Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?

This is the four and final book in the Stage Dive series and
I for one and sad to leave the wonderful characters that have had me laughing,
crying and swooning all over the place. This is Ben and Liz’s story and another
great read from Ms Scott.
Ben has always been a bit of a conundrum for me through the
series and I was itching to delve into his persona to find out more about him
and he definitely did not disappoint! I think it was the beard that topped it
for me!
In the first book, Lick the central couple were thrown
together by an unplanned wedding in Vegas, whereas here it’s an unplanned pregnancy.
Yes after a hot and passionate one night stand Liz finds herself pregnant with
Ben’s baby and the way this was revealed was eyebrow raising.
I loved the build-up of Ben and Liz, especially the texting
which the reader could see as an observer how Ben was acting all cool and
standoffish but as soon as Liz backed off he was chasing her right back. I
loved how subtle this was portrayed though.
Liz was a great heroine and she was totally likeable from
the onset. She wasn’t one for moping and being all angst driven, she took the
news on board and just dealt with it. No need for any soul searching by leaning
on Ben – oh no she was straight up for supporting herself. Although yes you
could see deep down through her inner thoughts how she was hoping for the big
sweeping off her feet by Ben.
Mal (who if you know me know that I love the big lug) but here
he just kept annoying me. Acting all over protective of Liz and interfering. I
just wanted Liz to stand up to him and tell him to butt out. Well I guess she
kind of does in the end when Ben agrees to Mal getting a punch in to punish
him!
I loved that although Ben was a ‘I’m not a relationship kind
of guy’ he worked though his issues and was always from the start going to look
after Liz and his child. I was swooning with joy when they eventually worked
out they needed each other for love too.
The HEA did take some time to work through so I would have
loved a little bit more of them being an actual couple for longer in the story but none the less I really loved this book as I have the previous ones. A
definite must read for fans of the series and if you have not started this
series yet (What?!) then I beg you to get on board the Stage Dive journey. You
will absolutely love it! Four and a half stars.
