Hamartia
A rockstar x kpop idol romance
The Blurb
Raphael
We met once two years ago - a few awful moments I’d rather forget - but he’s lived in my head ever since. Lee Jaehyun. K-pop idol and star of every filthy fantasy I have these days.
I should be thinking about the fact we just won our first Grammy, I should be focussing on our next album. I should be planning my wedding. But I’m not; I’m thinking about him. About what his mouth might taste like and what that body might look like under those carefully curated clothes. About how he might feel in my arms and what my name might sound like from his mouth when he’s turned on.
I’m not sure what this is; the near obsession I have with this guy, but it’s burrowed itself deep and refuses to give an inch. I’ll go insane if I can’t have him just once. Once to scratch the itch, douse the flames.
Except it turns out once isn’t enough, and it’s not dousing the flames it’s striking a match and I’m about to blow my entire life up.
Jaehyun
Raphael Scott is going to break my heart.
He’s an American rockstar, engaged to be married, and straight. He’ll get tired of whatever this is soon enough.
Then he’ll go back to his beautiful actress girlfriend and I’ll be alone again. I’m fine with that.
But it doesn’t mean I won’t take what he’s offering me right now. His shining American smile, his beautiful open heart, the desperate kisses he presses into my skin.
No, Raphael Scott won’t break me, nothing can. I’ve fortified myself against this sort of thing. My body, my art, all of it is armour. This soft American boy has no hope on earth of breaking it.

THIS BOOK! It fills my soul!
Hamartia by Scarlett Drake is the beautiful story of a "straight" rockstar and a K-pop idol falling in love. It is insta love for Rapha, but it doesn't take long for Jae to be enamored either. The book is rife with their struggles.
There are obvious difficulties, the fame the each of them live with, their insane schedules, distance. But they also both have internal issues, childhood abandonment and rejection, Jae's feelings of worthlessness, Raphael's past with women. In the end, none of it matters, they work hard to make their love beautiful.
I was so inspired by this story!
This lovely tale of an unlikely couple, who love each other so much, the only choice they have is to love each other fully and completely.
The steam is unparalleled!
The angst is real and the humor sweet. Well-written and just wonderful! I cannot recommend it loudly enough!
Couldn't put it down, but didn't want it to end!
I got a whole 3% into this book before I knew I loved it and immediately purchased the paperback.
Raphael is the lead singer of a rock band, and one night, out of the blue, he comes face to face with Jaehyun, a K-pop idol who literally flips his world upside down. He's never felt this way about anyone before - man or woman - and Rapha's life instantly becomes "Before Jae" and "After Jae." Everything else in his world takes a backseat - including his band and his fiancée.
Every single thing about this book was perfect.
This book has tropes I thought I didn't like (many I love too, don't worry), and yet it completely worked for me. And now I actually think I like the tropes I thought I didn't too! Every single thing about this book was perfect. I'm telling you, this book is ADDICTIVE. I didn't want to put it down, and yet I wanted to savor it because I knew it would be a book I wish I could read for the first time again. It's one of those stories that we're all searching for when we read: something that will sink its claws into you and not let go for the few hours in which you're reading; something that impacts you in a way you know you won't soon forget. I could go on and on about this book, but truly you just need to experience it for yourself.
You just need to experience it for yourself.
If you like rockstar romance, lust which evolves into all-encompassing love, and a HEA forged through perseverance in spite of mistakes, this book is for you.
