Sometimes, I just browse Kindle Unlimited and click on whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. And even though I usually stay away from rock star romances (In fact, I'm not a huge fan of celebrity romances), I couldn't resist this book because the blurb looked good and I was intrigued.

Listen. I finished this book in a day. I could not put it down. While the ending made me crazy happy, I was also bereft because I would have read about these two for 500 more pages. 1,000 more pages. My God, this was good. 5 Stars.

The book is a gay romance between an American rock star and a Korean idol: Hamartia by Scarlett Drake. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTDWTBHH/

I told Lia about it, because I know Lia and I know it's her jam. She also finished it in a day and loved it. It's sexy, it's romantic, and I'll let you cast your own character inspirations. Let's just say the Kpop idol, Jaehyun, reminded me a lot of an idol that rhymes with Shimin. LOL.

And because we have this ol' podcast, I reached out to the author who said she'd be delighted to talk about the book for a podcast episode. So we will be interviewing her for the pod coming up. I thought I'd give you all a heads up if you want to read this book beforehand.

Let's be clear, this is SEXY. The sex is between two men. It's graphic. And it's HOT. And the story is also romantic and lovely and sweet and made me melt. I would say the only trigger warning is for some homophobic language that is addressed on page. Anyway, if this is also your jam, go forth and read some great sexy romance :D
