Final book in the Billionaire's Muse series. Can be read standalone.
No pretty boy face could tempt me to repeat my mother’s mistakes. Why would I want to? I don’t need a man to be satisfied with my life. I’m a college grad who’s just gotten hired by a prestigious PR firm. My future is looking bright.

But then that idiot rock star went and made a fool of himself, leaving me to clean up his mess.


When Paige Ryce is sent on her first solo assignment, she’s more than a little annoyed that she’ll be repairing the image of the music industry’s latest bad boy, Reb Union. She tells herself that she can be professional, but she soon learns that Reb can get under her skin like no one else.

Will her prejudices about his profession and the secrets of his past, keep them apart or will she help him find his music again?

This is a fantastic contemporary romance by M.S. Parker called Damage Control. This is last book in the series The Billionaire’s Muse and it can be read as a standalone. The previous characters do appear in this book and actually the all show up in every book. Each book is about a different couple and this book’s couple is Reb and Paige.
Paige is a PR person and she has been assigned to Reb who is a rockstar. He needs help rebranding/re-doing his image since his breakup with his ex. Paige has some bad thoughts about rockstars in general so she has to put her personal feelings aside on rockstars( due to her past and her father) to help Reb since he is her client . Reb has gone downhill since his breakup, to the point he can’t even write and has no drive to do anything for his career. His muse , which used to be his ex, is now gone and he doesn’t know if he can ever be that rocker anyone without a muse. Enter into his life comes Paige --- She is that light, that connection that was missing. They are sizzling hot together –But will the past come between them? Will Paige let her past issues come between them or will they be able to overcome the past and get the HEA they deserve.
This was a great end to the series and the H/h was sweet. I liked seeing the past characters together and seeing them interact. The plot is fresh, the characters feel real and the secondary characters make the book have that added soul.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *****

I will leave you with just one thought about this story ... If you were in a room - full of people, full of drugs ... knowing that their intentions were not good and not wanting to participate in anything relating to their drugs .... Would you leave your open water bottle unattended on a desk while going to the toilet fully intending to drink the rest after returning ?

If music be the food of love... let’s eat!!

The last book of the Billionaire’s Muse (except the wedding of course) and we have finally gotten to meet the brooding rockstar. All we really know of Reb Union is that; he’s a rockstar that used to share a dorm room with fellow Billionaire Erik Sanders, he’s recently split from his unpopular girlfriend, Mitzi, he’s loaded, he’s gorgeous and he’s also into BDSM. Other than that, he’s a bit of a mystery.

We first meet Reb as he’s hot rock bottom. His girlfriend cheated on him, a fact that he discovered when he walked in on her with two of his roadies in his own apartment. Since then, his life has been in a downward spiral. He knows he didn’t love her and he wasn’t looking for a future with her, but she’d betrayed him and it hurt.

Being a rockstar, he was expected to be a bit of a bad boy, but he’d never fit that image before apart from the music he created and his tattoos. He didn’t drink to excess smoke or do drugs but since that fateful day, he has battled with demons the only way he knew how... drink and women. His friends could see it, but it wasn’t until he trashed his hotel room, had a drunken debauched threesome with two unknown women and then punched the son of a Senator at a charity function that everyone realised that an intervention was desperately needed before he lost everything.

Paige Ryce is a PR agent who despises the rock and roll scene. The daughter of a groupie and unknown rockstar that her mum bedded whilst following various bands around the country, he distaste for that lifestyle ran deep. Whilst her relationship with her mum was good... she couldn’t deny she’d had to watch her mother struggle without the support of Paige’s father. It wasn’t entirely her fathers fault... her mother wasn’t even entirely sure who he was, but she knew the lifestyle was not one she’d subject her daughter to.

With Reb’s future music career and reputation in tatters, Paige is hired by Reb’s manager to initiate some damage control. Despite her misgivings about rock musicians, when she meets Reb (even being intoxicated and lecherously far from charming) she can’t help but think that there is a good man beneath the drunken mess.

In her efforts to get him sober and thinking more clearly she gets to know more about the man behind the music and sets about improving his reputation and showing his fans that he’s not who the press portrayed him to be over the last few months. Tasking him with working in community groups and a veterans charity, she works on getting his public image back to the caring and generous man she can see.

Of course, this wouldn’t be an MS Parker book if there wasn’t a good dollop of spine tingling, eye popping sex... and if that’s what you read her books for, you won’t be too disappointed as inevitably Reb and Paige’s relationship becomes more than just professional. Their chemistry and attraction is magnetic and although a musician was the last person she thought she’d end up with, her heart can’t help but fall for the rockstar sex god!

And it wouldn’t be a good Erotic Romance book if there weren’t a few spammers thrown into the works in an attempt to derail them... but luckily Paige is savvy and smart enough to realise that her man is being set up. She trusts him and knows that he would never do anything to hurt her or further damage the career he has built.

Once again though... this book is far too short. There’s enough material and interest for the story to continue for at least a few more chapters... and like the other books in the series, it does feel a little rushed. I can’t help it. I want more!

I’m hoping that everything gets neatly tied up (bondage BDSM pun completely intended) in the last of the series. Looking forward to finishing it all off. Hopefully with a smile on my face.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
What can I say—M.S. Parker you did it again with another great story of the Billionaire’s Muse. This is a great story of Reb Union, the bad boy rock star, who has had a bad break up with his ex-girlfriend. Being out of control, Reb’s image is suffering as a rock star. A PR firm has been hired by his manager to help Reb repair his image and the person to help repair his image is Paige Ryce—recent college graduate who was sent on the assignment to help Reb. This book held my attention and was entertaining, but also was heartwarming and emotional. I enjoyed reading this story because it was full of emotional angst, scorching love scenes that burned through my iPad, and a compelling storyline. From the very first page, I was spellbound by these fantastically described characters that you will find yourself falling in love with. Paige finds herself quite attracted to Reb and the feeling is mutual with some sizzling chemistry that is off-the-chart hot! The scenes are well written, fast-paced and flow smoothly from one scene to the next. The story will also pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end. This is definitely a recommended read!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
When Reb Union, hot rock star, catches his girlfriend cheating on him, he finds himself in a downward spiral and unable to do what he loves most, write his music. After about three months of constant drinking and womanizing his manager hires a PR firm to repair his image.
Paige Ryce has just graduated from collage and has been handed her first solo job as a PR representative. Since she is not exactly a fan of rock musicians in general, she is anything but thrilled when she finds out that the job is to help change Reb's image from typical rock star back to the decent guy that he was before he hit rock bottom. And even though she is attracted to him, no matter how hard he tries, nothing is going to happen between them. Because she has her goals and a relationship is not part of them. Especially with a musician.
This is the final story in the Billionaire's Muse series and what a way to end it. I loved the way that Reb and Paige help each other overcome their pasts and find what they both thought was out of their reach.

She is hired to do damage control for his career. But really he needs a complete fix for his life which is spiraling down. Since they see each other there is instant attraction but she becomes exactly what he needs because she refuses to give in and please him. Now they will be working by her rules. Obviously with a bit of misbehaving on his part that makes each page a bit more steamy. While he helps her discover and explore herself, she becomes his muse because she decides to look deeper into who he is and what matters to him. She really shows him that she cares and that he has a lot to offer. And that is exactly what he needed to start enjoying and creating again. He needs new inspiration, new music and a chance. And even when things look awful, she is mature enough to give him that. He just needed the right person to point him in the right direction. Apart from the obvious entertaining chemistry it is a very special story because you will really enjoy his values and the gestures he makes to show them.

Sadly, this is the last book in the Billionaire's Muse series, but what a story!! Yay for a trip back to the Gilded Cage!!

Rockstar Reb has been a little drunk and very reckless since his girlfriend broke up with him. Funny thing is..he didn't love her but that didn't make it sting any less. So, he buried himself in booze and women to take his mind off the situation. Not only is he a hot rockstar but he's a Dom!

A PR rep (Paige) is hired to help him clean up his image. As she gets to cleaning up that image she develops fantasies about her and him. She tries oh so hard to ignore them, but they just keep creeping in her thoughts. She does have one little complication and Reb isn't sure he can handle it.

LOVED this story!! She was exactly what he needed! It was always nice that the same characters were in each book and we got to visit with them. Reading each book was like hanging out with friends that you haven't seen in a while!

Another great story this time with a Rock n' Roll Bad Boy theme. Paige is a PR assistant hired to improve Reb's image. Reb has hit rock bottom and needs all the help he can get. Paige is a bright, cautious woman who feels attracted to Reb but with her family history in the back of her mind, she fights her impulses and feelings.
"He looked down at me, his eyes blood-shot and half-focused, then gave me one of those far-too-charming grins that guys like him seemed to master in the cradle."
"What prompted a formerly almost-too-clean-for-a-rock-artist to suddenly go off the deep end?"
"Awake and aware of this new humming electricity that flowed between the two of us."
"I wanted to reach out and touch her, see how she'd respond, She was strong, stubborn, independent...all of the things that should have turned me off as a Dom.
Reading this M.S. Parker book is time well spent for this dedicated reader.

Damage Control (The Billionaire's Muse 4)

I love to read books with BDeSM. MS Parker is a master at writing these kinds of stories. But the thing is she has a real story. Something that means something. And adds erotica.
In REB's case he was really screwed over by a girlfriend he was getting into. She was sleeping with other guys in his bed. Of course he would have trouble coming back. But he did really sink. He did need to come back from it.
Paige was afraid to be around any man or date any man all because of her mother. Meeting Reb in the state he was in didn't really help. It was Paige that figured out why he was hurting so much. She really dug into him. And that allowed him to really be who he wanted to be...who he was.
I loved this book. Both of these characters were afraid of things but it was like they helped each other.
This one is definitely a MUST READ!

10/10+

This book is really amazing and I love the characters so much I loved watching all of the four men in this series grow even if they only played small guest roles in the other three. I also love the dynamic between Reb and Paige and what they overcome together. Since this was the last story in the series of individuals I wish there was a little more content and the last big twist needed just a little more content and time to build up all the supporting content. I do also wish there was more about what they did to get Reb out of the media craze caused by bad manager and crazy ex girlfriend scenario at the end.

Really enjoyed this the last part of this series. This is Reb and Paige’s story. Reb is a musician who is struggling to cope with his breakup and his drinking has got out of hand. His manager hires Paige a PR rep to help him fix his imagine. Paige doesn’t think much of musicians and their lifestyle but it’s her first assignment so she’s determined to succeed and prove herself. Reb and Paige have an instant attraction towards each other but as much as she tries to keep it professional, he keeps pushing and tempting her. Things get complicated between them when the boundaries are blurred. Lovely, short story.

This book was just amazing, it is the final book in the series, but the other books do not have to have been read in order to read this one (but if you love MS Parkers writing as much as I do then you will want to read the first two books).

This book is about Paige and Reb, Paige a PR rep and Reb your typical out of control rock star. Paige had one job and that was to clean up Reb's image to make sure his fans still love him, what was not part of her job was falling for him and helping him move on from his past.

Reb and Paige's story will give you all the feels, it was such an amazing ride to watch their relationship develop.

This book is a must read for sure

M.S. Parker always gives us a sinfully hot and sexy read. Always leaving us wanting to read till the very end.Often times falling in love with the characters wanting to know every detail of their lives. Damage Control is no different. It is a story about a girl Paige Ryce, a recent college graduate who is hired on by a well know PR firm. Her first big assignment is a cocky rockstar Rev Union. He seems to be out to make a total mess of his career. Will Paige be able to get his career back on track or is it doomed to fail permanently?
Fantabulous once again Ms. Parker. I highly recommend.

M.S. Parker has written a lot of books. I'm pretty sure I've read all of them. Each book is amazing on its own, but this series has quickly becoming my favorite series.
Each book is about a different couple and can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend reading these books and reading them in order as the stories interconnect.
Reb and Paige's story is the last of the series. Their chemistry is hot and you are drawn into their emotions.
The writing is amazing and the story flows seamlessly. Told in both Reb and Paige's POV.

The final book in the Billionaire's Muse series is here and once again we find a talented artist losing the drive, the faith and the trust of his own talent. Reb was always one of those talented, beautiful rockers but with a twist. He was bad-boyish without really, truly being a BAD boy unless you count his sexual leanings toward BDSM. In the public eye, he is just perfect until he begins to spiral. Is it a woman who has him losing it? Or is it more. Paige is sent to clean up his image but will she end up being his muse or his downfall?

Damage Control is about Paige & Reb! Paige is a PR Rep who is given the task of rebuilding Reb's broken image. Reb is a Rock Star who has lost his way personally and professionally after finding his girlfriend cheating on him! Paige is headstrong & smart, Reb is a broken man with nothing on his mind except finding his next distraction. Is she what he needs to find his way again? is he the one who can break down her walls?? Reb & Paige have such beautiful chemistry. They make an already captivating story even better!!

Finally Reb’s story and what a story it was. Reb has been crushed since his break up and desperately needs help. His manger hires a PR rep and that’s how he meets Paige. Paige knows how rockstars are and wants nothing to do with Reb except to keep it professional but that doesn’t last long. Paige is exactly want Reb needed and together they are explosive.

Reb seems to be on a one man mission to destroy his music career. His only hope is that Paige, a PR consultant, can work her magic and save him from himself.
The only problem is Paige has her own issues with "Rockstars"
Can she save Reb? Will the chemistry between them cause fireworks? Will Paige's issues surrounding her father cause problems.
A brilliant read. Last in the series. Can be read as a stand alone

I really enjoy this series and this is no exception. Reb is a rockstar on a downward spiral. When he meets Paige he is told she is assigned to help with his bad PR. I enjoyed this story as Reb figures out if he will accept Paige’s help. Paige must decide if she can cross the line from more than just an employee. I enjoyed as they both struggled with figuring out the fight path to a HEA. Loved their steamy chemistry and their faith they had in each other

Reb was the typical bad boy and I found myself rolling my eyes in the beginning but then as the story developed I fell in love with him and really enjoyed and became immersed in their story and found myself feeling all the emotions. Another well written story by M.S Parker. I really loved this series and would recommend it to everyone.

I stumbled upon this series and I’m so happy I did. It was great. You get to see bits and pieces of the previous books and kinda see how everyone is doing. Paige is set on being a workaholic and having so social life EVER. Reb is having a very difficult time after a breakup and is spiraling out of control. They have instant chemistry and it’s exciting and hot to watch it play out.

Great ending to amazing series.

I'm so glad Reb story was written this way. The mystery of him and the strong willed of Paige was a perfect match. The book was written very well and the story flowed just as well as the other books. Another great series!! Can't wait to read the next one.

So much potential

I was really looking forward to Rebs story. I thought great character name, I love musician stories, good friendships, and some spicy BDSM. It felt rushed, the musician’s art not as flushed out as the other artists in the series, and the main relationship while it started out with great promise…I just wanted more.

Music forever

Reb and Paige were a match made in heaven. She was his PR
Person to get his bad reputation go by to the rare good guy rock star he was before his old girlfriend dumped him. Paige saw the truly great man he really was. She proved to his public that very thing. In the process, they became each other's muse.

I absolutely love Reb and Paige. An 'all the feels' read with humor, remorse and desire. I'm now torn between which of the standalone books in this series is my favorite? I refuse to pick.

The descriptive writing and storylines are all unique. Great job M. S. Parker.

Another. Must. Read.

Shorter but Just as Good

All four of The Billionaire's Muse are pretty well written but this one was shorter than the others, but just as good. Mitzi going into rehab and making a deal against Chester was definitely unexpected.
