Playing With The Drummer

Head Over Heels Series- Book 3

By Robin Covington

Synopsis

Entertainment journalist Lita Matthews is on the verge of making it big. As in her-own-TV-show big. She just needs amazing inside scoop on the year’s hottest celebrity wedding. Instead, her big break is becoming a big nightmare—all thanks to rock star Rocky Cardano. Who apparently hasn’t gotten over what happened between them four years ago…

Rocky is pretty damn familiar with just how far Lita will go for a “scoop.” Hell, their unbelievably hot hook-up in Mexico years ago was the story of a lifetime. Rocky’s learned his lessons. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her from the story—even if he has to seduce her to the point of distraction! But Lita has always had a way of getting under his skin. Only this time, he won’t be able to just walk away…

Michel’s Review

Playing With the Drummer by Robin Covington is the third book in the Head Over Heels series. It can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order. It is the first book in this series that I have read. I had no trouble adapting to all of the characters and roles they play throughout the series.

Playing With the Drummer was enjoyable but predictable. The overall plot was good. I love stories where old flames reunite and find the love they shared once again.

Lita and Rocky had one wild and romantic weekend in Mexico four years ago that ended badly. Lita did something that was so spiteful and malicious that she completely lost Rocky’s respect and trust. Now four years later they are forced together when her best friend is marrying Rocky’s bandmate.

Lita has agreed to cover the wedding and spin it in a positive manner. Rocky doesn’t trust Lita to follow through. He sees her as an over aggressive, manipulative, ambitious reporter. He doesn’t see the woman he once knew beneath her professional exterior.

These two have a long way to go to find the people they once knew and loved. Their journey to finding each other again is sexy and romantic. They will butt heads and they will do more than kiss and make up.

Playing The Drummer was good but very predictable. I found some of the passages were too cheesy and sweet. I didn’t feel the intense sexual chemistry between the two characters. I felt this was more of a fluffy type romance.
