Play Nice (The Devil's Share) by L.P. Maxa







BLURB:
Rock a stadium. Bang a chick. Repeat. As lead singer of The Devil’s Share, Dash Conner could get anything or anyone he wanted—until he met Lexi Grant.


SYNOPSIS:


                                                                 MONEY. FAME. WHISKEY. SEX.

For Dash Conner, lead singer of The Devil’s Share, everything he wanted was his for the asking. Whiskey. Drugs. Money. Sex. But not Lexi Grant. For the first time since he picked up a guitar, a girl was actually demanding he woo her. For a chance with her, Dash would do that and more.

Lexi Grant was no groupie. Just because the biggest rock star in the world smiled at her didn’t mean she had to fall into bed with him—but it was going to be awfully hard to resist that impish smile and those tatted abs. Surely one night of fun wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Unless that night ends with a broken condom.

For Lexi and Dash, that’s just the beginning. Add an overly affectionate pit bull, a missing guitarist, a house full of sorority girls, a junkie ex-bandmate and an extreme aversion to Jäger, and it’s either a recipe for disaster or true love.

Excerpt:

Amy elbowed me in the ribs, “Uh, Lex? Dash is staring at you.”

In order to keep myself from ogling him, I’d taken up counting the number of topless women in the crowd. FYI: I got to twenty without even having to search that hard. I looked back in Dash’s direction. Yep, he was staring. I smiled. I couldn’t help it. He smiled back. His smile was one of those panty-dropping megawatt smiles—the kind that makes you feel like you are the only person in the world that could elicit that particular smile, even though you know logically many a girl have been lured in with it.

Dash kept his eyes on mine, but spoke into his microphone. “Uh, guys? There is a sexy brunette standing over here to my right. Does she belong to one of y’all? Please tell me she doesn’t.” He winked at me again. Amy had a death grip on my arm.

Luke stood up and peered over his drums trying to see into the shadows to where we were standing. “Is she standing next to a blonde chick with big blue eyes that’s drooling even though she’s clearly wearing a wedding ring?” The crowd laughed and so did Amy.

Dash chuckled, “As a matter of fact, yes she is.”

Luke nodded and sat back down. “That’s my friend Lexi.”

Dash’s smile grew. “Well isn’t that just the best thing I’ve heard all night. So, Lexi…are you enjoying the show?”

I couldn’t help but laugh at this situation. A rock god was flirting with me over the sound system in a sold-out stadium. I nodded my head yes.

“Good. Can I get you anything? This is officially our first date by the way.”

I bit down on my lip, contemplating how to play this. I could laugh him off and say no…or…I could have the time of my life with a rock star. I tipped my hand back towards my mouth, indicating I wanted a drink.

“Could someone please get my girl a drink?” Dash turned back towards the crowd. “Sorry about that folks but I’ve been staring at her since the show started.” He led into the next song; the crowd sang every word right along with him.

Some guy walked over and handed each of us a beer. Amy turned to me. “Holy shit, Lex. You have to do him. You have to. On behalf of every married woman out there, you have to sleep with Dash Conner.”

“On behalf of every married woman, Ams? Or on behalf of you?” I took a long pull of my beer. Amy married her college sweetheart and even though she was in fact drooling, they were deliriously happy together.

“Come on, Lexi. One night with a sexy rock god. Who turns that down?”

“I do. I’m too old for one night stands, rock god or not.”

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

“I loved that she had crawled into bed wearing my t-shirt and some cute boy shorts panties.  I loved that she didn’t try to cover up or hide herself from me.  Lexi was comfortable in her own skin, confident and it was so damn sexy.”

4 stars, this was such a refreshing change in the rockstar romance book!  I loved that the rock God wasn’t a jerk, or a cheater.  The story was funny in all the right places and romantic in all the others.

Lexi is a freelance photographer and a fly by the seat of your pants kinda gal.  She decides to accompany her best friend to the Devil’s Share concert, since her bff’s brother is the drummer, they had backstage access.  While standing to the side of the stage she sees the lead singer Dash and well he notices her too.  There is immediate chemistry as soon as their eyes meet and Dash makes that well known to Lexi and the entire audience.  After a night of sleeping together, no like actual sleeping, Dash has the brilliant idea to have Lexi be their concert photographer just so he can keep her with him on tour.  After one fateful mishap and a broken condom, both their lives are thrown through a loop.  Can these two make it together after only knowing each for weeks??  I really loved this take on the rockstar romance!!  It’s refreshing to see a “good guy” rockstar, that’s not off cheating and acting like an all around ass!  The story is so cute and so romantic, you really can’t help but fall in love with the story and the characters!!  I can’t wait to read about the other members of the band next!!
