Book Synopsis
It was lyrics at first sight when I saw Violet Rhodes across that crowded party. She was lights and darks, swirled together. Music in motion. And all of it while looking like a hitwoman at an Elvis convention.
I had nothing to offer the intriguing girl but a one-night stand. I figured I’d revel in my last night of anonymity before my first tour and shoot her a quick “We’ll always have L.A.!” goodbye the next morning. But nothing went according to plan. In one night, Violet crawled under my skin and into my bloodstream. She tattooed her name across my chest and between my legs. She became my muse. And then she was gone. Now, months later, here she is again. And in a twist I never saw coming, it turns out Violet is ultra-violet radiation. Beautiful, ethereal light bringing with her the promise of damage and destruction. My brain tells me to walk away from this girl, but my heart can’t stop feeling like she might be one of a kind . . . the sort of girl who comes along once in a violet moon. |
My Review
Having read every single book that Rowe has written, I have to admit I was putting off reading this title because I simply didn’t want the epic journey to end. But, if it had to end, what a way to go!
Emerging as an up and coming rock star, Dax Morgan has the love and support of his family and is about to have everything he ever dreamed of and worked so hard to obtain. Then in the blink of an eye his life changes, when he sees her across a crowded room. Violet wasn’t looking for anyone or anything to complete her. She had a hard life, but in seeking healing, she found a love in herself and had a giving spirit within that drew people to her. Still, there was a small part of her that always felt as though something was missing, that is until she connected with a man that literally rocked her world. Dax Morgan was magnetic, formidable, and completely blew my mind as this story unfolded! As a Morgan, Dax always knew he came from an amazing family, full of love and support, but it wasn’t until he met Violet that he realized how phenomenal his family truly was, and that woman changed the course of his life. Woven through a complex story, lays the heart of a family man, which will defend those he loves to the ends of the Earth. A man first and foremost believes that love, honesty and family is more important than fame. Through trials and tribulations Dax and Violet persevere and fit together perfectly, body and soul. This review does NO justice for just how great this book was, nor how much love I have for the Morgan family members. What I can say without a doubt is that Rockstar is simply an incredible way to end the Morgan family legacy! As Always, Happy Reading! |
Book Synopsis
It starts with a bang.
As in me and Hadley, the maid of honor, during my brother’s wedding reception. Sure, it was amazing, but I’m a one-and-done kind of guy. After spending years of my life getting screwed over by managers and agents with the Ryder Brothers, I no longer like to commit. I don’t even play music anymore. The secret that I haven’t told anyone- is that I can’t. A chance to raise money for my best friend’s nonprofit to help child stars means it’s time to deal with my block. Hiring Hadley seems like the obvious solution. She wants inside my head (not happening). I want to bang her again (she says she can’t sleep with clients). Between my baggage and her professionalism, can my problem even be fixed? Or will we both end up just wanting more? |
My Review
Everyone can always use a little bit of help in life; even those whose professions are to help others live their best lives. That is what our sensitive, giving, and hard-working, life-coach Hadley soon discovers.
Born to help others, Hadley begins to doubt her efficiency as a life coach. Not sure if she is helping her clients enough and unsure as to the direction of her own life, Hadley surprises herself when she does something completely out of character. She has a one-night stand with a famous rocker. Former boy-band rocker, Jonas has been taking care of others all of his life. He is burned out and over everything that once brought him joy in the field of music. So, ever the playboy, Jonas figures a one-night stand at his brother’s wedding will take his mind off his problems for a while, as it is one of his only coping mechanisms for living. But he had no idea that his thoughts would continue to consume him once he had a taste for Hadley. While neither Jonas nor Hadley can stop thinking about the other, months after their first rendezvous, it becomes clear that they may have more at risk than a hot chemical connection with one another. They may just be what the other needs in their life to find a peace within themselves that they weren’t sure was possible. Allowing someone in and seeing your vulnerabilities is a harrowing task that can uproot many other weeds in the garden so to speak. So, will these two be able to help one another or will the pressure prove to be too much? That is a question for you to find out when you read the last installment of the Ryder Brothers trilogy. As Always, Happy Reading! |

My Review
Miller Hart quickly stole my heart in Lauren Blakely’s newest novel staring this charismatic man and his best friend, Ally as they navigate the winding roads between friendship, working together and facing the laws of physical attraction.
I have had many book-boyfriend crushes over the years from the pages of Lauren’s books, but Miller has by far taken the number one spot. He was written to perfection, as not just a good guy, but as someone you would want around you all the time! With his genuine magnetism towards people and decadent personality, I felt like I was falling in love myself. If you want to truly forget your troubles and enjoy a story that feels so real you might think you are reading non-fiction – a story about what it feels like to really let yourself fall in love, then this is the book for you! As Always, Happy Reading! |
Book Synopsis
Welcome to Hollywood, where wet dreams come true.
I fell for Marlee the second I met her- gorgeous smile, unimpressed by my stardom… bendy. Not even remotely interested in me. Of course the girl of my dreams has to be engaged to her hometown high-school sweetheart. Nothing’s ever easy, right? Until they break up. And she moves in with me. The only person who can help her practice for her next role is me. Because Marlee isn’t just new to Hollywood. She’s a virgin. |
My Review
Hollywood can be a tough town to navigate, even when you have incredible connections. So when Hollywood veteran Jake, meets Marlee, the newly transported and beautiful woman from the out of town, he is drawn to help her in any way that he can. Only he has no idea just how much help she will need!
I was pulled into this story within the first few pages by the palpable chemistry between these fun-loving roommates turned best friends. It was hard not to love the two characters independently, and even more so, as we saw began to see their friendship transform. Leaving their incredible friendship aside, the two shared a sizzling connection that was like dynamite just waiting to go off. This story was not only a hot romance that continued to build, but it was also endearing story. I feel hard for both of these characters to the point that this book left me “wanting” to continue to see what their love story had in store. As Always, Happy Reading! |
Book Synopsis
Everyone wants to get close to a rock star.
The bright lights. The music. Those talented fingers strumming… a guitar. Everyone wants to bang a rock star. So why do I keep running from the one who wants me? I’m America’s Sweetheart. I have a reputation. He’s a boy-band icon turned rock god. I’m vanilla. He’s every flavor of bad. And he’s much, much too young for me. If I end up in Nick Ryder’s bed, my career and I will both be screwed. ...but that’s only if I’m caught. |
My Review
This was an absolutely phenomenal book! The heat and chemistry between Natalia and Nick was as hot as molten lava throughout this book! I often found myself wanting to get closer to this fabulous couple, so I too could experience everything they were experiencing.
There is so much more I want to say about this title but I feel that doing so will take away all that there is to discover about this couple and their journeys to self-discovery and love. Having read nearly every single book by Laurelin Paige, I can honestly say that this may be one of the best books that she has ever written. I still want more from this new, amazing couple that she has created! As Always, Happy Reading! |
Book Synopsis
My brother's best friend has a proposition for me. Have I mentioned he's a sexy single dad? Tell me more...
There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn't the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He's friends with my brother, he's a single dad, and he's a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don't-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign. Then he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion, and the night unfolds in ways I never expect. *** I have three good reasons to keep my hands off Roxy Sterling--her brother's my business manager and good buddy, my kid is the center of my world, and the last time I fell hard for a woman I was burned so badly that my interest in relationships has gone up in flames. But once I bring Roxy's body next to mine on the dance floor, I want all the not-safe-for-work things I can't have with her. So I make a proposition. Then I learn exactly how risky we might be. |
My Review
Full of tenderness and heart, Miles Hart, was unlike any other book hero I had the pleasure of reading before. Brother and third band-mate of The Heartbreakers, Miles had plenty of opportunity for fun with the ladies over the years. But, falling for the wrong woman years ago, not only left him alone, but left him to swear off love. Instead, Miles’ main focus is on raising his only son, Ben.
Roxy Sterling is a fiercely independent woman. So independent in fact, that she has taken it upon herself to fulfill her biggest dream yet, to become a mother. Tired of the dating scene, Roxy decides to go to a sperm bank and raise a child on her own. Happy with her decision she now is preparing to be a single mother and excitedly doing so. So what happens when you finally think you have everything you have dreamed of having? A wild fling of course! They say that love seems to find you once you stop looking…maybe, just maybe, “they” are right. This story swept me away in a tidal wave of the “feels” that was so utterly good, I found that I could not put this book down. If you want a book that is full of heart, great characters, and will make you laugh out loud, this books is for you! As Always, Happy Reading! |
Book Synopsis
That smoking hot one-night stand with a former rock star?
Turns out he's my son's new music teacher. Oops. But I didn't know that the night I met Campbell. All I knew was he played my body the same way he played a guitar — like he owned it. My libido is still high-fiving me after being self-served for too many years, and we’re both ready for another night or two of fun, especially since we don’t just have chemistry in bed — we connect over everything. That is, until I learn he’s the man who’ll be coming to my house twice a week to teach my son — the best music lessons money can buy. Time to turn down the volume on our shenanigans. Only that’s easier said than done. *** I can rock a guitar solo in front of thousands, I can write chart-topping tunes, and I can absolutely stop thinking about my student’s mother naked. After all, I’m a single parent too, and I know what it’s like to put your kid first. That’s what I do every damn day. Trouble is, now that I’ve had Mackenzie, it’s hard — and I do mean hard — to stop wanting her. Harder too when I get to know her, and learn she’s an awesome mom, a great friend, and, oh yeah, she happens to get along perfectly with my daughter. All we have to do is set some rules. No dating, no nookie when the kids are around, and no one gets hurt. It’s all working out beautifully. Until we start breaking the rules, one by one. Making music with her in the bedroom is easy. But will we be more than just a real good time when the music stops? |
My Review
Tender moments and talking candidly about single-parenthood was NOT on the menu when Mackenzie and Campbell first met and shared a fiery hot one night stand. They weren't even sure a second date would take place. But sometimes, fate steps in and has a way of changing plans.
Although they try and fight their physical attraction to one another, deciding to be good, they still share an "epic" connection. As Mackenzie and Campbell continue to stay away from each other sexually, to avoid complicating their relationship, they relish the time they do interact with one another. Soon the two realize that in the attempt to stay away from one another, they are actually growing more and more attached. It is the first time in either of their lives that they have been with someone of the opposite sex without feeling the pressure of letting their top priority of parenthood take a back seat. So, what are the two to do when they are miserable staying apart? That is for you to find out in this delicious tale full of heart, charm and some great teenage personalities. As Always, Happy Reading! |
