6 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
They can't resist each other, but their secret romance might tear their band apart... Classical musician Maddie Taylor secretly dreams of a louder life, but geeky girls like her don't get to be rock stars. That is, until tattooed singer Jared Cross catches her playing guitar and invites her to join his band on The Sound, a reality TV show competition. Once on the show, Maddie discovers theres more to Jared than his flirty smile and bad boy reputation. With each performance their attraction becomes impossible to ignore, but when the show pressures them to stay single theyre forced to keep their relationship secret. As the competition heats up, Jared will do whatever it takes for his band to win, and Maddie must decide if following her dream is worth losing her heart. "Sexy, fun, and heartfelt, More Than Music will bring out the rockstar in anyone. A truly passionate love story--both in music and romance. Jared and Maddie's story is a great example of how important it is to be true to yourself and step out onto your own stage." - Julie Cross, NYT Bestselling author of the Tempest series and Third Degree The Chasing The Dream series: #0.5 More Than Exes - Kyle & Alexis's story #1 More Than Music - Jared & Maddie's story #2 More Than Comics - Hector & Tara's story #3 More Than Fashion - Julie & Gavin's story #4 More Than Once - Becca & Andy's story #5 More Than Distance - Carla's story (coming soon!)

Breaking news: my second reading buddy has arrived! Charlie has already proven to be a valuable addition to the team, even if I do have to put my book down every so often and give her cuddles.

I decided to try butter tea on a whim. It wasn‘t disgusting but it wasn‘t delicious, either, so I guess I don‘t need a repeat unless I find myself in Mongolia or something.

I‘m enjoying MORE THAN MUSIC just as much as I expected to. There‘s some good tension on the music competition front, and I like that Briggs takes the time to establish Maddie and Jared as friends.

Time for some outdoor reading. It‘s raining, but the thunderstorm hasn‘t started yet and Casey and I should be okay in the gazebo.

Y‘all, I need a mental health weekend. I‘m gonna read some books and play with some dogs and maybe watch some TV. There‘ll probably be tasty food involved, too.

mcipher I‘m right there with you ... what a week. But it‘s my son‘s birthday so we‘re having a party and cleaning, house and I have hair appointments for me and the cats.... so maybe next weekend I can veg out. 🥺 5y
xicanti @mcipher your weekend sounds intense! I hope the next one treats you better. 5y
mcipher @xicanti Hope your weekend is lovely and relaxing! Mine‘s been not too bad so far - busy but I‘ve got some down time now. 🥰 5y
xicanti @mcipher I‘m glad you caught some downtime! I haven‘t managed as much reading as I hoped I would, but I got a bit of exercise and ate a delicious breakfast. 5y

Mehso-so

This was a quick light read. I did feel like the relationship between Maddie and Jared escalated pretty quickly for people who just met. I guess with the situation they were in it was likely to happen.
