Sofia
One night.
No cuddling.
No sleepovers.
These are the rules I live my love life by. Running a business as a bar owner leaves no time for relationships—or their drama. But when I meet international rock star Brenner Reindhart, he makes me want to break all the rules . . .

Bren
Keeping Industrial November at the top of the best-selling charts for over eight years has taken a toll on me, and I’m ready to slow down.
I’ve been burned by love before, and I’m finally ready to try again. I think Sofia Ocampo might just be the one. Only, she has no plans to ever be in a relationship.
Aware she has no interest in it, I still give her my heart.
I can only hold my breath and hope she won’t break it.

***This high-steam, contemporary rock star romance contains adult content with some taboo elements not suitable for all readers. Read responsibly. All novels in the Industrial November on Tour series can be read in any order.***

From the Publisher

Hiding in the Smoke

A scorching-hot rock star romance

"Can I ask why you want to know about that song specifically?”

Sofia considers that for a moment. “I guess it stood out. All the other songs on that album are powerful and either angry or about having fun rock star style. They all fit together, except for ‘Late Night Legs.’”

“You would make a good music critic,” I say, and she rolls her eyes.

“Then there’s that one line . . .”

“Which one?” I ask.

“I think it’s something like, 'Late night legs, wrapped not around me.’ Your voice changes when you sing it. It’s a bit . . . broken. Like maybe you’re sad? I’m thinking someone hurt you, and that’s what the song is about?”

Rockstar Romance Done Right

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am kicking myself for waiting so long to read this book, but it was exactly what I needed when I read it.

This is a rockstar romance done right. It is emotional without being too angsty. Bren & Sophia are both STRONG characters. She owns her own bar and he is the lead singer for the world famous metal band Industrial November. Bren is the epitome of a possessive alphahole and Sofia constantly calls him on his crap. The push and pull between these two leads to some fantastic chemistry and explosive fights. They push past some uncomfortable limits to give each other things that they need, but they differ in a fundamental life goal and it becomes the main source of conflict. (That was a really wordy sentence without saying much, but I don't want to spoil this book because I want everyone to read it!)

I rooted for Bren and Sofia the whole time and I never felt too annoyed with either one of them even when they were being stupid. The conflict felt believable and in line with the personalities of both characters. I loved this book and will be immediately diving into the rest of the series.

*Note: This book is written in 1st Person Dual POV. Each chapter is in either Bren or Sofia's POV and there is one font for Sofia (which looks like my regular Kindle font) and one font for Bren (which looks like a bold version of my regular Kindle font). This annoyed me at first, but I didn't mind the further I got into the book. It actually helped if I was interrupted mid-chapter.

Hiding in the Smoke is a powerful story.

Hiding in the Smoke is a powerful story. The intensity of these two characters will leave you desperate for more. Bren and Sofia together are pure combustion. The chemistry flies off the pages when they are together. The attractions and sexual desire between them were enough to catch my kindle on fire. As the reader their connection and their chemistry were tangible. There are some hazy edges to their story that don’t fully come into focus for the characters until they both realize that they get to decide their course. That with love comes acceptance and understanding. I do feel like Bren still has a lot of growing to do as a man, but I think Sofia will help him get there.
This is a very angsty chemistry driven Rockstar romance. The angst makes sense for these two very headstrong and stubborn characters. The characters are complex but so enjoyable. If you like a strong female lead, whose power comes from her drive and determination you will want to read this book. This passion filled HEA is everything I needed and wanted

Messy, angsty and strong characters collide in this rockstar romance

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

It had been a hot minute since I had read a rockstar romance and I remember what I love about them.
The steam. The connection with someone NOT in the business and someone who can go toe to toe with such a strong personality. Ofelia Martinez gave us all this while also giving us one strong and independent heroine that took no crap from anyone, including a rockstar.

When Sofia is offered a ticket to see Industrial November she doesn't take it right away. Her friends/employees have to talk her into it because they love the band. She may be a fair-weather fan, but once she hears the lead singer perform a ballad with so much heart, she's hooked. Too bad when she has the chance to meet the band backstage, Bren (lead singer) doesn't impress her much. But with a chemistry like theirs that goes from hate to lust at a drop of a pin, they are mercurial goodness.

I loved having a strong independent woman like Sofia bring a man like Bren to his knees. But both of these characters had issues that sometimes bugged me. Sofia was literally a man eater and didn't want a lover for more than one night. She pushed Bren away for really no reason at all. And Bren wanted someone that wanted it all. He wanted more than one night, even if he didn't have a lot to give because he was in a band that toured. Who would make the other bend?

Hiding in the Smoke is a multicultural rockstar romance with a trope that isn't my favorite, but worked for these two characters and their journey. It allowed each of them to change their ways. Was it perfect? Heck no. The angst and the time that went by because of decisions made by each of them was real, but I also liked the messiness of their story. After reading this book that is a first in the series, I'm definitely intrigued and will check out more from this author and her rockstar romance!

Ofelia Martinez does not disappoint!

I discovered Ofelia Martinez through an advanced reader group online and have read each release to date. Each book gets better, and Hiding In The Smoke was no exception- it even got me out of my months long reading slump.

Sofia is a strong willed, independent business woman. Bren is, simply put, a Rock God, and the lead singer of Industrial November. Despite arguing every time they see each other, the chemistry between Sofia and Bren is off the charts. The friends that Sofia and Bren hold tightly in their circles add that extra layer to the story, making it that much more enjoyable.

If you’re a fan of rockstar romance, a strong female lead, and some super steamy scenes, Hiding In The Smoke is for you! I cannot wait to see what Ofelia has for us as we get to know the rest of the guys in Industrial November!

Ugh I hate coming up with review titles. Anyway this was a friend recommended read and I love that my book friends clearly have amazing taste. This book was HOT!! It was also well written and entertaining. The pacing is slow even though the romance isn’t really slow burn. Side note: I love this cover so much. This was a new to me author and I’m excited to see what more she has to offer.

Another charmer from Ofelia

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2021

This book had all the things that I love about this author, a badass heroine, a groveling hero, and a real look at their lives. Ofeila's heroines are the best, but I think Sofia is my favorite. I love how confident she is. She owns her sexuality and refuses to let anyone shame her for it. She and Bren are explosive! This book absolutely brings the spice. And I love how the love story is epic. Ofelia follows these characters through several years, through their ups and downs. And her epilogues are like a fun puzzle, as you see some of the other characters and try to guess how their book will go. I can't wait to see what's next from this author. I know I'll love reading it.
