*****5 Stars*****
Let me start by saying this hugely anticipated book is, no question, my favourite so far this year, but Griffin Hancock, what have you done to me?!?
It's been a while since I've had a book hangover of this proportion and I certainly didn't expect Griffin to be the one to do it and send me from laughing out loud to moments of heartbreak and uncontrollable sobbing. It's what I can only describe as one heck of a roller coaster ride.
I expected laughs and I definitely got them in spades. There were times when I couldn't read on for laughing.
This book is told entirely in Griffin's point of view and if you thought you knew him from Kellan and Keira's books, then you can rest assured his thoughts are even more crazy and outlandish in this book. His ego is larger than all the other D-Bags put together and some may say he is selfish and inconsiderate, but despite his faults I found him to be totally, sex obsessed, endearing and quite frankly adorable, even though I'm sure he'd prefer the phrase 'Sex God', in fact there are so many adjectives to describe the man.
If you are expecting this book to be along the lines of Kellan and Keira's book then think again, because the humour alone in this book set it apart from the rest of the series and whilst his relationship with Anna plays a big part, its also his relationship with the other members of the band that is the focus.
In true SC Stephens style......WHAM!!!..... she tears out your heart (at one point making me reconsider my fondness for a particular band member) and piece by piece puts it back together and that to me is a sign of a truly brilliant author of any genre.
Kellan will always and I mean always have a special place in my heart, but I think there's more than enough room enough for Griffin 'The Hulk' Hancock.

The spotlight doesn't only shine. Sometimes it burns.
Being the bad-boy bassist for the world's hottest band has earned Griffin Hancock some perks: a big house, a fast car, and most importantly his incredible wife, Anna. The one thing it hasn't brought him is the spotlight. Anna tells him to be patient, that his talent will win out. But Griffin is through waiting for permission to shine.
Without warning, Griffin makes a shocking decision and takes the gamble of a lifetime. Suddenly he's caught up in a new level of lights, cameras, and chaos. One that pushes his relationship with Anna to its limits. Anna has always found his unpredictable behavior sexy, but lately he's seen an ache in her eyes--and it has his soul in knots. Just as the recognition Griffin seeks is finally within reach, the thing he loves most in life could be slipping through his fingers...
