4.5 Bassist With Benefits Stars

I have been a fan of Jenna Galicki’s for a long time. I think I have almost read everything she has written.
So I have been looking forward to this book since reading Cam and Brandon. :)

I have to say this story was so touching and scorching, fans self it will knock you off your socks.

If you have read the other books in this series, heck even if you haven’t Alan and Jeremy tell their story of falling how in love with your best-friend isn't always easy but it might just be worth all the pain to get to the other side.

It’s not easy, and things change but can they grow and change with their new feelings?
That’s really the question, and I love each of these men but in just different ways. And how they both handled there feelings.

I loved how Jeremy knew he wanted Alan long before Alan knew, I loved how Alan has to grow to see Jeremy as more than a friend, a brother, a band-mate.

You will be sucked in, going on a journey that is bumpy but well worth the ride. And bonus we get Cam and Brandon sighting! Yay!

I can't get the one night it all changed out of my mind, that was kinda sorta genius! And there is another scene way later where someone pops a tent in the bed sheets ... haha I loved that, goes to show you what loving someone can do, no matter what the circumstance is. Lust/Love can and will get you through anything.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

I'm voluntarily reviewing a free advance reader copy I received from the author.

Jeremy has been in love with his best friend and band mate since he was a teenager. They have always been involved in group activities in the bedroom, but never together. That was a line they never drew, until it happened one night accidentally. All of their dynamics changed with that one incident, and neither knew how to move forward from it. There was a lot of the stereotypical rocker behavior (drugs, alcohol, and groupies).

It took a while of them hemming and hawing, and the book moved a little slowly in the beginning as we got their background and relationship dynamics. They finally decided to act like best friends again and talk it out, and when they finally did, the book seemed to move faster. Of course, this led to them moving from friends to lovers. The scenes were really hot. They definitely had a chemistry together that made you wonder how they never got together earlier.

Brandon and Cam are still as adorable as ever. It is great to see the strong couple in the midst of all the rock and roll craziness. Gives hope that Alan and Jeremy can continue on their path toward happiness. I want to believe that they will have their HEA, but it is clear they still have some things to work out. I'm looking forward to reading Derek's story!
