Off the Record
Author: Taylor Danae Colbert
Genre: Contemporary Romance
“Dax Thatcher?” I ask. “But isn’t he sorta. . .old?”
Ugh. Celebrities. I mean, I know I took a job as a reporter for the Celebrity and Pop Culture department of our magazine, but it was just supposed to be a stepping stone to the more real stuff.
Despite the fact that Dax Thatcher was the subject of many of my teen fantasies--and I may or may not have an entire playlist dedicated to his music--he’s still just another star.
Until I meet him. Until his golden eyes pierce through me that day on his Malibu deck. Until I find myself having dinner with him, going backstage with him, lying on the beach with him.
And then I remember my assignment: a four-issue feature on Dax Thatcher. . .and his upcoming wedding.
I have to focus. I’m a serious journalist, and he is in a serious relationship. But that doesn’t stop me from wondering what those tattooed arms might feel like wrapped around me, or how soft the sheets on his California king bed are.
Yikes. This celebrity stuff might be a little more real than I thought.
It’s quiet for a few minutes. I’m not sure what’s running through his head, but I’m sitting here trying to figure out what this is. Is he this nice to everyone that interviews him? Does he make this much time for all reporters?
“Your, uh, ink is showing,” he says, and I catch myself staring ahead blankly.
“Huh?”
He points to my shoulder, which my sweater has abandoned and is sliding down off of. I move quickly to pull it back up.
“I wouldn’t have pegged you for the tattoo type,” he says, sitting back in his chair.
“Then you’ll be interested to know that I actually have four,” I say, sitting back in mine, trying to exude the same confidence that he is. I feel his eyes scanning my body again, searching all my exposed skin. I point down at my wrist at the half-heart.
“My sister has the other half,” I say.
He nods.
I pull my sweater back again, showing him my shoulder. “These are the coordinates of the apartment I grew up in in Brooklyn.”
He nods again, squinting his eyes to see it.
I lift my hair and turn away from him slightly.
“This is just some dumb design I got when I turned eighteen,” I say, letting him scope out the idiotic starburst that trails down the back of my neck. I had drawn it up on a napkin the morning I became legal. It was my first attempt at rebelling, but my parents brushed it off, taking away all the fun.
I drop my hair and turn back toward him.
“And the fourth one?” he asks. I feel my cheeks flush, and I shrug.
“Not for public viewing,” I say, taking a slow sip of my wine.
His eyes flicker with something—a combination of intrigue and impatience, maybe. Then he leans forward, clasping his hands on the table.
“So you’re saying I should take you somewhere private?” he whispers, and my wine breath catches in my throat. I’m all flustered, but I need to keep my shit together. I need to figure out where his head is. I snap myself back to reality, trying desperately to hold on to that fake confidence I had earlier. I lean forward.
“Do you take all of the reporters that interview you somewhere private?” I ask. He leans back slightly, raising an eyebrow at me, that panty-dropping half-smile creeping over his lips.
“Only the ones who’ve seen me naked,” he says, dabbing at his perfect mouth with a napkin.
I swallow.
“And how many is that? Twenty? Thirty?” I ask. He shakes his head.
“One.”

If you ask Shay Kellner she would much rather spend her days writing stories about current events, in other-wards relevant news with meaning. Not writing glitz and glam pieces about celebrities. You know, stories about who wore what best, whose hooking up with who, or which celeb is headed down the aisle.
But, sometimes you have to do things you don't necessarily want to, to get where you want to be... which explains her current situation to a tee. She is working on a special story about music legend Dax Thatcher and his blushing bride-to-be Annalise Michaels. While she has to admit spending time with the sexy rock star is somewhat appealing, it's not exactly a story she would prefer penning. He has had a starring role in her fantasies since she was a teen, but swooning over him in front of his bride-to-be probably isn't the best way to get her story. So she is just going to have to keep her crush under-wraps and focus on the task at hand. Which sounds easy enough... that is until she is face to face with the sexy rock God!
Off the Record is uber sexy little page-turner that will keep you mesmerized from the first page until the last! This first time read did not disappoint, it had angst to torture the heart, unexpected twists and turns, drama to keep me engaged, and steamy scenes that scorched my fingertips! I loved meeting this couple, they had amazing chemistry, came with a palpable feel, and I found them very easy to connect to. This is by far one of my favorite reads so far this year, it had everything I want in a story, and SO much more! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it's perfectly penned words are sure to leave your heart happy!
