REVIEW – Madden by Brooke O’Brien

BLURB

USA Today Bestselling author Brooke O’Brien brings all of the hate-to-love feels in this highly anticipated conclusion to the A Rebels Havoc series.

Madden Cole is considered a rock ‘n’ roll god, and all the women want him. Except for me.

After working my butt off as a journalist for years, I’ve heard the rumors about him and his band and have read all about their dirty scandals in the headlines. 

When I land a job as a writer for Limelight magazine, I’ll stop at nothing to make a good impression. Even if it means agreeing to a sit-down interview with the bad boys of A Rebels Havoc. 

They’re making a name for themselves by soaring to the top of the charts with multiplatinum records and sold-out tours. 

Madden is cold and closed-off, but the more I get to know him, the more he starts to open up to me. As hard as I’ve tried to resist wanting him, when he turns on his sweet-talking charm, all the walls I’ve built around me crumble.

They say what goes up must come down, and the band is forced to face the downside of fame. Rumors, lies, and blackmail threaten Madden’s life and the career he and the guys have worked so hard to build. 

He doesn’t know about the secret I’ve been keeping. 

And I fear when he finds out the truth, it could destroy everything.

Author’s Note: Madden is a standalone and can be read without reading any other books in the A Rebels Havoc series. If you prefer to read in order, start with Brix as the stories do interconnect.

ARC REVIEW

Madden has seen his friends and sister fall in love and form new relationships and he is the last man standing. Madden has issues when it comes to trusting people, especially journalists. Needless to say he isn’t a fan of having one come into his home for an interview. Brielle is new at Limelight and scored a great interview with the band. She has worked hard to get where she is, even if she hides her true identity from everyone.

I loved the connection between Madden and Brielle! These two have a ton of chemistry from the start and things only heat up as the story goes. They both judged the other based on their careers and first impressions, but quickly learn that there is much more to each other than what they initially thought. These two, despite some ups and downs, were absolutely perfect for each other.

I’m sad this is the end of the series, but wow what a way to finish up. This entire series is fantastic from Brix all the way to Madden.

If you’re looking for an enemies to friends to lovers, rockstar, workplace romance this is one to check out.
