By the time, Jordy finally raises the courage to tell Dave how he feels, someone else has stolen the guitarist’s heart and the revelation threatens to tear the band apart. Will Jordy lose everything he loves, including Rogue Night, or will he finally find someone who plays to his beat?

Reviewer: Gigi
Review: I thought this story was really touching. The strain, the isolation of a gay singer living up to a set image of heterosexual rocker is palpable in this story. You really get a sense of desperation that Jordy is going through enduring an unrequited love interest in his best friend and bandmate, and then a sense of hopelessness once Jordy realizes he does not stand a chance with Dave. Once the story progresses into Jordy coming out I actually felt the relief the main character experiences.
This author is very good at writing emotion into their story lines. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even without a sexy love scene, didn’t need it.
