A good start

This is the first book that I have listened to this author and overall I really enjoyed it. There were a couple times where I felt like I was missing some backstory for some of the characters but seeing as how this is the first book in the series I think their stories will become developed in later books.
I enjoyed listening to both narrators and hopefully they will voice the characters in later books.

Funny and Sweet

Played By the rock star was such a cute read! It was funny and sweet, and I just genuinely liked it.
I was lucky enough to listen to the audio version of this, and let me tell you, it’s wonderful! I certainly have a thing for Zaracry Webber’s voice, so I knew I would like it, but the way both he and Stella Hunter performed was amazing. Their performance made an already great story even better!
Normally characters like Becca annoy me a little. I am pretty type A, so reading about someone who is on a break from life seems crazy. However, I have to say Becca’s character was written in a way that, for the most part, didn’t annoy me. She had a decent head on her shoulders, and other than a few parts at the end, I enjoyed her. Linx was the perfect rockstar god. He was terribly cute. I loved his interactions between him and his cat, as well as his family.
The story was pretty predictable other than a few twists that seemed more a setup for the next book in the series than adding to this book's plot. I did enjoy seeing Becca and Linx grow into their relationship. Though I would have liked a little more buildup to their relationship. I felt like they were more into each other for artificial reasons.
This was an enjoyable read that made me laugh out loud in a few places. I will certainly read the next book in this series!

Such a Great Story!

This was exactly what I needed to get out of a book slump! The story was laugh out loud funny with lovable characters and a sweet ending. Stella Hunter and Zachary Webber do an amazing job bringing this book to life. You will not be disappointed diving in with Linx and Becca!

Interesting but slow start

It was an interesting and fun story but there was a bit of a lull at times. Zach Webber and Stella Hunter did a good job with the narration with Zach pulling off the most humorous part involving Babushka.

Fun & Sexy with a bit of Gibson...

Biker Bar. Rock Star. Reformed Groupie. What more could you want.

Listening to this book brought me lots of smiles and laughs! I enjoyed the banter between Linx & Becca... And just hearing about Gibson was entertaining!

Linx is trying to figure out what to do with himself while his bandmates figure out what they are planning for themselves. This leaves him searching for more and looking at his future.

Becca is taking a break. From work. From stress. From what she has been for so long. But at the same time, she is staying away from the happy groupie vibes that she once found. But can she find a new world with the man who has been off-limits???

Linx & Becca are learning to be themselves and find a new understanding of themselves.

I love the new beginning... Friends first... Discovery... This was my first book by this author and it caused me to add more to my TBR!

While the story was great, it was even better listening to Zachary Webber tell it to me! His voice draws you in and was truly SEXY!

So much fun. Great rom-com with more Babushka!

Christina Hovland has delivered another laugh-out-loud romcom with heart, heat and everyon'es favorite grandma, Babushka!

Played by the Rockstar is a romance between two people that are both at crossroads in their life, and are trying to figure out their path forward. Cedric "Linx" Lincoln is a rock star whose band is on hiatus, and it has him questioning what he wants, where he goes next, and how to have the life he wants. Becca Forrester is a behavioral therapist that is questioning her drive and ability to provide therapy to her patients without losing a piece of herself. They meet up in Denver through a mutual friend, and their connection just can't be denied.

Linx is such a soft and loving soul, which takes Becca by surprise. From their first meeting, they just can't seem to deny how attracted they are to each other, and how happy they make each other. And just like other Christina Hovland romances, the sparks fly, the dialogue is sharp, witty and entertaining, and humor abounds. Plus, Babushka, the meddlesome grandma from the Mile High Matched series, makes a hysterical appearance.

The audio, narrated by Stella Hunter and Zachary Webber, is amazing. It's a great listen with tons of heart, humor and heat, and Christina's words are delivered with spot-on narration in the hands of these two first-rate narrators.

Fun listen

I love rockstar romances; I just think they're so much fun. This story was no different. I loved getting to know Linx and Becca through this story. There were so many laugh out loud moments in this, but there were also sweet moments. It was a really good balance to me.

The narration was absolutely stellar. Zachary Webber and Stella Hunter really brought these characters to life for me. I honestly could listen to these two all day.

This was a fun listen that I will definitely come back to!

Entertaining

This is a good story. You want to know what happens next. Not a cliffhanger but you just want to know what else is happening with these characters. It almost ended too soon.
The narrators knocked it out of the park. We know we LOVE Zachary Webber!!! This was my first time for Stella Hunter. I loved her, too!! Well done!!
I'm going to listen to it again soon. Just because.

Wonderful rock star love story!

This is my first book from this author and I really enjoyed the story. Even though it wasn't the first in the series, I didn't feel like I needed to read the previous books to understand what was going on.

Becca has moved back to Denver to take a vacation from her life. While there she starts waitressing at a bar that's frequented by rock bands... and especially her favorite band.

While working, Linx who is the bassist for her favorite band Dimefront starts coming to the bar and it becomes nearly instantattraction to each other.

The whole story is wonderful and I honestly can't say is my favorite part was the discussion Becca and her friends had to sit thru with her mother (omg that would be so embarrassing!!) Or the "party" at the retirement home!!

The story has a bit of everything in it... and I enjoyed listening to the audio book. Both narrators did a fabulous job. Only thing I really caught is a couple of times very British words were used that threw me off.

I recieved an ALC for my honest review.
