Lily Pearce has no love for the entertainment world. She
grew up in it with an actress mother and her father who
does tributes to Frank Sinatra. Much worse is the fact that
her brother Eugene got caught up in the hard world of rock-
n-roll and ends up in rehab, again. That's why she's a
paramedic; she wants nothing to do with that world ...
besides the fact that she can't carry a tune if her life
depended on it. That's how she feels until he walks into
the room and a big part of her wanted to stand up and say
LEAD ME ON, but he's in a world she wants nothing to do
with.
Samuel Gibson is one of the members of the Nick Blackthorne
band. With Nick retired they are trying to find a
replacement for him and revamp the band with the new name
Synergy. He's lived the life of a rocker to the hilt and
accepted the reputation as part of the gig. He did it
partly to spite his parents, the doctor father and
politician mother, but mostly because he loves music. The
life is starting to get to him and especially hits him when
he walks in to meet a possible replacement singer and there
sits the most fascinating woman he's met in a long time ...
if ever. Very quickly he realizes that he hasn't a chance
in hell of getting to know Lily, unless he can make her
believe that what the world says about him and the truth
are two different things. It may be more than even a
heartfelt song can bring about but he has to try ... because
his heart is completely involved.
LEAD ME ON brings readers into the complicated and
sometimes not very pretty world of entertainment. Lily has
her reasons for blaming that world on her family's troubles
and Sam just loves the music and has dealt with the
reputation that comes with his style of music. Until Lily.
I thoroughly enjoyed this look at entertainment, with the
paparazzi and all the pitfalls from both sides and was glad
when both parties let their hearts lead the way. The
couple's completely diverse backgrounds really made this
book and it was very entertaining to watch them, especially
Lily, fight her desire for the sexy bad boy. The other band
members and her brother added a variety of personalities
that could have come right out of the tabloids.

SUMMARY
He may rock her world, but she will shake him to his soul. Heart of Fame, Book 5 Brooding. Arrogant. Narcissistic. Rock legend Samuel Gibson
has worn all these labels—and he’s in no hurry to drop them.
Until he meets Lily Pearce, whose brother would be the
perfect new singer for the band. There’s an allure beneath
Lily’s prickly demeanor that makes Samuel wonder if it’s
time to correct some of the misconceptions trailing behind
him like a mile of bad microphone cord. After watching her brother get chewed up and spit out, Lily
has no love for the hedonistic world of rock ’n’ roll, or
anyone in it. Yet her own body betrays her with an instantly
sizzling sexual attraction to the very symbol of everything
she hates about that lifestyle—Samuel Gibson. Things heat up and Lily’s heart is on the line once she
starts to catch glimpses of the man beneath the reputation.
But can she reconcile her feeling for Samuel with everything
she knows his world to be? Warning: Be prepared for sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. As
well as molten, relentless seduction. And heartbreak.
Because rock stars rarely play by the rules.
