A Stolen Melody Duet- Review!!

His heart beats for the music. She's his favorite song.

A Stolen Melody Duet Box set, including the complete series (Dangerous Hearts and Destined Hearts) and amazing bonus content from USA Today bestselling author K.K. Allen is available now!

BLURB:

Lyric Cassidy knows a thing or two about bad boy rock stars with raspy vocals. In fact, her heart was just played by one. So when she takes an assignment as road manager for the world famous rock star, Wolf, she's prepared to take him on, full suit of heart-armor intact.

Wolf is the sexy lead singer for the hottest rock band around with a line-up of guaranteed one night stands. Lyric Cassidy isn't one of them. That's fine with him.
Women like Lyric come with fairytale expectations, so it should be easy to stay away.
Too bad she's hot as sin with a fiery temper and a mouth that drives him wild.
She's also got something to hide. Something he discovers. Something he wants ...
Sharing a tour bus, neither of them are prepared for the miles of road ahead and the fierce attraction they feel toward one another--a dangerous combination.

My Review:

My Rating: 4 Stars


Lyric is the new road manager for the band that Wolf plays after just being betrayed by her ex boyfriend who is also a rock star. As soon as Lyric and Wolf meet the chemistry explodes, except Lyric won't be falling for another rock star, thank you very much and Wolf is not looking for a girlfriend. Lyric has grown up with music and while Wolf is the typical rock star, once you peel back the layers you realize Wolf is anything but average.

I enjoyed watching the two get to know each other and fight their attraction and feelings. Through music, lyrics and being around each other the two become closer until it gets harder to try and fight why they shouldn't be together and get together. The only problem is that both have pasts that have shaped them into who they are and there are still secrets between them. Will they learn to trust each other or is it for nothing? After all, trust is hard to give someone after you've been betrayed and without trust your relationship is doomed to fail.

This story focuses mostly on Lyric and Wolf, but the secondary characters help move the story around. I enjoyed meeting the other band members and the other characters. There is one character who I knew right away was bad news, but I didn't know they would go as far as they did! Sorry not giving away anything spoilerish! I did not read these books before this duet was release, but one of the great things about this duet is that it has an extended epilogue and a missing scene at the end. K.K. Allen's writing will suck you into her world and then keep you there until you are finished with the book. I will definitely keep requesting arcs from this author!

Abandon- Review

Abandon by Rachel Van Dyken- AVAILABLE NOW!
Seaside Pictures #3.6 novella



Watch the book trailer: http://bit.ly/2ZiBHoF



Synopsis:

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

It’s not every day you're slapped on stage by two different women you've been dating for the last year.

I know what you're thinking. What sort of ballsy woman gets on stage and slaps a rockstar? Does nobody have self-control anymore? It may have been the talk of the Grammy's.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that. I, Ty Cuban, was taken down by two psychotic women in front of the entire world. Lucky for us the audience thought it was part of the breakup song my band and I had just finished performing. I was thirty-three, hardly ready to settle down.

Except now it's getting forced on me. Seaside, Oregon. My band mates were more than happy to settle down, dig their roots into the sand, and start popping out kids. Meanwhile I was still enjoying life.

Until now. Until my forced hiatus teaching freaking guitar lessons at the local studio for the next two months. Part of my punishment, do something for the community while I think deep thoughts about all my life choices.

Sixty days of hell.

It doesn't help that the other volunteer is a past flame that literally looks at me as if I've sold my soul to the devil. She has the voice of an angel and looks to kill—I would know, because she looks ready to kill me every second of every day. I broke her heart when we were on tour together a decade ago.

I'm ready to put the past behind us. She's ready to run me over with her car then stand on top of it and strum her guitar with glee.

Sixty days. I can do anything for sixty days. Including making the sexy Von Abigail fall for me all over again. This time for good.

Damn, maybe there’s something in the water.

**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


This was a short novella that follows the drummer Ty from the band Adrenaline and a solo artist named Abigail. Ty and Abs used to date when they were younger until they broke each other's hearts. Now they have to work together for the next 60 days. The only problem is they both are still hurt from the past and both have tempers. Will they be able to come back together or will it crash and burn? I loved the sexual chemistry and the tempers flying. Rachel did an amazing job writing the hurt and the friendships in this story and I felt the book fly by as I read it. Both Ty and Abigail have reason to hate each other, however, sometimes there is a thin line between love and hate. Ty has to figure out if he can trust Abigail with his heart again and Abigail has to figure out if she can trust herself.
