Publisher's summary

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull - but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.

When she laughed - and I mean, really laughed - I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks”. Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Sweet

Andi Arndt is always the best and never disappoints, but I really missed Jacob Morgans Voice. overall the story was sweet. Maybe too sugary sweet for my taste. I loved Georgina and Reeds story, and this could not top that.

Super sweet romance that leave you happy & smiling

A romance that starts includes a scene from the Reed Rivers/Georgina /Liar trilogy that introduces the star struck couple. Matthew Fishbine or Fish is the shy, sometimes awkward, backup singer and Base guitar player for successful 22 Goats rock band when he meets aspiring singer-songwriter Alessandra, Georgina’s 19 year old stepsister at a party Reed is hosting. He is “ smitten” at first sight. She is a sweet, beautiful, nervous unsure virgin who is captivated by Matthew the sweet guy as well as attracted to Fish, the rock star. This is their love story, the story of her rise to fame, and how they learn to make music together on stage and through life. It is a feel good story with some hot scenes, a couple musical numbers, and characters from the Morgan Brother books (looking forward to reading those) as well as Reed and Georgina’s trilogy story.
The narration is excellent, and could only have been better had it been performed duet style. It would be a great candidate for a Lifetime movie or while it is too sexy for what Hallmark currently produces it could be a breakout for them with its happily ever after ending.
This is a stand alone with minor fretting but no drama Unlike Reed and Georgina’s previous trilogy. The characters are very refreshingly innocent and unbelievably nice; this story is like a bite of a favorite dessert, satisfying but leaving you wanting more!

Amazing, yet again!

Loved this story so so much! Fish was just what I needed in my life right now. Such a cinnamon roll and the music made it extra special

Just a wonderful, feel good, happy listen.

I don't write reviews very often but for this sweet book I will. While this is not the greatest book that has ever been written it is however a genuine uncomplicated young love sweet story. I found myself having a cheesy grin on my face throughout the entire book. Romance novels tend to have such over complicated plots and even more over complicated emotional baggage that a reader is often left going "wtf....is wrong with you people?" Simply put they can often just totally miss the mark on any forms of reality and because of that "norm" finding this book to be that total opposite was so refreshing. it's probably why I liked this story as much as I did.

Brilliant

If you don't laugh out loud while listening to this there is something very wrong.
I loved it when I read it, and I love it even more listening to it, and bonus real singing of the songs, well some of them.
Really is worth a credit if you don't own the book to purchase via whispersync

Not an Alpha Male Romance

If your thing is alpha males only, this one is not for you. That being said, this is a really sweet and romantic book with basically no angst. I’m an alpha male fan but still like the sugary sweet ones too. Most romance novels have a little cheese to them and that’s ok...I will say this was a little “over the top” cheesy at times. I could have done with a little less of some of the silly nicknames like “my lioness” and “lover” over and over but all in all it was a good read. Enjoyable and lighthearted. Good narration as well. I also liked getting little glimpses into the Morgan family from previous series.
