Authors: Amber Lin, Shari Slade
Release Date: November 6th 2014
Synopsis
Half-Life bassist Krist Mellas is caught in a PR nightmare after his dirty sex video blew up online. His agent has the solution: a fake engagement with sultry pop princess Madeline Fox. Krist can’t think of anything worse than a charade with the bubblegum bombshell…except losing the band.
Madeline knows better than anyone what it means to live a lie in the spotlight. She’s determined to help Krist without ever letting him find out what it costs her—or about her girlhood crush on him. But after a smoking hot back alley encounter with him leaves her breathless, she can’t deny she wants the snarling bad-boy rocker.
In a world of glitter and diamonds where the kisses are fake but the climaxes are real, their facades start to crack. And the publicity storm may shatter them both.
WARNING: This book contains a scorching threesome, a dirty talking pop princess, and a surly rocker who hits all the right notes.

3 stars
A collision of worlds- fake and real, pretty and glittery and dark and raw- the demolition of inhibitions and the understanding of what it is to be truly broken.
We are given two strong lead characters that are both emotional messes. Krist Mellas is the bass player and vocalist for Half-life. Madeline Fox is a teenage pop princess.
When Madeline and Krist get together the atmosphere sizzles. Maddy and Krist have this explosive chemistry and it only gets steamier when they are thrust upon each other due to circumstances that they created. Each one trying to escape- Maddy from her virginal, pop star princess status and Krist from his painful, loveless past, and his now, world wide sex tape.
Maddy and Krist are two faces of the same coin. Both of them have tarnished images, and not the good kind that sells records. But, one created it on purpose and the other through lust. Exploited due to his sexual preference, Amber Lin and Shari Slade, combine a lovely novella show casing the taboo topic of sexuality and societal biases. Perception is a powerful word. And it unleashes its full potential in this book.
One Kiss With A Rock Star is filled with sex. Sex here there and everywhere. One will definitely think its on overload. Yet, in reading and I mean truly reading between the lines, we'll see that both characters are sexual predators. Predator, in that they both hunt for the feeling of emotion, hunters against loneliness, and yet preys to themselves.
“I don’t know what’s real anymore, but I’m not sure I care. When I’m touching you, it’s the only time I don’t feel like I’m drowning.” – Krist
