Sex, Alcohol, and Rock N Roll!! Oh, and did I mention, sex? BACKSTAGE PASS is an erotic foray into the behind the scenes world of a heavy metal band. Myrna Evans, professor of psychology specializing in human sexuality, stumbles upon the members of Sinners, drunk and not quite disorderly, in a hotel bar. As a fan, she is immediately drawn to Brain "Master" Sinclair, awesome lead guitarist. She wonders if those hands are as magical in the bedroom as they are on stage. It doesn't take her long to figure out the answer is a resounding yes. In the process, Myrna becomes his muse and a genuine relationship starts to form.

Olivia Cunning has created intriguing characters and a Rock N Roll world that feels genuine. The band behaves as you would expect— a lot earthly, a little raunchy, and very sexy. The sex is frequent, explicit, and creative. This book is not for the faint of heart, but fans of erotica will find it entertaining. The only discordant note is a minor subplot involving Myrna's abusive ex-husband who made her feel "dirty" because of her sexuality. I thought the conflict was unnecessary and pulled the reader out of the Rock N Roll fantasy. The story is at its best when it focuses on a woman testing the boundaries of her sexuality while trying to build a relationship with a touring rock star.
