Oliver Cunning - Backstage Pass

Whenever I read a non-fiction book, I have the urge to alternate between it and a fiction book for some reason, maybe I need to have some form of escapism, go into a fictional world all of the time.  So while reading A Moveable Feast, I started to read Backstage Pass to provide a contrast between reality and fiction.

Backstage Pass is the first in Olivia Cunning's Sinners on Tour series which focusses on the metal band Sinners; like Michelle A. Valentine's Black Falcon series, each book in the series focusses on a separate band member.  Many of Olivia Cunning's books focus on musicians and their love lives due to her love of music that she's had since she was a kid, seeing Styx for the first time, and that is combined with her love of romance fiction; it's a wonderful concept and many have done it but each have their own twists on the concept and I can't wait to read Cunning's variations.

Recommended To: Adult audience

Favourite Characters: Brian - very sweet and loveable

Favourite Part: "Just love me, Myrna," he whispered against her lips.  "Please."
She turned her head to break his kiss.  "What did you say?"
He stared over her head, swallowing several times.  "Make love to me,  Myrna.  Please." - Page 268

Good Points: The characters and their personalities; the story; the relationships explored were interesting; great combination of different elements; better than Black Falcon series

Bad Points: Not a lot of story in comparison to the amount of time the couple spend together
