The Van Birch Incident: A Forbidden Rockstar Romance

Written by Marla HOlt

Narrated by Kelsey-Ann O'Dowd and Brian Meslar

Van Birch: Pop Star. A-list starlet. Off-limits.

Clay Noble has spent the better part of a decade avoiding his taboo obsession: His stepsister Van. In love with her since the first time he’d heard her sing, even shipping himself off to the army couldn’t stop thoughts of her. Now that he’s lost everything in a tornado, he’s forced to move back in with the only family he has left, Van and her dad. Sleeping down the hall from her is forcing every unwanted impulse back to the surface. 

 Clay Noble: Gorgeous. Infuriating. Untouchable. 

 Everything Van touches turns to gold with a side of outrageous. When she accuses her manager of sexual assault, the public thinks it's just another one of her publicity stunts and the backlash is brutal. Wounded, she dashes home to a tornado-devastated Wellville, Kansas to heal and help rebuild, even though the constant stream of social media doubts and threats won't let her rest. But there’s another reason for her sleepless nights and fevered dreams. Clay is back, hotter than ever, and his lingering glances and stolen moments have her convinced the feelings she’s fought for so long may not be one sided after all.

Reviews for The Van Birch Incident

[Destiny Hall · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Loved the book, although the male narrator sounded a bit robotic.
