Synopsis:

Finding what others want to hide has been my lifeline for years.
So I don’t want to babysit a Rockstar, especially not one who thinks women are disposable.
I’ve never been good at keeping away from the Darling Devils.
Call it morbid curiosity but they fascinate me—he intrigues me. And Art Sweet, with his smoldering looks and wicked smile, is the most gorgeous of all. But if the scars on my face are inevitable for all to see, the ones in my heart are irreparable.
*
My beach cottage in the middle of winter should be the perfect place to organize my thoughts.
But complications rise when a sexy tomboy enters town.
She looks familiar. She feels perfect. And she sounds like the best song I could ever play. The only thing is, I’m not one to ask people to stay, and she’s not the kind to stop her life for anyone. So our story is bound to end before it even begins. And that’s seems to be the story of my life.

The heartbreaking love story of two invisible devils.


ARC Review:

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I loved this book so much! It gave me all the rockstar romance goodness I went into it for and I loved the characters so much! It also got me interested in reading the other books and I wish I had found this series sooner.

Remember You This Way (The Sound of Us #2) by C.R. Jane

43802161

 Goodreads | Amazon US


Synopsis:

Can you ever really start over? It’s the question that follows Ariana now that she’s reunited with the boys from the Sound of Us.

Haunted by the past and her hopefully soon to be ex-husband, Ari is dragged along as the band continues its world tour. Touring the world together…it’s what they all used to dream about. Sold out stadiums and screaming fans, it’s everything anyone would want.

But with broken hearts to mend, groupies to ignore, and someone who clearly wants Ariana to leave for good, is their dream more of a nightmare? Can Ariana discover her own song before it’s too late?


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

That’s the thing about fear, it comes at you when you least expect it and all you can do is try to get through it to the other side.

MINOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
Did I think it was possible for me to love this series more after the first book? No… but I was SOOOO wrong! This book was absolutely amazing and I could not get enough! I fell in love the characters more than I thought possible and their story just gripped my heart and wouldn’t let go!

The guys weren’t on a journey with me; they were my destination.

Arianna- Ari’s going through her issues, but she hasn’t given up which is something that I really admire. She fights tooth and nail for her guys and what she wants. I love her as a character so much and her inner strength is inspiring. I’m dying to know what happened five years ago that made her run away. I need answers!

The problem with reuniting, however, was that our pieces didn’t quite fit like they did before… and I didn’t know if they ever would again.

Jensen- Before reading this book, I didn’t really like Jensen because of how he treated Ari. While reading this though, I completely fell in love with him. Deep down, he is just a broken boy that feels responsible for everyone around him. He puts all this weight on his shoulders because he feels like he is supposed to make everyone happy. It breaks my heart and I am so happy that I got to know him better in this book.

In Ari, I found more than love, more than hope and peace. I found my home.”

Jesse- Jesse is SO sweet and kind and caring and I. LOVE. HIM. SO. MUCH. He is always there for Ari and is the first one to jump to her defense. When the guys came storming in at the beginning of this book, he automatically believed Ari and took her side. It warmed my heart and he is just so precious to me.

“We’re going to fix you, princess. Until you remember what having us love you feels like. Until you remember what it feels like to be safe and adored.”

Tanner- Tanner is always on that razor edge which is something that I love about his character. He is always ready to throw down and he’d fight the whole world for Ari if he had to. I am excited beyond words for his book!

Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and I could not encourage you to read it more. This story is about heartbreak and second chances and I went through so many different emotions while reading it. It will certainly stay in my heart for many years to come. I need the next book like I need air!

Goodreads | Amazon US


Synopsis:

They are idols to millions worldwide. I hear their names whispered in the hallways and blasted through the radio. Their faces are never far from the television screen, tormenting me with images of what I gave up.

To everyone else, they’re unattainable rockstars, the music gods who make up The Sound of Us. But to me? They’ll always be the boys I lost.

I broke all our hearts when I refused to follow them to L.A., convinced I would only bring them down. Years later, after I’ve succumbed to a monster, and my life has become something out of a nightmare, they are back.

I’m no longer the girl they left behind. But what if I’ve become the woman they can’t forget?


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

And that sums it up; one decision changes lives. One act, one moment, alters the course of many. One decision certainly altered the course of my life.

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I LOVED THIS BOOK! It grabbed me from the very first line and would not let go! I ate the story up and I didn’t want it to end! The book just flew by and was over before I knew it! I loved everything in it, from the characters, to the structure (then and now chapters), to the plot, to the romance, and everything in between! I just can’t get enough!

We’re best friends because we’re all broken in different ways… You being broken means that for once we’ve found someone that is like us.”

Arianna- I like Arianna as a character, but I need MORE. What made her choose not to go to L.A.? Why doesn’t she feel worthy of the guys? WHAT HAPPENED?! I need answers!!!!

Usually I avoided them like the plague, but junkies always gave in eventually. I was not the exception.

The Guys- Where can I get one? Hmm??? I love them all SO much and I know that their personalities have only barely been revealed. They all break and warm my heart in different ways and I just want more!!

“Pretty girl,” he whispers. “You think you don’t deserve to share yourself, your secrets. You think you burden people with your darkness. But you don’t. You’re not dark. You’re light. You’re warmth. You’re good. Fuck. Ari,” his voice broke, “you are so good.”

Gentry- I HATE HIM SO MUCH!! THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS LEVEL OF HATE. ARIANNA SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM AND HE NEEDS TO ROT IN HELL.

I’ve never made peace with letting them go. I never will.

I know this review was a little short, but I am so eager to jump into the next book that these were the only legible thoughts that I could write into words. A lot of my feelings towards this book are just me screaming… That cliffhanger has left me reeling and I need to the next book ASAP.

“Maybe it’s better to have a short life filled with great things than a long life full of unfulfilled promises.”

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I loved all of the previous books in this series, but not this one. And I think that is because I realized something while I was reading this book… The characters’ communication skills suck and there is an overuse of the miscommunication trope to the max. I can certainly tell you that this book would be half the size it is if the characters would just TALK TO EACH OTHER. It’s ridiculous and I couldn’t take it any more.

Plus, I’m not and never have been a drug addict myself, but I felt like Chase started using again out of the blue and it made absolutely no sense. It felt like it was used to further the plot when there was no background behind it. Like, he’s been sober for 11 years and is strong enough that he has helped other people, but all the sudden decides that he needs it again?! It just didn’t make sense to me.

I’m not sure if I will be reading the next book or not. On one hand, I really enjoyed the previous books in this series and I am really interested in Logan and Tori’s story. On the other hand, the miscommunication trope has been used to the max in every installment so far and, honestly, from what I saw in this book, I didn’t like Tori very much. I don’t know. Time will tell.

Synopsis:

One mistake. Four years of regret.  A second chance worth fighting for.

When I traded one dream for another, she was the price. My Anna. But I never forgot her. Never let go. And no amount of drumming could drown out my love for her. Her music is in my head.

Still…Always

And when I see her again, it’s so clear. Anna is mine. She’ll always be mine. I just have to convince her.

Missing From Me is an epic story about second chances, redemption, undying love, and music. Because every great romance deserves a soundtrack.


🍁🍁🍁🍁

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
This book hurt.. and I mean HURT. I went on a roller coaster of emotions while reading this book. My heart kept getting torn out of my chest, put back in, and then ripped out all over again. The story of Anna and Sean just gripped my heart and I could not stop crying. Every time they went through a bump in their relationship, I was right there with them getting my heart broken.

“Love wasn’t enough. Not then and not now. But it was a start.”


This book is about two broken people who have made a lot of mistakes and the path to them both finding their way back to each other is a long and hard one. This book doesn’t spare you from that and the heartbreak that both characters are feeling is very clear.

“But if my choice was having Anna one last time or never having her again, I’d take a few minutes in heaven with her and deal with the hell of it all later.”


Sean- Sean… He kept making mistake after mistake during this book and my heart hurt for him because he didn’t know what he was doing when he did it. He was trying to do the right thing or make the best out the situation and it always seemed to back fire. I couldn’t help but feel for him and his unwavering love toward Anna, despite all that they had gone through, made me love his character. I am so happy that he didn’t give up and kept on pushing.

“There are moments in life when everything changes. When the earth shifts, and the ground crumbles beneath your feet. Most of the time, you never see it coming. You certainly don’t invite it. But I had.”


Anna- Anna made a lot of mistakes too which is something she is never really called out on. That aggravated me a little bit because Sean had to pay for his mistakes and it felt like she didn’t. She came off as a saint and I was stuck going… uh hello? She kept his child from him for four years and he doesn’t even really yell at her. No matter what happened between them, that was wrong of her and she constantly threw his bad choices in his face, but her’s was never really acknowledged. It just didn’t sit well with me.

“Cataloging the tone and the pitch, I added it to the symphony of sounds seared into my brain. And I knew without a doubt that in a sea of voices, I’d always hear hers.”


Willow- My heart broke for Sean when I found out that he had missed out on four years of his daughters life, but it broke even more for Willow. She was just so sweet and perfect and precious. When her hearing problem came to light, I couldn’t stop crying. I felt so bad for this little girl and when the scenes happened where she swayed to the music, I sobbed. Sean hooking up the machine in his basement so Willow could see the colors was heart-wrenching for me and seeing this little girl get to play the drums brought an emotion out in me that I can’t even put into words.

“Asking me to love you is like asking me to breathe. I don’t have a choice, baby.”


Logan- Is it just me or was Logan being a grade A dick in this book?! That thing he pulled with Kimber was unacceptable and I wanted to punch him in the face.

“Anna didn’t put the music in my head, but without her, I couldn’t hear it. She was the muse.”


Kimber- I wish that Sean would have publicly shamed her or something. I know I wouldn’t have been able to keep my mouth shut if I was at an event with her.

“Holding onto anger was like drinking poison and hoping the other person would die.”


Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It ripped my heart out more than once, but it was totally worth it. I will be continuing the series and I can’t wait to read the next book!

Synopsis:

Love isn’t an emotion—it’s a chemical reaction.
Like gasoline meeting a flame. Eventually, the fire burns out.
Luckily I’m in the right business. Women don’t expect more than I can give.
When I meet Melody, I’m on board for a little fun.
I admit, she’s under my skin. But since we share the same philosophy there’s no chance this will turn into anything more.
Is there?


3.5 🍁s

In a couple of weeks, winter would descend and sweep away the fall, along with the girl that smelled like autumn. Logic told me it was true. But the invisible fingers wrapped around my heart gave me pause. In reality I knew they didn’t exist, any more than the notion that love was a permanent state of mind. But if that were the case, why couldn’t I breathe?

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I really liked this installment in the Sixth Street Bands series. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first book, it was still a solid sequel.

Christian- I didn’t get to see much of Christian in the first book. He was in the hospital for the majority of that installment and his personality didn’t come through a lot. This book was completely told through his POV (except for the epilogue), and I fell in love with him as a person. He went from this guy that didn’t believe in love or anything that he couldn’t touch, to taking a leap and throwing his heart on the line. That’s great character development people!

Melody- I’m not gonna lie, Mel rubbed me the wrong way for the first few chapters. I didn’t like how she carried herself and it took a while for me to warm up to her. After I found out more about her past and learned about her having diabetes, my view completely changed. Her character made a lot more sense and my heart reached out to her. I can’t imagine the life she has had to live and I’m happy that her and Christian found each other.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It started out a little rough, but definitely got better. I will be continuing the series and I can’t wait to read the next book!

Synopsis:

As the guitarist for the rock band Caged, I know the rules: no relationships. No complications. Leave ‘em smiling when you go, but always go. Besides, it’s not like I’m ever in one place for more than a few days at a time. As the next hottest thing out of Austin, the band and me are riding the wave, and the music is all that matters.

Until her…

Lily Tennison has “complication” written across her beautiful face. But I can’t get involved. The timing’s all wrong. But she’s under my skin, and I can’t resist her troubled eyes and sweet smile. And I do have a little time to kill. Not much, just a few days in Dallas.

So I’ll scratch the itch and move on, like I always do.

Simple, right?

Note: You won’t need to turn up the heat — Sixth Street Bands Romances have plenty of steamy fun. This story can be read as a stand-alone but is part of the Sixth Street Bands music scene.


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

The world slowed down, and everything fell into place. It was like harmony. Or hitting the perfect note. Finding the one lyric that made the song complete. That was Lily.

MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
This book popped into my suggested on Amazon and, on a whim, I decided to give it a try. And I am SO glad I did because I loved this book! It was fast paced, constantly had my attention, and was so addictive that I read it in one sitting! I ate the story up and I couldn’t get enough!

Cameron- Cameron completely stole my heart during this book. His attempts to woo Lilly melted my heart and I adored his character. That scene when he told Brad off was the highlight of my week and my face started to hurt because I was smiling so much. My heart broke for him when Lilly left and watching him be so sad over her made me tear up.

Lilly- I really related to Lilly and her whole back story completely broke my heart. The fact that her mom hated her for her stuttering makes me so angry and I am SO happy that Lilly has found happiness now. I only wish that she would have found the courage to cuss her mom out.

The Band- I loved all of Cameron’s band mates (even though we learned more about some than others). I can’t wait to read each of their stories!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to continue the series!

Synopsis:

WARNING: This book ends with one girl finding her happily ever after with five handsome guys, opening the endless well of love in her heart to the rock band, Beauty in Lies. The pages herein contain graphic sex, lovemaking, quickies, romance, world travel, a little guy on guy action, admissions of love, rock ‘n’ roll music and genuine friendship. This book should only be read by those who’ve got a little moxie in their step.

“What would you do if you were in love five times over?”

Lilith Tempest Goode.
The one and only groupie for the rock band, Beauty in Lies. One woman on a world tour with her five rockstar soulmates.

She’s the moon and they, they are her stars. The whole world seems to shine a little brighter when they’re together, carrying them through Ireland, England, Japan, Australia…and back to the city of Seattle to start their real lives together.

Five guys. One girl with a lot of moxie and a boatload of spirit. That’s what it takes to make a fresh start.

If they can open the gilded cage of their grief, let it fly free on wings of hope, they’ll have a future together.

But real life is different than a rock ‘n’ roll tour.

Six broken people on the mend.
One happily ever after.

MOXIE is a full-length new adult erotic rockstar read. This book is a MMMFMM romance/menage romance/reverse harem story with one lucky girl and her five lovers. But this is about more than sex. This is about love and heartache and fresh truths covering up old hurts. This book is about music and romance and unconventionality. Book one in the series is titled GROUPIE and book two is ROADIE. This is the final installment.


🍁🍁🍁

The past isn’t something you run from; it’s something you walk slowly past, taking pictures, making memories. You learn from the bad times and treasure the good ones, but you leave that view firmly entrenched in the rearview mirror. All I want to see out the windshield is my future.”

I liked this final installment in the Rock-Hard Beautiful trilogy. While I did enjoy this installment, I feel this series has been dragged out too long. This was an okay book, I just feel like the story should have been over by now. It was… meh the whole way through it. The only reason I continued to read it was because I had already invested so much time in the series that it felt like a waste not to.

Roadie, Book #2 in the Rock-Hard Beautiful Trilogy
a New Adult Erotic Rocker Romance from International Bestselling Author C.M. Stunich

***ROADIE is a 90,000 word novel about strong emotions, difficult pasts, and vibrant love. It contains bad boy rockers, rock ‘n’ roll concerts, handcuffs, friendship, explicit sex scenes and forgiveness. This is a MMMFMM book with a STRONG focus on the woman (although there is some light M/M in here, too) aka a reverse harem novel (one woman, five guys). It has a happy ending, NO cliff-hanger, and is the second book in a trilogy.


4.5 🍁s

Lilith,” he says, and he sounds so boy next door, so apologetic, that I can hardly even believe he’s breaking up with me.
“I told you – I told you – that guys like Copeland Park were the most dangerous. The nice ones, the sweet ones, the ones that promise that everything will be okay with a single look. They’re the ones that fuck you over the hardest.”

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I really liked this book. It was fast paced and I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed all of the different POVS and I thought they were all unique with distinctive qualities to them. I was really happy that this book started off right where Groupie ended and that the transfer from book one to book two was smooth and flowed well.

I like Lilith. I feel like she is a great balance for each of the boys and I think she compliments all of their different qualities really well. I like that she is always there for them, but she also allows them to take care of her in return. Even though not a lot of time has passed from where the series started, I feel like Lilith has grow tremendously and I feel like she has discovered who she was always meant to be.

I love the boys. They are all so different from each other it is shocking how they all fit together so perfectly. They each are what Lilith needs in different ways and I know that they will always be there to pick her up when she’s down. The boys all work together to be what Lilith needs and that is how I know that this relationship between them all will last.

I don’t know how I feel about the Paxton and Ransom relationship. I don’t really have a problem with it as long as it doesn’t negatively affect their relationship with Lilith. I do wish that C.M. Stunich would have given a little bit of warning in the synopsis though because I was a little blindsided by it. Though, I really should have seen it coming after the kissing and stuff between them in the last book.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I am really interested in finding out what is going to happen next, especially with Lilith meeting Paxton’s family. I know that that isn’t going to go over well. I will definitely be continuing with the next book, Moxie.

Synopsis:

WARNING: This book has one girl and five bad boy rockstars. She owns them all–heart, body and soul.
Don’t read it unless you like to ugly cry…and also unless you like threesomes, foursomes…and moresomes.

“Can one of these five rockstars fill the hole in my heart? Or will I stay broken forever?”

Young, dumb, and broke.

That’s what started everything. With five dollars in her pocket, and everything she owns stuffed in the back of her car, Lilith Goode’s life is over. Done. Destroyed.

Ten words. One text. That’s what it took to change the whole world.

A crumpled concert ticket. A chance encounter. That’s what it takes to start all over again.

Five rockstars. One girl. Six dark hearts, six withered souls.
But can one broken person really put another back together again?
And is a cross-country tour the place to do it?

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

When you see another lonely traveler walking the same sad, strange path you almost fell off before … it’s only right to see if you can guide them down a different road.”

MINOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I loved this book! It was fast paced and constantly had my attention. I made the mistake of starting it late at night so I ended up staying up until six o’clock in the morning because every time I tried to stop reading it, I couldn’t.

Lilith was great. I felt so bad for her throughout this book. She was so real to me because of all of the real issues she has had to go through in her life. I have read many books where a characters’ parents died but I can honestly say that Lilith’s grief felt real to me. I felt her pain through C.M. Stunich’s writing and that only made me connect to her more.

I loved all of the guys. Muse, Copeland, Paxton, Ransom, and Michael were all very different from each other and each of their POVS were unique. In reverse harem novels, it is very important for each of the male characters to be unique and different from each other because otherwise, the story falls flat. I could tell the difference in the boys’ personalities and their thought processes very easily which is sometimes hard for an author to do so I was impressed.

One thing that shocked me was the rivalry between Paxton and Ransom. Usually when it comes to reverse harem books, all of the boys are best friends or are at least friendly with one another. Seeing how much animosity there was between the two band mates was shocking to me and I felt like it provided something real to the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I loved all of the boys individually but as a group, they fit so well together that it is astounding. Whatever Lilith needs, they can provide. I loved how they all took care of her and were there for her in different ways. I love these characters and I want more of them. It was a great start to the story and I can’t wait to read the next book!
