Book Review! Tapped by the Rockstar by Christina Hovland




Tapped by the Rockstar (Mile High Rocked #4) by Christina Hovland
Genre: Adult Fiction (Contemporary Romance)
Date Published: January 1, 2023
Publisher: Self

Internet fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

As a teenager Samantha Johnson wrote a song that went viral in all the wrong ways. A pop song about her love of mozzarella sticks. She hoped for adoration but instead became a joke for an entire generation. She absolutely does not want to be in the limelight ever again. Or even near it. Since then, she's kept mostly to herself. But then she gets set up with a guy who turns out to be a rock star, and she risks the spotlight falling on her once more.

Dimefront’s awkward drummer, Tanner Penton, never expected to live the rock star life. Even though he's living the dream, he's still fighting his past and the hurt caused by young love. He’d like to figure out how to actually speak to women without getting tongue tied. Unfortunately, his friends covertly fix him up with a woman he can't form a coherent syllable around. He gets flustered, his face heats, and... it's a whole thing.

Tanner must learn how to be authentically himself with Sam if he's going to make this last. And Sam must put the past behind her to figure out if she wants to embrace fame and the man she's falling for or walk away for good.


Tapped by the Rockstar is the fourth book in the Mike High Rocked series by Christina Hovland. This is Tanner & Sam’s story. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what the fuss was about with Sam’s ‘viral video’ from so many years ago. She was a child. Most of that stuff of long forgotten by now, and people are on to the next thing to make fun of. That being said, I understand her being traumatized as a kid about it, by to still have people avidly searching for her was odd. Anyway, i loved their story. Tanner comes off pretty innocent, even though we all know he’s not. I liked his boy next door personality. Sam too… she has an innocence to her. I guess that’s one of the reasons they’re so cute together. I enjoyed getting to know them, and of course loved reuniting with the band and their ladies too. This is a fun series!

Release Day Review! Knocked Up by the Rockstar by Christina Hovland





Knocked Up by the Rockstar (Mile High Rocked #2) by Christina Hovland
Genre: Adult Fiction (Contemporary Romance)
Date Published: December 10th 2021
Publisher: Self

The only thing music publicist Courtney Lincoln dislikes more than knock-off sugary breakfast cereal is Dimefront’s lead singer—Brennan “Bax” Baxter. So when she discovers she’s pregnant following one teeny, tiny, mind-blowing morning with her nemesis, her world tumbles upside down.

Dimefront is on the rocks. Again. Bax is ready to move on. But following the implosion of his engagement, he makes a slip-up that ties him to Courtney as unlikely co-parents. He doesn’t like Courtney. Doesn’t care for how she’s able to see straight through the façade he’s painstakingly curated. But he’s always wanted a family and he’s being offered that chance.

Now the band is mending fences, there’s a baby on the way, and feelings start getting tangled. Maybe Bax isn’t really such a jerk? Perhaps Courtney could be the woman of his dreams? Or, maybe, just maybe, they were right all along…

Knocked Up by the Rockstar is the second book in the Mile High Rocked series by Christina Hovland. Stories like this are so much fun to read, because you have these people who grew up together, so they know each other's crap inside and out. So, even when you have Mister Rockstar with his Rockstar attitude, Courtney knows who he really is. Or she thought he did. Maybe the Rockstar persona has fully taken over. I liked that aspect of it too... the whole 2 sets of personalities: Bax vs Brennan. Their issues were pretty believable to their situation too with their insecurities and baggage. It was real... fictionally speaking of course. I haven't read the previous book in this series yet, but I want to. That's another perk about the books I've read by this author. I end up reading them out of order, but they stand alone just fine. I look forward to reading more!
