Blurb/Synopsis:

The story picks up as 69 Bottles continues their tour, riding a surge of success thanks to an impromptu duet between Talon and Addison.

It’s a crazy turn of life for Addison Beltrand, who’s always lived to work and worked to live. Now, everything is shifted upside down—and that’s not a bad thing. Stepping on the 69 Bottles tour bus has banished the heartache of her past, and feels like a rocking new beginning.

Talon Carver and Kyle Black couldn’t agree more. The band’s lead singer and manager are falling hard for the beautiful rock chick, and will do anything to keep her in their bed—and between their bodies—forever.

The trio’s blissful bubble is popped by a danger nobody has anticipated. The band’s security team, always watchful for fan attacks on the members, isn’t prepared for what happens to Addison during this leg of the tour. Will Kyle and Talon be able to help save Addison? Or will her fear force her to pack her bags and return to LA?

Everything hinges on her decision…

Two men. One woman. A rock band. A tour bus. One Wild Ride…

Excerpt:
“Dinner was amazing. Thank you, Cami,” Talon tells her with sincerity.

“You’re most welcome. I don’t imagine you’re gonna get many home cooked meals these next few weeks.”

“No, we won’t. So thank you again.”

Dex chimes in. “That was fabulous. Thank you.”

I smile sweetly at Dex and see a pleading worry in his eyes. I make a mental note to find a chance to talk to him as soon as possible. I need to know how he’s doing after the Kate incident.

As we finish up dinner I lean over to Talon’s ear. “Cami said go ahead with your announcement.”

“Thanks, angel,” he says quietly back.

The conversation continues to flow like it did over dinner. Everything from what everyone does, to their home and family life. I settle into their small talk naturally. Derek interests me most and my suspicions surrounding his dominance are confirmed by the way his wife acts around him. There’s just a certain way she moves and silently seeks permission for certain things. But they are ridiculously happy and it’s infectious.

Beau and Mick are some of the quietest ones and Mick is very attentive to Beau. I gathered from the conversation that she’s about six weeks away from her due date and she’s excited. But no one seems to know the sex of the baby. Which I find sweet.

Tyson, Travis and Tristan are like three peas in a pod. Bantering and having a good time all on their own, while Jolene, Naomi and Cami are obviously best friends.

Cami looks at me as the conversation kind of dies down and I squeeze Talon’s leg and nod. “Again, thank you Cami for the wonderful meal and it is my understanding that we will be heading to a bar shortly?” He looks at me for confirmation and I nod. “Good, okay, so before we go, I wanted to let my guys know something Kyle told me right before we left the hotel.”

“Just spill it already,” Dex teases him.

“Oh hell, I’m so freakin’ excited it’s hard to spit it out. ‘Your Eyes’ has reached the number one spot on Billboard’s Top 100.”

My Thoughts:

Addison Beltrand continues her story in Craving Talon. It continues her relationship with Talon Carver and his band’s manager Kyle Black. The author gives her readers two warnings – first warning is about reading this series in order and the second warning is about some of the content. I have to agree on both counts.

Addison starts this story off by letting the reader know a little bit about the men behind the band. There are also times where I felt that she was talking directly to the reader. One thing I found interesting is what they can accomplish while on a bus. But the one disappointment I had was that my book didn’t come with sound. Would love to hear the band play and Talon sing while I’m reading. My hope is that if this ever goes to audio that the music gets added so that the reader can get the band experience. But in the meantime, our author has created a playlist on Spotify that you just may want to check out. It’s titled 69 Bottles.

One thing our author continues is that the story is told in the first person but it’s from the point of view from each of our main characters. If you thought the first book was hot well this is several degrees hotter. You just may find that you’ll be wet in more ways than one. It’s not a book that’s all about the sex. It’s a story where three people are trying to find their way in a unique relationship.

You may recognize a couple of the author’s characters - they don’t make as much of an appearance as in the first book. They are the main characters of the Love’s Wings series. Or maybe you haven’t read that series before, these current books may be incentive to go back and find out what you missed. Some happy news is that Kyle’s story will be out soon and if you’ve enjoyed books one and two it will be interesting to see if our author kicks up the heat even more.
