The first novel in a steamy spin-off series from the national bestselling author of the Salon Games novels...
On the surface, Sebastian "Baz" Valenti is a rock god with the lifestyle to match. With his drop-dead gorgeous looks and his band, Baseline Sins, at the top of the charts, he can have any woman he wants. But the constant touring and recording has taken its toll. Now he’s turned to scoring films, a gig that has introduced him to the one woman he really wants but can’t have...
Trudeau Morrison is all business all the time. As the managing director of ManDown Films, it’s her job to keep Baz focused on business too. It’s not an easy task, considering Baz has made no secret of his desire for her. But Tru doesn’t want to get involved with a rock star, even if he is the hottest man she’s ever met.
Trouble is, once Baz gets an erotic taste of Tru, he’s not going to give her up. Now he just has to show her that rock-steady is nothing compared to rock and roll...

Review:
Wow, what a great start to a new series!
Strings Attached is the first book in the new Baseline Sins
series. It is a spinoff of the Salon Games series, which I loved.
We met Sebastian (Baz) Valenti in the book Overexposed
(Salon Games #3). He is the lead singer of the band and a very accomplished
musician. Baz had a breakdown and accidentally overdosed. After rehab, Baz is
trying to decide what he wants to do and is asked by his friend Greg to work in
his movie company. He loves composing the score for Greg’s new movie, but still
misses the band and is thinking of getting them back together.
Trudeau (Tru) Morrison is Greg’s assistant and helps run the
movie company. She has her “life plan” all figured out which helps her keep in
control. After working together at the movie company for the last three months every
day, Tru and Baz start to bicker and argue. When she tells her father about it,
he tells her it’s like elementary school--the boys fight with the girls they
like.
During a dinner meeting, Baz has a panic attack and leaves.
He goes to a bar where friends are playing a concert and Tru goes with him. While
there, Baz kisses Tru for the first time and they show the feelings for each
other. A relationship begins, but Tru is afraid it won’t last long. She keeps
thinking Baz will leave anyway since the band is working things out and getting
back together.
I liked how the other friends in the band were so supportive
of Baz. Each band member had his own ideas and issues with how the band separated
after the breakdown. They discussed things and worked it out so they could play
together again, which they all missed.
Baz and Tru learn to try to make the relationship work by showing
each other how they care for them.
Having the other characters from the Salon series appear throughout
the story was also nice to see.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
