Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail. I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull—but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous. When she laughed—and I mean, really laughed—I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers. At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks.” Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence. I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan. I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do. Smitten is an all-new standalone friends to lovers romance!       About the Author: Lauren Rowe is the USA Today and international #1 best-selling author of newly released Reed Rivers Trilogy, as well as The Club Trilogy, The Josh & Kat Trilogy, The Morgan Brothers Series, Countdown to Killing Kurtis, and select standalone Misadventures.

My Review

5 Stars

SMITTEN by Lauren Rowe is the story of Matthew 'Fish' and Alessandra 'Ally'.
Matthew was the skinny kid with no confidence who now is in a successful band who doesn't realize his true sex appeal now that he is grown. Matthew is the joker with his group, but he is a very successful part of the band.  But when he meets Alessandra he is 'Smitten'.  Alessandra is somewhat shy but she loves the band which leads her to Matthew.  They both really grow within themselves with their budding friendship that leads them into more.  This book had you go through some emotions but it kept me turning those pages.  Loved it.
