About this listen

Brodie: My rock band has reached the pinnacle of success but fame has its price. Sooner or later, people let you down or sell you out. Except Ivan Cross. My manager, my muse, my obsession. There’s nothing in this world that I want more than Van.
And I always get what I want.

Van: Four years ago, I was selected to manage a hot new band called Wayward Lane. I knew I was in for an exciting ride—and a world of trouble—and it’s all because of their lead singer, the provocative Brodie James. We’ve always butted heads but lately, that tension is higher. When Brodie insists on an impromptu concert in New Orleans at Halloween, I make it happen. The city, the food, the music, it’s intoxicating. So is Brodie, and I’m not sure I can resist his pull any longer.

Even though Brodie could have anyone he wants, all he seems to want is me.

Punk-In is a bi-awakening, age gap, workplace, MM romance filled with sizzling chemistry, an unforgettable Halloween concert, and a HEA fit for a rockstar.

This author is new to me, but wow, I enjoyed this book and audio and can't wait for the next in the series.

We meet Brodie and Van, the front person of the band and the band manager. It is brilliantly written and handles delicate situations well. Your heart gets a few tugs along the way.

Zachary Zaba brings these two main characters to life, with French elements spoken beautifully. The narration is great, although I speeded up this audio to 1.20 on Audible, which is usual for me.

Wayward Lane is a cleverly named band who are going places. They’ve got a hard rock sound that fans love and are doing well – partly thanks to their manager Van. Van has a secret, though. He used to be a musician and is still a songwriter. One of those songs winds up in lead singer’s Brodie’s hands. He’s moved by the love ballad and knows he wants to sing this song. About unrequited love, no less. Which works out well since each of the men has been pining for each other for a very long time.

They wind up performing a duet at a charity concert in New Orleans and things get…personal. But Van wants the band to succeed – and he believes getting involved with the much younger lead singer will interfere with that. Brodie’s very much of the ‘I want what I want and I’m going to get it’ rockstar tradition. So the match is set and they might get a little help from a ghost or interfering bandmate.

This book also delves into deeper issues such as losing parents, which hits home for many readers – especially older ones with aging parents like myself. While I’m on this track – brilliant French. I love that Van is Quebecois and Wayward Lane wind up playing in New Orleans. Vive le Quebec. Which circles me around to the great narrator, Zacharay Zaba. French is a tough language and Zachary did a great job.

I wasn’t certain what to expect when I scooped up this audio, but I wound up really enjoying it and can’t wait for the rest of the books in the series.

Ava Olsen is a new author to me - but I am definitely going to read more of her work. Brody and Van’s story are the best kind of rockstar romance. I absolutely love that this is a very well written story, with two people falling in love and navigating being together. There should be more books like this! The narrator was great and I really hope the next book will get an audio version too❤️

Loved this story

This was my first book/listen by Ava Olsen. Rockstar/Manager Romance, Age Gap Bi awakening, & Pining. Enjoyed getting to know Brodie & Van. The dynamic between an artist manager & their clients is always an interesting one. Hearing the story of how they fell for each other was interesting to say the least. Zachary Zaba did a great job narrating both Brodie & Van.
