Chart topping U.S. rock band, Default Distraction have everything money can buy...

Brody Daniels, lead singer of DD has a life that many people envy. Money, fast cars, extravagant houses and a constant stream of beautiful women.
But he's tired of the rock n roll lifestyle, and so damn sick of the pretence.

He wants something real, something tangible...

Amy Harper has had more than enough of “real”. She has nothing to call her own. Unless you count a large overdraft and a struggling village shop.

She's so tired of pushing against the tide, just for once she wants to be swept away with it...

An accidental meeting is all it takes for Brody to claim the reality he wants.
A few stolen moments are all Amy has to give, before once again her reality consumes her.

Can he convince her to take a chance on him when experience tells her to walk away?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An amazingly incredible start to a new series from A.S. Roberts. Amy Harper is just a small town girl, running her nan's shop in England. One night an unknown, handsome American came into the shop. The pull was immediate but he was a stranger. Fate had its own plans and their paths would cross again. Emotional, steamy, and once you are drawn into this story you will never want to leave. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and more from the band Default Distraction." - D. Seymour.

Brody (Default Distraction Book1)
By AS Roberts
Rated 5 stars!

Brody...Brody...Brody why are you so amazing? Thank goodness I didn’t know you in your previous life because ick but they way you are now?....i love it! A seriously new book boyfriend here. He is hot, sexy and has a great mouth. Wait that came out wrong. I mean he is great with words....but the other thing too. He is so thoughtful and I love the gentleman in him as well as the bossy man he becomes. I loved reading his thoughts but his sweet gestures and honesty did me in! And the connections he has to Amy.....all I can say is ELECTRIC!

Nan was a wonderful character and due to Amy’s feelings and the way the author wrote I could imagine her soft hands, touches and comforting gestures. She is a smart one and her words of wisdom will be replayed in my head as much as Amy’s. When Amy spent the night with her later in the book. It was so sweet. Them holding hands. I loved that!

The girlfriends (Winter, Amy and Lauren) are such fun to read about. They get along so well and joke around along with offering each other sweet advice. The band members (Cade, Liam, Brody and Raff) offer the same family atmosphere to each other as the girls do. There is some joking and fun so I can only imagine what will happen when their stories come out.

In this story a few characters are mentioned as being there for a wedding. Those characters are from her previous series (Fated). It was a nice touch to add them and any previous fans of that series will enjoy their add.
I enjoy all of A.S. Roberts stories. They are filled with love of heart, fun times, love of family/friends and sometimes some suspense. I see there is going to me more for this series and I can not wait! Rafferty and Lauren are going to walking down the road next.

Brody’s quote before Dedication...truer words have never been spoken. Sadly we usually realize that once we have regrets. Plus can I just say...what an amazing cover! I think it’s his eyes that captivate me!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of chemistry
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018
Brody by A.S. Roberts is the first book in the Default Distraction series. If you like all things music and rock and roll then this is definitely a book for you.
Surely if you have everything anyone could dream of then you must be happy, right? Wrong. At least it is for Brody Daniels, lead singer of the chart topping US rock band Default Distraction. He is bored of the lifestyle, of the cars, the money, the women. But more than anything he is bored of the pretence. Of convincing everyone that he is happy all the time. He wants something more from his life. Something more than he can get from the music and the fame.
Amy Harper on the other hand definitely has something more. She has more debt than he will ever have. She has more struggles with her business than he will ever have. And she has definitely had more than enough of it all.
So what happens when the two of them meet? What happens when their worlds collide? Can they go back to their realities? Or can they push for something more, together?
This book has everything you could possible want. Hot rock star? Check. Strong woman? Check. Of the charts chemistry? Double check! I absolutely loved Brody and Amy together. I felt their connection and their chemistry from the instant they met. I found myself being swept away by their attraction. And this book wasn’t all about the connection. The story was such a good one because it was so relatable – we have all at one point or another wanted something more than we had. Even if we should have been happy with what we had. The writing keeps pace with this story beautifully and really holds your attention. Anyone who wants to be swept away needs to buy this book immediately.

Brody (Default Distraction Book 1)
By: A.S. Roberts
5 out of 5 stars

The story Brody (Default Distraction Book 1) by A.S. Roberts is a contemporary romance book that includes one handsome lead singer of a rock band and the woman that he meets in a small village. It has a storyline that grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. I loved the characters of Brody Daniels and Amy Harper. Brody is a man that can have any woman he wants. The success of the band Default Distraction has them falling around his feet. What Brody really wants is a woman to see him for who he truly is. He believes he has found that someone in Amy. Amy Harper is a woman who doesn’t go out and take chances. The past has made it hard to trust others. When these two first see each other they are confused as to the feelings that they are having. There is an almost instant connection/attraction to each other. The pull towards each other is strong. Will Amy take a chance and start a relationship with Brody? Unlike past women, Amy is someone that Brody can see a future with. Will he convince her that their future is together? Read this book to find out if Amy and Brody get an HEA. I loved reading the bantering that goes back and forth between Brody and Amy. They are two people who I grew to care about and wanted them to end up together. I also enjoyed reading about the many other characters that you are introduced to and interact with Amy and Brody. This is a well-written story that I would highly recommend reading. It is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars emotional
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020

A little bit sweet and romantic, a little bit sad and troubled and a little bit angsty and steamy. This is a whole mix up of emotions based around this hot damaged alpha rock star and an equally damaged but sassy young shop / cafe worker. I was pulled in and held captive throughout with a fast flowing paced plot line, only putting it down when real life pulled me away, oh and I've already bought and downloaded book two and will be diving in as soon as I can. This is the second series by this author that I have read and loved , having already read the Fated Series. I must admit though this one was bought originally for the cover since I follow and support both the model and the photographer but I'm am so pleased to say it was well worth it and to have Johnny Kane (the model) as my Brody image while reading made it even more enjoyable

This is the first of A S Roberts books I've read but certainly won't be the last.

For some reason this book has been sitting on my kindle for some time. I started reading it 2 days ago and couldn't put it down. The characters are so easy to get involved with and the whole book is well written and thought out.

I've already moved on to the second in the series.

Thoroughly recommended

Brody is the first book in a wonderful new series, Default Distraction, by the supremely talented A.S. Roberts. This is a superb Rockstar romance that had me captivated right from the very first page. It’s full of passion, some suspense, drama, secrets, emotion, romance, chemistry, humour, and all the elements necessary to make this a riveting read.
Amy Harper has had her fair share of heartache, it has left her wary of getting close to anyone, because then she couldn’t be hurt when she was cast aside in the end. She has her beloved grandmother, a few close friends, and the little shop she holds so dear. The business is struggling to keep afloat, but Amy really hopes to somehow find a way to turn things around. In her small community in rural England, everyone knows everyone, so she is surprised when a sexy stranger finds his way into her shop. She’s intrigued by him and can’t seem to get him off her mind, long after he’s gone. With Christmas just around the corner, and her shop closing for the holidays, her cousin persuades her to help out at the opening of the newly renovated Manor, an historic old estate that has been converted into a luxury hotel. So, in the hope of earning some much-needed funds, Amy agrees. Fate seems to keep placing her in situations where she runs into her mystery man, more often than not it’s being rescued by him. Things heat up between them, and they soon find themselves unable to resist the intense chemistry that surges between them. But Amy’s past experiences soon have her pushing him away and running from her feelings. Will her fear of heartache cause her to miss a chance of finding happiness?
Brody Daniels is the lead singer of the massively successful band, Default distraction. His fame has afforded him the wealth and all the luxuries that one could ever wish for, not to mention all the women falling at his feet. Even so, he feels like something is missing from his life. The Rockstar lifestyle isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. He and his bandmates have purchased The Manor and put a lot of time and money into restoring it to it’s former glory. While in town for the grand opening, he notices a gorgeous woman and is immediately captivated by her. He can’t stop thinking about her and desperately wants to get to know her. He doesn’t do relationships, so this is a new experience for him. After walking into her shop just so he had an excuse to talk to her, he finds himself coming to her rescue several times. One thing leads to another and he spends an unforgettable night with her. Amy proves to be a little skittish, but he won’t let her push him away, he’s determined to prove to her that he’s worth taking a chance on. But will his secret be the thing that drives them apart?
There is sooo much to love about this book, I really feel that I am not doing it the justice that it truly deserves. You really should read it for yourself and discover all the deliciously sexy details for yourself.
Ms. Roberts writes so beautifully- she has a real talent for getting her story and characters to really connect with the reader, pulling them in and captivating them with her words. The energy and tension she is able to create in her stories, and between the characters, is truly masterful. I can’t imagine anyone reading her stories and not enjoying every word.
The characters are really well written, full developed and wonderfully endearing. I loved everything about them. I also felt for them, my heart ached hearing their back stories and I wanted to give them both a massive hug. I loved meeting all the secondary characters as well, and watching some of the groundwork being laid out here for their own stories in the future. I can’t wait to read every intriguing detail!!
This book has a great pace, there isn’t a dull moment to be found anywhere- it flows smoothly and is a joy to read. But be prepared for a book binge, as you won’t want to put it down! I read it in one session, staying up long past my bedtime just so I didn’t have to put it down before knowing what would happen.
Bring on book two!

Thank you, Ms. Roberts!

Look I don’t know if this just isn’t what I needed to read right now, or if it’s something else. This book just wasn’t my cup of tea. There were lots of things I liked - Amy’s relationship with her Nan, the description of caring for someone with dementia, the discussion of small village life…they were all wonderful. I loved seeing that the people around her were t just sidekicks, they had their own lives.
I think I just didn’t click emotionally with Amy and Brody, and I’m okay with that. I still enjoyed the story.

Brody and Amy’s story was amazing. Both broken and mistrusting in similar ways. Being left by their parents when they were young and all the anger that went with it has marred their lives to this point. When they meet and have an amazing week together then the mistrust rears it’s ugly head again threatening to spoil any chance at happiness. Can they get through this or are they destined to lose what they have found. What a great story and can’t wait to read more of the series.
