ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 8, 2022

When the Stage Dive crew decides to help, they do it in a big way.

Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band’s latest album.

But Dean is more than a little wary of dating anyone with anything to do with the Stage Dive crew after losing Lena to lead singer Jimmy Ferris all those years ago. Can Jude a) Convince the crew to stay out of her business and b) Woo the man of her dreams?

REVIEW: JUST WHAT I NEEDED is instalment 4.9 and novella in Kylie Scott’s contemporary, adult STAGE DIVE erotic, rock romance series, and a part of the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights series. This is Ev and David Ferris’, twenty-five year old nanny Jude, and record producer Dean Jennings’ story line. JUST WHAT I NEEDED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from first person perspective (Jude) JUST WHAT I NEEDED follows the building romance and relationship between Ev and David Ferris’, twenty-five year old nanny Jude, and record producer Dean Jennings. Jude works as the nanny to Ev and David’s nine-month old son Jamesy, and lives in the guest house on the Ferris property. With the arrival of music producer Dean Jennings, Jude never expected a temporary roommate much less a nudge from the wives of the Stage Dive rockers. Hoping for an instant connection, Ev, Lena and Anne push Dean and Jude together but Jude’s past is hoping for something more, and Jude’s secrets reveal the embarrassment of a one-time crush on someone they all know. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Jude and Dean, as our couple must come to terms with Dean’s transient lifestyle, on the road more than he is home.

The relationship between Jude and Dean is one of immediate attraction but Jude struggles in the wake of Dean’s fame and his proximity to our story line heroine. Dean knows immediately he wants to make an effort with our story line heroine but instant attraction does not always make for perfect bedfellows. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include band members: Mal and Anne, Ev and David, Lena and Jimmy, as well as Dean’s ex-girlfriend Frankie.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED is a fast paced, quick read that sees another couple fall madly in love. The premise is heart warming and sensual; the characters are spirited and sassy; the romance is tender and provocative.

I smile. I have a lot to smile about. He likes me. We’re doing this. How exciting.
He leans forward. “Can I kiss you, Jude?” he whispers.
I feel those words in every part of me. “Yeah.” I lick my lips. “You can.”
As pretty as he was at a distance, he’s even more handsome close up. All of the shadows and lines of his face. It blows my mind how Lena left him for another. What a fool. Though I am kind of deeply grateful that she did. His lips are divine. No other word will do. And the thought of him pressing them against mine is making my stomach do a weird flip-flop thing. His lips are neither thin nor plump, but somewhere in between and perfect. I stare at them as he comes closer until he’s pressing his mouth softly against mine.
A sweet kiss, as if he’s testing his welcome. The man needn’t have bothered. I balance on the balls of my feet and join our lips once more, kissing him more insistently. I mean, we might as well figure out here and now if we have no chemistry. If he has no expertise. Because I kissed this male model once who was a tongue-wrangling disaster. Just a whole lot of wet-faced yuck. Sad, but true. It’s not like I have kissed anyone in ages. Maybe I’ve forgotten how it all works. Perhaps I’ll be the disaster.
Dean’s hands grip my hips, and his tongue slips into my mouth and oh, yeah. Very nice. A lack of chemistry is obviously not going to be a problem between us. He kisses me deep and wet in a way that goes straight to my head. My fingers slide over the smooth warm skin of his shoulders before holding on tight. He is so solid and strong. One of his hands is now cupping the back of my head, holding me to him. As if I had any intention of leaving. Heck no. We kiss until my lips are numb and swollen and my mind is far away. Nothing else matters but this moment.
He leans his forehead against mine, and we both take a moment to catch our breath. As first kisses go, it was stellar. My empty stomach, however, shows no cool and rumbles loudly. Talk about keeping it real.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 9, 2021

It all started in Vegas…

After a wild and tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Evelyn Thomas and her rock star husband David Ferris have been happily married for years. Nothing needs to change, their life together is perfect. Which means that change in the shape of an unexpected pregnancy is bound to shake things up some. But could it be for the better?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

•••••••

REVIEW:THE RYHTHM METHOD is instalment 4.8 in Kylie Scott’s contemporary, adult STAGE DIVE rock star, romance series, and the last instalment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights series. THE RHYTHM METHOD is the continuing story of lead singer for Stage Dive David Ferris, and his wife Evelyn. THE RHYTHM METHOD can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order,or at the very least LICK where David and Evelyn’s story begins.

Told from first person perspective (Evelyn) THE RHYTHM METHOD focuses on the unexpected pregnancy and delivery of David and Evelyn’s first child, a pregnancy of which no one knew. Both shocked and excited, David and Evelyn struggle in the early days following the birth of their son, so much so, that their happiness is threatened when David is unable to except the changes that are about to unfold.

THE RHYTHM METHOD reunites most of the previous story line couples, including all of the members of Stage Dive, and their significant others. Kylie Scott pulls the reader into a shocking revelation, not only for the fans, but for the story line couple, as well. David Ferris and Stage Dive are a world-wide phenomenon, and our hero struggles in the face of new responsibilities, and having to share the woman he loves with someone else. The premise is emotional; the romance is passionate; the characters are familiar and captivating-always a fun time with Mal.

“In about five years,” he agreed, taking a swig from his bottle of beer. Because you could take the rock star to Paris and dress him in a three-piece suit, but he still wouldn’t be sipping champagne. Thank you very much.
“That’s the plan,” I said.
“And you do like your plans.”
The man was right about that. Some people could go through life flying by the seat of their pants. Content to not know what would happen next. I was not one of those people. I both knew and accepted this about myself. Know thyself and all that. Lists were my friends. Neatly ordered inventories of anything and everything going on in my life. Places to be. Things to do. Targets to be achieved at work. Planning was how I gave shape and context to my existence which in turn helped me live life to the fullest. Not that I didn’t mind taking a walk on the wild side now and then. I had woken up in Vegas married to a rock star, after all. But being organized was where I thrived. It was my happy place.
“I say we enjoy ourselves while we can.” His fingers crept beneath my long blonde hair to rub my neck. Guitarists’ hands were wonderful things. So much strength and dexterity. Not to mention the creativity.
I raised a brow. “Are you talking about the bathroom again?”
“The way I figure it, this suite has four rooms,” he said, voice low and husky. Sexy as fuck. My panties grew damper with every word he whispered. “The bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and this formal parlor or whatever the hell the butler called it. Now, given how much we’re paying per night, it would be wrong of us to not make the most of the place.”
“Oh.”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 20, 2020

There’s always the one that got away. Or kicked you out…

The new darling of rock n’ roll, Adam Dillon, is ready to show his ex-girlfriend, Jill Schwartz, what a mistake she made kicking him to the curb. So maybe he wasn’t the best of boyfriends. Writing great songs and climbing to the top of the charts isn’t easy. Only problem is, he’s fast finding out that success isn’t everything.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

••••••••

REVIEW:LOVE SONG is a contemporary, adult, erotic rock romance novella in Kylie Scott’s STAGE DIVE series, and the latest instalment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights. This is rock star Adam Dillon, and hair stylist Jill Schwartz’s story line. LOVE SONG can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Several of the Stage Dive members make cameo appearance for familiarity.

Told from first person point of view (Jill Schwartz) LOVE SONG follows the second chance romance between rock star Adam Dillon and hair stylist Jill Schwartz. One year earlier Jill Schwartz, tired of Adam’s antics and lack of commitment kicked Adam out with a heavy heart. Fast forward to present day whererin Adam, about to head out on his first world tour, comes face to face with his past, an angry but determined Jill Schwartz. What ensues is the quick rebuilding romance and relationship between Adam and Jill, and the potential fall-out as their time together quickly comes to a close.

Breaking up with Jill was both the best and worst things to happen to our story line hero. Writing an entire album focusing on the breakdown of their relationship pushed Adam Dillon to the top of the charts but said songs only revealed one side of their breakup, making Jill persona-non-grata in the eyes of Adam’s fans and music followers. Jill Schwartz struggled in the year after kicking Adam Dillon to the curb but a surprise ‘gift’ from the man that she loved forced Jill to confront all of her old feelings and her attraction to our story line hero.

The relationship between Adam and Jill is one of second chances; a rekindling romance that looks at success in the face of loss; regret, loneliness and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is steamy and provocative; the characters are familiar, energetic, and fun (aka Mal). LOVE SONG is a quick read that revisits all of the Stage Dive couples -a welcome and anticipated return to the world of Kylie Scott’s rock stars and romance.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a new story in her Stage Dive series…

When a stalker gets too close to plus-size model Mae Cooper, it’s time to hire some muscle.

Enter former military man turned executive protection officer Ziggy Thayer. Having spent years guarding billionaires, royalty, and rock n roll greats, he’s seen it all. From lavish parties through to every kind of excess.

There’s no reason some Instagram stylista should throw him off his game. Even if she does have the most dangerous curves he’s ever seen…

••••••••

REVIEW: CLOSER by Kylie Scott is instalment 4.6 in the author’s contemporary, adult STAGE DIVE rock romance series focusing in the members of the rock band Stage Dive, and the latest addition to the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights. This is security specialist (aka executive protection officer) and former military man Ziggy Thayer, and model Mae Cooper’s story line. CLOSER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from first person point of view (Mae Cooper) CLOSER follows the building relationship between security specialist (aka executive protection officer) and former military man Ziggy Thayer, and model Mae Cooper. Mae Cooper has a stalker whose ‘gifts’ have become more menacing and threatening. Living in the same secure building as the members of the band Stage Dive, at the suggestion of Lena Ferris, Mae is about to face her future in the guise of a personal bodyguard. Enter executive protection officer Ziggy Thayer, and the man with whom Mae will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Mae and Ziggy, and the potential fall-out as Mae’s past collides with her present and her future.

Ziggy Thayer doesn’t do relationships but falling for a client could mean the end of his career. Trying to keep their relationship professional Ziggy fails miserably as his attraction to Mae grows with each encounter. Mae Cooper suspects someone from her past is desperate to destroy her life but ‘living’ with Ziggy Thayer gives Mae the opportunity to explore something new, something she is hoping will turn into her happily ever after.

The relationship between Mae and Ziggy is one of immediate attraction but Mae doesn’t think she needs protection as Ziggy goes above and beyond to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters included cameo appearances by some of the members of the rock band Stage Dive, as well we their significant others. CLOSER does not focus on the band but on their extended group of friends and acquaintances.

CLOSER is a quick read; a story of betrayal and obsession; of second chances and falling in love. The premise is fast paced and engaging; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is seductive but I struggled with the lack of palpable sexual attraction-I didn’t feel the raw and intense desire that I have come to expect from Kylie Scott.

“Your keys and security alarm code please, miss?” he asked, hand held out waiting.
It might have just been me, but we seemed to be standing awfully close together. It almost seemed weirdly intimate. Almost. No, my bad. Ziggy wore his usual professional façade with nary a hint of emotion on display. His gaze was shuttered, his bearing military rigid. It was definitely just me and my overactive imagination. Being vaguely attracted to your bodyguard was kind of a pain in the ass. Not that I couldn’t use the distraction right now.
Ziggy continued to stand there patiently waiting.
“Keys. Right.” I rummaged inside my Balenciaga City bag. Designer goodies were not only a weakness of mine, but a happy perk of being in the industry and achieving some small fame. “Ah, just a minute. They’re in here somewhere.”
I pushed aside my purse, a cashmere shawl, tampons, a candy bar, some loose change, my small Chanel cosmetics case, a power bank, hair ties, pepper spray, a copy of the latest Sarah MacLean book, mints, a spare charging cable for my cell phone, the cell phone itself, Chapstick, Prada sunglasses case, my grandma’s rosary, dental floss, deodorant, a couple of pens, Kleenex, ear buds, water bottle, a USB stick, reusable straw, condoms, nail file, some old receipts, a travel size umbrella, hand sanitizer, lotion, a pair of pearl earrings, tweezers, Advil, a hair band, and some bobby pins.
“Sorry about this,” I murmured. “I know I put them in here when we left.”
He said nothing. A whole lot of nothing.
“Huh.” With a great sense of victory, I held up a bottle of nail polish. “I thought I’d lost this.”
One of his dark brows crept upwards.
“I’ll have you know this color was limited edition. Little Death at Midnight by Oxley. You can’t buy it anymore.”
His lips did not move, but that damn eyebrow arched even higher as he leaned forward a little and took in the contents of my bag. I swear his eyes widened.
“Don’t you judge me. All of these things are necessary for my ongoing existence.”
“Of course they are, miss.” The man was so judging me. Bastard. “You carry a koozie around with you, I see.”
“It pays to be ready to party, Mr. Thayer.”
