Daisy is now stuck on a crowded tour bus with six men when her plans start blowing up in her face. Things are not what they seem and nothing is making sense. Landon is pushing her away and Grayson is pulling her close. Daisy feels pulled to Grayson which doesn’t go unnoticed by him. Amused and unable to control himself around her Gray decides to hit on her the first moment he sees her. Gray’s new obsession is Daisy, who he deems his own little Widlflower even after he finds out she is to be his sister-in-law. Whatever it is about her he can’t help himself. He is desperate just to be near her.

Temptation, betrayal, and lies on top of booze, tattoos, sex, laughs and love. While making friends and traveling the country Daisy must come to terms with what she wants in life. All while she learns to deal with the rough and rowdy of taking Shaft on Tour. It’s going to be a long hard ride.

***This book is not a normal romance. Things happen fast and with no*** regret.

Rockers and all. There are M/F scenes of course but there is M/F/M, hints of M/F/F, possibly a little M/M and plenty of vibrator discussion.

My Review

What a fun read. I actually added this to my “beach read” list because it keeps you on your seat, but it isn’t intense. Daisy, engaged and on tour with a band (with her fiance’) – what could go wrong? Anything and everything! But the band has her back, especially hot, rock-god Grayson. 😉

I loved, loved, loved the interaction between the characters and the emotional pull between Daisy and Grayson. No worries, there is no cheating when it comes to Daisy and Grayson (you’ll have to read for yourself). Let’s just say Landon isn’t as great as he seems. The band guys become a family to Daisy and are very, very protective. Cam becomes Daisy’s best friend on the road and there are a lot of seeds planted for Cam and Aiden’s story.

This is a fun, lighthearted story with some steamy sex and an intense rock god. Lots and lots of hot, hot, hot sex in this one! Daisy and Grayson are magnets to each other and there is a pull that cannot be denied. Cat Mason created the perfect mix of angst, love, and romance. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to see the rest of Aiden and Cam’s story.

Excerpt

Introduction

Daisy’s fall

How did this happen to me? Just months ago I was in a loving, committed relationship with a man who I believed adored me. Nothing was standing in our way of being married and having the white picket fence, babies and all the happiness I could stand.

Now I sit here on the edge of a bed in a shitty tour bus crying into my hands while a dozen little white sticks lie all over the floor laughing at me proving that I am a total fuck up.

The diamond on my hand does nothing but make me angry as it glistens, wet with my tears. I’ve screwed everything up. I let myself believe for a while that I could have a happy ever after. I let myself think that I was worthy of something as precious as love. Instead, I have ruined at least four lives in the ashes of my monumental lapse of rational thinking.

I always think things through. Daisy Shayne never jumps without looking where she would land. I had a plan. I mean literally, I write the shit down and check it off as I complete it. I was nothing if not meticulous in my calculating of my life this far.

My parents planned nothing. I watched them constantly bailing water from the boat, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and getting nowhere in life because of not having a plan. Well I had a plan damn it! Now as I look at my list all I want to do is jump from my boat and let myself drown. It would be so much easier than to face what is coming when those bus doors open and my life comes to an end. There is no hiding this.

There is no fixing the situation. It’s going to destroy everyone involved, including myself in the process…

Wait! I am getting too far ahead of myself. You need for me to start from the beginning to get the full picture here. You need to know everything and then you will understand.
