Publisher's summary

Clutch - verb: to grasp and hold tightly; to seize; snatch.

Flighty. Stupid. That’s what my sisters think of me. I’m tired of being misunderstood. With a suitcase in hand and the ocean as my beacon, I’m charting my own path. Yet, barely a day on the road, I almost crash and burn.

Running into Silas Palmer, a sexy-as-sin rock star, changes my life. Silas makes me feel...exceptional. Aimless. 

He’s always known his course. And even now, when he’s abandoning fame and fortune, he knows what he wants. 

Me.

But life is never that simple.

story is just luke-warm

The narration was good (Jacob & Callie) BUT the story was just ok. The writing was flat and predictable. The story was a rehash of ever other rock star romance I have ever read. I only purchased it because of the narrators but I should have waited a few days to see what other reviewers thought before I spent the credit.

So much heart!!!

The amount of heart in this rockstar romance really surprised me. SM West really delivers on the romance in Clutch. Pansy (really who does that to their child?) is on a mission on self-discovery and stumbles upon rockstar Silas. These two are the complete opposite but it doesn’t matter, their attraction is strong and the chemistry is lighting them on fire! I just love the way their friendship develops first into something special before anything romantic. These two won over my heart!

The narration on this was amazing! Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton really added more heart and a realism to the story that I didn’t expect. Morgan is an amazing rockstar! Silas is a bit hot tempered; he’s always known what he wants and he goes after it with gusto. He wants Pansy now. Pansy isn’t as confident in herself. In fact, she’s very unsure of herself and is on a mission of discovery. Dalton gives her the perfect voice without making her sound like a pansy.

This book grew on me

I wasn’t too sure about this book when I started it, in fact I was several chapters in before I really got hooked. But by the end I absolutely fell in love with Silas and Pansy.

Great first book!

Silas and Pansy are absolutely so great. Pansy is just so dang lovable and quirky. She is trying to find something in her life that brings her joy, but she has had a tough time of it. Silas started off as not a nice guy (like seriously I didn't want to hear anymore), but by midway through, he just becomes so sweet to Pansy and being their for her. I can't wait for the other band members books. The narrators were absolutely amazing and perfect for both characters!

Freaking Fantastic Rockstar Romance!

OMG! I love this book. The narrators did an amazing job. Had me hooked from the first chapter. Pansy is a very smart, witty, strong and yet flighty woman. Silas is a rockstar looking for a change. These two meet and there is an immediate connection. Both are at a crossroads and trying to figure out their next steps. They decide to give a relationship a go. The chemistry between the two is off the charts. There were so many funny situations. Lots of family and friend drama. SM West has done amazingly with this rockstar romance.

Silas & Pansy 💕

I really enjoyed the story of Pansy and Silas. They meet by accident but it turns out they’re perfect together. I loved how Silas believed in Pansy. And she has his back, no matter what.

Silas is part of the rockband Trojan.
I’m looking forward to the stories of the other band members.

It’s in dual POV and I liked both narrators, Callie Dalton and Jacob Morgan.

The Upside of Hitting a Pothole

I couldn't put it down! Pansy seems flighty at first but she's lost and searching for her place in the world. Silas is arrogant with some anger issues. Together, they are magnificent! They are playful, dirty, supportive, and they ground each other in the best ways.

Oh, I should also mention that they are occasionally insatiable! 💕🔥💜 And let us not forget the power of hitting a "good" pothole and how that led to their not-so-cute meeting. Marvelous! Just marvelous! (PSA: Please don't try that at home! Sync your Bluetooth before driving.)

I read and listened to this book. Callie Dalton and Jacob Morgan did a really good job bringing the characters to life.

I'd already fallen in love with Trojan when I listened to Reverb so it's no surprise that I would fall for this book. Yes, I did enjoy them out of order. I prefer, and recommend, reading them in order. While there are a few things spoiled, going out of order was OK.

Enjoyed so much

The progression of Silas and Pansy’s love story was great. It wasn’t a rushed romance like some books are. Both Silas and Pansy are trying to figure life out. Together they give each other encouragement and peace I’m trying to figure their path.
Of course Jacob and Callie’s performances was great.

Sweet Romance

This is the first book in the Trojan Series. Silas and Pansy’s journey is interesting, sweet, sexy, and fun. I like their first meet. They complement each other. Their journey is filled with drama, angst, and ups and downs. The ending is beautiful. Callie Dalton and Jacob Morgan did a good job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Reverb, Jared and Eva's story, the next book in the Series.

So much more than your usual rockstar

The Storyline was different to the usual rock star books i usually read. I found the characters endearing and likeable. The main storyline is focused more on the toll it takes on the members of the band and how hard it is to find someone genuine And not just a gold digger. Excellent performance from both Callie and Jacob.

Addictive & Beautiful

I first read Clutch in 2017 when it was a standalone and said then that I felt there was the opportunity to develop the story into a series. So boy was I happy when this became reality and we would get to discover the stories of the other band members. There are now 4 books in the series and I decided I needed to re-join Pansy and Silas before bingeing on the other books. And having recently discovered a love for audio books whilst working, I jumped at the chance to listen to Clutch in audio and I'm so glad I did because listening to the story took me on a whole different journey that was just as addictive and beautiful.

Everything I said in my previous review of the Kindle version still stands. It's a story about self discovery and finding love when you least expect it. You won't be able stop reading (or listening in this case) and it's more than just your typical rockstar romance. As for the audio version, I love the dual POV from male and female perspectives, and the actors selected have the perfect voices which will carry you away as you lose track of time and become consumed in the story. I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series and I have the next 2 books downloaded and ready to go.

Enjoyed

The dual narration is a great listen to Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton.


Silas and Pansy’s relationships full of drama and laughter with some good chemistry, with family tensions
I found the character descriptions , brilliantly written . The relationship is fast moving and I found myself wanting them to get their happy ever after. It had the perfect balance of romance and drama with some light-hearted comedic moments mixed in too.
I would definitely recommend this book

Beautifully Written and Performed Romance

This was my first book and audiobook by S.M. West. Narrated by Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton, this is a rockstar romance unlike any I have read before. Besides the oddest meet cute, maybe ever, involving a car almost running a hitchhiker over, an assortment Murphy's Law events including an overnight in jail. This is a story of the Rock Star who wants out of the band, and the woman who fills all the holes missing in his soul. It is a beautifully written and performed romance, about family, friendship and love. The romance starts almost immediately but it is a slow burn to get to the sexy bits and it makes it so much more worth it. Silas is a little broken which is total catnip and Pansy has been told for the longest time she is flakey, but she is one of the most determined characters I have ever read. She wants to find her true path and is unwilling to settle for something that will make her less than content with her life.

Some parts of this story were a little slow, but I think it was more that I wanted to move on to see what was happening in other storylines because I was so invested. I very much enjoyed Rock Star Jacob Morgan and his growly demands in my ears with this one. I received a code for this audiobook and voluntarily give my honest review.

I loved it!

Silas and Pansy’s journey to happily ever after is sweet, sexy, and fraught with family tensions and hard decisions. I loved the slow burn storyline with just the right amount of angst. The characters are a fantastic mix and I’m very much looking forward to reading about the next band member. Clutch is the first book in the exciting Trojan series and you won’t want to miss it! Great narrators too!

Pansy & Silas

I love a book that hooks you from the first scene! As soon as Pansy "met" Silas, I couldn't stop listening. These two met under the most unusual of circumstances, and this chance meeting changed their lives. Silas is a rock star and he is tired of the limelight. Pansy is the person who cannot find her niche and is searching for it. Together, they find exactly what they are looking for. Silas is a great character. He is not your typical rock star, and he gives all the feel good vibes to the story. For me, Pansy is a joy. While she is unsettled, she is optimistic and I love that about her. The supporting cast is fantastic, each giving the story a little more angst and advice. It's a fun listen and the ending left me completely satisfied!

Callie Dalton and Jacob Morgan are wonderful cast as Pansy and Silas. Dalton is a seasoned narrator, and she is able to fill Pansy's personality with a uniqueness that fits her. Morgan plays the rock star with that confidence that he can give, yet he adds that edgy vulnerability so it's easy to love him. I love this team and look forward to more of them together.

Clutch

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very easy listen. Silas and Pansy found each other in part of their most chaotic and unsure time of life. In the process of finding each other, they also found their selves along the way. If you enjoy classic romance with a dash of Rockstar then I suggest you give this book a listen.
