Derail

De: Kacey Shea

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder

Don't fall in love with your bandmate's girl.

It's an unspoken rule, and one I'm determined to follow. I've always been the guy to take the high road, to be the voice of reason, but when it comes to Jess, I'm tired of fighting this overwhelming attraction.

The more time we spend together, the more compelled I am to show her she's worthy of love and dreams of her own. The lines of my moral compass begin to blur. I should leave her alone, but I can't. I know it's wrong, but everything about us feels so right.

Despite everything I try, it doesn't change the truth. She's not mine.

I can't sit back and watch her love someone else. But if given the choice, will she even want me?

Beautiful & Emotionally Moving

What an amazing book. This well written read has a beautiful, emotionally moving story line. The characters are complex and engaging. Jess is such an amazing character and her story is sure to break your heart. Sean is a genuinely great guy that will have you feeling super swoony. Together these two create a couple that is perfect for each other, impossible not to fall in love with and make you wish with your whole heart for a HEA for them. This book does deal with hard issues and sensitive subjects and as such, just as is the case in real life things are very rarely simply black or white, but many shades of gray. Sometimes painful, sometimes poignant, sometimes sweet and sometimes heart melting, one thing I know for sure, this is a book that will leave a permanent mark on your heart. This book offers dual narration and the narrators truly hit it out of the park with this one. I thought the voices were a perfect match for the characters and this just helped take this audio book to the next level.

All The Feels!!!

I fell in love with Sean in Detour but I fell even harder in this incredibly emotional story. Derail is Sean & Jessica’s book. It’s unique, filled with challenges, heart wrenching pasts, and self doubts. But it’s also about trust and finding that one person that believes in you. And from that strength anything is possible. There are difficult themes in this book but 3UG’s just make everything perfect. You will love Sean’s sweet, patient friendship as much as the alpha, sexy, protective rock star! Jess is one of those people you instantly want as a friend. Her path to her healing and self-discovery is amazing to watch. It’s empowering and fierce. Jason Clarke (my favorite) and Emma Wilder bring this story to life and it’s incredible.

Woohoo...3UG y’all!!!

This book gives you the story of Three Ugly Guys bassist Sean Willis and how he falls for a woman who’s already taken. Jessica Moore has really low self esteem and puts up with her mostly verbally abusive bf, Coy. They moved from Denver to LA so that Coy can fulfill his dream of becoming the drummer for a band. Coy hits it big time by getting a temporary gig with 3UG while the drummer is in rehab. The chemistry between Sean and Jess is palpable from the moment they meet but she’s taken. I must admit that the verbal abuse was a bit difficult for me to read/listen to and I did have to take breaks. That said, this is a great story that addresses various types of abuse. Well written and narrated. Can’t wait for the next book!
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Another amazing listen!

Another winner from Kacey Shea, made even better by the perfect narration of Jason and Emma! You know it’s good when you can’t help but make a face when a character’s name is spoken, let alone appear. Jason brings Sean to life with his deep voice that lends itself to Sean’s broodiness while Emma captures Jess’s personality with her voice alone. I can’t wait for the next Off Track Records book!

Sizzling and Emotional Romance!

Derail continues to captivate in this sexy, and emotional rock-star romance. The members of the rock band, Three Ugly Guys, are once again in need of a drummer when Iz is sent to rehab. They hire Coy, a talented drummer who seems to gel seamlessly with their music. Coy brings his sweet, kind girlfriend, Jess, with him to move in with the band. Jess has a painful, dark past that makes her feel unworthy of real love. Coy found her at her lowest and she is grateful that he would rescue her. I was so excited to find out more about Sean after falling for him in the first book, Detour. He was so thoughtful, loyal, and protective, and now we got to see more of his loving side. There is something about Coy and his moral code that rubs Sean the wrong way right from the start. He is concerned about his new roommate. He can see the smart, beautiful, and resilient woman behind the walls Jess hides behind and wants to help her shine. But when she belongs to someone else, and lines are crossed, will it destroy the bad before they even start their tour? This is an emotional and heart-pounding story that took my breath away. It could be so sweet, and fun, yet also powerful and raw as it touched on several emotional topics with honesty and empathy.
Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder's narration was so moving as they brought these flawed characters to life. The way they portrayed Sean and Jess in all their strengths and vulnerabilities was so authentic and their chemistry was palpable. I loved listening to them both as they drew me in and made this story even more sizzling and exciting. I can't wait for more from 3UG!
