About Getting Played (Heart Of Fame #7) by Lexxie Couper:
After yet another month without a lead singer, the band Synergy is on the verge of calling it quits. Which drives Jaxon Campbell, keyboardist and perpetual player, to do something dangerous—hit up a woman with contacts—and curves—in all the right places. Trouble is, the last time he saw her, he kind of broke her heart. And stole her cherished, autographed AC/DC album.
Natalie Thorton, Dean of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, knows everyone who’s anyone in Australia’s music industry. She’s driven and utterly professional and doesn’t have room in her schedule for relationships.
When Jaxon strides into her office, all of Natalie’s suppressed sexual urges—the ones born in Jax’s arms—surge to the surface. He wants something from her? Well, she wants something from him. Orgasms. Lots of them.
How can Jax say no? He’s never forgotten her, and it’s not like they’re going to fall in love. But just who’s playing who? And whose heart is going to fall first?
Warning: Contains a sexual challenge involving sex in public places, sex in private places, sex in moving cars, sex against windows and sex in the company of an oblivious federal politician. So basically, we’re talking about getting laid. A lot.

#5 Lead Me On
Excerpt:
“I’ll find you a replacement for Nick Blackthorne,” Nat said, her voice a raspy, rapid breath. It was as if she was having some surreal, out-of-body experience, except she suspected it was actually her body in charge of her brain and mouth and tongue and voice box. Her body, after all, had never forgotten what sex with Jax was like. And never forgave her for denying it more. “On the condition you give me—”
“Sex?” he cut her off, lips twitching.
Nat’s pussy pulsed. Her nipples pinched tight. Her belly fluttered. Damn, there was no backing out of this lunacy now. Now, all she could do was take the upper hand, take charge of the situation and make him suffer. And by suffer, she meant make him make her come more times than she could ever hope to count.
The way he used to.
“Not just sex, Jaxon,” she corrected, her brain slowly catching up with her body’s licentious intent. If she was doing this—and it appeared she was—she was doing it big. The bastard had stolen her AC/DC album, after all. It was high time she got something back. “Mind-blowing, earth-shattering sex. Let’s call them a series of sexual challenges, shall we? For each challenge you achieve, I’ll introduce you to a possible candidate to replace Blackthorne.”
Jax studied her, his expression ambiguous. But there, in his eyes, was that promise. It made her sex constrict and her breath quicken.
Nat sucked in a slow breath. Damn, this was a risky move. But if she played it right, kept her heart protected, the payoff would be amazing. The best sex of her life with the only man who had ever truly satisfied her. She’d come dangerously close to falling in love with him all those years ago. It had only been a stubborn sense of self-preservation that had saved her, but she was older now, wiser, more jaded about romance. She didn’t want romance from Jax. She wanted sex. And he’d just presented her with the perfect way to get it.
Unattached, no-strings, make-him-suffer sex.
She bit back a soft whimper at the unnerving, enticing thought and cocked an eyebrow at Jax. Who she noticed hadn’t uttered a word since sex. “Well?” she said, leaning closer to him, heart fast, lips curling. “You said you’d make it worth my while.”
“Deal.”
About Lexxie Couper:Lexxie Couper started writing when she was six and hasn’t stopped since. She’s not a deviant, but she does have a deviant’s imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get erotic romances that can make you laugh, cry, shake with fear or tremble with desire. Sometimes all at once.
When she’s not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie’s life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she’s insane, a indoor cat who likes to stalk shadows, and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever.
Having no idea how old she really is, Lexxie decided to go with 27 and has been that age for quite some time now. It’s the best of both worlds – old enough to act mature, young enough to be silly.
Lexxie lives by two simple rules – measure your success not by how much money you have, but by how often you laugh, and always try everything at least once. As a consequence, she’s laughed her way through many an eyebrow raising adventure.
3 'Boxhead' stars
A laugh out loud contemporary read.
Meet Jaxon Campbell, womanizing, self absorbed, playboy, keyboardist and cocky as hell Rock Star. Jax's band, Synergy, is looking for a lead singer and the only person that can help him out of this bind is non other than, ex-girlfriend, Natalie Thorton.
Natalie Thorton, Dean of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, former lover and frequent participant in Jax's exhibitionist sexual tendencies. A strong willed woman of sophistication that knows when to say enough is enough. She ended their relationship at twenty-one, after a tabloid exposed not only Nat and Jax's exhibitionism on a hotel roof-top, but also his sexual prowess and exploits with various other women.
Twenty-one years later, both into their forties, there first encounter leads them into a tailspin of expected and deviant sexual pleasures.
Nat, remembers it all. All her past sexual exploits. The only man to ever give her multiple orgasms. The only man she has ever loved and broken her heart. Not to mention he stole her AC/DC Back in Black Album. Unforgivable!
Wanting to get back at Jax and getting a chance to re-live and fulfill her own baser needs. Nat devises a plan of sexual challenges, to gain control over a situation she actually has no control over.Nat tries hard to pretend this is just a simple pleasurable no strings attached game, but her games, turns the tables on them both.
Not only does Nat and Jax experience the best sex of both their lives, they have fun whilst socializing among the masses.
I truly enjoyed all the pent up frustration and the verbal sparring and the childish banter that Jax, kept spewing in an attempt to persuade Natalie to go along with whatever hair brained idea he has at the spur of the moment.
"Say yes, Boxhead," he said
"If I don't?"
"I'll turn up at your office tomorrow with an aerosol can of whipped cream while wearing nothing but a pair of leather pants. I can do that. I'm a rock star."
*******
" Back off, buddy, before I break your face."
"You thought I was going to lick your boobs, didn't you?"
"Take me home, Campbell."
"Gladly. There's fucking against my window to be done. Naked fucking."
*******
It was refreshing watching two strong and self assured individuals both indulge in each other and still trying to figure out where they both fit into each others lives.
"Three things are about to happen, Boxhead,"
"You're going to strip yourself naked of your clothes, I'm going to retrieve a condom from the bathroom and then I'm going to fuck your brains out."
This was an enjoyable read, it however, lacked the appeal of the Rock Star lifestyle and I barely got an emotional connection with the characters.
My thoughts on Jax's entry into the story was
