Thank you so much to Avon for the advance copy of this!!!

This book will be published on October 3rd.

I remember when Tessa announced that she was working on this book, I knew it would be up my alley and that I would just eat it up! And I did!  The idea of famous people children getting together still fascinates me even when it plays out in real life so on paper it was no exception.

"Do you think I can just turn this off? Carve you out of my chest? I can't."

Quick summary: Beat and Melody are each children from the duo Steel Birds who are rock legends and split up before the kids were born. Each cannot run from the shadow of their famous mother but a lucrative opportunity arose to try to get the two back together. Beat and Melody need to work together to try to mend their mothers relationship while trying not to fall in love.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Beat and Melody. In the prologue we got to see their meet cute and see the sparks fly between them as teens. And then when this opportunity to get their moms back together, they were forced to see one another and you could just tell how much they trusted one another even without knowing one another. They were in this unique situation together and could really bond over that. Plus hello it's not a Tessa book if there is not sexual tension and then amazing sex scenes.

There was one element of the story in Beat's character that I just didn't get. I won't say what it is but when you read, you may know what I am referring to. But hey it made for great build up.

"What are you doing tomorrow?"
"What else? Watching these two pretend they wouldn't die for each other."

Other than the romance, the process of getting their moms together was an adventure!  The tie in of social media and an audience obsession with having content 24/7 made for interesting couple weeks for the two. It definitely is an interesting concept and gave me Big Brother vibes.  I thought Beat and Melody did as well as could be expected being thrust into the spotlight. And I did love Beat's protectiveness towards Melody. He got her into this mess and knew he would feel guilty if something would happen to her. 

I love how each Beat and Melody had different relationships with their moms. Beat has a close relationship with his mom, working indirectly with her for a charity while as Melody has a standing meet up with her mom every February. She is a free spirit and Melody pretty much raised herself because of this. We learn in the beginning that there is a reason why Beat needs to do this reunion and it connects to why the band broke up & ultimately why they are put in the same room together. 

If you are a fan of Tessa's writing, I think you would really enjoy this! I think it was such a fun Christmas theme book! Looking forward to more holiday books from her!
