Opposites attract in these new adult contemporary romances, in which self-proclaimed "good girls" explore their wild sides by hooking up with brooding hotties whose bad reputations disguise sensitive souls. Steamy and drama-filled, both series emphasize the transformative power of love. -- NoveList Contributor

Both authors construct explicit contemporary romances with an emphasis on famous or otherwise elevated men paired with sassy everyday women.

Booklist Review

Evelyn wakes up on the morning of her twenty-first birthday with a half-naked rock star in her hotel room and a Cartier diamond ring on her finger. The diamond rivals the enormity of her hangover. When she realizes she's a newly minted Vegas bride, she's not quite sure what to do next, since the preceding night was a blur. Turns out her hubby, David, guitarist for the band Stage Dive, was not as drunk as she was the night before in fact, he was completely sober, so only he knows what actually happened leading up to the ceremony (including how his name got tattooed on her left butt cheek). As Evelyn tries to determine how the events unfolded and what to do about the aftermath she realizes it might not be so bad to be married to a really hot rock star who is fantastic in the sack. This is a funny and wildly entertaining contemporary romance that will appeal to new adult romance fans.--Vnuk, Rebecca Copyright 2014 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

Scott's first Stage Dive contemporary is a delightful romantic romp. Evelyn Thomas is anticipating a carefully constructed career and life. A weekend birthday bash in Vegas is intended to be a passing indulgence, not a world-shattering event. But then there is David Farris, an uncompromising musician with the good looks and raw charisma his job demands. Can a night that begins with too much tequila and ends with a diamond ring and an Elvis impersonator as officiant really lead to a lasting relationship? This funny rock-and-roll fantasy delivers both sweet romance and steamy passion. Scott wholeheartedly develops hilarious and endearing characters in a love letter to guitar gods and the women who adore them. This whirlwind of excitement is expertly punctuated with moments of tenderness and heartache. The contrasts and conflicts of the glamorous Los Angeles fame culture and the private difficulties of the real world blend effortlessly into a satisfying resolution. (May) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Library Journal Review

Evelyn Thomas has always stayed on the straight and narrow: getting good grades, avoiding boys, and pursuing architecture for her father's sake. But she plans to change all that for one wild night in Vegas-her 21st birthday. What she doesn't plan on is waking up on the bathroom floor with a splitting headache and a massive ring on her finger, courtesy of rock star David Ferris, her new husband. Highs and lows (and lots of sex) abound as the two try to navigate their nuptials away from annulment and toward marital bliss. Scott (Flesh; Skin) has crafted a thoroughly entertaining erotic romance in this first book in her "Stage Dive" series, with endearing, interesting characters both primary and secondary. "Ev" is a delightfully relatable protagonist, with pluck, neuroses, and a fantastic sense of dark humor; her chemistry with the sarcastic albeit sensitive rocker David is tangible from the start. The novel moves at a steady pace that is realistic without trudging, although things don't start getting steamy until halfway through. Those seeking more immediate, explicit gratification might do well to look elsewhere-the LJ 3/15/14 column, for a start! The action that does take place is hot and sweet, perfectly embodying the novel's overall tone. VERDICT Scott has gotten off to a strong start with this fun, sexy story that also introduces plenty of intriguing characters for sequels (Play is scheduled for August; Lead, November). Libraries that circulate erotica and erotic romance should definitely consider. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
