Beautiful Crazy

September 12, 2016
Lane’s promising debut doesn’t spare the steam as marketing professional Kevan Landry falls into the arms of Mason Dillon and takes him home for a hot, hot, hot one-night stand. Naturally, she doesn’t know he’s a business rival—the wealthy scion of one of Oregon’s biggest marketing firms—until after he’s won her heart. Kevan, a former tattoo artist who’s as quirky and complicated as the Portland music scene, is fighting for her life. She’s run out of resources to keep Jolt Marketing afloat and also needs money to pay her brother’s drug rehab bills. If she can only secure a marketing deal with rock band Manix Curse, she’ll be all set. But when she learns that Mason also hungers to close a deal with the band, she loses all hope. Everything gets even more complicated when the band inexplicably invites the pair to tour with them. Raunchy sex and business espionage add to the unbridled appeal of this oil-and-water love match.

Manix Curse is the hottest metal band in Portland, Oregon, and Kevan Landry is determined to sign them. Her new marketing firm could use the work, not to mention the money. It would be nice to pay off some bills and her brother's stint in rehab before she's flat broke. Unfortunately, Kevan isn't the only person vying for the band's attention. Mason Dillon is the CEO of Portland's largest music PR firm, and his job is contingent on signing Manix. Too bad they didn't know this before they slept together after a Manix show. Now Kevan and Mason are rivals for a band they desperately need to win. Kevan's rockabilly style and Mason's suit-and-tie look don't seem compatible, but the chemistry between the two is undeniable. Working against each other may be the least of their worries. Lane seamlessly blends romance with music culture, peppering this hot love story with references to bands and venues every diligent music fan will appreciate. The world Lane builds here is addictive; be prepared for readers craving the next Rock-n-Ink romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
