Summary
A rock star walks into a bar....
Certified behavioral counselor (and former band groupie) Becca Forrester needs a break. Taking a leave of absence from her job, she moves into the apartment over her parents’ garage and clinches a gig waitressing at a dive bar known for bringing in big name musicians.
Cedric “Linx” Lincoln is a certified rock star. Bassist for the hugely popular rock band Dimefront, he’s in Denver while the band is on hiatus a-freaking-gain. He's looking for something - anything - to keep him occupied until they can all get back to making music. When he saunters into his friend’s bar, he finds the perfect diversion.
Becca’s presence is a breath of fresh air. The sizzle she ignites in him is precisely what he needs. Bonus: no-stress, no-strings hookups are his specialty. But when things between them tip toward serious, his band implodes, and Becca's leave of absence ends, they’re forced to decide what their “real” lives should look like. Maybe there’s room for an encore....

Fast, fun and light
As this author is brand new to me I was excited to read their rockstar rom-com and it was far from a disappointment. Linx and Becca are both taking breaks from their lives (Becca from being a groupie turned therapist and Linx from performing with the band Becca used to be a groupie for) They meet in a bar and the connection is instant. Their hookup to more journey was light on the couple angst but it was the side characters that brought most of the drama. And boy can I not wait for the next book in this series. This had everything I wanted. Banter, fun and well developed characters and the audio was A+. I totally would recommend this. I volunteered to read and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Fantastic and funny!
Every time I listen to Christina Hovland, I am treated to a wonderful romance and a hysterical story. I can't even say how many times I laughed out loud! This is the first in a spin off series of the Mile High Club and Hovland has a winning tune! It features Linx(Cedric) and Becca. These two meet at a bar, and immediately we have combustible chemistry. A fan of his band, Becca knows who he is, but isn't your typical fan girl. She is not looking for long term and for the time being Linx is good with that. And from there we laugh and fall in love with this couple. But I have to say, the scenes with their families are the ones that stick in my mind. I was cracking up with Becca's mom and her pop rocks and the surprise visit by Linx's family. And we can't forget Babushka. Always filled with sage advice, she brings levity to the story. I loved Becca's no nonsense look at life and her psychological evaluations and techniques. And Linx is just a sweet, man that is impossible not to love despite any flaws. This is a #1 hit in my book!
Stella Hunter and Zachary Webber are fantastic together. I love this team and their voice compliment each other. Their comedic timing is spot on and the emotions there when needed. I loved this performance and cant's wait to see what happens in book 2!

Great listen
I have enjoyed this very much. Becca taking a break from her demanding job, Cedric/Linx taking an unwelcome break from his job as a rockstar....walked into a bar. I lived Becca's kind, down to earth attitude and Cedric's kind heart. Oh and the terror that is Gibson! This is a lovely, slow burn romance which is also funny and sweet.
Both Stella Hunter and Zachary Webber are excellent narrators and bring both the story and the characters to life. Fabulous 💖💖💖💖💖

5 ROCKING STARS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
PLAYED BY THE ROCKSTAR
BY CHRISTINA HOVLAND
NARRATED BY ZACHARY WEBBER & STELLA HUNTER
I really enjoyed this book as there was no broken Rockstar just a Cedric a frustrated guy whose band mates just can’t get their shit together which forces the band into a break.Cedric enters a bar where Becca Forrester works after taking a break herself from a career as a Therapist. It’s instant attraction and off the scale hotness they just can’t deny and so it’s a very hot book but alongside this you will have some laugh out loud moments from the older characters in the book. This book is fabulous and made even better buy the amazing narration from Zachary Webber and stella Hunter. This was my first book from Christina, I’m already lining up the next one.

Smooth talkin' rockstar
What an absolute delight Played by the Rockstar was. Christina Hovland really brought the humor to the forefront here. I could barely stand the situation with Gibson throughout the story. I don’t think I’d ever been so shocked into laughter before. Cedric, I feel the name Cedric fits this cat-loving man with a large heart and a fierce determination for his passion more than Linx. I think Linx was his pre-Becca name. I love his determination though. Cedric has come to a brick wall in his life and he needs to figure out his next move. Here comes Becca putting his life into perspective for us. We should all have that person that quiets our minds. Becca might help Cedric but feels like her life is spiraling out of control around her. She’s no longer happy with her previous goals.
The narration by Zachary Webber and Stella Hunt was great. Of course, if you’re an audio lover than you know Mr. Webber can channel his male counterparts flawlessly. He has this strong and gruff kind of voice that you could see singing in a rock band. He’s also playful and serious. He covers a range of emotions with just his voice… that is surely a talent. Then we have Stella Hunt playing Becca’s part. Becca is slightly quirky and fun. To come from such a serious and stressful position, she plays a lot. Her and Cedric’s have an enjoyable banter that really transfers to their voices. I enjoyed the narration a lot. The duo isn’t just fun, oh no, these two are scorching hot when put together.

Adequate
The story and writing are sound. The characters are spoiled by the gauche archness that doesn't otherwise fit with the persona.
There is clean sexy and dirty sexy; the author seems confused in her chosen direction.
As a reader, Stella Hunter is good. Zachary Webber has a lovely voice to listen too, but his reading lacks vitality. I actually found him comforting that he sounded like being read to by a friend. He has unpracticed breath control.
