Underdogs Series
Blurb
---Years of loving in secret. Now the secret’s out.---
Mage. Reasonable. Mature. In love with his best friend’s little brother.
Dawn. Painfully shy. Crazy talented. An anxious cinnamon roll in need of protection.
Mage has always been Dawn’s hero. He’s been there for him when Dawn was bullied, when Dawn came out, and when he joined The Underdogs. He’s also been Dawn’s first and only love—painfully unrequited, since Mage is straight. But that’s only for the better, because they’re bandmates, and Dawn’s brother is Mage’s best friend.
It would all be too intense, too complicated, too real.
But then one drunken kiss proves Mage might not be as straight as he seemed, and their whole world turns upside down. Even though Dawn craves Mage’s love so much his heart could burst, his shyness stands in the way of any future they could share.
While they have to keep their budding relationship under wraps and they prepare to sign a major record deal, Dawn’s anxiety gets out of control. Mage will have to choose between the success he’s always craved and the love of his life.

Review
I'm not one to read a book about rockstars. For some reason they put me on edge and make me so nervous, so I've not read books 1&2. Reading the blurb and listening to the girls talk about Dawn and Mage in their group (and that gorgeous fucking cover) really peaked my interest. I decided to give this one a shot and I'm glad I did.
Coming in on the 3rd book wasn't confusing at all, they did a great job giving a bit of info without overdoing it for those who have read the other books.
Dawn is this fragile, sweet thing, but I never once saw him as weak. He really proves in the end too that he cannot be trampled on, not even by his band mates, brother and love of his life.
I really like Mage (Magnus). He's so headstrong but calm in just about every situation. He knows the way he wants the band to go and is always mindful, especially of Dawn. The way he wants to protect him and all his "sweetness" is adorable. Yup, I said it...a KA Merikan book is adorable lol
That being said, it's still an emotional book, both of worry and of happiness.
I may even suck it up and read the first 2 books :)

K.A. Merikan are a team of writers who try not to suck at adulting, with some success. Always eager to explore the murky waters of the weird and wonderful, K.A. Merikan don’t follow fixed formulas and want each of their books to be a surprise for those who choose to hop on for the ride.
K.A. Merikan have a few sweeter M/M romances as well, but they specialize in the dark, dirty, and dangerous side of M/M, full of bikers, bad boys, mafiosi, and scorching hot romance.
