Managed (VIP, #2)

by Kristen Callihan

It started off as a battle of wits. Me: the ordinary girl with a big mouth against Him: the sexy bastard with a big...ego.

I thought I’d hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to first class on my flight to London.

That is until HE sat next to me. Gabriel Scott: handsome as sin, cold as ice. Nothing and no one gets to him. Ever. He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me.

I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight. I didn’t expect to like him. I didn’t expect to want him. But the biggest surprise? He wants me too. Only in a way I didn’t see coming.

If I accept his proposal, I leave myself open to falling for the one man I can’t manage. But I’m tempted to say yes. Because the real man beneath those perfect suits and that cool façade just might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I just might be the only one who can melt the ice around his heart.

Let the battle begin…

Scottie, aka Gabriel Scott, is the stoic manager of Kill John. He never met a person he couldn't manage until he met Sophie Darling. As if it had been pulled from his nightmares, he is forced to share a space with this chatty woman on a flight to London. However, what he thought would be the worst flight of his life ends up being the best flight of his life.
Sophie reminds me of some sort of sweet treat: tempting but ultimately bad for one's health.

I just loved these two together. Sophie was able to bring out the best parts of Gabriel. She helped him work out some past issues and grow. She was able to chip away at the ice around his heart, and find the beauty that was trapped inside. I had some many emotions when it came to this relationship. They were adorable and super hot together. The banter was so witty and fun. I just could listen to them volley all day. But what I loved most, was that mushy, sweet side of Gabriel that he reserved for Sophie and Sophie alone. *Swoon*
You're my life, chatty girl. It has no joy without you in it.

This book started and ended sort of like a good rom-com, and there was lots of that same element throughout.

Overall: A sweet and sexy rockstar romance with a rom-com feel, bound to make you laugh, smile, and swoon.
