The Reverse of Perfection by Christi Barth – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

Description:
Dylan Royce, ex-teen pop star, needs a sexy image makeover. His first adult solo album came out under his perfect, white-washed persona and tanked. Joining a band equally famous for their music and their between-the-sheets escapades is only the start. He needs to get raunchy. Sleep with a different girl every night. But there’s only one woman he wants, and she still sees him as a goody two-shoes boy-bander.

Ariel Watson is the publicist in charge of turning Dylan into the sex-god every woman dreams of doing. Frankly, she doesn’t see the appeal. Until one hot kiss changes her mind. Now she wants to keep him for herself–without losing her job. Or losing Dylan the legions of drooling fans she’s supposed to be building for him.

Turning bad got Dylan the woman of his dreams. But how will he choose between her…or his career catapulting him back to superstar status?

Review:

The Reverse of Perfection by Christi Barth is the 2^nd book in her Bad Decisions series.  I am a fan of Christi, as she does wonderful pure romances in all her series, as well as creating wonderful characters.  Having read the first book in this series, The Opposite of Right, I knew I would enjoy this new story.

Dylan Royce is our hero, who is a teen pop idol, whose career is slowly slowing down as he is no longer a teenager.  His manager wants Dylan to do a makeover promoting him as a sex magnet.  The manager gets Dylan a short stint with a top band that is known for their wild escapades, which will give Dylan the exposure of changing his image.

Enter Ariel Watson, our heroine, who is the sister of Riptide’s band leader, as well as a publicist.   Ariel is asked to help promote and change Dylan’s image. At first, all she sees is the teen idol, who still dresses the same, and isn’t sure she wants to accept this.  Dylan had met Ariel years before, and has dreamed of her all this time.  He sets out to prove to her that he is not the teenage idol, bit is in fact a sexy bad boy hidden under those clothes.  When Dylan tries to prove his point by giving Ariel a steamy kiss, she accepts the job.  It is up to her to change his image to the public, and keep herself away from becoming involved.

What follows is a sweet and sexy story, with a couple that we fall for right away.  I loved Dylan and Ariel together.  Of course there will be obstacles that will threaten their relationship, especially when the public begins to see Dylan in another light.  Rather than tell too much more, I suggest you read this fun sexy romance, get to meet all the other band members and enjoy the music background theme.  Christi Barth had created another wonderful story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
