RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Kneel (God of Rock #1) by Eden Butler

Title: Kneel

Series: God of Rock #1

Author: Eden Butler

Genre: Erotic Rockstar Romance

Release Date: November 28, 2017

Dash Justice wrote the songs everyone sings. 

His face hangs on every girl’s wall. But Dash wasn’t always a rock God. 

Once, he was just Jamie, the boy I loved. 

But when my name, sung from his lips promises I was good for only one thing, all sweet thoughts of him die. 

Now his excuses mean nothing. His promises are weak and I’m about to show the world that even rock Gods can be brought to their knees.

This book had my heart racing from start to finish, and it's been a while since I've read a book that's caused that reaction. Another reaction I had frequently as I was reading was a strong desire to slap Dash. 

This story is told primarily from Iris' point of view, with only the epilogue from Dash's point of view, and I'm hoping that the next book will be primarily told by Dash. We get to see Iris and Dash and the evolution of their friendship to something more when they were in high school, to the eventual demise of them after graduation. I'm not going to rehash the synopsis, but there are a couple of bombshells that are hinted at throughout the book and if you pay attention you'll figure it out before the words are actually spoken. One thing that bothered me was how long it was from when Iris' and Dash's high school romance ended and when the "1221" song was released. Talk about being in your feelings!

Understandable that both Dash and Iris have feelings of ill will towards each other, given what went down a decade earlier, but Iris seems to be paying the price presently with the release of "1221". Her one chance at redemption hinges on an interview with the God of Shock Rock, who apparently despises journalists (and it's not a stretch to figure out his disdain for journalists). There's a secondary reason why Iris is back in Dash's orbit, and that's twist that you might figure out earlier than is revealed in the story. 

I have to say I was shocked by Dash's reaction to the twist, especially his retaliation (again!). I thought that act was against the law, but maybe not in all states? In any event, what he did was f*cked up to the nth degree and once the truth was revealed? I don't think there's enough begging and groveling that can be done, but I sure can't wait to get my hands on the next book to find out what's going to happen with Iris and Dash.

As the lead songwriter for Jacob’s Ladder, the last thing Gabe Renard needs is a debilitating case of writer’s block. After years of meaningless one night stands, he's finding it hard to pen the love-filled ballads the label is requesting. In an effort to clear his mind, Gabe takes his jeep off-roading in the North Georgia Mountains. When a wrong-turn leads to him getting stuck more than just creatively, he’s forced to call for help. To his surprise, the “Ray” who has been sent by Hart Wreckers to his aid is actually “Rae”—a sexy-as-hell spitfire in a pair of tight-as-hell jeans. The combination of Rae’s sassy mouth and rocking body might be the inspiration Gabe needs. But for the first time since becoming a rock star, his advances have been shot down. 

Reagan Hart has never been a fan of musicians. In fact, just the mention of one might cause her to throw a tire tool. Her disgust for them started when she was just eight and her mother ran off with a traveling country singer, and it only worsened when at seventeen, her rocker boyfriend knocked her up before blowing out of town. As a single mother taking care of her family's collision business, Rae doesn't have time for hook ups, much less a relationship. And if she did make time, a musician would be last on her list, even one as good-looking as Gabe Renard. 

Can Gabe find the words to prove not only to Rae, but himself, that she’s the only one for him?

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Just An Illusion - The B Side (The Illusion #2) by D. Kelly

Title: Just an Illusion - The B Side

Series: The Illusion #2

Author: D. Kelly

Genre: Contemporary/New Adult Romance

Release Date: March 30, 2017

Three life-altering months …

That’s how long it’s been since Amelia Greyson joined the Just an Illusion Tour with Bastards and Dangerous. She’s made new friends, embraced her past, and even found love.

Back on the road …

Following a tragic situation, Amelia is determined to hit the road, put her life in order, and finish the book she was hired to write. Mel’s not the only one affected by what happened; the men of BAD are all trying to move forward, not wanting the past to ruin the remainder of their farewell tour.

Brother vs Brother …

Tensions are high on the Weston brothers’ bus. As each brother settles into their role in Amelia’s life, secrets threaten to rip their relationship to shreds. Can Noah and Sawyer find a way to save the brotherly bond they share? Or will the woman of their dreams end up tearing them apart for good?

ADD TO GOODREADS

Be prepared for a wild ride when you read this book, because there are a few twisty turns that will have your emotions bouncing around. This book picks up right where book 1 stopped, and there are a few questions from that book that get answered, but with this book's cliffhanger, there are even MORE questions that we need to wait till book 3 to get answered. But this is definitely a series that is easy to get hooked on, I love the character development and the dynamics between Sawyer, Amelia and Noah are fantastic. I'm just glad that the next book is scheduled for a June release because I can't wait to find out how everything will play out.

Excerpt

Taking my wineglass and placing it on the table, he flashes me a megawatt smile. “Lie down, Mel,” he commands as he pulls his shirt off. The heated look in his eyes leaves no room for argument.

As soon as I’m in the proper position, Noah makes his way up my body. Starting with my feet, he caresses every bit of me he can get his hands on until he reaches my mouth.

“I missed you,” he whispers a breath away from my lips, my legs hitched over his hips.

“Did you?”

“Can’t you tell?” he answers, pushing his hard length against my center, flooding me with need.

I slide my fingers into his hair and pull his mouth even closer. “How much more work do you need to do? We leave in a few days, Noah. I’d like some time with you before we go.”

“Wrap your arms around my neck.”

I do as he requests as he wraps his arm around my waist and lifts us from the couch. He doesn’t put me down until we’re in our room, and even then he’s got me propped up against the door. “Arms up,” he demands, and I comply. When he sees my lacy red bra he groans and pushes himself into me harder. “You’re so fucking beautiful, Mel.”

Freeing my breasts from my bra, Noah sears a trail of kisses along my breasts until his mouth meets my pert nipple and bites down gently before sucking me into his mouth. My body hums in anticipation. All my senses are lit up like a fucking Christmas tree as he seduces my body with his mouth and hands, not to mention the sexy-as-all-hell sounds falling from his lips.

“Love me, Noah … please.”

He drops his hands to my waist long enough to pull my jeans and panties down to my knees, and I work on kicking them off as he fumbles with dropping his own pants. After he’s sheathed in a condom, he pulls my hands above my head and holds them there. His blazing eyes meet mine as he lowers his mouth to mine.

“I’m going to love you forever, Amelia, but right now, I’m going to fuck you.”

RELEASE BLITZ - Notes of the Past (Lightning Strikes #2) by Jodie Larson

Title: Notes of the Past
Series: Lightning Strikes #2
Author: Jodie Larson
Release Date: March 20, 2017
Add to TBR

I love women. And it's easy to see why. Being the lead guitarist for the country's hottest band, Lightning Strikes, has them practically jumping into my bed and walking out the door just as quick. Which is perfect for me. Emotions complicate things, and I don't do complicated. Not anymore.

Sure, I was in love once, and it was great. Then it was gone. That's when I vowed never again. Life is better without empty, broken promises.

After five years of hard work, sacrifices, and determination, everything I've ever wanted is in my grasp: a successful career, touring city after city and being accountable to no one.

Then she starts appearing in the crowds. The girl I once loved, and who walked away.

Only, Tatum Mitchell wasn't just any girl; she was my girl.

Will she be the wedge that drives the last part of my heart away, or will she break down the walls I've built? We're connected through the lyrics of our heart and the notes of our past, but is that enough?

*May be read as a standalone*
