About the Book:
Morgan Mallory meets beautiful, sexy, bond haired, blue eyed, Mathew O’Conner, a singer in a rock band, when she’s just a teen. Her instant physical attraction to him completely unnerves her. Their convoluted relationship transcends years, and even when she knows it would be best to stay away from him she can’t seem to stop herself. What is it about the bad boy she seems to love?
An edgy coming of age novel that is erotic, entertaining, and deeply moving. The characters will seize you and stay with you long after the read is finished. Not your predictable Cinderella story.
Review:
Boy in a Band is a poignant, emotional and very sexy story of Morgan and Matthew, who meet as 12 year olds and in the Seventies. This is an extremely nostalgic coming of age story that grabbed me by my heart from the first page and kept me spellbound until the very end. This book deserves wider acclaim and I hope that more readers will give this gorgeous story a chance!
Matthew is the quintessential bad boy, sexy and irresistible and unwilling to commit to one girl. Morgan loves him from the first time she lays eyes on him and her love for him spans decades. She keeps coming back even when Matthew is openly cruel to her, because they have an intense physical attraction and deep friendship that she is unable to ignore.
This isn’t an “insta-love” story, but is instead a beautiful story that unfolds over many years, with plenty of steam and sexy times. There were times when I became incredibly frustrated with Morgan’s choices but then Matthew would do something that showed his sensitive and loving side, and I actually sympathized with Morgan’s actions. Boy in a Band is a rich and satisfying book filled with characters that I won’t soon forget. Ms. Loomis is a very talented writer and I absolutely loved this poignant and emotional story!
