4 JIMMY STARS! ★★★★
“Sometimes, when you’re not being a jerk, I like you so much it hurts. I like the way your true self comes out when you think no one else is looking.”
So I'm finally caught up with this series and totally bulldozed through it in one sitting after meeting the infamous Jimmy Ferris and boy oh boy, can I just say how much of an asshole he is?! It doesn't help that he was such a lovable asshole which left me so conflicted about this read. One minute when Jimmy isn't being a gigantic dickface, I wanted to cuddle with him. And later there are times that Jimmy could run for the asshole of century and made me want to punch his nuts repeatedly and castrate him.
GAH JIMMY WHAT YOU'D DO TO ME?!
Lena totally stole the show for me in this book. I have to hand it to her for being so sassy and putting up with a first class dickhead. Personally I would have walked out if I'd put up with half of the things Jimmy did.
I enjoyed watching their relationship progressed from strictly professional to something more, it was even more amusing that it was a case of unrequited love. Lena's character definitely pegged her as one of the best heroine so far in this series and I love how Kylie Scott managed to turn this read into something so different than the previous two. It was far more angsty that I even may have shed some tears of frustration during this read.
My only complaint is I wished that there was more grovelling done on Jimmy's part towards the end because honestly, my heart break for Lena one too many times with Jimmy asshole-ish ways. Also it would've been nice if we had Jimmy's POV thrown in because I'd really like to know the man behind that asshole exterior.
Now I'm stoked to read the last instalment of this series and see what's Ben story will be like YAY! :D
Lead is the third installment in the Stage Dive series and can be read as a standalone.

BEAUTIFUL review Sweetie!
I actually really loved Jimmy's story, and while reading the previous books I wasn't that crazy about him.
