Publisher's summary

Most musicians would do anything to work with the hot, young record producer known as “Rolling Deep.” R.D. can pick and choose any artist he wants - and he wants Laurel Raineau. A classical violinist, Laurel plays soaring music that touches R.D. to his very soul. But the last thing Laurel wants is to work with someone whose exploits with the ladies appear in the tabloids every week. Not one to take no for an answer, R.D. keeps trying - and failing - to let Laurel know that he’s not the player he’s made out to be. So he introduces himself to her by his real name, Zachary Wilder, hoping to win her over. But it’s Zach who falls under this beauty’s spell. Now it’s only a matter of time before Laurel learns who the man she’s losing her heart to really is - but can she walk away from a passion that feels so right?

Love Worth Fighting For

This is a great weekend listen. The story is predictable but still very charming. I recommend starting with the first books of the series, so you will have an appreciation for all of the characters in this book.

Okay at best.

I didn't enjoy this book. It wasn't realistic, nor were the characters. I thought the plot was good and provided a strong base for a ur book, but the book didn't come together for me as I'd hoped.

GOOD DEFINITELY.......... BUT JUST NOT GREAT

Of course the cover picture tempted me.... but the story sounded good too (honestly) this is book 4 of the Grayson Friends series but is easily a stand alone listen.

An easygoing passionate contemporary romance that tells of Zach's deception and the lengths he will go to to get Laurel signed to his label. But it backfires when he actually falls for her and when his secret identity is accidentally unveiled the 'proverbial' hits the fan. Laurel takes his betrayal hard and just can't forgive him but neither can she forget him. and Zach will move heaven and earth to win her back because deep down he's one of the good guys.

It was romantic, emotional, and enjoyable with the H/H having great chemistry but I just felt Laurel's reactions were a little over the top, the plot was also predictable and, for me, it lacked any pulse pounding excitement.

Worth a credit? If you're in the mood for a light uncomplicated romance then YES this is your book and, although I quite enjoyed this listen, I'm not tempted to search for the other books in the series.

Decent read

Laurel was so annoying and uncompromising it almost made me want to stop listening, I actually skipped through parts of it. This book is not what I am used to from the Grayson books. Definitely not feeling like I was to read or listen to the book in series.
