Description from the publisher:
Traditions are important. Especially in the South.

College football. Rivalries. Tailgating. Halftime shows.

Some things just don’t change.

Until Reese Holland shows up with her long legs and no-bullshit attitude to audition for the prestigious all-male Rodner University snare line.

It doesn’t matter how much hazing she has to endure from Laird Bronson, with his narrowed green eyes and arrogant smirk. She wants that damn spot, and she’s more than good enough to earn it.

She expects there to be tension. Even friction.

But not sparks hot enough to burn the entire campus down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DRUMLINE is a stand-alone romance.

I knew from the moment Stacy Kestwick announced the title that I just had to read this book.  I’ve always been a sucker for the drummers, but there is more to it than that.  I was on the drumline in college.  I wish I could say that I played snare, but I can promise that percussion, as a group, is an entirely different entity from the rest of the band.  Then, to top it off, the dedication is “For all the band geeks.”  This may be as close as I ever come to having a book dedicated directly to me, but I’ll take it.

Did the story live up to my preconceived hopes and dreams?  Surpassed and then some!  I loved the surprises, the fights, the many types of love, the misunderstandings, the understanding, the sweetness, and even the honestly portrayed evils of the world.  The characters are amazing – each unique and uniquely voiced. 

This is the first book I have read from Stacy Kestwick.  I hope to read many more from her in the future.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
