BLURB: Jinx Jett is a rock superstar. As such, the hunky Skull Blasters drummer thoroughly enjoys the many perks of willing groupies, earning him a reputation as the band slut. Making it big and scoring hot women is something Jinx never expected. There's a little voice in the back of his mind constantly reminding him of how he used to be -- shy, overweight and acne prone. One night in a gay bar turns life upside down when Jinx runs into Jayden Dempsey, a kid he's been fantasizing about since giving him his autograph at a mall. Long-held insecurities keep Jinx from fully committing to anyone, and he may lose Jayden if he can't put his past behind him.

Jayden Dempsey always wanted out of his life in small-town Alabama. When his parents kicked him out after he told them he was gay, Jayden decided the time was right to move on. He crosses the country to try out for 'Singers!', a show that propels unknowns to stardom. In a twist, producers choose him and three others as winners and form a boy band called London Boys.This season, the show brings Jayden and the guys back for the finale. Surprise! The contest's heavy metal finalist will be singing with Skull Blasters.

Jinx and Jayden's initial meeting doesn't go so well, and Jayden's stunned when the guy he's crushed on for years turns out to be a total jerk. It doesn't stop him from falling into Jinx's arms every time they're alone, but Jayden didn't sign on for one nighters. He wants Jinx Jett, baggage and all.

Can a former teen outcast put rejection behind him and embrace the acceptance standing right in front of him? How much will one boy bander put up with from his rock idol before enough is enough? Can they make it work? Or are they jinxed in love?

â€‹I have been waiting for this story, as I wasnâ€™t sure if I was going to like Jinx or not â€“ he seemed like someone who was used to having woman falling at his feet, and in his bed.... total slut. However, the more I read about him, the more I realised that this was just a front that he put on for people â€“ and most people believed that was what he was like, only the other members of band knew differently.

After a doctor visit that turned him off women for a while, he decides to visit a gay bar, and is pointed into the direction of the bathrooms at the back which are complete with glory holes! Oh wow, Jinx gets himself a blow job, but also one that was out of this worldâ€¦. And when he sees who the person was who seemed to be an expert, it was none other than Jayden, whom he had met a while ago while out with Gareth.

They have one night together, which is one I donâ€™t Jinx will forget for a long time, his first experience of gay sex, and he seems to feel like he has realised what has been missing from his life â€“ not a woman, but a man in it. However, the following morning Jayden is gone, no note or message, and Jinx doesnâ€™t like the feelings he is having, even though it is what he used to do!

Jinx is not sure exactly what he is feeling, but Jayden has stirred something inside him, but something from his past holds him back from letting his true feelings show. Jayden was kicked out of his parentsâ€™ home when he came out, and he has decided that he will not be hidden away, and tells this to Jinx. Jinx is also not sure if Jayden is just with him just because of who he is, but Jayden completely rocks his world when he tells him a few home truths, and then walks away from him again.

Can Jinx get over his past and confront his demons to set himself free to love Jayden? Will he ever let Jayden see the man he is, rather than the front he puts on? Will Jayden ever forgive him for the way he has treated him?

â€‹This book was one that I couldnâ€™t put down once I started reading, and I absolutely loved the storyline, and it actually changed how I thought of Jinx too, he is not a shallow person at all, in fact he is the complete opposite. I also look forward to seeing how Jayden and Jinx get on together in future books too, as well as Axel and Gareth too.

â€œCan I get some clothes?â€

â€œI like you in a robe.â€ Jinx waggled his brows.

I started for the door and Jinx jumped up and grabbed my hand. He pushed me into the wall and gently pinned my hands above my head.

â€œJinx â€¦â€

I gasped as his thigh insinuated itself between my legs, rubbing my balls.

â€œYeah?â€ his breath caressed my lips.

â€œI â€¦ fuck â€¦ stop doing that,â€ I panted.

â€œThis?â€ Jinx raised his knee higher and rubbed my dick.

My God, my mouth actually started watering as Jinx leaned in closer to me, letting his tongue trail my bottom lip. I wanted to taste him so fucking bad my whole body hurt. I wanted him. I couldnâ€™t deny it.

â€œFuck, you are sexy as sin,â€ Jinx rumbled against my lips. â€œLove your lips, your eyes, even your fucking hair turns me on.â€

I clenched my eyes shut and tried to stay in control.

â€œYeah? Even if Iâ€™m a talentless pretty boy?â€

Jinx stiffened. He pulled back slowly and searched my eyes.

â€œIâ€™m sorry I said that.â€

â€œYeah? Why did you say it? Whatâ€™s your problem with me being in a boy band?â€

Jinx sighed and let my hands go. He rubbed his hands down his face and exhaled slowly. I continued to speak because by that time, my word vomit had begun.

â€œI donâ€™t even like boy bands, but you know what? This is where I am and fuck it! Iâ€™m successful. Do you know I auditioned with one of your bandâ€™s songs?â€ Jinxâ€™s gasp was very audible in the room. His eyes widened. â€œYep, thatâ€™s right. I sang Manwhore; the song fits you.â€

â€œI deserve that.â€

â€œAre you going to tell me what your problem is?â€ I placed my hands on my hips, glaring at him.
