I adored this book. Kristen Callihan once again took a somewhat broken hero and turned his world completely upside. This time, it's Kill John's manager, Gabriel Scott (Scottie to the band). The very British and very uptight man who meets his match in first class.

Gabriel is uptight. He's controlling. He's standoffish. Things that would probably turn most people off....especially if he's the hero of a book. But the minute he meets chatty girl Sophie Darling you know he's met his match. These two verbally spar with one another and at times it's downright hysterical. Sophie throws him off his game, makes him feel alive and out of control. The walls Gabriel has built around himself start to shift with Sophie, making him take a hard look at who he is.

I don't think I can say enough about Sophie. She was funny, witty, sarcastic and we discover very loyal...especially to Gabriel. She's a free spirit who finds herself attracted to a man with a set of rules that must be followed. I loved that she didn't play by Gabriel's rules. Instead she showed him what life was like if you let go of a little bit of that control.

MANAGED was a book that dares you to put it down. Between the witty banter, the sexual chemistry and the draw of these characters I foudn it difficult to put my kindle down to work. These are characters that stick with you. Make you fall in love with them. And hope that the end of the book really isn't as close as your kindle says.

This series is one to pick up and MANAGED will have you falling in love with one hot ass controlling British manager.
