of the security guards for PeakFest.”
Kaleb appeared next to him, obviously having overheard this.
“I leave you alone for two minutes and you’re bringing girls backstage? Whatever will I do with you, Matt?”
“Like you’ve ever complained about having girls brought backstage.” Matt’s eyes were fixed on Dannika, but he spared Tamarie an appraising look. “So why not?”
“Having girls brought backstage.” Tamarie had a pretty good idea what that meant. She knew Puppetmaster’s lead singer was getting married, but the other band members were single, so they probably took any chance they could to get fans into bed—or over the table, or wherever was convenient.
But she had never been backstage before, and Kaleb was hot. Plus the alternative was going back to the others without Dannika to act as a barrier between her and the creep.
“Sure. Let’s go.”
She felt Kaleb’s hand on the small of her back as she followed Matt, and a tingle ran down her spine at the touch.
What the hell.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
This was a quick fun read. Tamarie was actually a sweet and intelligent woman who had made a mistake. While dodging that mistake, her path crossed Kaleb's. There was a quick connection between them, and Tamarie found support, love, and home. Kaleb protected her in more ways than one, and she gave him hope for his future. I enjoyed this story.
