Blurb
Messy-haired, soulful-eyed, off-kilter lyricist Les Graves holds tight to the hedonist’s credo of consumption in every avenue of life. He has trouble staying still, trouble staying sober, trouble turning down a good time—but put a pen in his hand, and he’ll set a page on fire.
Music was Evan Porter’s ticket out of the backwater mud puddle he was born in, the passion keeping him warm as he busked on street corners, fueling him through a dead-end bartending job. Every chord, every song, every ounce of sweat has been devoted to making Porter & Graves a success. He’s the level-head, the quiet maestro, the seatbelt that keeps Les from flying too far out of control. And he’s getting pretty tired of playing savior.
Their chemistry onstage is electric, but offstage it’s another story.
Angst, snark, and nuclear levels of unresolved sexual tension combust in this tale of two rockers, a handful of secrets, a bombed album, and a publicity nightmare thrown in a remote cabin with one shot at redemption. Can Evan and Les find harmony or will they—and their music career—go down in flames?
Dedicated is a 92k standalone bisexual friends-to-lovers romance that also plays on the fake relationship trope, contains a cockblocking greenhouse, really poor decisions involving social media, and a borderline over-the-top HEA.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Neve Wilder's Dedicated is one of those books I fall into immediately, enjoy every single second of, and wish would never end.
This book has a feel that immediately drew me in, hook, line, and sinker.
Of course, I was excited by the story, as it's two band mates, two great friends, who suddenly are broken by a disconnect, an inability to communicate, and extremely repressed feelings for each other.
The best part of this book, however, is the execution. Through frequent flashbacks, we slowly learn what led to the divide between the men.
Throughout we are able to fully feel how each man feels, as the author expertly brings us into each scene.
Their story is an emotional journey, full of lust, confusion, and a whole lot of intensity.
I love this story. I would be happy if every book I opened gave me the feelings this one does. I loved the pain, the hurt, and the jealousy. The sexual tension is palpable. It's an extraordinary journey of two men trying to figure out their feelings for each other.
If you like rockers, or a slow burn, yet intense romance, read Dedicated. Neve Wilder delivers with the first book in her Rhythm Of Love series. I can't wait for the next book!
She reads promiscuously, across multiple genres, but her favorite stories always contain an element of romance. Incidentally, this is also what she likes to write. Slow-burners with delicious tension? Yes. Whiplash-inducing page-turners, also yes. Down and dirty scorchers? Yes. And every flavor in between.
She believes David Bowie was the sexiest musician to ever live, and she's always game to nerd out on anything from music to writing.
And finally, she believes that love conquers all. Except the heat index in July. Nothing can conquer that bastard.
