Excerpt:

“Lena, you seen my old black Led Zep shirt?”


“Nope.”


“You sure?” His brows became one dark cranky line. The scratches on his face were healing well, thank goodness. Though it didn’t reduce my desire to throttle his mother on a daily basis.


“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”


Can’t find it anywhere…”


“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher, Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”


“Sure you haven’t seen it?”


“For goodness sake, what do you think, Jimmy? That I stole it to sleep in or something?” I laughed bitterly. Sure as hell, the truth deserved a good mocking. I’d sunk so despicably low.


I hadn’t even meant to steal the stupid thing, but the shirt had been mixed up with my laundry a few days ago. It’d been the first top I laid my hand on after stepping out of the shower, ready to go to bed. Without thought, I’d put it on and it’d been so soft, the scent of him lingering beneath the laundry detergent. Every night since, I’d found myself in it come bedtime. My shame knew no limits. And no, I still hadn’t quit. The words still hadn’t come even close to leaving my mouth.


He frowned. “No.”


“That I have some deep secret longing to feel close to you resulting in my stealing your shirt like
some creepy perv?”


“Course I don’t fucking think that,” he replied crankily, reaching up to grip the top of the doorframe. All of his bulging muscles stretched the arms of his white T-shirt in the nicest way. It was all I could do not to start drooling, my heart beat taking up residence somewhere down between my thighs. And who could blame it? Not me. Maybe if I got laid, this would go away and things would return to normal. It’d seemed safer to avoid rubbing up against any men just in case I got carried away and started dating again. This new situation, however, changed everything.


“Well, of course not! That would be crazy.” And wasn’t that the god’s honest truth? Cray-zeee. Lock me up and throw away the key because it wasn’t like I didn’t know better.


“Just can’t figure out where the hell it could be.”


Angels couldn’t have smiled as innocently. They might have tried, but they would have failed, the dirty-mouthed, winged, little liars. “Jimmy, I don’t know where it is. But I’ll look around for it later, okay?”


“Yeah,” he said, and then added as an afterthought, “and stop looking at me weird.”


“I’m not!”


My Review:
I have been a fan of Kylie Scott's Stage Dive series since the very beginning! I was so excited to read the newest book, Lead! Oh how I love me some Jimmy!!! Jimmy is a strong force, he is unstable and has always gotten alcohol, drugs and women whenever he wants. All of that is about to change.

By chance Lena meets the band and is hired on as Jimmy's Personal Assistant/Babysitter. She has her hands full though... it isn't going to be an easy job.  Jimmy opens up to Lena one time and it is all she can do to keep her feelings in check around him. All of the sudden she starts to see the real Jimmy that he tries to hide from everyone else.

Lena ends up wanting to quit because of her attraction to Jimmy but Jimmy does everything he possibly can to sabotage any other prospects. He goes as  far as setting her up with other people to try and turn her attraction to someone else. I must say I thought it was hilarious to see Jimmy actually follow her on a date!

What happens though when you play with fire.... you are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens between Jimmy and Lena. What happens with Jimmy doesn't know how to handle his own feelings. Will he ever truly know what love is/means?

I thought the story line was phenomenal! It kept you entertained with all of the back and forth between the two main characters. Even the secondary characters in the story through their opinions in! Kylie Scott truly hit a home run with this one!
