Publisher's Summary

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.  

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull - but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.  

When she laughed - and I mean, really laughed - I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.  

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks”. Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.  

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.  

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Sweet love story

A very sweet love story from start to finish. Ally and Fish are like the “supporting” characters you want to see get together because they are the kind hearts of their drama-drama-drama friend circles who deserve to be stars in their own rights. Like other reviewers, I LOVED the musical performances.

Soul Mates

This was a fun, sweet take on love at first sight, soul connecting romance. The main characters are both innocent when it comes to love, just in different ways, but they do recognize their connection from the start. Allie is a 19-year-old music college student and Fish is a rock star from one of her favourite bands. They connect while talking about music and being real with each other.

The story had me laughing at moments and sighing at others. Characters from other stories are very present in this story. I love when you get to see characters from previous stories years later – that glimpse into where their lives/stories have gone after the end of their book. While I loved the romance, I enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship between the main characters and the people in their lives. I enjoyed this story. It’s low on the angst and high on the heat.

I listened to this book on audio and enjoyed the narrators very much. They were easy to follow regardless of the speed at which I listened, and they changed their voices enough that there was a distinction when they were speaking for other characters.

Great Read

Lauren Rowe is a talented author who brings life to her stories. I followed her reference to music by looking the artist up on YouTube. I followed her reference to OMGyes.com and was intrigued. I have listened to all her books about 22 Goats, River Records, and etc. Great flow to the books and very interactive. I could not put this book down. It was a happy loving and sexy read. Loved this book and recommend it.

Outstanding audiobook!

Wow, I'm flabbergasted by this audiobook!!! Including fireflies, during a concert scene and smitten during the birthday bash was so brilliant!!! It added so much to the story and the experience, it blew me away!!!
Smitten is the story of Fish, the 22 goats bassist and Alessandra, Georgina's sister. It includes all the characters of the Lauren Rowe epic series, as well as a sweet/hot love story. I have loved every single book of this writer, listened to every audiobook and wonder what is next!!!

Storyline was ok..

Storyline was OK however a bit juvenile for my liking. I would’ve liked it better if the author had made the characters a little bit older. I thought they were a little too young given the sexual nature of the book

A Fun & Cute Story

This was a nice summer read, the storyline flowed easily and there was good character development. The narrators were easy to understand, and there were a few musical interludes that I found to be enjoyable and added a nice touch to the story as a whole.

Such a cute story......

I was so excited to see this story get done. I loved their love story! To me they were cute, awkward soul mates right from the start. Also, loved the music and singing in the book!!! So fun! Andi and Tim were fantastic!! 💕 Even though this could be a stand-alone you need to go and take the full journey to really value its whole goodness. Also it’s such a freaking amazing series!!!
