Limelight (The Hold Me NSB Series Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Aly Stiles (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 229 ratings

“A great tortured rockstar read. Highly recommend!" - Colleen Hoover

I’m unpredictable.

A genius, an underachiever.

I’m the song, the voice, the passion, the pain. The front man and the failure.

I make music because it’s what I am. The music chose me. I’m its victim not its gift.

Mila Taylor destroyed my career. Ruined my life. Pushed me from the shadows and exposed my lies. Her scathing reviews have destroyed lesser artists, and now her fire is aimed at me.

And Mila—she loves to watch me burn.

Our volatile attraction is more than heated anger and haunted lust. She’s fire. I’m gasoline.

But the part we never saw coming?

Sometimes it takes a spark to slay the darkness.

Limelight is an emotional enemies to lovers rockstar romance. This book addresses the issues of addiction, anxiety, trauma and loss in a compassionate, realistic manner. For a full list of content notices please visit my website.

    I’m a writer, musician, and cat lover. I also have an alternative music obsession. Seriously, it's a real problem.

    I write what needs to come out, whether it’s pain, tears, or laughter. I write people and relationships, about the beauty and horror of what we do to ourselves and each other. I write Love. Vengeance. Compassion. Cruelty. Trust. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Darkness, and the incredible way humans destroy and heal each other.

    I like to eradicate barriers, refusing to be confined by the laws of physics or limitations of reality. I will befriend a vast population of possibilities and introduce them in ways that might surprise you.

    Aly is a writer, musician, and terrible cook. She loves cats, hates selfies, holds a blackbelt in Kyokushin karate, and watches every documentary she can find. Her books (and music) stretch genres and feature emotional, angsty themes with gripping storylines that bring all the feels. The only things she enjoys more than shredding hearts is stitching them back together and creating vivid, complex characters you can’t let go.

    Her novels have been nominated for an RT Reviewer’s Choice award, received a number of Amazon category bestseller rankings, and have been praised by some of the leading authors in the romance industry. The care and compassion with which she handles difficult subjects like mental illness and suicide has also been recognized by mental health advocates and actively promoted by multiple survivors and organizations.

    No matter the genre or trope, Aly’s goal is always the same: to write with earnest passion from her soul to yours.

    Aly is represented by SBR Media. For inquiries regarding foreign rights, audio, and other media outlets, please contact Katie Monson at SBR Media.

    Ugh this book. I say this with every release, but Alyson’s books just get better and better. Just when I think she can’t gut me any more, she goes right ahead and does it again. Bigger and better.
    Limelight is the perfect story of a tormented but incredibly talented and genius-like rocker. Every feeling is real, I lived it as though it was me. My heart was torn out and ripped apart, the darkness in Jesses soul was palpable. I felt it with every word. I smiled a lot. I cried a lot. I felt sadness with him but also felt him light up. His journey is one of hardship, he loses himself and totally finds himself. I was there!!
    I loved the return of some of our faves and also the newbies, I may have a massive soft spot for D!!
    Overall, this book is everything.

    This book pulls at every emotion, book four in the Night Shifts Black series, and they just keep getting better.

    Front man Jesse Everett is a tortured soul, supremely talented but with no sense of control over that talent. His work consumes him, it takes so much from him and leaves him spiralling. Mila Taylor has ruined his life, but she might just be the only person who knows how to reach him.

    This is not what you call an easy read, I felt everything for Jesse as I watched his struggle, Alyson has a way of writing about the difficult subjects of mental health, addiction and trauma that is so raw and beautiful. Its compelling.

    Prepare to have your heart broken and your soul stolen. This is a must read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars UNIQUE, RAW, EMOTIONAL AND BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2019
    I wasn't expecting that!

    I have read so many Rock-star romances but this is set apart. when I think back on some of the words, some of the Lyrics that went around and around in Jesse's head, its poetic, its Brilliance, Its damn good writing!.

    Jesse is a tortured soul, an addict, an escape artist from real life running to the use of pills, drugs he believes Will temporarily set him free from the anguish of his past, from his fears, from his thoughts and triggers, he runs to escape the thoughts he can't control.
    Mila is a blogger who enters his life, not i a good way at first she is an influential blogger with famous parents and her review does damage, it shoots Jesse and his band from the top right to rock bottom.

    LIMELIGHT is an emotional and heartbreaking story, I was moved many times, perplexed many times for Jesse, I laughed, had tears in my eyes, I was on a complete and utter roller-coaster with this book, with these characters and I loved every raw minute of it. An enemies to lovers story that is unique.

    This is Jesse's story from his dark childhood, to his fame to hitting rock bottom and climbing back up with the help of the new light in his life... Mila

    I listened to this in audio and boy did it bring it to life, Zachary Webber is an amazing narrator with a sultry voice, I love any book he narrates, haven't been disappointed yet, however, he is not so good at the female pov or a British accent but I soon got used to it, Jesse would be in his head one minute, then out, talking out loud and Zachary did a brilliant job of putting this across. I think a female narrator for Mila's parts would have been far more effective though.

    ​LIMELIGHT can be read as a standalone, this is my first book by Alyson Santos and there were no spoilers or anything that left me feeling like I should have read previous books but I will definitely be reading more from this author. LIMELIGHT Leads to HEA

    Although Limelight touches on drug use it does not go into heavy details and rather focuses on the characters emotions and thought.

    Another great read by Alyson Santos. I have read all the books in this series and they only get better with every book. I have laughed and cried throughout all the books. I can’t wait to see if there are any more to this fantastic series. Well written limelight gives people hope who may suffer addiction that there is light at the end of what may seem to be an ever ending dark tunnel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreakingly good.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2019
    Holy hackers, how on earth did Jessie Everett become such a soul wrecker, heart breaker & unbelievably beautiful human being.

    Jessie, wow I don’t quite no where to start, except to say that this damaged young man, has such a sorrowful story buried so very deep inside, that I think I held my breath from the very beginning. I felt like a gatecrasher on his life, as his demons shredded him from the inside, leaving him literally just hanging on by a thread.

    His story was one of desperation, sadness & heartbreak, all of which Alyson delivered with an unbelievable realism that all but ripped my heart out. It’s been a long while since a story made me ugly cry, but this one more than made sure I need a years worth of tissues at the ready.

    An amazing story, but an amazingly talented author.

    I couldn't put this one down. This book is insanely good! Alyson pours a whole lot of truth into these pages. This is not your typical rock star romance, but definitely one you don't want to miss. Alyson writes brilliantly. This is one story I know will stick with me for a long, long time.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2018
    Beautiful, heartfelt and totally engrossing, this is another fabulous book from Alyson which has gone straight onto my favourites list. Bringing us old friends and new, Limelight weaves a story of fragility and strength, of stress and courage, of weakness and strength. With wit and skill, Alyson succeeds in drawing characters that dwell in my heart long after I have finished her books and this is no exception. Jess is such a beautiful soul, Mila...what a great surprise! Parker. I am not going there. And Derrick! Thank you for Derrick! His craziness created a perfect balance for this wonderful, challenging book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Limelight got me so drunk.
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2020

    Wow... Night Shifts Black was my first taste of Alyson Santos. Considering that Limelight is the fourth book of the series it goes without saying that I spent a week devouring this series. From the first book to this one I have been amazed at the lyricism of Ms. Santos prose, her character building and the extremely difficult task of taking very heavy subject matter and making it so clear.
    I loved the previous three books, but Limelight is now permanently lodged in my heart. Wow. Just wow.
    Limelight is Jesse and Mila's story. If you've read the prior three books you are familiar with the gifted artist that is Jesse Everett. Addiction, depression, abuse beyond measure and devastating loss make for a difficult read but I never felt that Ms Santos wrote simply for the angst. This is all Jesse. It also brilliantly showcases that addiction and mental illness encompasses everyone around the person suffering it. As his brother, this is just as much Parker's story. As it is his band brothers, Derrick and Reece. EVERYONE suffers in the spiral of broken lives.
    Jesse isn't just a gifted musician, he is almost a savant. He is beyond description with his gift which also happens to be his curse. I love how he always sees color surrounding Mila, which led me to believe that he experienced synesthesia. People with perfect pitch often see/hear sound with color. Another gift. Another curse.
    The secondary story is Limelight's climb to the top only to have it crash around them. Hurtful words written by Mila is Jesse's easy excuse for blame. In the midst of his spiral and numbing chemical delusions he finds it easier to assign the blame to someone else instead of taking responsibility. Such an addiction cliché, but so true. I, however, never felt that Jesse saw himself as a victim.
    Ultimately, Limelight is the story of a band on the cusp of greatness. A band with a genius front man. A band struggling with the demons that the front man surrounds himself with. It's also the story of strength, despair, pain, love, second, and third and fourth chances. And it is so much about grace, forgiveness and redemption.
    I loved this book, and I think, no I KNOW, that Jesse's story will stay wrapped in my heart for a while.
    They don't happen often, but I love a good book hangover. Limelight got me so drunk.
    Kudos, Ms. Santos.

    I have been listening to the Audiobooks in the NSB series and each and every single one has been brilliant. The characters are full of scares and pull you into their world. The narration has been superb. But Limelight, my god, this book, WOW. Alyson .. this book is so well written, it made me cry. And my god, Zachary Webber. The Narrator. Truly the best book I have even listened too. Well done to you both. Limelight is book 4 in the series, but can be a standalone. Highly recommend reading the series to get the most from the adventure of NSB crew.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Me Softly...
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 March 2018

    Alyson Santos is killing me. Killing me in only the best way. Alyson Santos stories are real to the point where I am on my knees. I am invested in her character driven narrative to the point I feel it is really real. These powerful stories can only be written by someone who knows this world well and has seen what happens when you are navigating the excesses of this world. The layers to Limelight are such that I am being sucked down deeper and deeper with each chapter. I am sucked down to the point where I feel as if I will not be able to take another breath. Each character is essential and is carefully crafted and fully realized. The writing is tight and literally whirls like a cyclone. In the center of this cyclone a group of strong players exist. I would say we have a strong couple but the fact is that the "secondary" characters are also primary players. This is new for me. I can always identify a primary couple and clear secondary characters but that is not the case here. This book is amazing, it is tragic, it is lyrical, it is magical, and at it's core it is a love song. We are on a journey with books by Alyson Santos and we are often exhausted when finished. Only books I consider essential bring me to this point. This is really a masterpiece and Aly's writing just keeps getting better and better. Thank you for allowing me into your magical world Aly. You have never disappointed me! denise bailey
