Exposed by Kristen Callihan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.
But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.
Rye
Brenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.
I convinced her that it would just be sex, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.
Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.
REVIEW:
My first introduction to author Kristen Callihan as well as of course the VIP series. Callihan has created a wonderful batch of characters who live in the not so glamour world of the music industry. People always say being famous and rich must make those people happy, but from Callihans POV the world is lonely, but the bond that this group has is phenomenal and became a small family of trust.VIP follows Brenna, who, from what I can tell, helps with the bands image. (Her title isn't really emphasized on what she does, but she keeps the band together.) She is tough as nails and independent, but she's hit that point in her life that she needs something a little more, more in a person and someone who she can trust. Her nemesis and the bassist for Kill John Rye has a proposition for her, one that would leave them both satisfied. But neither a prepared for the deep connection that starts to form and one that terrifies them both.
Brenna and Rye are so similar in the way they are both unsure of what is missing in their lives. They are also both lonely, they may be surrounded by friends but most of them have found that happy place in their life with someone. They both have something special about them, the major support of their friends and this undeniable bond that both have been fighting for years.
Overall this was a fantastic and emotional story of two semi broken people, both hit that point in their life of "what's next". There are a lot of bumps in the road and uncertainties that challenge them and I really enjoyed watching their journey. Even more so their connection was sexy off the chart hot as well as humorous at times. I look forward to more from Callihan.
