About this listen

An ambitious exec and a reluctant rock star sizzle in this workplace romantic comedy about music’s redemptive power, hogging the bed, and finding love.

Bright and ambitious Marin Collins sees her new internship with a prestigious PR firm as a stepping stone to a much-needed permanent position. But her plans for career success are derailed when she’s assigned to go on the road with rock band Kings Quarters, hailed by Rolling Stone as the next big thing. To gain full-time employment, she’ll need to stick to her “no workplace romance” policy and resist the sexy and nerdy rock star on the tour bus.

Enter Brad Osterhauser, the reluctant guitarist who would rather be coding computer games than penning Grammy-nominated songs. While grateful for the band’s success, he’s trapped on tour out of loyalty to the brother and bandmate who helped him escape a depressing home life. His outlook about the current tour improves immensely when he’s smitten by the smart and stunning PR executive who joins the tour.

Traveling by bus, city to city, with a group of practical joking bandmates and a greedy manager, Marin and Brad forge a friendship and forbidden romance over a shared love of Seinfeld episodes, stolen moments, and Red Vines.

Will Marin and Brad’s secret passions destroy both their careers, or take desire to the ultimate encore?

If you love a slow burn romance with laugh-out-loud moments, forced proximity, and sizzling chemistry, scroll up now to buy the book.

A little light on what I would call a rockstar storyline, but a truly entertaining listen none the less. Little to no angst, fun, lots of good vibes among the characters and we find the answers for the strange name to the book. Erin & Sebastian did a wonderful job narrating these characters.

Fun listen

I liked a lot of things about this book. The characters for example, they were well crafted and lifelike. I liked their chemistry, their connection. The romance wasn't a whirlwind but was more on the slow burn side which was also great. I very much liked the lyrics of the songs Brad wrote. I loved the oh so cute story behind the title, which I might add seemed odd at first. I liked the short chapters it worked well with the story. I also liked the writing style.
There was just one thing I didn't like but it kind of ruined the whole experience a bit for me. The buildup to the fallout between Marin and Brad was allright. Brad having a longtime inner conflict as being a rock star is not living his own dream but his brother's, and every little detail about the tour and whatnot brought us to that peak step-by-step. But right after the conflict everything seemed too rushed, like wrapped up and finished in a few sentences. That made the story quite imbalanced. I'd have liked to read at least a short chapter about how the confrontation between Brad and his brother and all other band members went down as this was the focal point of the evolution of his character. On a side note I also found it quite unusual for any musician to maintain work relationship with a manager, who proved to be undeserving and most of all unethical, as if nothing happened.

Both Erin Mallon and Sebastian York did a superb narration. I liked their voices and speech. It was very entertaining with good quality recording.

When Marin gets a new assignment she has no idea where that will take her. She was expecting something entirely different from the PR role she landed with Kings Quarters, a rock band that is traveling the country. As she gets to know the band though she comes to love her position as well as one of the band members even though she can't act on those feelings.

Brad enjoys playing in the band and the perks that come with that but when he first meets Marin he could all of a sudden care less about the groupies and after parties. He just wants to spend time with her. Now to convince Marin they can be together.

This is a fun and funny romance that takes time to get there. The characters are all likeable and I got wrapped up in the goings on of the group. Loved the side characters as well, Marin's bestie Grace is fun and loveable too. There is of course drama to deal with and family issues as well as underhanded moves by some. I really enjoyed listening to this book and highly recommend it.

Erin Mallon and Sebastian York are fantastic as always. Their timing is spot on and they brought out these characters. Loved listening to both of them from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed listening to this one! Great story, characters, and narrators! Also loved that the epilogue mentioned most (if not all) characters in the story, not just Brad and Merin. This is just the first book in a series, but everything was tied up in a neat little bow at the end.

Narrators Sebastian York and Erin Mallon did not disappoint!

Starfish is a slow burn, rockstar romantic comedy written in dual first-person POV, recorded in dual narration. It's the first book in the Starfish series and ends with an HEA.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
