From
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes
a new story in her Stage Dive series.
There’s always the one that got away. Or kicked you out...
The new darling of rock n’ roll, Adam Dillon, is ready to show his
ex-girlfriend, Jill Schwartz, what a mistake she made kicking him to the curb.
So maybe he wasn’t the best of boyfriends. Writing great songs and climbing to
the top of the charts isn’t easy. Only problem is, he's fast finding out that
success isn't everything.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s
an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the
author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

“No,” said the bodyguard.
“But—”
“Miss, do you have any idea how many people try to get backstage by claiming they have some sort of relationship with Mr. Dillon?” Face a careful blank, the man in the slick black suit stared down at me. He had a point. I’d pushed through a crush of fans, getting my toes stomped on several times, along with taking an elbow to the kidney, just to talk to this guy. God only knew what it took to get near the star of the show.
“I’d imagine a lot,” I yelled back at him. Necessary given the volume of the music filling the space. “The difference here is I’m not lying.”
“But since everyone says that, you can see from my perspective how that’s not actually a point of difference.”
Adam Dillon, rock star extraordinaire, gyrated his slim denim-clad hips like an Alt-Rock Elvis on the nearby stage. He pouted and crooned about the woman who’d done him wrong. Me. That’s right, I was the big bad ex who’d broken him and woke him to the dangers of love. Or so the song said.
The song lied and then some.
According to the lyrics he was currently wailing, I’d ground his heart beneath my five-inch heels before blowing him a kiss goodbye. From memory, there’d been a lot of shouting, but no blowing of kisses. And having just kicked off the flats I wore for work, I’d been barefoot, my legs and back aching. No way had I been strutting around in stilettos. Home from a hard day at the hair salon, I’d returned to find Adam on the couch. The same place he’d been when I’d left for work approximately eleven hours earlier. The same place he’d been for what felt like months as I worked my ass off to pay the rent. That’s when all hell broke loose. However, it wasn’t the only issue that had caused our relationship to bomb. Nothing’s ever simple.
But back to the here and now. I grabbed the slip of paper out of my front pocket, holding it up for his perusal. “My name is Jill Schwartz. How many of those people claiming to know him have one of these?”
His eyes widened as he scanned the name on the check, before widening again at the amount. And fair enough too. I’d had a mild panic attack myself when it had first arrived. When Adam decided to make a statement, he didn’t bother with subtle. If only I could figure out what it all meant. If it meant anything at all, of course. And that question was what had brought me here tonight.

This is the third 1001 Dark Nights book from this series – and it is another
very enjoyable novella to add to the Stage Dive collection. By dealing with a
second-chance romance, it is easy to accept the speed at which the relationship
can develop. It was great to see the band and their successes in life and love,
and Adam also took the chance to right a wrong and get a happily ever after
that he really wanted.
Jill was an incredibly supportive girlfriend, until she had had enough and
kicked Adam out. Now he is a very successful rock star, and most of his songs
talk about his split from Jill, but with a completely different take on the
truth of its ending. This is such a brilliant set up for a second-chance
romance, and I love how it starts with her determined to talk to him after a
concert.
As the story develops, and Jill gets to meet the band and Adam really shows how
he has changed, we must all hope that she is prepared to give him credit for
some of the new Adam that he is showing her. It is in direct contradiction to
the change in his circumstances, which actually means that he could lie around
and expect others to do everything for him.
Fun and sexy read – enjoy!

Love Song is a second-chance love story within the Stage Dive series in
the 1001 Dark Nights collection. It's a quick-read novella but you get a
glimpse of Mal and Jimmy and their wives, which is always a plus.
Adam Dillion has finally made it in the rock star world. Most of his songs are
about his ex, Jill. They had a blow up of a breakup and haven't talked in a
year, until Jill shows up in Adam's SUV after a show to discuss why he sent her
a seven-figure check. He thinks he owes her; she wants to know why.
The chemistry is hot right from the start. Being alone with Adam is a terrible
idea but Jill came for answers and doesn't want to leave until she has them.
Even if that means confronting the feelings she thought she was long over.
Love Song is a quick read but is packed with sexy, sweet moments. l
would love a full-length novel of this couple. But I can't ever be sad with
small glimpses of Mal!
