This couple surprised me. Not because they aren't good together and not because they aren't sexy because they are certainly both those things. The surprise is what a sweet couple they are. It's unusual to find such a sweet romance in a rockstar romance, at least in my experience. The story is also steamy and full of humor, which is just what I needed this week. The residents at Sam's work had me in stitches. They're a sneaky bunch, and it doesn't take long to figure out that Tanner and Sam don't stand a chance once they get started. All that is terrific and makes for a great listen, but my favorite thing about this one is the personal growth of both characters. Tanner and Sam have some things to deal with, and I just really enjoyed how they are each other's strength and support as they grow as a couple.
The narration is as good as the material. I've listened to Maxine Mitchell several times, so I expected and found good things from her. Eric Michael Summerer was new to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed his performance as well. Both narrators brought out all the feels, whether it was tears or well-timed wit or anything in between.
This is book 4 in Christina Hovland's Mile High Rocked series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the first 3 books yet, but after meeting so many of the characters, I'll certainly be checking them out.

Sam works at the local nursing home.  She likes it there and she is able to hide from her past there.  When a resident, Babushka, organizes a date for her, Sam can't hide anymore.  Tanner is a rockstar and dating him will unravel her past.  However, he may just be who she was looking for and together they face her troubles.
Opinion
This series is a great series.   This book can be read as a stand alone but there are references to the previous books, mainly through the characters.  
I loved that Tanner was a runner and was able to see that Sam wanted to run.  The similarities between the two made them perfect for each other.  I was a little annoyed by what her past secret was.   I can understand to some extent trying to hid from it.  However, it was from when she was ten and she is a grown adult.  Everyone does stupid stuff when they are little.  Grow up and get over it.
In all, the book is a great book and my annoyances were small.  I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves a nice sweet romance with a little spic.
Many thanks to Wordsmith Publicity for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Tapped by the Rockstar was so good. It was emotional but also had lines and moments that made me laugh so hard. Sam and Tanner are absolutely adorable. They both have a history of running from their fears and I love the differences in how they handled it, but I also loved how they solved their fears too! 

I enjoyed being back in the Dimefront world and have missed these characters so much that I enjoyed every scene with the group, but the babysitting scene was hands down my favorite. I can’t wait for Mach’s book as I can tell from this one that it will be great!
