Cocky and self-assured, I’m confident when it comes to my skills both on stage and in the bedroom. Everything in my life is perfect, even if I am the last single man standing in our famed rock band.
But it wasn’t always this way.
Jayla knew me before I hit it big. Back when I was a skinny teen, chasing dreams without a penny to my name. Now she’s back in my life and so much more than the girl I remember. Fiercely loyal, beautiful and badass. She walked out of my life before, and I won’t let that happen again.
They say some songs are better on the second take, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, this is our time for a replay.
Replay is the fourth and final book in the Off Track Records novels, but can also be read as a standalone.

Excerpt
I tip my chin up, letting my head fall back against his stomach. I catch his grin and let my own lips curve up playfully. Or at least, it starts that way. Under the heat of his stare and with his hands still moving across my shoulders in deep, sure circles, my body tenses for an entirely different reason.
His touch feels intimate.
The way he’s studying me from beneath those dark lashes is intense. He doesn’t look away, and I couldn’t if I tried. “Honestly, Jay, what can I do? You shouldn’t carry all this stress.”
“I—” want you to touch me. The words catch in my throat and hammer in my chest. My pulse gallops and I press my legs together as the need between them—the need for him—obliterates any rational thought.
I almost say those words aloud.
By the heat in his stare, I wonder if he feels it too.
“Jay,” he whispers. My name on his lips is full of the same tortured longing I feel down to my core. We barely scratched the surface of this sexual tension when we were teens, both too young and too naïve to fully understand the power of it.
Now. Right here. I swear those same feelings have multiplied and grown. It’s overwhelming. Terrifying as hell. And yet . . . I can’t help but arch my back even more. I delight in the way his gaze drops to the neckline of my shirt.
His eyes zero in on my chest and his touch becomes feather light as his stare takes in the hard peaks of my nipples straining against the soft cotton fabric. I want him to touch me there. To haul me off this chair and into his arms. I need to taste his lips as they press against mine. Crave it.
“I have an idea,” he whispers so softly that if I weren’t watching his lips I would have missed the words.
“Yeah?”
His hands brush along my arms, down to my elbows and then back up, his fingers so close but not touching the swell of my breasts. “It’s selfless on my part, because you know how giving I am.” He’s teasing. Joking.
But it doesn’t kill the chemistry that swirls between us. If anything, it only adds charge to an already building momentum.
His hands feel good, but they’re not enough.
“Your idea?” My gaze waits for his.
“I want you, Jayla.”
“Oh.” Heat pools in my belly. My skin feels flush. And my body, my body wants this and everything he wants to give.
His hands slide up the length of my neck, then still as they cup my face. “I’ll make you feel better. I swear.” He tilts my chin up and my back arches in response. His body leans down over mine, slowly closing the space between our mouths.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I murmur, completely fascinated by the heat in his stare, and the way his tongue swipes across his lips.
“Let me kiss you at least?” He lowers his mouth, his intent as clear as his words. “I’ve been dying to taste those lips. To see if they’re still the same.”
“Um . . .” I should feel caged in. Between the chair and the table, his hands near my throat and his body behind mine, I expect my anxiety to ruin this moment. Only it never comes. Instead, desire and attraction so powerful flood my veins. I almost reach up and grab for him.
“One kiss?” He bends, closing the remaining space until there isn’t more than shared breath between us. All I need to do is close the space, to nod my consent, and his lips will crash on mine.

Replay was kinda like the song you love to listen on repeat and never get tired of it. I loved Jayla and Austin’s story. With a cocky, arrogant and so flirty man with this big heart, we needed a strong woman by his side to keep him grounded and trust me, it was so worth it.
As the last single man of the band standing, Austin never felt the need to settle down, just enjoying the thrill of being on stage and having fun, being the joyful and cheerful guy of the band. But when he saw Jayla again, his former crush and best friend, he knew that he couldn’t let her slip through his fingers, a decade was enough and he wasn’t going to miss his chance. As you might guess, he’d have to work a lot to crush Jayla’s walls.
Jayla was the badass and strong independent woman who made her career a priority. Protecting herself from people and working hard to protect her clients. Sharp, focused and good at her job. It took one moment of weakness to meet that boy she used to know to make her heart beating like crazy. She was a tough nut to crack, and even with her strong defenses, she couldn’t help not to fall for Austin again.
It was kinda low on the angst for sure but the foreplay was amazing, adding this little tension in cracking in the air, a spark that no one would miss. They had their past, and I thought it would have a big issues about how they had to learn from each other again but it wasn’t the case.
The dual POV was honest, sincere and upfront. I appreciated how they didn’t let anyone to break this trust. They might be arguing and fighting at times but working in their own ways to make it better. Such strong personalities that created that sensual, intense and powerful melody. I couldn’t put it down. I appreciated how they could show their fragility to each other, when they hide it perfectly to the world.
The band dynamic was just delightful, creating this crazy but so endearing family. The kind of ones you just want to be friends with. Their interactions made me smile so many times.
I adored this second chance romance, a bit heavy sometimes but alternating so greatly between the lighter moments; I felt the butterflies and the banter… a mix of sweet and hot. It was nice for a change to see Austin losing his mind and his cool when it came to her. I could feel the incredible pull and connection they shared and in spite of all the years passing by, the fire they made was still burning, slowly and passionately. Stronger every day. Fun, sexy, a bit suspenseful and all the feels!
