I know what you want, and I know exactly how to give it to you...
It's why I've got a row of platinum records on my wall and girls lining up for a shot at fame. I'm the best. Now I just need to prove it.
The bet is simple: take a nobody and make her a star. I just didn't bet on HER.
She's not some wannabe, she's the real deal.
But fuck it, I want her. And I always come out on top.

Excerpt
I cup her chin and turn her to face me slowly.
“You’re thinking too much. Don’t think.”
A blush creeps across her cheeks and she drops her eyes again. I brush her hair away from her face and let my hand rest on her neck as I slowly move in closer. Her trembling lips steady themselves on mine, softly settling against my mouth. Our breaths mingle, tongues gently tickling at the insides of each other’s lips. I press further, wanting to kiss away all the shakes in her body, to let her thoughts disappear in the heat of our mouths. Her hand presses against my shirt, splayed fingers tentatively tracing the hardness of my chest, before pushing me away from her.
“Brando…” she whispers, her eyes still closed, her mouth still wet. “I think I just need…”
“Tell me what you need,” I coax her.
“I need…” She opens her eyes, and I already know what she’s about to say. “You.”
This is the most restrained I’ve ever been. Every muscle memory in my body wants to tear her clothes off, the look in her lidded eyes all I need to know she wants this – even more than I do. Hours spent around her blossomed lips, her hidden breasts, her slender thighs, hours of caging up my lust for her in pursuit of another goal has made it grow, big and fearsome. Now that the cage is open, it’s taking all of my reserve to stop it from taking me over. I need this to be slow – this is for her.
“I know how to make you sing, Haley,” I growl in short breaths. My hand goes to the inside of her thigh, pressing itself against the front of her jeans. “I can make you sing better than you’ve ever sung before.”
I have the buttons undone in seconds. Warm, strong, fingers teasingly reaching into the lip of her panties. Her head goes back, eyes closed as she starts panting at the ceiling.
“Wait!” she says, snapping back, her hand on my wrist. “I don’t understand what’s happening between us, Brando. Is this about me? Or is this about music?”
I kneel in front of her, slowly pulling down her jeans.
“It’s about music,” I say, kissing her moistening pussy through the soft cotton of her panties. “It’s always about music.”
She replies by moaning softly and grabbing the back of my head as I run my tongue down the inside of her thigh, letting my stubble softly tickle her pale, sensitive skin.

I get her panties off quickly, and run my hands around the back of her waist, holding her still while I explore her pussy with my tongue. The smell drives me wild, stirring the animal in me like a dormant beast. It’s all I can do to stop myself from sprouting fangs and roaring – I wanna take it slow, learn everything I can about what makes her tick.
My Review:
Brando is the first part of a book set. In it we are introduced to Brando and Haley (and a few other lesser important characters).
Brando, still upset over a past loss, takes a bet from a rival thinking he'll win and get what he wants, but the bet turns out to not be so simple afterall once he steps in and starts. The bet - Make a Star out of a nobody. Take the singer picked and launch her to stardom. Winner pretty much takes all.
Haley has dealt with enough losers in her past to know that nothing is what it seems, people lie and manipulate and fail to deliver. She's wary of any and everyone and knows that fame sometimes comes with costs. But she also knows what she wants, and what she wants is her life in music. She wants to sing her songs, play her guitar and make something of herself.
This story brings to life a different aspect of a rock star life, we see things from a new angle. Brando is dead set on winning, his eye on the prize, but as he gets to know Haley and works with her, he finds himself wondering if the prize is really worth having at all.
Haley is a Sassy fierce girl, she knows what she wants, and who she wants to be. I love her attitude and that she doesn't let Brando walk all over her. It's refreshing in a female character to see that sometimes.
Brando sucks you in, wondering how the bet will end and what's going to happen to all involved. I can't wait for the rest of the story to see how things turn out. The story is HOT, but also full of action and drama.
