Provoke-Review


BLURB:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures series…

The music industry called me a savant at age sixteen when I uploaded my first video and gained instant fame. And then Drew Amherst of Adrenaline became my mentor, and my career took off.

Everything was great.

Until tragedy struck, and I wondered if I’d ever be able to perform again. I fought back, but all it took was a falling light to bring it all back to the fore. So, I walked away. Because I knew it wasn’t just stage fright. It was so much more.

The only problem?

Drew and the guys are counting on me. If I can’t combat the crippling anxiety threatening to kill me, I might lose more than I ever dreamed of.

Enter Piper Rayne, life coach, with her bullshit about empowerment, rainbows, and butterflies. She smiles all the damn time, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure there’s not a problem she can’t solve.

Until me.

She was given twenty-one days to fix me. To make me see what’s important. What’s real. The problem is, all I can see now is her. The sexy woman who pushes me. Provokes me.

Only time will tell if she’s able to do her job—and I can make her mine.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review:
My Rating: 4 Stars


Braden is a rock star until an incident happens and now he has crippling anxiety when he has to perform on stage. Some of his buddies decide to get him a life coach to see if she can help him deal with his anxiety and get back on stage. Piper is a successful life coach who loves to help other people. As soon as Braden and Piper lock eyes the sparks fly, but Piper is a professional and she can fight her attraction, right?

This is a short novella so there is a little insta-love, but the way the characters are written make it believable. There is little angst and honestly with the other guy characters making an appearance in this book I couldn't stop laughing. I love the build up with Braden and Piper and thought they were both written well. I always enjoy when we get to go back to Seaside and see our rock stars again.

Provoke-Release Blitz!!!


BLURB: 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures series…


The music industry called me a savant at sixteen when I uploaded my first video and gained instant fame. I started writing music for every big name until I decided it was time to break out on my own.

The only problem?

Stage fright.

All it took was one fan provoking me during my first concert, and I went full Sia on everyone’s asses. Basically disappearing into a shell of what I once was — ignoring friends, family, and most importantly, one of my mentors, Drew Amherst, from the band Adrenaline.

It doesn't take long for him to track me down and give me an ultimatum.

Get help or I can say goodbye to opening up for him on his solo tour.

I know I can't let fear win, but the crippling social anxiety just may kill me — at least it feels that way until Piper Rayne walks into my life with all her bullshit about empowerment, rainbows, and butterflies. She smiles all the damn time. Never has a bad thing to say about anyone, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure she dreams about world peace and the cure for cancer.

There isn't a problem she can't solve.

Until me.

Maybe I’m impossible, but she makes me think that there’s hope — dangerous to a guy who’s at the end of his rope, dangerous to a guy who’s falling for the very girl who has the power to destroy the last remaining part of him that’s still able to perform.

They say God created the earth in seven days.

My manager gave her twenty-one.

She says I provoke her.

Well, here goes nothing…
