Summary

An ambitious exec and a reluctant rock star sizzle in this workplace romantic comedy about music’s redemptive power, hogging the bed, and finding love.

Bright and ambitious Marin Collins sees her new internship with a prestigious PR firm as a stepping stone to a much-needed permanent position. But her plans for career success are derailed when she’s assigned to go on the road with rock band Kings Quarters, hailed by Rolling Stone as the next big thing. To gain full-time employment, she’ll need to stick to her “no workplace romance” policy and resist the sexy and nerdy rock star on the tour bus.

Enter Brad Osterhauser, the reluctant guitarist who would rather be coding computer games than penning Grammy-nominated songs. While grateful for the band’s success, he’s trapped on tour out of loyalty to the brother and bandmate who helped him escape a depressing home life. His outlook about the current tour improves immensely when he’s smitten by the smart and stunning PR executive who joins the tour.

Traveling by bus, city to city, with a group of practical joking bandmates and a greedy manager, Marin and Brad forge a friendship and forbidden romance over a shared love of Seinfeld episodes, stolen moments, and Red Vines.

Will Marin and Brad’s secret passions destroy both their careers, or take desire to the ultimate encore? 

If you love a slow burn romance with laugh-out-loud moments, forced proximity, and sizzling chemistry, scroll up now to buy the book.

Great story, characters, and narrators!

I really enjoyed listening to this one! Great story, characters, and narrators! Also loved that the epilogue mentioned most (if not all) characters in the story, not just Brad and Merin. This is just the first book in a series, but everything was tied up in a neat little bow at the end.

Narrators Sebastian York and Erin Mallon did not disappoint!

Starfish is a slow burn, rockstar romantic comedy written in dual first-person POV, recorded in dual narration. It's the first book in the Starfish series and ends with an HEA.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Sleep like a Starfish

When Marin gets a new assignment she has no idea where that will take her. She was expecting something entirely different from the PR role she landed with Kings Quarters, a rock band that is traveling the country. As she gets to know the band though she comes to love her position as well as one of the band members even though she can't act on those feelings.

Brad enjoys playing in the band and the perks that come with that but when he first meets Marin he could all of a sudden care less about the groupies and after parties. He just wants to spend time with her. Now to convince Marin they can be together.

This is a fun and funny romance that takes time to get there. The characters are all likeable and I got wrapped up in the goings on of the group. Loved the side characters as well, Marin's bestie Grace is fun and loveable too. There is of course drama to deal with and family issues as well as underhanded moves by some. I really enjoyed listening to this book and highly recommend it.

Erin Mallon and Sebastian York are fantastic as always. Their timing is spot on and they brought out these characters. Loved listening to both of them from beginning to end.

Perfect balance of sweet and steam

This book charmed me with its perfect balance of sweet and steam. Brad and Marin share tender friendly moments, while desire burns in their blood until they can’t deny it anymore. And when they finally do the deed, it’s passionate and hot. Perfect balance. And there’s a lot of fun too! Hilarious situations, playful conversations, some stupid games, crazy side characters… there’s a good laugh here.

I didn’t buy the reason why Marin refuses a relationship with Brad though, nor the way they end it–don’t worry, there IS a HEA. They both look more like excuses than good reasons. But hey, even in real life, people make stupid decisions.

Two talented narrators perform the audiobook, giving life to the main couple, but also to an array of fun characters–you’ll love Grace, and Oliver.

Sweet, steamy, fun, and with a beautiful HEA. Why haven’t you read it already?

Slow Burn

Cute rock-star romance. I liked that not all of the band members were cliches. It's unusual for a rock-star romance to also be a slow burn. That made for a nice twist on the trope. Brad and Marin had chemistry right away and had so much in common despite their differences.
This was a very entertaining listen made even better by two rock-star narrators.

So wonderful

I missed doing a review and thought hey this one deserves another listen! Yes it’s that good!

I mean with Erin Mallon (who just may have the best male voice for a female narrator) and that most sexy voice of the unicorn SebYo as the amazing narrators call me baked because I am done and may need a while for reminiscing over this wonderful story.

Marion and Brad are such a sweet couple and the laughs and oh my you didn’t moments made for such an amazing time with this book. No wonder it was an award winning book Lisa Becker! And I became a new fan!

A perfect slow burn romance...

I felt part of this story from the beginning. Perfect description and character build gave my imagination all I needed to be there!

A perfect HEA with a few ooo's and arh's along the way...

I loved the meaning of the book's title...

Narration.... No words really required... 5* PERFECTION!

A Stellar Read & Listen

My very first book from Ms. Becker and definitely not my last. I chose this book when I listened to Viviana’s Audio Lovin Podcast and she was the guest author. I did not know what to expect in terms of writing style but the story had me hooked and I could not put it down. A slow burn love story that was done perfectly.

Brad and Marin’s relationship were the sweetest #relationshipgoal. And to be narrated by two of my favourite narrators Sebastian York and Erin Mallon were just perfection. They brought this story to life. Brad is a new favourite #bookboyfriend. Some of the things he did and said to Marin was so swoony, it gave me all the feels.

I highly recommend this book. One of the best romantic comedy I read and listened to this year.
