About the Book:


Can a summer of love make up for a lifetime of secrets?

Wedding fever has taken over Harmony Harbor this summer, and the local matchmakers have set their sights on Theia Lawson, a former navy pilot who's in town for a stay at Greystone Manor. And while Theia's got her reasons to put this small town behind her as fast as she can, there's a certain tall, dark, and irresistible man that she can't seem to get off her mind.

Firefighter Marco DiRossi wants to beat the matchmakers at their own game so he conspires with Theia to pretend they've already fallen in love. It's only for the summer. What could go wrong? Yet as the beach season draws to a close, Marco and Theia find their pretend relationship has led to very real attraction. But when a secret from the past is revealed, jeopardizing everything they hold dear, can this unlikely couple find their way to a happily-ever-after?

Excerpt:

The woman stopped glaring at Marco to stare at the pilot. “What happened? Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?”
    “Same reason you’re pretending you don’t have blood dripping in your eyes. We’re both stubborn idiots. Now, go get yourself checked out. I’m going to inspect the damage to the cabin. I’ve got a call in to the maintenance crew.” He looked up at the darkening sky. “They probably won’t make it until sometime tomorrow.”
     The observation earned the man a withering glare, which the woman then turned on Marco before stomping off in the direction of the ambulance.
      “You’re not pulling my leg, are you? It really was her flying?” Marco winced when she stopped. She looked like she was about to turn around and stomp back to him but instead gave her head an irritated shake and continued to the ambulance.
       Her co-pilot leaned in to him. “She has excellent hearing.”
       Marco glanced to where she now sat in the back of the ambulance. “Despite what it sounds like, I’m not a sexist jerk. I just—”
     “Yes, you are,” she yelled at him while waving off the paramedic.
      “I think she just told them not to waste time numbing her cut before they stitch it. She’s like some kind of superhero. Oblivious to pain and able to save planes from crashing to the ground,” Marco said.
       “I wouldn’t say that in her hearing, but in some ways, she is. She’s a former navy fighter pilot.”
      “Really? Wow. That’s, ah…cool.” He went with the opposite of what he’d been going to say. Hot. The woman was hot.
     “Trust me, pal. You don’t want to go there,” the co-pilot said.

      “What? You think I’m interested…in her? No. I just met her, and she, ah…” He was about to say kicked him in the groin and maybe quip that he wasn’t a masochist, but his gaze had strayed to where she sat talking to the paramedic who was preparing to stitch her cut, acting like she wasn’t nervous. Her fingers clenched into fists said otherwise. And that small show of vulnerability intrigued him. He wondered what else she was hiding.

SYNOPSIS:

He's a rock star with a secret, she's a pop princess with a painful past - can their forbidden romance survive, or will their lies destroy them both?

I've earned my bad reputation.
A few years ago, I was New York City's hottest classical music prodigy. But I wanted something else, something more. So I chased my real dream, and now... I'm rock royalty. Dax Hughes, lead guitarist of Nothing but Trouble. But to my family and former Juilliard classmates, I'm an outcast. A misfit. A rebel.
They're not entirely wrong. I don't give a damn what other people think, and I'm all for breaking the rules... except when it comes to our new opening act, Verity Moore.
Rock gods don't tour with pop princesses.
It's not personal. Actually, under that fallen diva reputation, Verity's incredibly talented. And her fiery redheaded personality is... intriguing. But I'm convinced the skeletons in Verity's closet are as scandalous as my own, and when we're not sparring, she has a way of drawing out all those secrets I'm determined to keep hidden.
Yeah. Verity Moore is definitely off-limits . . .
But since when do I give a damn about the rules?

Rating:  4 Stars

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from InkSlinger PR and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Blurb:

Fans of Kristen Callihan, L.J. Shen, and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!

I'm no Prince Charming.

Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.

Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.

Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.

Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

My Thoughts:

Piper Hastings has decided that rock bands may not be for her anymore.  When you hear rock star, you’ll think Landon Cox.  It didn’t take me long to realize that he’s going to be a hard character to warm up to.  He’s definitely a bad boy but will he ever decide that he has someone in his corner.  He doesn’t have to get rid of the bad boy but be a little better about his actions.  He has a few redeeming qualities but I’m not sure that’s sufficient enough to change how I feel about him.  And that’s why I’m not going anywhere because I have to keep turning the page to see if he’s changed and be the someone that deserves a loving woman.

It was nice to see that Piper had a friend, Delaney Fraser, who could kind of understand what she’s going through.  They have a conversation that had me park my seat and not come up for air until this story was done.  Don’t know who Delaney Fraser is?  If you decide you want to know more about her please go back and read Rock King.  Having grown up listening to a lot of rock and roll, this series feeds into some of my beliefs of the rock band lifestyle.  Landon is the band’s drummer and as I’m reading his story I start to hear Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and I start to pick up on the drummer during certain points in the song – it gave me an idea of Landon’s part in the rock group called Nothing But Trouble.

One reoccurring character is Travis Taggert – he seems to be The Man in charge.  He has an important job, just as in the first book; he seems to help the story move along.  Even though he’s not a central character, I still want to see what he’s going to do in the next story.  This is one of those series that once each book comes out you want to get it read in one sitting.  You want to sit back and wait to see if the main character ever has that light bulb moment when their lives are about to change and hopefully for the better.  


Landon’s story seems grittier than Shane’s.  Landon has some issues that need to be addressed and I’m not sure that I would want to be in Piper’s shoes.  At times it felt like he didn’t really realize how serious things were getting.  Seeing Piper have her own set of issues you may be able to understand what she’s going through having gone through some of the same things.  This was one thing that made the story seem so real – we as fans may have unrealistic expectations of how they behave once they’re off stage.  I was glad to see that our author took the time to include something personal like family – this was just one more thing that made the story seem so real.  This couldn’t be truer than once you get to the end.  The only thing I’ll tell you is make sure to have some tissue handy.

My Thoughts:

Piper Hastings doesn’t want to be connected to rock bands anymore.  Landon Cox seems to fit the rock star persona.  He’s going to be a hard character to like.  He’s definitely a bad boy but the question becomes “can he redeem himself?”  He has a few likable traits but I’m not sure that’s sufficient.  So that becomes my page-turner moment.

And if that didn’t solidify things it was a conversation she had with her friend Delaney Fraser.  Don’t know who Delaney Fraser is?  Make sure to go back and read the first book of this series, Rock King.  This series is feeding into some of my beliefs in the rock band lifestyle.  Landon is the band’s drummer and interestingly enough I was listening to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and you could hear the drummer during certain points in the song.  As I was listening, it had me think about Landon and his playing skills in the Nothing But Trouble band.

This story seemed grittier than the first book.  Landon has some issues that need to be addressed and I’m not sure that I would want to be in Piper’s shoes.  At times it didn’t seem as if Landon realized the seriousness of what’s happening.  This was one thing that made the story seem so real – how we feel that some rock stars behave once they’re off stage.  And you’ll see that Piper has her own set of issues.


One character that makes a reappearance is Travis Taggert.  Just as in the first book, he seems to help the story move along – especially since he seems to be the man in charge.  Even though he’s not the main focus of the story, I still want to see what he’s going to do in the next book in this series.  It seems to be one of those series where you just don’t have a choice – you have to sit back and really look at who these characters are and watch as they have that light bulb moment when their lives are about to change and hopefully for the better.  One thing that I liked was the fact that the author also included personal things like family – just one more thing that make the characters seem more real.  And that was most evident with the ending.  The only thing I’ll tell you is to make sure to have some tissue handy.





Watching Landon Cox on stage from forty feet away had been bad enough. But here, now, close enough to touch, I was jolted by the power of his presence.
Still shirtless and sweating after an intense performance, my eyes danced over the rippling muscles rising from beneath the inked skin of Landon’s naked torso, his broad shoulders tapering to slim hips, perfect V cuts forming an arrow pointing south.
Vitality seeping from every pore.
My gaze was drawn inexorably upward. Blond hair a damp mess, the faintest trace of stubble darkening a jawline that could have been cut from marble. A face so symmetrical, so severely beautiful, it would take even the most talented sculptor a lifetime to get right.
Landon Cox was a fantasy in the flesh.
I’d imagined this very moment dozens—no, hundreds—of times. But now that the moment was here, Landon and I, alone in a room again after all these years, I had nothing.
In a blink, Landon’s expression wavered. His winged brows, three shades darker than the hair sweeping across his forehead, pulled together. Eyes like hot coals burning into me.
As if the sight of me caused him pain.
I tore my gaze away from his face, but it only landed on the swaths of ink covering his chest and extending over his arms. My mouth watered at the sight. I wanted to trace every tattoo with my tongue, every slash and swirl and stripe. After six years, how would Landon taste?
Like regret, I realized with a sickening thud. Because regret was all that remained of what we’d once shared.
