About Lead (Stage Dive #3)
Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic rock star romance series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.
As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it’s booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.
Lena’s not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him.
My Review of Lead by Kylie Scott (Stage Dive #3)
AHHHHH!!!! I was so mother stinking lucky to meet this wonderful Author at Book Bash, and yes I totally fan-girled on her.
Jimmy, poor Jimmy we all knew he had a complicated past and we all knew it stemmed from his womb donor. What we really didn’t know is how utterly tortured his soul was.
He may seem like the “I don’t give a shit asshole”…but really he just hid all his emotions while boozing, sexing, and drugging it up.
But you can’t knock down Jimmy. He’s up and working through his shit along side of his make-shift sobriety go-to-girl, Lena. She’s a good girl that’s had a rough couple of years. Honestly, her sister and ex-boyfriend are getting married! Of course, that does something to a girls mentality.
Lena and Jimmy are glued to each others hip, so to speak. Lena being the loving care free girl that she is, instantly falls for this once upon a time bad boy. What she doesn’t realize is Jimmy thinks himself as being off because he’s so broken. Because of that he pushes Lena the other way and into arms of other men.
Jimmy hasn’t figured out that Lena is made of sterner stuff, and won’t bow out easily. Will he keep pushing her away or when she needs him in the final hour will Jimmy come to her rescue.
I absolutely love this series, and will bawl my eyes out when it ends.

Excerpt
“Lena, you seen my old black Led Zep shirt?”
“Nope.”
“You sure?” His brows became one dark cranky line. The scratches on his face were healing well, thank goodness. Though it didn’t reduce my desire to throttle his mother on a daily basis.
“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”
Can’t find it anywhere…”
“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher, Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”
“Sure you haven’t seen it?”
“For goodness sake, what do you think, Jimmy? That I stole it to sleep in or something?” I laughed bitterly. Sure as hell, the truth deserved a good mocking. I’d sunk so despicably low.
I hadn’t even meant to steal the stupid thing, but the shirt had been mixed up with my laundry a few days ago. It’d been the first top I laid my hand on after stepping out of the shower, ready to go to bed. Without thought, I’d put it on and it’d been so soft, the scent of him lingering beneath the laundry detergent. Every night since, I’d found myself in it come bedtime. My shame knew no limits. And no, I still hadn’t quit. The words still hadn’t come even close to leaving my mouth.
He frowned. “No.”
“That I have some deep secret longing to feel close to you resulting in my stealing your shirt like some creepy perv?”
“Course I don’t fucking think that,” he replied crankily, reaching up to grip the top of the doorframe. All of his bulging muscles stretched the arms of his white T-shirt in the nicest way. It was all I could do not to start drooling, my heart beat taking up residence somewhere down between my thighs. And who could blame it? Not me. Maybe if I got laid, this would go away and things would return to normal. It’d seemed safer to avoid rubbing up against any men just in case I got carried away and started dating again. This new situation, however, changed everything.
“Well, of course not! That would be crazy.” And wasn’t that the god’s honest truth? Cray-zeee. Lock me up and throw away the key because it wasn’t like I didn’t know better.
“Just can’t figure out where the hell it could be.”
Angels couldn’t have smiled as innocently. They might have tried, but they would have failed, the dirty-mouthed, winged, little liars. “Jimmy, I don’t know where it is. But I’ll look around for it later, okay?”
“Yeah,” he said, and then added as an afterthought, “and stop looking at me weird.”
“I’m not!”
