The Devil’s Metal (Devils)
ROCK STAR BOOK!!!! The whole tour, groupies, backstage access and everything. Okay, but wait. This is not our “usual” rock star book. You know… the BIG romance and angst thing? But it is OH sooo good anyway. Y’all know I LOVE Karina Halle and her Experiment in Terror series, and of course there’s my little “Dex” obsession. Yep. Juuuust a little obsession. *pinches two fingers together* Okay… i’ll admit it. It’s actually much bigger than that. 😉

S.J. Frost – Conquest Series Reading Order
Highly HIGHLY recommended by my friend Jackie (when we were ranking our favorite heroes), and also recommended by SO many others (Amber and Lis to name a few more friends). Adamant discussions erupt in excitement when these guys are brought into the mix (note: this is GAY – m/m – rock star romance).
While Jackie was reading book #1 she emailed me and I knew EXACTLY how she felt:
“… but I wanted to share this book with you. It’s called Conquest by S J Frost. Its Rockstar based so it will tick boxes for you . The thing is , I’m about 1/3 of the way through it and I really care. Really really care what happens to these two guys. (It’s m/m – forgot to mention that.) You know when you are reading a book and its all happy and content – at the start of the relationship – well I’m still there. But I know its all going to go bad real soon.”
What To Read After Thoughtless
Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens (wow… the ultimate in angst, heartache, crazy, blood-boiling moments and swoonworthy heroes!)
<—- This book runs the gamut on what I love to read!
- Gorgeous coveted rock star? Check!
- Rock star secretly starts falling for sweet “normal” girl.Check!
- Lots of drama and angst (and I mean ANGST!!!) Check!
- Infuriating situations involving all of the main characters (yes, Denny, I’m looking at you!! You started it! Grrrr!).*woops* sorry ’bout that.
*ahem* Check! - Making foolish decisions (or serious indecision) for fear of hurting/angering/losing … someone (Yes. That’s right. I’m talkin’ ’bout love triangles.)
- Uncomfortable & surprising subject matter that had me emotionally reacting to the point that I felt it, physically? DOUBLE CHECK!
Oh yes… be forewarned. If you haven’t read this yet, this book goes there. This isn’t your usual “safe” love triangle that we so often find in our romance books. This is the whole shebang that will have you seeing red while simultaneously feeling guilty for enjoying it so much. So who wants more?
Book Review – The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle
The Mighty Storm
*visible adrenaline induced excited-shivers run up my spine* See them? Whoooooo!!!! Is this going to be the first one of the year where I blog-scream again… “I found it!!! I found another one!!!!?” (okay many of us found it at the same time, considering we’ve been reading it together), but you know what I mean. I am absolutely adding it to my favorites list. And, we found what, exactly? Another tear-your-heart out book-of-angst. That’s what! Is it? YES!!!!!
Book Review – The Redhead Revealed by Alice Clayton
The Redhead Revealed
This book won me over completely. I loved it (significantly more than the first book (The Unidentified Redhead). Don’t get me wrong… the first was fantastically fun, and I thought I loved it, but this one… for me, blew it away. And together? They are the perfect book set. A great, easy, and eventually, emotionally involved read. (but if you haven’t read book #1, go read that review first).
As funny, cute, quirky and steamy as the first one was, it was also…. hrmmm… well, almost movie perfect. Witty, silly, and sweet. Everything was well timed, and it was fun. Like a wonderful real-life (but so not) fairytale where the famous actor falls for the unidentified girl. Fun to “live” it with her, and to fall in love with them. Almost like the perfect book. The perfect love story. But there wasn’t much conflict. And I like things to get rough (heartache wise) for a bit. It’s what keeps me up all night panicking in a delirious (but ecstatically thrilled) reading mode.
