About this listen

Don't fall in love with your bandmate's girl.

It's an unspoken rule, and one I'm determined to follow. I've always been the guy to take the high road, to be the voice of reason, but when it comes to Jess, I'm tired of fighting this overwhelming attraction.

The more time we spend together, the more compelled I am to show her she's worthy of love and dreams of her own. The lines of my moral compass begin to blur. I should leave her alone, but I can't. I know it's wrong, but everything about us feels so right.

Despite everything I try, it doesn't change the truth. She's not mine.

I can't sit back and watch her love someone else. But if given the choice, will she even want me?

Book two in Kacey Shea’s Off the Tracks series is so good, you do not want to miss it! This book has everything, bringing ever emotion to the surface and letting us feel it. Jess comes to the band with her boyfriend, Coy, the new drummer to the group. Sean, the bassist feels an immediate attraction to her. But you just can’t fall for one of your bandmate’s girls, can you? So many issues are brought out in this one, from cheating to abuse, and it’s dealt with compassion and care. I love Jess. She is stronger than she thinks and her path to finding her confidence is so rewarding. I was rooting for her the entire time, not just to find true love, but to reach her potential. The chemistry of the band is something I enjoy as well. The family feel, including Lexi and Deb gives heartwarming love. The slow burning romance just was the icing on the cake for me, with all the other problems that were going on. And I think my favorite part was Hansen…mmmbop! Shea has pushed all the right buttons, and even with a happy ending, has left me wanting more from the band! Bring on book 3!

Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder are cast perfectly for this story. Clarke can fall into a part, and he
becomes the character. Sean is complex, and Clarke finds all the nuances of his personality. Wilder falls into Jess, and makes her real and so easy to love. This story and narrative is emotional, breaks our hearts and puts the pieces back together. Shea, Clarke and Wilder bring it all to us.

So easy to get lost in this book!

I usually hate any kind of cheating plot line but Koi was such a jerk that I was begging Jess to give him the heave ho and move in with Sean! Jess had a lot of personal experiences and growth to go through and Sean, the hot and kind rock star, was the perfect match!

Another awesome installment in the series!

I don't even know where to start with this review. It's been a long time since I’ve been this invested in a story. I'm talking shouting at the audio, threatening characters lives, crying. The full works. My husband was very concerned. This book made me feel so much and it was unexpected. I wanted to throw my phone at so many moments.

Kacey’s writing is so captivating and although this book involves a difficult subject, it is written with so much sensitivity and understanding that it as beautiful to listen to, even if I did need to hit pause a few times to just deal with the emotions I was experiencing.

Jess has been beaten down so much in her life that she truly believes she deserves whatever happens to her. It isn't until she meets Sean, a man that treats her with kindness and respect, that she starts to see things differently. I adored her journey to the person she was born to be. Sean may have helped open her eyes, but she's the one that did the work.
Sean is all the things. His capacity for care and kindness is just everything. I loved how gentle he was with Jess. Always wanting what is best for her, even if it wasn't him.
Together they were just perfect. I loved the dynamic between them. The chemistry and tension was palpable.
The band drove me crazy with their don't get involved policy but thank heavens for Deb. Who is not only the sweetest band mum ever but a wonderful person.

Jason Clarke was perfect as Sean and conveyed the emotions well like always. But Emma Wilder stole the show. Emma as Jess was outstanding. I've listened to Emma before, and she's always a hit, but this book, her performance blew me away. The way she conveyed the raw emotion and experience of the character was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Both Emma and Jason have fabulous opposite gender voices and it makes for an all-encompassing listen as you don't get taken out of the story or the performance with the switch. Their voices complement each other well and the transition from one to the other and from each character was smooth. The production was great with no issues.

Heartbreaking & beautiful performance

Derail is book two of the Off Track Records series. Compared to the first book, Detour, this one has so much more angst. Beautifully written, it deals with some sensitive subjects- cheating, domestic violence, and substance use.

Jess's lack of confidence and low self-esteem was understandable, given her background, but having to listen to her inner thoughts on it over and over eventually became annoying. The obstacles that she and Sean went through were at times also difficult to listen to, but was all worth it in the end.

Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder's performance as Sean and Jess were flawless.

Derail is a contemporary rock star romance written in dual first-person POV and recorded in dual narration. It's a standalone that ends with an HEA and deals with sensitive subjects some may find triggering. No cliffhanger.
