The Hopping Hippos — Tirza Schaefer

Janis Ratliff has tried everything to find a job. She even tries for a position in the IT department of a record label. But Furmy, the manager of The Hopping Hippos, a world-famous rock band, has different ideas. He makes her the band's personal assistant and Janis delivers, whipping the young men into shape. What Furmy doesn't know is that Janis has two problems. The first is, she is in love with the sexy rockstars. The second is, they hate her. But Janis needs the job, so she keeps going until one day, drummer Wiggs sees colours… Trigger Warnings: This is a rockstar reverse harem romance which contains adult themes like explicit sexual content, including MM action and is therefore intended for a mature audience. There is mention of drug abuse and talking about overdosing (which doesn't happen in the story but is referred to), mental health issues and (initial) bullying of the new guy, Riot, by the old band members, although the matter is resolved fairly quickly. The Hopping Hippos is a standalone romance. However, it is part of a shared world, the Metaverse (check the author's website for more details) and the characters from this book will reappear in others from that shared world to a greater or lesser extent. Also, there is a sequel available for subscribers of the author's newsletter. Check the beginning of this book for a complete bibliography.
