Reverb, the third book in Anna Zabo's Twisted Wishes series, is a fantastic addition to this rocker series.

We've known Mish is a badass from the other books in the series, but now we get her love story, as she falls for her bodyguard. You just gotta love bodyguard romances!

When Mish is being threatened by a stalker, David's hired as her bodyguard. Once Mish drops some of her anger about the situation, they develop a great friendship. This part is just a lot of fun, with them naturally easing into a good rapport. Later on, the pansexual rocker and her transgender bodyguard start to develop a sexual relationship, causing heat and some fear.

Personally, I love the non-issue of David being a F2M, as this should be the response. And, it's extra delightful that the sex is never an issue, as Mish is pansexual. As for the sex itself, it's great.

David's mental toughness is solid, and I feel confident in saying he's a badass too. Not only physically tough, he's survived being a trans soldier, and all that this encompasses. His history is complex, but it's also not dwelled on much. Personally, I would have loved a little more background into him, but I still love him as is.

Mish and David are amazing together. Absolutely perfect for each other. They both understand the need to be true to yourself, and the need to claim the life you want. They both have made huge changes in the past and understand the need to do so.

The stalker issue is the reason the two are brought together, but the pace of this dangerous situation is not the true focus. Instead, we get more of how they develop their relationship throughout the ordeal, as well as the way being a bodyguard falling for his charge affects his ability to do his job.

Of course, it's fun catching up with the band in general, as I love the previous couples. This band, and it's members, is awesome, full of conflict and love.

One of my favorite parts of this story however, is the overall sense and meaning of family. The band is a family. They all have each other and they all support each other. David's been alone for a long time and struggles with thinking he can be a part of something so special.

There's also a superb discussion of love and changing people. Yes, we all hesitate to change ourselves for someone but love truly does change everyone.

I really enjoy Reverb. Although an MF romance, it has fantastic representation of the lgbt community. Anna Zabo excels in their representation of these characters in this beautiful tale of learning to accept love.

Reverb as a musical term is about echoes: what you don’t quite hear, what you hear too much of, what whispers on the edges of a note or a chord. A double layer of sound. Anxiety and trauma do something similar to the human body/mind—pain amplifies or muffles a signal, distorting the sound and disturbing the peace. The past is always a little audible in the present.
Readers should go in knowing Anna Zabo’s latest rock star romance starts with a stalker plot, necessary to give our bodyguard hero David and rock queen heroine Mish a reason to collide. But the real stakes in the book are about identity: David and Mish have both fought for decades to become completely themselves, and take pains not to demand anyone else bend or change or sacrifice too much out of respect for the difficulty of being a complete person. They both pride themselves on being the strong one, the caretaker, and they are happy to take care of one another (both in and out of bed—the sex scenes are delightfully switchy). This carefulness is precisely what brings the biggest conflict: two characters desperately in love with one another, deeply invested, who feel they can’t even ask for what they really want because the act of asking feels too much like demanding submission. Better to step back, to hide tears, to die quietly inside without anyone ever knowing.
It’s a little about pride—but a little about boundaries, and it’s complex and utterly gripping.
First two Twisted Wishes books were very much about characters learning how to cope; this book is about capable characters learning how to thrive, which is an entirely different challenge. I tore through the chapters, hooked as always by the vividness of Zabo’s glam-rock world and the dazzling characters—but the more I reflect on the book afterward the more allegorical it seems, like a chess game whose strategy is only revealed in hindsight. The external threat becomes a Gothic gloss on the central emotional dilemma: the villain is someone who demands what he has no right to, someone who overreaches, who ignores the plainest and most basic of boundaries. The stalker (mild spoilers?) is eventually caught but never named, which is a supremely, breathtakingly elegant way to villainize him in a romance with a trans main character where names are meaningful choices and assertions of identity.
The book feels effortless, but the gut-punch lingers—just like any good rock anthem should.

This book has a central bodyguard trope, but what is also important is that it has Mish. In the first two books in the series, we’ve gotten to know the rest of the characters quite well, but I was always intrigued by Mish and we just saw her from the perspective of her little chosen family. She's been strong badass rocker who takes no shit. In this book though, we see things from her POV and see how much there is behind the face she wears in public.

As Mx Zabo said in our interview, Mish’s book was bound to handle sexism and the difference in how media treats men or women. Mish knows it and recognises it. No matter what she does, media always finds something to criticise her, and one extreme example is the complaint about her wearing too much make-up, even though she tends to wear less make-up than her band-mate Domino.

When she gains an obsessive stalker, David comes into picture to protect her and the rest of the band. Unsurprisingly, the tight-knit Twisted Wishes family accepts him quickly and the rest of the members even encourage Mish to pursue a relationship with David if she wants.

And here’s another thing that the author constantly amazes me with: extremely explicit consent which is … very hot, as were the rest of the scorching hot sex scenes.

There were also some remarks that were just too true. For example, not just how patriarchy sucks in general, but like when David mentions that the stalker must be a straight white guy, judging by the emails he writes and his actions in general.

While Reverb does contain difficult subjects like stalking and mentions of attempted assaults, the book is also very positive and funny. The book made me chuckle a few times, especially David and his bag of dicks, or David psyching himself up by thinking he has “balls to go with his dick. Couple of sets of them, actually.”

I also had those warm fuzzy feelings when the band took care of one another. It's meaningful seeing how much they care about each other, but are also prepared to kick ass if needed. Through their interactions, especially on tour, we get to know all of them better, not just Mish.

And we cannot leave out the fact that David, the strong bodyguard, carries a teddy bear, Marly, with him.

I knew this book would be awesome – Anna Zabo has not disappointed me yet - but when I read the dedication, I was already almost in tears. I know it might not seem that much at first glance but it means so much.

I had big expectations for this book and I have to say that it ended up even better than I hoped it would. It has everything, from suspense, rock, Adrian’s coffee, love, hot, hot sex, to chosen family and, of course, the HEA.

Originally published on Love in Panels

Mish Sullivan finally has the life of her dreams. As the bass player for the band Twisted Wishes, she has money, fame, and a found family with her band members. Mish hasn’t wanted a serious relationship, but as her band members find their partners, she can’t help but feel a longing. Being in the spotlight has its downside too and Mish has attracted the attention of a stalker. Mish is fiercely independent and when she finds herself having to alter her life to stay safe, she begins to crack. When things escalate, the band hires her a bodyguard and that only further escalates the idea of Mish losing her independence.

David Altet is now out of the Army and hired for security for Twisted Wishes, and specifically Mish. David is now comfortable living as a trans man and his connection and attraction to Mish is all consuming. David knows that a relationship with Mish will only distract him from his work, but the pair cannot resist each other and they develop a deep friendship surrounded by hot nights. But, when the stalker continues his pursuit, David has to focus on keeping Mish safe and can’t see how their lives will ever mesh, however Mish certainly isn’t ready to let David go.

Reverb is the third book in the Twisted Wishes series. Mish has appeared in the first two books and David is new to the series. While their relationship stands alone, all of the other MCs are present and many references are made to previous situations. This book also showcases how incredibly close the band is and I appreciated knowing all the connections.

Mish is a strong female lead character. In the world of rock and roll, she can hold her own and has found something special with the guys in the band. She came from a more difficult childhood and no longer has any close relatives, but the band fills that void. I really enjoyed how Zabo showcases the found family the band has become and that is an integral part of the story. It’s not easy to be included in that closeness, but David fits in perfectly with them.

The relationship between Mish and David really worked for me. There is instant chemistry, along with the hesitation that David needs to stay focused on his job, but the chemistry between them wins out. David is as independent as Mish and together they could either make the perfect pair or they could get in their own way. Mish is certain about David and is all in and while David knows that Mish is his perfect match, he needs to feel useful and not like a band groupie and he lets his own doubts come through.

We get a little on David’s backstory and I liked being in his head. He’s secure with who he is as a trans man, but still has some insecurities that flare up. However, I would have liked even more backstory on him and all that he went through to get to know him a little more. The security angle was also a little lax for me. Mish has a stalker and they hire one guy, David, to run security for the entire band. They then rely on venue security during shows. This wasn’t nearly enough and for a band at their level with threats being made, there should have been an entire security team. The stalker storyline runs around the edges of the book. The stalker keeps trying to get closer to Mish and it’s making everyone off balance. The actual stalker here was not on page much, but in the end, the reveal of the stalker was a little lackluster for me, as well as what the stalker’s end game was.

The relationship between Mish and David was the draw here and this book was a welcome addition to this series. It showcased their growing feelings for each other, as well as their insecurities, and they made a great pair. I also enjoyed seeing the entire band again and the close relationship they have all created with each other. Look for Reverb for a contemporary rock star romance where all the characters find a family and a home.

Reverb is the third and final book in the Twisted Wishes series and it was a book so many of us had been highly anticipating. It follows Mish, the guitarist from the first two books of the series. Her love interest is David, her bodyguard -- yep, it's got that great bodyguard/protection trope!

I really enjoyed Reverb and I'm glad we finally got to see Mish's story. Her love interest, David, is a trans man and I'm so glad more and more novels are including trans characters -- especially older characters as David is 43. Mish is also pansexual, and when her and David meet they're instantly attracted to each other.

Mish was funny and sweet and such a strong woman. David is so soft and lovely, and I just adored the chemistry between the two. I also loved the themes of the novel which include found family -- one of my favourites. Sometimes the plot dragged a bit, which is what also happened in the first two novels, but the characters were great so it wasn't too much of a hindrance to the story.

Highly recommend!

Mish hated hospitals. Recently she had sat by Ray’s bed- the leader and singer/songwriter of their little band- Twisted Wishes. But Twisted Wishes was so little now. They had a reasonable new manager. . they were about to go to on their own heading tour across the United States. This time it was Ray by her bed with the rest of the band and social coordinator lingered behind him. All shaken up. Mish said she was fine and she mostly was. Her right hand was sprained and in a brace , her knees were bloodied and bruised. She had a few other scrapes but nothing major. Ray said “F--- you are.” He nearly broke your hand. Mish was the bass player and she couldn’t play for a couple of weeks until her hand healed. But they had a couple of weeks before the tour . She’d exercise the hand while while it healed , keep it limber. Zavier/Zav was the drummer and Rays hubby. Zav was taking Rays side. Dom was the guitarist said “ he came at you with scissors.” Mish said he wanted some hair. Adrian was their social media /tech guy was quiet. He was level headed like Zan and Doms boy toy and the oldest of them all. He said it’s not an isolated thing, she hadn’t seen the emails . Mish said she wanted out of the hospital. It galled her Adrian might be keeping secrets from her. She didn’t want to hear she had a stalker or obsessive fans or whatever it was he was going to tell her. Than the bands manager -Marcella- strode in. She said they needed protection. All of them. They were too big now not to have someone working for them. The press wall all over Mish no matter what she did or didn’t d. Too fouled mouth, too sexy, wore too much makeup.Not a lady. Too much a whore. Dom said marcella was right. That was exactly what Mish didn’t want. She loved the band but she needed to process what happened alone. Her nerves were stretched tight and her insides were a mess but she couldn’t let her bandmates see that or they’d be all over her. Her emotions were about to spill into reality. She didn’t want to cry in front of the guys. If they caught her tearing up they’d lose it. Once Ray got an idea in his head, it was nearly impossible to shake it lose. She’d be saddled with security and probably end up taking care of whoever that was too. David was on his way up to meet with the band. Ray had warned him Mish didn’t want a security detail at least not for her. For all the press he’d seen Sullivan-Mish- was no nonsense and sharp. Like several of the woman David had known in the Army. Strong. Independant. Fierce. But his job was to watch the band, protect them if they needed it. Twisted Wishes had a stellar fan base, they seem to enjoy and interact well with. They had already been labeled a must-see touring band. Fans crowded the venues and VIP tickets had sold out fast. David was attracted to Mish and he didn’t know it but she was attracted to him also. But he kept: Don’t get interested. Don’t get attached. Stay objective going through his mind. It wasn’t going to be easy as david already liked the people, which was unusual for a loner like him. Music was a haven for them all., always had been. But david thought no way was this going to end professionally after having a beer with Mish than walking her home. But for the first time he didn’t give a damn about that. After the ring- that her mother had given her the money for- was stolen, mish was a wreck inside. Than a young girl no older than thirteen gave her the ring she was wearing and several other fans gave her rings. The next morning she had an emotional hangover. Emotional hangover were worse than alcoholic ones. She didn’t get drunk that often but when she did she could blame the nausea and headache on her foolishness. This wasn’t foolishness, this was her life. Emotions she couldn’t bottle up, and some dude by doing what they often did- make her life hell because they thought she was public property. Or worse, their property. David caught the guy who stole Mish’s ring but he had already passed it off to whoever paid him to get it. David felt he had felt Mish and the rest of the band.
I loved this book. It was a good read with some twists and turns like David being trans. At first I was surprised and wondered if I wanted to continue this book but it was ok and done tastefully gave me inside to a trans person and what they go through. I am not into m/m or f/f but I skipped over the sex scenes and it worked perfectly for me. I wanted to see Mish and David happy if possible. Whether that happened you will have to read this and see. I laughed at times and tears went down my cheeks at times while reading this so it did affect me which means this is a great book when my true emotions are involved. I loved how close the band was and family to each other and how they accepted David and he too became family at least for awhile. Again read this it will be well worth it at least i believe it will. I loved how we got to see unto Mish’s life who she was before Twisted Wishes and now. This showed so much about each character . i felt like I was there and got to know and care about everyone but the bads guys of course. I loved David and Mish together and how they interacted with each other. I loved the plot and pace. I didn’t want to put this down. I loved how they author handled david being Trans and told his battle to be who he really was. I loved the characters and the twists and turns of this book and I highly recommend it.

I love Anna Zabo's books and I loved this one too. The character work and romance are just so good.

The sexual agency of both Mish and David make this book a treasure. We get the fun of a bodyguard and rocker troupe.

The nuanced address of David as a transgender male is so welcome. I really liked the settled into his skin and person of his character. His inner conflicts come from being a protector. Plus, he is super hot.

So, is Mish but she is actually much more of a closed book but the band mate dynamic is great.

The stalker plot isn't my favorite and the balance with the relationship and what these events say about each lead and their interactions with each other isn't spot on for me. They both annoy by being locked in to some ideas and I don't get enough in the HEA to relax all the way but I liked them both apart and together and wished for the very best.

Fun read and sexy!

I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.

Mish is an amazing character, larger than life. She’s been such a wonderful friend to the other Twisted Wishes characters in the previous books and I was super happy to see her getting her own HEA. It’s a hard-won one though.

David comes into her life as a bodyguard to protect her from a crazy stalker. The development of the stalker plot racks up the tension levels in the story, bringing a real sense of danger to it and intensifying the emotions Mish and David feel for each other.

David is a wonderful match for Mish. I love how in awe of her he is and how genuinely he admires her and wants to protect her. He’s torn between what he sees as his responsibility and his feelings for Mish. Dating a rock star is not easy and there comes a time when David can’t see it working anymore, and gets lost a bit in his fears or pride even. Stubborn man. I really wanted to have words with him! Luckily he comes to his senses, belatedly, but not too late.

Mish and David have amazing chemistry together, but they also share several deeply moving, meaningful moments together, the scenes with Marly especially tugging on my heartstrings quite a bit. I love the emotional intensity we get in this story and the important part the band plays as well, both musically and in the way the band members all rally around Mish when the going gets tough.

This is the first time I’ve read an m/f romance with a trans character and I really liked how that aspect of the story was written. I wish there were more stories like this one out there.

David Altet finds himself folded into the queer, quirky, teddy bear soft family of Twisted Wishes, and particularly into the arms of bass player Mish Sullivan. Only problem? He's been hired to protect her from an Internet stalker whose threats and messages become increasingly creepy and aggressive. Every fiber of David's being tells him it's a bad idea to get involved with the woman he's being paid to protect, but he can't resist. REVERB is the continuation of the story of a chosen family, a gritty tale of how we protect the people we care about, and the ways in which we have to stop protecting ourselves and take a chance. If readers aren't already in love with Ray, Zavier, Domino, and Mish, this book will bring them into the fold, just like David. Big fears are overcome in the name of big love that transcends danger and snoopy journalists and the creeping voice inside that says no, we can't.

You can't prepare yourselves for Mish!

I don't even know where to start... I love the Twisted Wishes series and I love every single book of it. Mish was a favourite right from book one and that status grew and grew so I was really excited for her to get her own book. And what a book it is. It's not a short read but it felt that way because there was not one second of boredom and the story took you along for a wild ride without asking you if you were ready
.
I'm trying to find something I can tell you about without spoilering you because you really have to experience the drama, the laughter, and the connection between Mish and David as well as the whole band too.
Sooo… I really enjoyed getting to know David? And Marley. Marley is the best.

The great thing about this series is how the other characters are not forgotten about. There is so much band love and love for music between the lines. And the little tidbits of the other pairings made me enjoy Reverb even more.

After finishing it I ended up rereading books one and two and I really want to own them in paperback too.

Last Words: I need more...

The first third of this is painfully awkward and not in a cute way. Full disclosure, I’m not a big fan of the bodyguard trope and I think it pairs poorly with instalove - especially with both people acting as tho there’s no options. At one point (around 25%) David misses something that everyone seems to downplay as not a big deal and is questioning if he should resign or not and chooses not to since he doesn’t want to leave Mish, and the band, without any security ... and wtf? I realise that recruitment and vetting takes time but it’s not like there’s a shortage of people in the field.

It kinda evens out for a bit, if one ignores the obvious ignorance about how touring bands and their crews work together (eg techs aren’t gonna be pissed if the set list changes from show to show - that’s expected, especially since this isn’t the first tour the band and crew are doing together and no, you don’t stay *after* the headliner to watch the opening act). I don’t feel much chemistry between the two characters, nor does there seem to be much in the way of relationship development, but there’s nothing glaring that breaks suspension of disbelief. It just all feels rather generic, including the stalker storyline. All of the dithering about just how “together” they would be publicly got old (as they go out, make out, etc in public) but, again, not a trope I like so I’m prolly just oversensitised.

The other characters play out happy couples, which doesn’t quite jibe with their books, but the inconsistency factor is tolerable. Though the moment Zav explains he’s aromantic to David had a strong feel of playing queer bingo. If Marcella is a lesbian and/or intersex, they’ll have a full set! While I want to cheer the representation, that makes the whole thing seem somewhat forced and defeats the purpose of just letting queer folx exist in stories cuz we’re a legit part of the landscape.

One thing that made no sense to me throughout was the reporter storyline. She’s clearly following leads from some kind of leak, not just reaching inevitable conclusions and she’s clearly out to make a name for herself. Yet David trusts her to keep a secret to protect Mish? Something she’s been trying to ferret out for weeks? Then takes her relationship advice instead of listening to literally everyone else in the story? Then they’re buddies at the end? Come the fuck on.

The “crisis” is exactly as expected and David dumps Mish for basically no reason, also as expected. I don’t get the bear thing at all - she says she wants to move on but she keeps his special bear and tells it she still loves him? Cuz “you’re not worth it to me but here’s a consolation prize” is making a clean break?? Gross.

Then he decides he’s lonely, calls himself an “utter fucking fool” and she’s like “cool, we’re together again, all is forgiven.” I mean, yay for their love or whatev but so unsatisfying. How are they gonna rebuild trust for the long haul? His isolation/angst over fucking up was enough to just erase all the issues I spent 300+ pages rolling my eyes over? I call bs.

2 1/2

This is going to be a DNF for me at 40%.

I love to read rock star novels, throw in some stalking or other drama and I'm hooked. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like a lot of thought had gone into this scenario. The stalker sending some guy to the meet and greet who steals a ring that Mish had put down on the table because her hand ached. How would the stalker even know that that would happen, that his go-between would have that opportunity? Why didn't the question come up of what was the purpose of the go-between with security or the police?

Add in lots of repetition and the lack of any real background for Mish and David (perhaps Mish's had been supplied in the previous books), lots and lots of dialogue that didn't move the story, and I decided not to continue.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this so much! Mish and David absolutely took my breath away. Full disclosure I haven’t read the other books in the series but I will absolutely rectify that because I loved seeing them in Reverb. The relationship between our two lovers is sexy as well as sweet but this book also tackles important and relevant issues like internet harassment. Also David is Mish’s bodyguard and that might be my fav trope in romance now. Absolutely recommend this lovely story.

Reverb closes out this series with a bang. It's my favorite of the Twisted Wishes stories and I really feel like Zabo's writing shines here. Mish was already a compelling character in the previous novels, and she maintains her energy in her own book. She's vivid and energetic on the page and David is a perfect match for her energy. The two maintain an excellent sexual and romantic tension on the page.

It's also exciting to read a book with a trans romance lead written by a non-binary author. David's experience feels real and isn't ever the center point of the story. There are no huge coming out moments, no tension in his gender identity, it just is.

While the novels all work together very well, you can read Reverb as a standalone.

The last member of rock band Twisted Wishes gets her story and it does not disappoint. Bass player Mish Sullivan lives life on her own terms and has attracted a stalker, causing the band to hire David Altet as security. It soon becomes clear that pansexual Mish and transgender David are attracted to each other, but David initially tries to maintain distance in order to do his job. This novel illustrates beautifully how friends become family and support each other when the going gets rough. It's good to re-visit previous protagonists, Ray and Zavier, and Dom and Adrian, who all lend support to Mish's story. I'm sorry to see this series end.

In a world where there are very few romances featuring trans heroes and heroines, it’s nice to see such characters featuring in books published by a mainstream publishing house like Carina Press. When the representation is excellent – as is the case in Reverb, which is dashing, sparkly fun from the first page to the last – the reading experience is thoroughly enjoyable.

Mish Sullivan hates hospitals.  She watched her mother die slowly from cancer in one, but now here she lies, getting checked out after punching a dude for charging toward her with a pair of scissors at a concert by her band, Twisted Wishes.  In the scuffle, Mish fell on and possibly injured her hand - bad news when you’re a professional bassist – and accidentally caused a potential scandal their up-and-coming band doesn’t need.  The scissors incident is immediately followed by a series of threatening emails, so their manager realizes they need protection, which is the last thing fiery, independent Mish wants in her life.

Military veteran David Altet happens to be the man for the job, and he soon figures out that Mish has a stalker who would rather see her dead than living her own life on her own terms.  David’s a loner, but flirty, fun Mish soon has him singing a different tune.  As a healed Mish and Twisted Wishes go back onto the road, her flirtation with David turns to much more.  Soon, David has his eye on the gorgeous woman he’s falling in love with and on an audience that could contain a murderous stalker.Reverb works for a lot of reasons; the heat between the protagonists, and their rock-solid banter, for one.  David and Mish seem compatible right from the start, and their constant back and forth combines with a sense of warm intimacy that works to break down David’s fear of abandonment and the guilt he feels over things that happened when he was serving. His self-blame is completely understandable when certain events transpire later in the book.

Mish has her own traumas, stemming from her mom’s death, her poor lifestyle choices, and the assault she was subjected to.  She was a confident, well-balanced heroine, and I really loved how take-charge she could be.She and David have a relationship made of snark, great sex, and ultimately, fearless vulnerability.  It’s a great little romance that works very well, and is dotted about with self-doubt and fear that they need to work out before they can be together.

There’s so much more to love about the book.  The camaraderie between the members of Twisted Wishes and their staff and friends on their tour was a lot of fun to read about. Everyone looks out for everyone else, and it’s a beautiful found family to become invested in.  Zabo also beautifully captures the highs and lows of touring life, from the power of playing music to the boring mendacity of setting up a VIP meet-and-greet, from the highs  to dealing with the hell of the paparazzi and downs of life on the road;  everything’s included and everything feels true to life.

The only part of the novel that doesn’t really work is the stalker mystery.  The tempo of the tension in this part of the novel ebbs and flows; at one point, for example, Mish and David have sex backstage where they could be caught while the stalker is on the loose; a classic horror movie-style mistake that doesn’t have any consequences.  The reveal of the stalker’s identity was only partly satisfying, since he’s introduced just seconds before it happens.  I expected it to be someone even closer to the band, and was a little disappointed the book didn’t have a big shocker attached to the reveal.

Aside from that Reverb is a truly satisfying romance and a well-researched tale of musicians on the rise, post-traumatic stress, love, and growth.

Great to have positive depictions of trans characters. Unfortunately, I felt the romance was contrived and the characters did not have any depth.

The plot became slow and a bit bloated

A client/bodyguard trope that was excellently done with a bit of an underlying suspense plot as well. Having the pair figure out their relationship while navigating personal struggles, the press, and a stalker was well written and resolved brilliantly. It was great to see an LGBTQ pairing that went beyond the typical MLM and FLF pairings and showing the diversity of the rainbow.

I love this band and their love for each other, Zabo has a way of writing so much feelings in to their stories it’s impossible not to be engaged and feel like I know the characters.

David and Mish is instantly connecting and it’s unique and beautiful.

The storyline is good and has a steady pace to a satisfying ending.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings, and that’s important to me.
Lots of dialogues that has meaning and reveals so much about the characters without saying it directly, that’s something I enjoyed very much.
The rawness of this story made me cry at times so have a Kleenex ready when you start reading.

Very nice rock romance, 5 stars.

A feel good rock-star romance that resonates.

A stalker is targeting Twisted Wishes' bass player, Mish, and for added protection, the band hires personality security bodyguard, David Altet. The attraction between Mish and David is intense and instant, but with Mish's safety on the line, is there room for a relationship?

I adore found family plotlines, and this entire series has that in spades. The banter always brings a smile to my face, and the connection and banter just gives me the happy feels. I was really excited that Mish got the spotlight this go round, and by the end of the book, I loved her even more. She's fierce and spirited, but she can also be open and fearless in her emotions. More, please!

Then there's David. Seeing a trans masc rep was everything. He's got enough self-confidence to hold his own with Mish, but he also draws out this sweet and flirty side to Mish that just made me happy.

The only complaint I had was that the pacing was a bit off here and there and I got a little antsy for more action. But there were plenty of steamy moments with some adrenaline punches that picked the story back up for me.

I always expect characters with so much heart and genuineness in an Anna Zabo novel, and I was not disappointed. Fans of rock star romances will find this one pulses with good vibes.

3.5 stars!
