A rockstar is a performer in a band who commands the most attention on stage. The primary duty of a rockstar is to write songs and gather the audience’s attention. So first of all, they want to join an ongoing band or create their band. If you’re going to create your band, you need some of the people who can be your band members and have a good knowledge of music.
The essential requirement for a band is a guitarist, a drum player, a keyboard player, and a musician. All of these make a musician a complete rockstar. In the books with rockstar romance, we see the internal/external. The internal romance forms between band members or musicians. Moreover, external romance forms between rockstars and fans. Most authors talk about external romance because the readers like to read it very much.

1. Blame It on the Tequila
It is the second book in the Blame It On The Alcohol series. You do not have to read the first one whatsoever to understand this book. This one follows Nova and Parker, and they are step-siblings. Their parents had divorced when they were younger, and growing up, they used to write music together.
Parker had a band in Nova that would like to write songs. Then she even started to perform with them. Something happens where then she stays behind, and Parker and the band get a deal. They go out on the road, and they’re off touring, singing, making music.
Nova does her own thing and figures it out on her own. Presently, Parker and Nova get reconnected, and Parker has difficulty writing music. His record label is on struggle mood. They’re hiring a songwriter, and they’re coming on tour with her. So they’re back on tour again, and it’s so fun. This is a good band dynamic where the band members get along well and a good friend group.
Also, it’s more focused on the drama between Nova and Parker and overcoming the past and the things that happened. So it has the step-sibling trope, the childhood friends to enemies to lovers, and the rock star element to it.

13. Smitten
This one doesn’t have quite so much a rockstar feel. It is much sweeter, but both of the characters here are musicians. Fish is the drummer in a band called 22 Goats. Alessandra was finally starting to make it big, and it was their relationship.
So they are both musicians, and we see quite a lot of them performing. The audiobook is fantastic because the music automatically plays when they are performing, and there is a point in this book where he sings to her on stage, and it is so sweet.
