Publisher's summary

Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic New Adult series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.

Can rock n' roll's most notorious bad boy be tamed by love?

As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it—now he's caught up in a life of hard partying and fast women. When a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant hired to keep him out of trouble.

Lena's not willing to take any crap from her sexy boss and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far, he just might lose the best thing that's ever happened to him. Can he convince his stubborn assistant to risk it all and let her heart take the lead?

This audiobook includes an excerpt from the first book in Kylie Scott's new Dive Bar series, Dirty.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

The witty Lena steals the show!

Oh Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. You were a sexy, complicated, high handed, nasty shit for a lot of this book, but Lena was your Waterloo.

The gorgeous lead singer for Stage Dive, is a certifiable Asshole with a capitol A. This assessment is universally agreed upon among his closest friends, and enemies alike. But when he gets clean and sober, he becomes even worse.

When the record company insists upon a sober companion for Jimmy, he complies -- but unfortunately, he goes through them like -- well, like the parade of groupies he's had sex with. When Jimmy fires his latest babysitter, the band is called to a meeting with their manger to discuss it. While there, he and the bad witness a curvy dark haired temp going toe to toe with their even bigger of an asshole manager. This catches the band's attention and they jump on the chance to hire the no nonsense woman as a new companion for Jimmy. Hey, they've tried everything else!

I don't want to give away a moment of this hilarious and touching story. Each successive book in the series gets a little more intense, and we come to care for the characters even more. This is a very well written series about four childhood friends who find love where they least expect it. And about the four very different and unique women who save them from themselves.

While I loved all the women, Lena is by far my favorite. The witty dialogue, emotional scenes, and of course, the sex -- are so well done, and held my interest throughout. I will admit I wanted to punch Jimmy in the face a few times, but Lena taught him a lesson he'll never forget, and I was more than good with that.

Loved it. Highly recommended!

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy!

This is my absolute favorite book in the series because Jimmy seems to be the most complex character and if we were handing out awards he would get "Most Improve." You get bits and pieces of their beginning of the Stage Dive Boys but this is the story in the series that gives the most background. You get the group get-togethers which always include drama and lots of humor. Jimmy tries really hard to make us dislike him then he redeems himself. I love Andi Arndt as the narrator for this series.

The explicit sex scenes do a great job helping to define the characters. You learn so much by paying attention to how the characters relate to each other.

Definitely worth the credit.

Andi's Narration Cracked me up!

Any additional comments?

Narration - Andi Arndt - Really Good

Andi's narration cracked me up. She did a really good sassy Lena. There were a ton of lines that really had me chuckling.

Jimmy is a real douche nozzle but I also thought he was pretty sweet in his own way. This book took a LONG time for our two MC's to finally get together, even though you could tell he was all about her, he just kept trying to push her away without really letting her get away for the majority of the book.

Not much sex...took a long time to get to that too.

There's a lot of mixed feelings about this book, but I enjoyed it - the banter between Lena and Jimmy and of course Mal is a hoot in this one too. I didn't even mind the way Jimmy acted all that much because I just kept waiting for the when and how of his redemption. I actually teared up a little during the inevitable break-up that comes in all romances.

I'm waiting patiently for the audio release of Ben's story the end of this month.
