From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a story in her Stage Dive series…
When the Stage Dive crew decides to help, they do it in a big way.
Nanny and housekeeper Jude has been going through a dry patch. Getting ready to dip her toes back into the dating pool is a little nerve racking. And the offers of assistance from her boss, David Ferris, and his band are not helping. Right up until music producer Dean Jennings arrives to work on the band’s latest album.
But Dean is more than a little wary of dating anyone with anything to do with the Stage Dive crew after losing Lena to lead singer Jimmy Ferris all those years ago. Can Jude a) Convince the crew to stay out of her business and b) Woo the man of her dreams?
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
For all of us Stage Dive fans, this novella was a great look back into our favorite band and family. Ev and David’s nanny, Jude, is the main female in this story along with Lena’s ex/Jimmy’s rival for her attention, Dean. Now we all love Dean and felt bad for him, so I was happy to see him get an HEA along with Jude.
Jude and Dean find each other sharing space at Ev and David’s guest house. She is stunned stupid at how beautiful and nice he is. He seems a bit smitten by the crazy woman in fuzzy socks. When the ladies essentially force Jude to admit what she was feeling, they of course, decide to help. LOL Poor Jude.
The novella is a quick read into Jude and Dean facing a lot of issues like super model ex’s, super fans, and some old school teenage crush issues. Serious the epilogue had me laughing so hard. I love this group and this novella makes me what to reread the series again.

I love anytime I can get a Stage Dive book in my hands. I love all these characters and enjoy seeing them all again. This quick little read is about Dean and Jude.
Jude is Ev and David’s nanny who stays in the guest house. Dean who is Stage Dive’s record producer is also staying in the guest house for a bit. Jude is attracted to Dean but leery of pursuing Dean because of the connection to her boss. Dean is also leery of getting with Jude after loosing Lena. They have an instant attraction that even with them being cautious they feel the pull to one another. Once the Stage Dive crew sees the attraction between Dean and Jude all bets are off to get these two together.
I enjoyed seeing Dean and Jude getting to know each other. There is a bit of drama but it is short lived. Not sure I would handle things as Jude did if someone came in unannounced and ate my dinner. JUST Saying. She is such a better woman than I am. I enjoyed seeing Mal and Anne, Ev and David, Lena and Jimmy and getting more of a glimpse of their lives. I love this Series so much.
