'So much fun! Portia Macintosh doesn’t shy away from the gritty realities of the rockstar life, yet she still makes you want to be a part of it' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Couldn't put this down' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Off the Record is the prequel novella to million copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh’s Love on Tour.

Being best friends with a mega-star has its perks, and music journalist Nicole Wilde takes full advantage of them.

But it also has its responsibilities. When lead singer Dylan King disappears the night before a charity gig, it’s up to Nicole to track him down.

Half a dozen groupies, a haunted hotel, a tattoo parlour, a reality show runner-up and a crazy bed-hopping, sleepless night later – will she find him before the tour bus leaves town? And when she does, is it time to head home? Or to jump on the tour bus and go along for the ride?

Always love series! Always love Portia

Love the characters, I left wanting to keep in touch! The story is fun, silly and bouncy filled with fresh and witty dialogue.

It’s ok

It’s a very short story. Not worth than one credit I spent on it. I listen to a lot of her books. This one was my least favorite.

Rip off one hour 36 min

I'd like my credit back, the story was boring and the cost was too high for such a short story

don’t waste your money with this one

I haven’t looked at the publication date, although this says it was released this year, but appears to be a short story, or some pre-conceived notion of what a bigger book might be, but this is really badly done, and it’s about example of Porsche Macintosh’s work. I’ve run lots of her books and every once in a while I run into just one that’s aimed at 16 year-old as far as I can tell, and those are 16 year-old reading a magazine while they’re waiting to get their meals done
