Fade into You
Series: Shaken Dirty #3
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Author: Tracy Wolff
Release Date: February 15, 2016

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…

She’s one addiction he can’t resist.

Wyatt Jennings has been called a lot of things by the media. Bad-boy rocker. Intense drummer. Addict.

Finally out of rehab and desperate for a fresh start, Wyatt rejoins his mega-platinum rock band Shaken Dirty as they prepare for their world tour. But Wyatt’s demons are never far behind, always nipping at his heels for one. More. Fix.

Enter Poppy Germaine, the band’s new social media consultant. A beautiful bombshell who somehow manages to get underneath Wyatt’s skin, Poppy’s an addiction Wyatt can get behind. And even though she’s with the label—and therefore off-limits—he craves her. Needs her.

Except Poppy isn’t actually a social media consultant. She’s the daughter of the label’s CEO, sent undercover to babysit Wyatt and keep him from falling off the wagon again. Proving herself to her father is Poppy’s only goal—until she finds herself in Wyatt’s bed. But if Wyatt discovers the truth, it could send him spiraling all over again…

Poppy was something new. Something desperate and dangerous and all-consuming that clawed at his insides a little more with each second that passed.

Now it’s been a hot minute since I read Drive Me Crazy. Two years since to be precise. Clearly I remember…pretty much nothing from the book because I have the memory of…what memory? But the one thing that I do remember? Exactly how much I wanted Wyatt’s book. So I guess what I’m trying to tell you readers that haven’t discovered this fantastic series yet, is each book is easily read as a standalone. But you’re not going to want to miss out on the first two books in this series because while I don’t remember the details, I do know that I absolutely loved them. So much so that I can say this is my favorite series by this author.

Now as much as I loved the previous two books, it’s safe to say that this one was my favorite in the series. I love Brazens for their steamy and entertaining fix, but when an author can pack in some depth into the mix? WINNING.

In his story, he’s the villain, and there’s not a damn thing any of us can do to convince him otherwise.

Wyatt is the drummer for Shaken Dirty…and a drug addict. After coming out of his third stint of rehab, he’s determined to make it stick but his demons aren’t so easily silenced. The band stands behind him 100% but that doesn’t mean he believes he’s earned their devotion. He may not have slept with his friend and bandmate’s fiancé like their bassist to warrant getting booted from the band, but he thinks his drug addiction just may lead to that sooner rather than later.

Poppy Germaine lives for Rock. She lives and breathes music. Her father is the CEO of Shaken Dirty’s label, but her father’s archaic beliefs of a woman’s place not being anywhere near the business end of things keeps her from doing what she truly loves. Desperate to prove herself she allows her twin to talk her into working as the band’s new social media consultant and keep an eye on Wyatt to make sure he doesn’t fall off the wagon again. But before she can even introduce herself to the band, a passionate encounter with a stranger in the dark alley behind a club turns out to be something much more when the stranger is Wyatt…

He wasn’t sure what it said about him that, despite everything going on, watching her get all worked up was turning him on. Then again, from the moment he’d first laid eyes on her, everything about this woman had made him hot.”

Fade Into You is a super sexy read, but it’s much more than just steam. The author does a fantastic job painting a character that’s truly suffering with his addiction. Wyatt doesn’t have a quick fix with his rehab. He was a heroin addict and that haunts him along with the past that led him to seek drugs as his solace. I loved his vulnerability and the way that Poppy took care of him and offered him strength and support. I loved watching him open up to her little by little and seeing the true depth of him as a man.

He opened to her because he had to, because he couldn’t not let her in when she was holding him so carefully. Kissing him so tenderly. Making him feel so much—and so good—when earlier all he’d wanted was to be numb.”

Poppy was a wonderful heroine. There was nothing pushy or dismissive about her. She truly got Wyatt. She wanted him for who he was and supported him for who he is. I loved her silent strength. As for Wyatt and Poppy together? Absolutely explosive! They were practically scorching!

Of course you get more of the rest of the Shaken Dirty gang, which was great! I loved catching up with my previous favorite characters. Fade into You was a perfect blend of emotional and steamy entertainment. And I absolutely loved the ending. I did wish for perhaps a little epilogue to know what happened with Poppy’s father and the label, but I suppose we may get those answers in the next book.
