As the first in a new series, this book has the challenge of introducing a whole new set of characters while also moving readers slightly outside the Corps Security world. Jaded Hearts is the first book of the series, but Chance was introduced in Hope Town as a member of Corps Security and Cohen's former roommate. In my head there should have been a closer tie to Corps, but as Chance was a fairly new member of the team there, that thinking was all on me. Though there is a security threat as one aspect of the plot, it quickly moved to the background of Chance and Wrenlee's lives and almost became an afterthought until the very end. 
 Chance is holding on to insecurities left behind from an ex and the time he let down his guard and Dani was in danger as a result. But despite his fears, he is so sweet, so good, so strong. He stepped in immediately and took charge of the situation surrounding Wrenlee's safety even before he was hired to do the job. Protection is in his blood. 
 Wrenlee, her brother, and her bandmates have been touring and recording non-stop for four years. She loves the music and her boys protect her from worries so she can focus on what she loves. But five albums later, she is having a hard time remembering why she loves the music so much, as there is no time to breathe, let alone relax in the demanding schedule Loaded Replay keeps. When the band feels her safety is in jeopardy, they look to hire outside security to keep her safe. 
 As a fake relationship forms to cover up the need for security, Wrenlee and Chance both realize they like having the other around. Wrenlee has never had anyone but her band around her, and finds it hard to let new people in, not knowing who to trust. Chance also doesn't trust based on his own past, and these two fumble around not knowing if what they have is real or just what the media is portraying. I loved watching their reactions as the media spun their relationship further and faster, even as they tried to keep things level-headed when out of the public eye. 
 But though they tried to keep things from escalating beyond the physical spark that sizzled between them, the fire burned hot. There were a few physical scenes that didn't quite work for me, but the chemistry was definitely there. These two don't know what to do when the fake relationship starts to feel a lot like something real. 
 I really enjoyed getting to know Wrenlee and her bandmates. They should make for interesting characters in their own stories as we get to know more about them. The dynamic between the four bandmembers is familial, though only Wrenlee and Weston are actually related. Their similar childhoods and love of music tied them together in a way that blood can't make closer. I look forward to Weston's story next, and learning a little more about flirty Jamison, and level headed Luke. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
