Synopsis
This temptation is my punishment.
His redemption is my penance.
Jonah Hendrix is the bad boy of the music industry.
As lead guitarist of The Hometown Heartless, negative press follows him like a scorned lover,
And even his fans fuel the flames of his torched reputation.
Despite his permanent residence in the media,
He’s never been on my radar.
Not until my boss comes to me with a proposition:
Join The Hometown Heartless on tour to redeem Jonah in the public eye,
and finally get the promotion I’ve been working toward.
I’m not a PR specialist, and it’s not my career ambition,
but I’m determined to see this job through.
As long as I treat the surly rock star like a brand,
I’ll succeed in rehabbing his reputation and survive the tour with my sanity intact.
The problem?
Jonah and I have more in common than either of us realized.
And that desire for connection?
It’s proving to be irresistible.

My Review
'π
Oπ πRπTπ πNπ πEπEπPπIπN' Is the third full length romance book within (The Hometown Heartless) series. Spoken in dual perspectives. Get ready to have your heartstrings pulled by Claire & Jonah.
Once my cover hoe eyes zeroed in on that π₯ cover, my anticipation levels went up a notch!

As soon as this landed on my iPad, I jumped right in, seconds, minutes, and hours just disappeared. This pulled me in effortlessly and kept me hooked throughout.
These two were so well suited, and I couldn’t imagine a better pairing. From the first moment she stated her intentions with saving his career and the hoops he’d have to jump through, a synchronised game of chess was underway. Checkmate..
I loved how Claire wasn't a pushover she went head to toe with her opponent and came out the winner, and our button pusher man Jonah knew how to get under her skin.
The push and shove, the broken parts of themselves, and the slow burn definitely got its hooks into me..
Even with their daily demons chasing their tails they were still easy to connect with and at the same time showcasing how easy it can be to lose oneself but with the right coping mechanisms these two conquered their struggles.
