About Still Into You by Erin Connor

When elusive metal frontman Dax Nakamura agrees to give his first interview in years, he has one condition: his ex, Sloane Donavan, has to write it.
Bad-boy-turned-straight-edge frontman, Dax Nakamura, would prefer the skeletons in his closet to stay there, thank you very much. But not giving interviews didn’t stop the press from writing about one of metal’s biggest bands–or its lead vocalist. With their new album about to drop, Dax is finally ready to address the rumors that have plagued Final Revelations for the past eight years. And the only person he trusts to write it is the same person who broke his heart three summers ago.
Sloane Donavan knew she wanted to write about music since the first time she posted a MySpace blog for her neighbor’s garage band. A journalism degree, a failed internship, and countless backstage passes later, Sloane still hasn’t secured the dream job she left her dream man behind for. So when Dax shows back up with a career-making opportunity–exclusive insight into him, his band, and the chance to craft the narrative of one of the scene’s most revered bands–Sloane agrees, with one stipulation: No one can know they’re exes. As they dive into Dax’s past, Sloane quickly realizes their history isn’t the only thing he’s hiding, and Sloane has a choice to make. The article Dax wants and the salacious tell-all Sloane’s editor expects are two completely different stories. This is the big break she’s been waiting for, but it comes with a price: the chance to rewrite the ending with her first and only love.

Still Into You by Erin Connor Book Review

What a ride!

Still Into You was my first read by Erin Connor and I can’t wait to go back and read Unromance. Second chance romances are my absolute jam and I couldn’t tell you the last time that I read a romance with a band. And well, this was a first for a metal band! Can’t say that I’ve listened to a lot of Metal before, but I was totally digging it in this book.

Tension and chemistry, probably the main character here, I mean, besides our leading characters, Sloane and Dax. But you could absolutely feel it right from the first chapter, just oozing through the pages. As much as I was hoping for that dual POV, I like that we were able to see how Dax was in the past. Sloane recalls back on a lot of memories they shared. Even though that time was short, it made enough of an impact on them in the present day. I love stories like that!

I like how Sloane’s interview was interwoven into the storytelling. It was definitely humorous at times, but we see the many layers of not only the band, but Dax as well. He has definitely overcome so much during the past decade.

I was still a little surprised she was holding herself back when a decision needed to be made about Dax. And I’ll admit, that got me a little frustrated. But Dax was also true to his word too, that he would fight for her. Ah, the squealing.

Also, I vote for a very specific showdown between another journalist because that definitely needs to happen. For now, I’ll keep imagining that scene in my hand.

What a beautifully written story of Sloane and Dax! There were so many things to love about this one, the band culture, the amazing friendships and families, I loved it all. I can’t wait to read more by Connor!
