About the Book

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.

Review

4.5 stars!

After falling madly in love with the first book in this series, Rock King, I had high expectations for this one, and it did not let me down! A second-chance rockstar romance that is sweet, intense and passionate with a tortured hero and a strong yet vulnerable heroine, this book had all the feels, and I was completely sucked in from start to finish. I loved it!

Landon is the drummer of rock band Nothing But Trouble, but he’s just as well known for his legendary skills between the sheets. Considered the sexiest man in rock, he is a legendary playboy whose life is nothing but women, partying and music, but he is hiding a painful past and he’s about to come face to face with one of the biggest parts of it.

Piper works in PR for the firm that handles the band’s management. She has managed to stay in the background for the last few years, hiding the fact that once upon a time, she and Landon were each other’s whole worlds. It’s been six years since he left her without a word and she still carries a lot of pain from his abandonment. But when they meet up once again, all of those feelings are uncovered and the feels are unleashed!

I walked away without a backward glance, so afraid that if I turned around, even for just a split second, I’d be incapable of leaving her at all. Ever.
And I’d been running from that regret ever since.

OMG, I love a second chance romance, and Landon and Piper’s reunion is absolutely fantastic! Full of intensity, emotion and sizzling chemistry, you can feel everything that is between them, and I loved them together! Though so much has happened since they last saw each other, neither of them can fight their attraction, and their passion for each other is explosive, as is their unreserved need to be together.

“Just because I had reasons for leaving you before doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a goddamn mistake. One I’m never making again, you hear me? … Wasted six years without you, I don’t want to waste another hour.”

But the pain of their pasts and have left their mark on both of them. Landon in particular has been through so much, and he’s been left damaged and scarred. I could feel his pain, and my heart ached for him! And Piper has her own issues that she’s dealing with. They have a difficult journey ahead of them with twists and turns and more heartache, and I could not put this book down as it all played out.

“Jesus Christ, Pippa. Do you have any idea what you do to me? You completely wrecked me. The mess I’ve made of my life, you make me want to fix it. You make me think I can/i> fix it. but more than anything else – when I’m with you, I want to fucking live. Just take everything I can out of this one shot we’re all given. And I want to rock the shit out of it. Not just on stage or in a music studio. But with you. Anywhere and everywhere…with you.”

And yes! The romance! It’s sweet, super sexy and beautifully emotional. They have to work hard for their happy ending, but they get it, and I had tears in my eyes as it all happened for them – topped off with an absolutely gorgeous epilogue!

“You deserve the world, Landon Cox.”
He touched his forehead to mine, his breath ghosting across my lips. “You are my world, Piper Hastings.”

I loved this book. It completely sucked me in, and I fell I love with these characters and their beautifully emotional story.

“Been waiting my whole life for one person, Piper. You. I love you, and I’m not letting you go, ever again.”

The book ties in really nicely as part of the Nothing But Trouble series, though you could read it as a standalone – but Rock King is a fantastic read and you wouldn’t want to miss out on that one! And with the next book hinted at in this one, I am so excited for this series to continue.

A fantastic read!

4.5 stars.

Excerpt

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.
