IRRESISTIBLE REFRAIN
Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest.
Two years is a long time.
Too long to keep on remembering. 
Not nearly long enough to forget.
In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.
ENTICING INTERLUDE
To the talented vocalist Justin Jones, love is merely a game that he plays by his own rules.
But to Bridget Dubois, love and heartache are one and the same.
Broken too many times before, the delicate beauty keeps her emotions carefully concealed. Bridget has her own set of rigid rules when it comes to men. She prefers to avoid them altogether, especially dangerously seductive auburn haired emerald eyed players like Justin.
CAPTIVATING BRIDGE
Warren "War" Jinkins is that guy.
The bad one.
Tempest's ex front man, an arrogant rock god.
The only thing larger than his ego is his capacity for self-destruction.
His bad attitude has cost him. His woman. His best friend. His band. Everything.
Shaina Bentley is that girl.
The good one.
Hollywood's pink candy-coated sweetheart.
The star of Pinky Swear, television's top rated teen show.
He's a one man island. She's a fragile captive soul.
Is love a current too dangerous to cross or will it be the bridge that brings them together?
RELENTLESS RHYTHM
The one she really wants is out of reach.
The one he really needs is already taken.
Dizzy Lowell, rhythm man for the rising rock band Tempest is a wizard on the guitar and a wonder with women. But the hookup specialist hides his emotional scars beneath his suave exterior. He never lets anyone truly touch him until he meets April Reynolds, the confident bartender of the Diamond Mine.
TEMPTING TEMPO
Sager Reed the strong and silent bassist for the rock band Tempest is well acquainted with loss. The thoughtful tattoos he designs only hint at his turbulent youth. He buries his guilt about it deeply within his troubled heart.
Melinda T. Belle is the daughter of a dysfunctional rock legend. Avoiding emotional entanglement, she has turned her back on nearly everyone and everything she has ever known. Alone, she tries desperately to find fulfillment in the one dream she has left, competitive skiing. 
Can Sager overcome his dark past?
Will Melinda realize her worth? 
Will they both see that love is only thing that really matters? 
SCANDALOUS BEAT
A rock star. A stripper. Can a hookup lead to a happily ever after?
BONUS CONTENT:
THE RIGHT MAN 
A pretty woman and a handsome rock star 
A modern retelling of Cinderella.
Can a hookup for cash lead to a happily ever after?

Review: Savaged Dreams (Savaged Illusions Trilogy #1) by Jennifer Lyon

Book info:
Title:  Savaged Dreams
Author:  Jennifer Lyon
Series:  Savaged Illusions Trilogy #1
Genre:  NA Rock Star romance
Release Date:  June 19th, 2017
Source: Review copy from Herding Cats and Burning  Soup tours
My rating: 5 stars

 Synopsis:
Going away to college gives LIZA GLASNER a chance to escape her painful and dangerous past…or so she thinks. At fourteen years old, she survived an attack by a famous musician. After that, the media, groupies and crazies hounded her with a merciless cruelty that ruined her life. But now she’s thriving—until an internship brings her face to face with the sizzling hot lead singer of a rock band, and she finds herself drawn to the very thing that once destroyed her. Justice is a temptation she can’t resist…and one that could get her killed. 

Sexy rock star JUSTICE CADE is determined to take his band, Savaged Illusions, to the top by winning the Court of Rock T.V. show. Tortured by guilt for failing his family, he believes fame is his only path to redemption. But when the fiery college-intern hiding her beauty beneath baggy sweaters and a snarky attitude bursts into his life, Justice is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the stardom he craves. The wrong choice will cost him more than he can bear.

My Review:
I've been in love with rock star romances for a while now, not sure if it started with Crystal Kaswell's Sinful Serenade series, or Kylie Scott's Stage Dive series. But it doesn't matter, this book definitely ranks right up there for me with these others that I loved.  Liza's past is one that really is intense.  Her past also makes a great path for her to try to  help other people who have been in the same situation as she was, not to mention gives her a chance to be a voice when her family had her stay silent and figure things out on her own.   Justice, the rock star of the story, is one that has his own demons.  With a mom that deserted him, blaming him for the PTSD issues that her husband, Justice's father, let take him away from the family.  The two come together through a reality tv show, which is another plus for me.  I do love reality tv shows, especially this very type!  As someone who started with American Idol from the very first year, and now is watching the new show Boy Band, this story-line really grabbed my attention.    
Justice is really great. Very patient with Liza, and definitely seems to be willing to help her through what she wants.  But he also has his own issues, he really wants to win, and honestly, his band needs to win in order to help Liza out with her plans.  I liked the other characters as well.  The other bands made for great friends and foes.  All in all it was a great read, hard to put down, and now I have to wait for book two.  I will definitely be requesting book 2 to review as well!  

If you like rock star romances, this is one to add to your TBR list!

Blog Tour: Review and Giveaway - Groupie by C.M. Stunich


Book info:
Title:  Groupie
Author:  C.M. Stunich
Series:  Rock-Hard Beautiful #1
Publication date: March 21st, 2017
Genres: New Adult, Romance, Menage, Rockstar
“Can one of these five rockstars fill the hole in my heart? Or will I stay broken forever?”
Young, dumb, and broke.
That’s what started everything. With five dollars in her pocket, and everything she owns stuffed in the back of her car, Lilith Goode’s life is over. Done. Destroyed.
Ten words. One text. That’s what it took to change the whole world.
A crumpled concert ticket. A chance encounter. That’s what it takes to start all over again.
Five rockstars. One girl. Six dark hearts, six withered souls.
But can one broken person really put another back together again?

My Review:
My rating:  5 stars

I loved this book.  It will definitely not be one for everyone.  First, you have to like rock star romances.  Then, well you have to be okay with menage stories, because Lilith will have all of the members of the band to choose from.  All of the characters were definitely messed up, they all had very dark pasts, and so you could see why they were all the way they were.  All the guys definitely had their own personalities, and their own reasons why Lilith should pick them.  Now, one of the guys in the band was named Ransom Riggs, which is the name of an author, and I wonder if the author of this book knew this.  It's totally a cool name, but still.  Cope was probably the one that was my favorite.  He was a redhead, which I do like, and he read romance books!  The sexy kind, the kind that I like.  There was one thing I don't really enjoy reading about, but with this type of a story, it pretty much was going to happen, had to.  There was a totally emotional bit at the very end, and while this story definitely has an ending, I'm glad to know the author has more planned in the series, because I want to know just where the relationships can actually go, what can last, and what is just a bit of fun.  Anyone who enjoys very hot and steamy, almost no holds barred stories, really no hardcore BDSM (thank goodness since I don't enjoy that really), you will enjoy this one.  And I really liked the author's writing, so even if this isn't your type of read, she has a lot of other types of stories for you to choose from, you should give her a try!  I know I'll be on the lookout for more of her books.
Author Bio:

Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn’t mind – especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.
She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she’s not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She’s the author of over thirty novels – romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There’s a heck of a lot to do there.
Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She’s already looking forward to it.

Title:  Rock Bottom
Series:  Bullet Series Book 2

The much-anticipated sequel to Bullet.
Rock star Ethan Richards has fought depression and a host of other demons all his adult life, and it’s caused him to lose everything—his wife, his son, his friends, and he almost loses the one thing that means the most to him—his band. He hits rock bottom and believes there is no way out.
Enter Jenna McCormick, a feisty drug and alcohol counselor, a woman with her own share of troubles. She finds Ethan intriguing but keeps him at a distance while trying to help him face life without crutches. She feels a spark but denies it, knowing that a relationship with unstable Ethan could be dangerous for both of them.
Ethan knows what he wants, though, and isn’t used to being told no. Jenna isn’t willing to risk Ethan losing his tenuous grip on sobriety, however, and is prepared to deny her deeper feelings to help Ethan climb out of his hole, but he learns how to let go of his pain when he finds that someone is prepared to walk with him through the shadows. Can he convince Jenna that they should take a chance on love or will they forever deny their feelings in an effort to keep Ethan on the straight and narrow?


Title:  Feverish
Series:  Bullet Series Book 3

…To be loved by the good guy
…To be f**ked by the bad boy
He’ll make you FEVERISH either way…
Clayton “Jet” Smith has enjoyed acting the part of rock star god / incorrigible bad boy since his breakup with rock goddess Valerie Quinn. He’s racking up quite a score playing the field, and he has no plans to settle down anytime soon. His biggest problem these days is meeting his obligations. He’s so busy having fun, he forgets the important things.
To help him out, he hires recent graduate Emily Brinkman to be his personal assistant, and he quickly finds a fire burning in his belly for her. There are two problems, however. The first is that Emily is engaged to be married, a fact that leaves Jet unfazed. The second problem isn’t so easy to surmount, though: Emily is disgusted and unimpressed by both sides of the man.
Will Clay find a way to persuade Emily to try him out, not just for one night, but for all time?
Feverish moves the Bullet story forward, but the book can be read as a stand alone title. You don’t want to miss this one!


Title:  Fully Automatic
Series:  Bullet Series Book 4

You might think you know rock star Brad Payne’s story, but think again. There’s so much more to his story than what Valerie knew. See Brad before Valerie came into his life and, when he was playing back burner to Ethan, see what Brad was up to when no one else in the band was looking.
Valerie might have thought she and Brad were inevitable and maybe, in the back of his mind, Brad might have felt that way too, but he didn’t just sit around waiting for her. See the secret side of Brad that you had no idea existed. What kept the driving force behind Fully Automatic focused even while his heart was breaking?
This story can be read as a standalone.


Title:  Slash and Burn
Series:  Bullet Series Book 5

Is theirs a match made in heaven…or hell?
Nick Channing, drummer for Fully Automatic, has never taken relationships seriously. He’s had fun and met dozens of women—mostly one-night stands—and he prefers it that way. From his parents to his friends, he’s witnessed love and relationships firsthand and believes women are nothing but a headache.
Nick, Brad, and Val team up again to launch her new band Val Hella. There’s one problem, though: they still need a bassist. They audition dozens of women, trying to find the perfect one and settle on Sabrina, known onstage simply as Sinna, a bad ass metal head who’s perfect for the band: pierced, tattooed, dressed in black from head to toe, and she handles her bass with precision. She is a force to be reckoned with and Nick is smitten.
When Nick gets her alone the first time to lay on the charm, he’s met with a coolness he’s never experienced. Sabrina is mysterious and thoroughly unimpressed with Nick and his behavior, and that’s when he decides he has to have her. As he falls headlong for her, he discovers her secrets, one dark shadow at a time. He thinks she loves him back, but he can’t be sure. By the time he’s completely down the rabbit hole, his heart’s so entangled, he fears he might not be able to save himself. Can she save him or will she wreck him for all time?


Title:  Locked and Loaded
Series:  Bullet Series Book 6

The FINAL book in the Bullet series.
Is it too much to believe that someone keeps returning to your life because it’s meant to be?
Zane Carson is an idealistic young man with one big skeleton in his closet when he first meets Jennifer Manders in college. They date only to break up soon after. The sexual attraction is like an electromagnet but they fight like alley cats. The relationship just isn’t worth it.
Zane’s band Fully Automatic breaks big about the same time Jennifer finishes college. One summer afternoon, they meet for coffee and sparks fly once more. It’s off again, on again, but they just can’t make it work and break it off for good, deciding it’s not worth the effort.
But Zane is drawn to her and, during a break in the music action, he tracks her down again, willing to change himself for her and needing to give her one last try. The attraction is as strong as ever, but now Jennifer is hiding something from Zane—something big, something that threatens to extinguish the spark for good. When Zane discovers her secret, will he be able to forgive her or will that be the end?


For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more "literary" fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today--sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light tales--but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn't confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance. Her main writing passions include rock star romance, romantic comedy, and romantic suspense.
She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.
