My Synopsis:
Myrna Evans is a Human sexuality professor. She was previously married to an abusive man and has since then taken measures to make sure her ex never finds her. She is in Chicago for a teacher’s conference and after a long day of seminars and speaking Myrna is ready to head to her room to relax. On her way to her room she spots one of her favorite rock bands “Sinners” in the lounge of the hotel where the conference is taking place. Once she realizes Sinners is here she couldn’t pass on the chance to go and introduce herself and meet them.

Brian Sinclair aka Master Sinclair to his legions of fan is drunk and brokenhearted. He’s the lead guitarist and the composer for Sinners. His latest lady love has cheated on him with the lead vocalist of their group Sed Lionheart. Brian is a hopeless romantic and falls easily in love. He pretty much wears is heart on his sleeves. He’s looking for something more than just a quick fuck.

When Myrna walks up to the group she is immediately drawn to Brian even though he’s drunk. Sparks are instantly there for her. As for Brian once the drunken fog clears he notices the sexy professor noticing him. Myrna offers to take care of Brian and they spend the night together and wake up to some delicious morning sexing that inspires Brian to write some lovely music. What’s supposed to be a onetime fantasy fulfillment turns into a more complicated situation for Myrna.

My Thoughts:
There was a lot of buzz about this book and how very dirty the sexing is. Once I heard dirty sexing I was all over this book. I had to have it. Boy was I glad I read Backstage Pass. This is my kind of erotic romance. There’s a unique storyline about a rock group, sexy romantic leading man, great secondary characters and lots of burn your sheets loving. I loved Brian from the start with his broken heart and all. Who could resist someone who genuinely is a sweet person that just puts it all out there emotion wise? I loved Brian. I always knew where he stood. His character never wavered. Once he loves he loves. Myrna on the other hand was complicated. I liked Myrna! I really did, but sometimes her character just made me want to smack her. I understood where her reluctance came from but once things started getting serious her actions came off a bit heartless. I did want to high five her when she stuck up for Brian with his parents. That was a great moment.

The other band members added to this book. The relationship and the conversations between the guys had me cracking up. From the crap talking to the practical jokes they played on another. I can’t wait for Rock Hard which is Sed’s book. The bad guy of this book fell little flat for me though. Once we meet up with him after all the stuff we learned I was expecting something more climatic but it was a “meh” scene for me. Overall I enjoyed this book tremendously. I am definitely a new fan of Olivia and Sinners. Just be warned this book is not for the prudes at heart. This is up in your face dirty wet your drawers sexing which I loved.
