Excellent insight into the machinations of being a singer-songwriter signed by a label. Things are not always as good as we thought they were going to be. Great characterizations. This reader could really `feel`` the turmoil the main male character`s emotions are in. He has a lot of depth and is just starting to let us in to see who he really is besides his stage persona. The main female character has some self-esteem issues that rose up from bullying in school. There are a number of sub-plots b

Big rock star and not making the best choices. His record label has had enough. But deep down Jasper really isn't happy. He cannot play the music that he wants. Only the music his label tells him to play. It was so much easier playing in the dive bars. Fame and money are great but at what cost? People would trade places with him in a minute but then again when they see what he has to give up would they do it?
Hailey is the PR person whose job is to make all the bad publicity go away. Two minutes ...more

First of all I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this first part of the story. I'm a sucker for these rock star romances. I loved how different they were. I liked Tara because she was nothing like most girls and she took pride in that. I thought it was cool that Jasper wasn't anything like you would expect. However, it sucked that he had to hide it. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next part of their story. ...more

This is the first book from this author that I have read and really loved it. It was a fast paced, fun and refreshing story. It is a cliff hanger which I didn't know when I started the book but I did enjoy it from the first page till the last. I am looking forward to the next one.

I didn't have much expectations when I started to listen this audiobook, but I'm glad to be wrong! The story itself is not mindblowing, but it's cute and solid, with a lot of heart. I like the way their relationship progressed and, how they meet and how they get together, it was believable and heart wrenching sometimes.
Laurie West is a great voice actress. I usually have a hard time imagining a guy when a female actress is doing it, but Laurie West pull it off beautifully! ...more

I have a bad feeling where this journey is going to be honest – I liked the Blurb and started reading but already during the first pages I got the feeling that I would be having an issue here.
The characters were lacking depth and were simply acting immature (to be honest they were acting simply stupid) the dialogues were on the level of High School and so predictable that it almost hurt.
But I was thinking I will finish this because at some point this will have to get better – right ? – now the b ...more
I received this audiobook free for an honest review. This author does a great job of telling a story and making the characters come to life. Hailey has a daunting task to clean up a Rock Star's image. Jasper's image is far different from his real character. A relationship between Hailey and her client, Jasper, is not allowed in her PR position. In comes many temptations for both of them. Those temptations put a wedge between them. Looking forward to the next book. The narrator does a great job w

It’s been a while since I have read anything by Clarissa Carlyle, she is such a talented author and I always know that as soon as I start reading anything by her that I will just fall in love with it. She never disappoints and I will always recommend her books to anyone that hasn’t read her work. Clarissa is one of the very first authors that I actually started reading her work when I first became a blogger and with every book that I have read of hers she hasn’t disappointed me, her talent for w

Jasper is the lead singer of the rock band Weeds; sex symbol, man-whore, sell-out. Hailey is a low level PR assistant; a sweet, smart girl, but lacking in self-confidence. Hailey is assigned to restore his public image after disasterous publicity damages Jasper's brand and hurts his career. She has her work cut out for her. At first glance, they have little in common, but Hailey senses the real Jasper underneath his bad-boy rock persona. He feels more himself when with her. They spend time toget

Mediocre writing. Writing was matter matter of fact. Very little feeling. Did not read smoothly - amateurish.
Rock star's "girlfriend" takes pictures of them naked and shares them on social media. Jasper hires the PR group that heroine works at to help him with his image since he is losing sponsors, etc.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and I was hooked up in the story right away.

That's when Hailey show up and help him with his social media. Jasper takes Hailey to places he likes in NY to make her see that he's not the bad rocker everyone thinks he is and Hailey often sees right through the role he's playing. I rea

I could imagine this being a book that would be perfect as a holiday read.
When I first saw the cover I thought this was going to be a very racy, steamy read.
Don't judge this book by the cover.....there is so much more to this book than what the cover implies. A good storyline and good characters, with more depth than just folk with pretty faces and a hot bodies. No spoilers given here but I'm definitely twitchy with impatience waiting for book 2 to come out !!

This is the first in a series and the cliffhanger differently makes you want to read the next book. The book is about Jasper, the rock star, and Hailey, the PR lady. The two of them have a stark when they first meet. It’s Hailey’s job to put Jasper’s image back to the good after a one night stand costed him a lot. The one night stand with Tara wasn’t what he expected when she posts pictures of them doing the nasty. So as Hailey is trying to repair his reputation she’s having feelings for him as

This is my first Clarissa Carlyle book I have read and I really enjoyed her style of writing. The story ended on a cliff hanger so I will be eagerly awaiting the next part of this Rock Star story. You do not want to like the Rock Star Jasper and his bad boy life style but as you read you start to change your opinion of him and see the real person behind the Rock Star band life.

ARC Review
**I voluntarily received an Advance Reader Copy of this book.**
You could not have a bad boy rock star and not have a scandal. This rock star is in the middle of a doosey. His PR rep is going to do every she can to clean up his image.
Sparks fly, and work starts to become personal, but this is PR rep that not going to mix work with pleasure.
This is the beginning of a very sweet romance. A great story with a gripping cliffhanger for an ending.

This is my first Clarissa Carlyle book, but not my last by any means. This book is a really good start to a new rock star series and I am so happy to be able to read it from the very beginning. Yes, this book does end on a cliffhanger but those don't really bother me as long as the characters and plot of the story are flowing well. And this book does all that. I am excited to read book 2 and see where this all goes. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

HOW...
How to clean up Jasper, a bad boy rocker, in 10 days???...I made up the 10 ;-) ... Is it even possible? Hailey needs to try if she wants to be taken seriously and earn a promotion! But Jasper is making it difficult to say the least.
Great start to the new series and the edgie cliffhanger will definitely make you want to come back for more!

more a novella than a novel
I enjoyed reading Managed 1 although it didn't hold me completely. I kept having moments of thinking I was reading Harry Styles fan fic. There was just something that didnt work for me. However it's well written and haa a good writing structure. Nice characters but more a novella than a novel. ...more

I love how this story is more about how famous people are just like everyday people. It's sweet reading about two people who are so similar in personality and they don't seem to realize it. This is a really great quick read and I can't wait to find out more between Jasper and Hailey especially after that ending.

This is the 1st book in the series.
Hailey works as a PR firm Big Deal and has just received her 1st assignment. Jasper is a rock star with a bad reputation. This is a great first book for the series, great characters and a great lead for the remainder of the series.

So... this finishes on a cliff-hanger. So far this author has a fair amount of taken but no editing skills. Character starts the scene in wearing one outfit and ends it in another. There are no marker for time of day or night that a scene plays out and the layout is so odd. Let’s see whether anything has been learnt by book 2
