This was a super cute and fun love story about a girl joining a music competition and her and the Musician judge falling in love.
Narrative was good!

The making of a star

I received this audiobook free for an honest review as a member of the Pink Flamingo Productions Review Team. Loved this story. Blair has to choose between love, family and a singing career. Dean doesn't make it easy. The author gave us a story that I couldn't stop listening to. The two narrators are two of the best. They enhance the passion of the characters in this story and bring it to life. Looking for more books by this author.

Love it!

I know when I grab a Ryleigh Sloan book, I am in for hours of enjoyment. When I started this story, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Rockstar romances are all a little different. This one is right up my alley. I love to watch The Voice, and this simulates a reality TV show similar to that. Blair is live the dream and when she gets to pick her judge, she chooses the Dean Carter, the performer of her dreams. Dean see potential in Blair, but he is also attracted to her. The show forbids any romantic inclinations, so this season is going to be a tough one. Will they make it through undetected? Will their reputations survive? And will her live out her dream? It's funny, it's flirty, it's a little angsty(not too much) and a real good time. There are emotional tugs at your heart, and lessons of life to be learned. I love Sloan's writing, and can't wait to see what she has in store for Blair's friend Maddie next!

With a book like this and a powerhouse narration team of Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber, it's impossible not to fall in love! Mallon brings her all to Blair, giving her confidence and insecurity all at the same time. Her talent brings out Blair and we can feel her learn and grow through her time on the show. Webber is perfectly cast as Carter. A little arrogant, a lot swoony and his talent shows through with a personality befitting the judge. These two bring it all to life!

Romance and music!!

I couldn’t have picked better narrators myself,Erin portrays Blair perfectly and I absolutely loved Zachary as Dean. This book has it all, the highs and the lows. Sometimes you want to open Blairs eyes, and wake Dean up. They come around in the end and the ending is perfect. I can’t wait to listen to more this series.

This is my first Ryleigh Sloan and I can not wait to read more. Erin & Zachary are two of my absolute faves throw in Rockstar Romance and this was a no brainer.

Erin portrays Blair perfectly. Just the right amount of naïve mixed with a heady strong personality. Gah & Zachary is all sex god swoony as Dean🔥

Great Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are likable and easy to relate to. It is Blair McKenzie is in L.A with her friend Maddie, Blair is following her dreams and is in L.A. after a successful audition she won a spot on Breakout, a music reality show. Three judges wanted her on their team but she chose to be on Dean Carter’s team, her favorite musician and the one she was crushing on. Dean took a liking to her the moment he laid eyes on her, he knew he wanted her on his team. Amongst relationship and family drama there is drama amongst the contestants, especially trouble stirring Danielle. I liked how every thing plays out in this book, the story is fast moving and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, angst, some heartfelt moments and a romance that could cause Blair to lose everything she dreamed of. Ryleigh Sloan, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber are fantastic narrators and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture the character’s emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Rock Stars!!!

I loved it! All of it! The Author is one of my favourites and I am so happy that she has turned another book into audio!

The narration was perfection! Both narrators are on my favourites list as well! They are an amazing duo in this book!

The miscommunication went on a bit longer as I wanted it to be and I would have loved it if we could hear more detail about Danielle getting what was coming to her. You know karma and all that!

I love this series so far and I can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Back Beat

What a book! I love to watch all the music talent shows on tv so this was a perfect choice for me. And when you add the drama and forbidden love to the mix it is perfect. This book will definitely pull on your heartstrings and with the epilogue I definitely need to get the next to see another great love story.

Music, Safari and Love!

I really enjoyed it. Ryleigh melds two cultures seamlessly. Blair is a contestant in a singing competition held in America, but she’s from South Africa, so we get to have a sneaky into what it would be like to live there. Think wild animals, helicopter rides, tending to wounded lions on a game reserve and being part of a close knit family. Dean is one of the judges and tries to fight his attraction to Blair but ultimately fails. We get the cat fights behind the scenes between contestants and the drama that goes with a judge falling for a contestant on his team.

Although the story was about a singing competition it wasn’t completely predictable, it has a good plot with some great characters. There is heart and drama and jealousy and heat.

Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber narrate it, two seasoned voice actors that brought this book to life. Great narrator choices by Ryleigh. I was happy that Erin didn’t try to do a South African accent. I believe if you can’t do an accent flawlessly, please don’t try. A bad accent is truly distracting and often puts me right off an audiobook so her decision not to do the accent was a good one and much appreciated. As always she gave us all the facets of Blair and I always enjoy her interpretations of inner monologues. Timing is everything and she nailed it. Zachary gives us the cocky coach who ends up completely floored by Blair’s talent and beauty. He showed us what a bumbling mess Dean was around her and how he fully tried to repair the damage he had caused. All in all a great audiobook and I’m looking forward to diving into book 2 soon.
