MELODY
The sexy as sin Marco, a man I never thought would be mine, asked me Melody Carmichael to marry him.
Two months before I became a Mrs., a job opportunity to film a documentary about rock n roller, Matthew Lee and his band, presented itself. My swirling doubts compelled me to pack a bag and spend two months on a tour bus. While I expected it to be a wild ride, I had no idea, my life, as I knew it, would never be the same.
SEAN
I had lost everything, my wife, my dog and my house within a blink of an eye. Without my career as a drummer for solo artist/best friend, Matthew Lee, I would have been adrift in the rocky seas, drowning underneath mounds of legal work and divorce proceedings.
Our upcoming tour was my opportunity to regain my focus but that was before, I found out documentary filmmaker, Melody Carmichael, would be capturing our every move. With her fire engine colored lips, raven black hair and a figure reminiscent of a 1950’s pin-up model she evoked dirty daydreams with a single glance.
As the professional lines between us blur, I make it my mission to prove to Melody putting your heart on the line is the greatest risk worth taking.

Review: Fight Faith by Brandie Buckwine
Fighting Faith
Brandie Buckwine
Eric’s band is on the verge of making the big time and life is good. But, when he’s forced to work with Faith, a sexy but hateful videographer, life for the foreseeable future might be a little rocky.
The tension between Eric and Faith is nearly tangible. Their troublesome friction abruptly becomes a lust-hate situation, fraught with vicious barbs and spite, but an explosive sexual chemistry that could burn them both, leaving nothing but a pile of ash in its wake. But Cupid has a wicked sense of humor and the two of them will find that the person you hate the most can sometimes rock your world the hardest.
3.5 Stars
A knock down, drag out, non stop hit you in the face story. Fighting Faith is truly a fight from beginning to end. At first meeting Eric is rubbed the wrong way by some constructive criticism from Faith. Taking the attraction he instantly has for Faith to level that has the fist flaring. Raw, rude and nothing is fair in lust and war. As the insults fly and the temperature rises, Eric and Faith will make your jaw drop. Good or bad? That remains to be seen.
I really like the gritty rawness of the story. I wish it had been a little longer. It moves fast and will more that catch your attention. Edgy and dirty, the one we care about the most can drive us insane the fastest.

Lick
Kylie Scott
Stage Dive Series, Book 1
4.5 StarsOne incredible ride.
Waking up married to a big name Rockstar and not knowing who he is can mess with a girls mind. Sometimes what happens in Vegas, does not stay in Vegas so Evelyn ” Ev” Thomas had learned! Overwhelmed does not even begin to describe.

I have had my eye on Lick by Kylie Scott for some time now. Why I had not pick this book up before now, I have no clue. I should also be smacking myself for it. LICK was amazing. I didn’t just get into this book. It consumed me. I devoured these almost 300 pages in just under three hours. Raw, adventurous and alluring. Lick is a book I have not stopped talking about.
Sex, drugs, rock and roll and everything in between. David and Ev have instant chemistry and passion. The wit shared between the two had me at page one. Ev is kind of a plain Jane. Going to school and working. Following in her father footsteps. She will fight you to the end and is willing to stick up for the underdog. Loved this about her. David, is everything you want a rock god to be. Looks, voice, money and fame. A romantic at heart, with a gentle soul, this bad boy just want to share his life.
This book is beyond sexy, well written and will draw you in. The characters are engaging, passionate and deep. Lick took me for one hell of a ride that I loved every minute of. Ms. Scott did one hell of a job giving the reader a steamy intense romance that puts the music in the spotlight as well as our couple. Book one made me a loyal reader to the Stage Dive series.
Review- Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh
Rock Addiction
Nalini Singh
Rock Kiss Series, Book 1
A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…
Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.
A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…
Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…
4.5 Stars
Being a fan of Rockstar romance, readers know there are only so many ways the story can go. For me, rock romance is indulging in the personalities of the characters and how the music is encompassed into the story. Rock Addiction, first book of Nalini Singh’s new series, goes beyond the cover and gets inside the complexities that come from being in the spotlight.
Lust and emotions over load when Molly takes lead singer Fox, up on the one in a million chance. An independent woman with a past that rattles her to the core more so than not. Intoxicated by the man and not just the star, indulging in Fox surfaces the past causing her to question and gear what could be. I enjoyed Molly, giving into fantasy through her off. Deep and intelligent, dating a rich Rockstar is way out of the box for her.
Fox, larger than life rocker, has an equally unforgiving past. He work his way to the top. Now he’s a guy who is still in love with his music but can get what he wants. I think love at first sight is an understatement for what Fox instantly feel for Molly. He rocks that girls world in more ways that one. Ways that would have caught this gal too! Sensitive, sexy and dominating this tattooed singer will make his way into your heart.
I never thought I would say I liked , yet loved a New Adult book. Ms. Singh made me do just that with ROCK ADDICTION! Highly intense on emotion and passion with some drama thrown in, made this book a page turner. Well written characters, blazing passion and a blood deep love of music expertly woven together to set Ms. Singh’s new series off with an amazing start. Rock romance done right!
