Ballad, written by Gillian Archer, is the third title in the Tin Gods Rock Stars series.

Xander is a playboy lead guitarist in the rock band Tin Gods, Harper is their assistant tour manager. Together a plan is hatched between the two, Xander is trying to keep his ex-girlfriend off his radar since she recently got engaged and became the bands opening act. Harper is trying to get noticed by Tyler, the bands manager.

Pretending to be a happily-in-love couple while on tour throughout Europe leads to late nights in one bed, stolen glances, and passionate “fake” feelings.

This is the third title in this series and each book features a different main couple. While it’s not completely necessary to read the books in order, I highly recommend it. The characters carry over into each book and it was a little confusing trying to figure who was who at the beginning of the book.

Overall the book was written very well and I always enjoy book series that include the musician trope! In true rock band fashion, this book is full of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. No cheating, but there is a little bit of OW drama.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this little!
