I decided that it was time to give the Bad Habit series a go! You know how much I enjoy reading about tough rockers! It was also about time I tried J.T. Geissinger, and I hope to read more of her work in the future.
Title: Sweet as Sin
Author: J.T. Geissinger
Series: Bad Habit #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
For a feisty young woman and a rock star god, love and rock 'n' roll don't mix--they ignite.
Twenty-something Kat Reid is loving life as an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has absolutely no interest in rock ’n’ roll, but in order to pay the mortgage, she agrees to work on the set of a rock video for the world-famous rockers known as Bad Habit…which brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx, lead singer of Bad Habit and Adonis in the flesh.
However, the fiercely independent Kat isn’t impressed by the hard-living, womanizing rock star. But when Nico’s model girlfriend shows up to the set drunk and Kat is tapped to replace her as the video’s sexy bride, her combustible chemistry with Nico suddenly threatens to consume the set. Nico feels it, too—and becomes determined to win Kat over, body and soul. Yet behind his rock god swagger, Nico hides a dark secret. Can he rock Kat’s world forever, or will he just break her heart?

J.T. Geissinger is an author I've seen around for a while, and when I was browsing for my next audible read, I snapped this one up on sale! Who doesn't love a famous lead singer falling for an unsuspecting make up artist... who also happened to land the female lead in their next music video!
I loved Kat and how true she was. She stood up for a girl who was under the weather, even though she didn't know her. I liked that she was that kind of strong, confident woman. She caught Nico's eye and tried to keep him at arms length, but Nico was a persistent fella!
I enjoyed meeting the secondary characters, particularly Kat's friends Chloe and Grace; they were like the Angel and Devil that gave advice in any situation. I loved that she had people that she could rely on at any moment, that didn't take crap either! Nico's band members supported him when he needed them, but I'm not sure about A.J. I think I'd like to see more of him, he's not rubbing me the right way as yet...
I was hoping to really enjoy this one, but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me. Nico seemed a little too much alpha male and over protective, not wanting Kat to make any decisions for herself. Kat made stupid decisions at times when she should've listened. It was like they couldn't get on the same page at the same time. I'm also wondering if the narration was one of the reason's I couldn't connect to these characters and I think I should've read the book instead! I do hope that I try her work again in the future though.
*** Swoon Thursday was first bought to us by YA Bound. Since they are no longer with us, and with permission from Trisha Wolfe, I have decided that those of us that love to swoon need a central meet up point. So here it is ladies! I have a link up for everyone at the bottom of the post you can add your swoons to, and I’ll set it up every week! So tell all other swooners out there to come on over, link up so we can visit each other! ***
I thought this moment was really sweet, where Nico told Kat how much she meant to him.
“What’s more romantic, Kat? Fallin’ in love because you don’t know any better . . . or fallin’ in love, knowin’ it’s gonna ruin you, knowin’ it’s gonna rip out your fuckin’ heart and smash you into a million little pieces, but doin’ it anyway, because you’d rather pay the price and be ripped and smashed forever than never get a taste of it at all?”
My lips parted. A funny little noise escaped my mouth. The edges of everything grew fuzzy, because of the water welling in my eyes. “I’m not going to ruin you,” I promised in a vehement whisper.
His lips curved to a sad smile. “Yeah, you are. You already have. Just the way you’re lookin’ at me right now has ruined me for any other woman.” His quicksilver eyes grew intense. “And I’m gonna make damn sure I ruin you for any other man.”
I felt the kiss he gave me all the way to my toes. It was hungry—no, it was devouring. I clung to him, feeling what little reason I had left regarding this relationship slipping away.
