IDOL by Kristen Callihan Review & Excerpt Tour

IDOL

VIP SERIES

By Kristen Callihan

Release Day: June 7, 2016

Libby

I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more.

He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

Killian

As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse —and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name. 

The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

EXCERPT

“You know,” I say conversationally, as I kick back, “I want to fuck you right now.” 

Libby jerks as if pinched and sits a little straighter, before getting a hold of herself and slouching as if she’s completely chill. Cute. 

She gives me a smirk and sips her water before drawling, “And what? Mark your territory? Assert your manly dominance?” 

“Yep.” I slide my gaze to hers. “But mostly I just want to fuck you all the time.” 

God, I love the way her lips part and body flushes with heat. So subtle, but there all the same. It makes me hard as steel, my balls squeezing tight. I don’t look at her but pretend I’m observing the room. The lights are dimming for the movie now, the empty chairs in front of us obscuring our lower halves. 

Slowly my hand falls to space between us and smooths along her hip. She delicately shivers as my fingers trace down her thigh. 

“What about you,” I murmur, lightly toying with her skirt in the darkening room. “You want to fuck me, baby doll?” 

“Right now, I want to kick you,” she gets out between clenched teeth. “Keep your hands to yourself. There are nosy ass people everywhere.” 

“They’re all watching the movie. Not us.” Focusing on the screen, I keep my expression neutral as I ease my hand under her skirt. Her skin is smooth and warm. The movie starts in a blast of music and the familiar old logo as I trace over her knee and up her soft thigh. “And that wasn’t a ‘no.’” 

She makes a cute growl in the back of her throat, but her legs part just enough to give me room to delve between them. Her inner thighs are hot and damp, and my cock twitches. 

The storyline rolls along, my touch idly roams. Libby remains utterly still but I can practically feel the tension vibrating within her. When the tip of my finger skims the crease where her thigh meets her hip, her breath catches, legs parting wider. 

“Have I mentioned how much I appreciated this new skirt-filled wardrobe?” I whisper, lightly drawing circles along her skin.

“Brenna’s idea.” Her hips shift just a bit, following my touch. “Right now, I’m missing my shorts.” 

I smile, my eyes on the screen, my fingers drifting to the edge of her panties. “Later, you can put them on and we’ll play ‘Fuck the Farmer’s Daughter.’” 

She grunts, a stifled laugh, which turns to a strangled whimper when I pluck her panties. Her voice turns breathy. “I’m trying to watch the damn movie. I’m not interested in fooling around.” She moves a tiny fraction, nudging against my finger. 

In the dark, I grin, heat and lust pulling my abs tight. “I’m sorry,” I say, not sorry at all, “But I don’t believe you. I’m gonna have to check.”

This was a wonderful surprise. 

I've read my fair share of rockstar romances so I was very excited to read Idol.

The blurb totally sold me on it. 

I was hooked from the moment 

Killian crashed on Liberty's lawn and everything transpired from there. 

I was instantly intrigued by Liberty's "hermit" life and Killian's "rockstar" persona. 

They both surprised me by being nothing that I thought they were!!! 

Liberty lived a solitary life 

but her language didn't reflect that. 

She was a feisty, 

honest and fantastic woman. 

Killian's appearance represented rockstar 

but when Liberty took him in 

he was nothing of the sort. 

He was funny, 

intelligent, 

sweet 

and sexy as hell.

 I loved their friendship

 and slow building romance. 

It gave them time to get to know each other for who they truly were. 

Their chemistry was palpable 

and when they finally acknowledged 

their feelings, 

sparks literally flew between them. 

I loved how they both brought out different sides of one another. 

They changed each other's life for the better!

Killian's band mates were great characters and gave the story more substance. 

I also enjoyed the musical references since I'm all about that era.

I loved Callihan's Game On series but she definitely also pulled off the rockstar genre. I was entertained from start to finish and the writing was flawless.

This was a great summer read!
