Note to Self --Do NOT bang your best guy friend in the limo on the way to the swanky Vegas hotel.
I give myself very good advice. Too bad I suck at taking it...

If only Colin and I hadn't drunk so much whiskey, if only I'd kept that red bikini in my suitcase, if only his evil ex-girlfriend hadn't come sniffing around making me feel territorial and protective.

Not that my bad boy rock star best friend is any help. Walking around looking ridiculously sexy, telling me I'm perfect in that panty-melting voice of his when we both swore we’d never do anything to put our friendship at risk. And Colin never breaks a promise.

But then, he has no idea I’ve secretly been in love with him for years.

I guess I should just enjoy the ride, but I can’t stop thinking about what happens when this vacation ends and I head home alone, nursing one hell of a bangover…

The Bangover is a red-hot, laugh out loud rom-com featuring two best friends on a collision course with Vegas-flavored disaster--and each other. It stands alone. No cheating or cliffhangers.

Rocker romance with a take no shit heroine

Rocker romance with a take no shit heroine
This was my first read from Ms. Valente and I was not disappointed. This was also my first rock star romance, but it wont be my last.I enjoyed this author's writing style to include the back and forth POV from both Kirby and Colin. Valente kept it light with a smooth story line that included enough sass, chaos and relatability to keep me hooked. I found the heroine, Kirby, with her inner monologue and general love of all things creepy fun to follow along with. She's not a damsel looking to be rescued but more of a spitfire looking for her next orgasm! Colin had a balance of cocky dirty talking rock-star and home schooled violinist nerd with small town roots.I enjoyed this story for what it was. A quick fun friends-to-lovers read with each 'situation' having a swift and complete resolution. It hooked me enough to read the next in the series, Bang Theory.This gets a solid 4 stars. I'm looking forward to getting to experience the stories of the remaining Lips On Fire band mates.

Larry and Colin, best friends since they were 14. He the newbie musical nerd, she the weirdo writer chic that was way more responsible than she should have been at that age. Now grown up, he a rock star with writers block, she a fiercely private horror writer with a nine month sexual dry streak. After a drunken night they decided to console each other and end Kirby(Larry's) dry streak and Give Colin that last big bang before he goes into forced celibacy to end his writers block. A decision to go to Vegas begins a wild ride , and what happens in Vegas doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas. This is a super fun and fast read has kidnappings, drugs, psycho exes and lots of hot heavy, sometimes kinky sex. It all leads to a long awaited happy ending.
This is a book you don't want to miss.

This is my first book by this author and the first book in this series and I loved it! Kirby and Colin were adorable together. I couldn't wait to see what they'd do next.

Normally, I get bored with friends to lovers stories but the author was able to weave the plot in such a way that it kept me turning pages and engaged in the unfolding mystery. There were some great side characters, a feisty cat named Murder, and, of course, a couple of antagonists to rock the romance dream boat. All of this moved the story along and kept my attention to the very end.

The writing was clever. There was great character building. The witty dialogue made me smile, giggle, and even laugh out loud more than once. The only thing I can really say even remotely negative is that maybe the plot got a little bit too convoluted at the end. It was really two separate plots combined. Regina was enough for me and I will leave it at that.

All and all it was a great read with plenty if spice with no cheating, no obvious OM/OW drama, and what I call a perfect HEA. I highly recommend this book for all rom-com and friends to lovers fans looking for a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud funny friends to lovers

Kirby and Colin have been besties for years when they decide to be friends with benefits only for a week in Vegas. He needs to get over a songwriting slump and wants one last hurrah before becoming a celibate hermit while writing a new album. Her last relationship left a lot to be desired and she needs to get her groove back, so it’s a win-win. These two have a sweet relationship and the banter is great but there’s a surprising element of suspense I wasn’t expecting and it’s perfect.

Twists and turns is kind of an understatement because this story really went off the rails at about the 75% mark, but in the best possible way. This is a fun, funny read with loveable MCs and a great supporting cast. I loved the balance of suspense and emotion with a bit of heat.

It was a cute friends to lovers, not my favorite trope but still cute. Though it felt like the author was all over the place at some points. I felt like I had adhd at times with the way the FMC trailed off on what felt like random tangents. A cute quick read that while it could have been better IMO had chuckle out loud moments and an all over the place story.

I mean, wow, this has a bit of everything in and and all combined makes an incredible story. Comedy, love, friendship, crazy ex's, drama, sexy smut and probably so many more descriptors that I cant even think about.
Collin is unbelievably sexy, kind and lovable and it definitely does not hurt that hes a rockstar. Seriously, I have a big soft spot for stories with rockstars... but that's beside the point. The female lead, Kirby, is just as fun and quirky as her name. She has some issues but she doesn't let that stop her from being the amazing funny creature that she is. And both of them together is even better, trust me. Their chemistry just jumps off the pages and the shit that happens to them was honestly like reading about the Hangover movie in a way lol but with their crazy ex's.
I was entertained the entire time and some parts even got me to laugh out loud, that's honestly hard to achieve for me. There were several hot scenes so if ur into that then this book is for u. Like I said earlier, this has a little bit of everything and a happily ever after in the end. This story was nonconventional and that was one of my favorite things. Anyways, I will stop gushing about this book and just tell u that u should definitely read this.
Happy reads everyone!

Very cute, best friends to lovers. Colin and Kirby have been friends since high school. They are both single and one drunken night leads to a Vegas trip and week long bangathon.

Funny and spicy, great characters.

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022

I love how Kirby and Colin are best friends for so long and don't realize how well they actually fit together as an actual couple. Yet everyone around them can see it. It takes both of them being single at the same time and no prospects in sight for Larry, Kirby, to suggest kissing friends with benefits. Colin then suggests a trip to Vegas where everything seems to go wrong from his ex showing up at the hotel he staying at to a drone filming them getting it on and many other mishaps.
They get their all as a couple and when something really bad happens, it's then that they each come to the realization that they're in love with each other. Watching the relationship go from best friends to friends with benefits to lovers is wonderful to see the progression. I think it was always there, but they were just too stubborn to see it. Both Kirby and Colin are famous in their own right and one has had it rougher than the other, but they have always been there for each other.
I love that with all her audio books Lili Valenti narrates her own books along side with Jason Clarke. They make a great team.

The story starting up great , writers does know how to build chemistry both Collin and Kirby just real connected from the start , sweet funny moment that build up into romantic phase or rather hot eventually just kind of disappointed with overflowing drama in Vegas as well the crazy ex got out on dragging Kirby too easily which almost causing her death

It’s still a fun book to read

4.0 out of 5 stars Me ha sorprendido
Reviewed in Spain on September 1, 2021

Me ha sorprendido para bien, ya que las novelas que dejan a precio cero suelen decepcionarme bastante. Le pongo 4 estrellas (le pondría 3,5 si pudiera) porque he pagado más por ebooks que no han valido para nada y este al menos me ha entretenido.

Se lee bastante deprisa y me ha gustado la parte del misterio aunque el motivo final del "malo" me ha parecido algo ridículo. Los personajes no tienen nada llamativo ni se profundiza demasiado en los secundarios. No hay tramas complementarias a la historia.

Es una novela ligera sin pretensiones, perfecta para pasar un rato entretenido, que puedes dejar y retomar sin miedo a perder el hilo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise ending that made my day
Reviewed in Australia on September 12, 2021

There were many laugh out loud moments in this books and loved the flow as it went from Colin's point of view back to Kirby's. I really loved how the reader knew there love for each other but yet each character kept missing the signs and still thinking they were in the 'friend-zone'. I know many reviews here have mentioned Murder and once I finished the book I understand why. This author obviously owns cats and nailed their 'human's are my slaves' personas. But I think the best part was the twists and turns in the last third, not typical in a fluffy rom-com. It had me completely ignoring my family as I just had to keep turning the pages to find out what happened and how it was going to end. #TeamMurder
