Harper is a chef that travels on tour with rock bands.  She’s young, but a little jaded, because she’s been in the business of being on the road since she was a child.  She’s turned down many opportunities for sex with rockstars, but she breaks all her rules and hops in bed with Deacon.  He’s 6 foot 5 in and is done sowing his wild oats. He only wants one woman now.  Living on tour leads to interesting opportunities for Harper and Deacon to steal incredibly hot moments together.  One that leaves Deacon giving Harper the nickname, Lawless.  It even inspires the other band member to change the lyrics of Summer of Sixty-Nine to “Back when we were doing sixty-nine in the bunk.”  Inevitably their respective careers will lead them in different directions and be separated for long periods of time.  He’s in love with Harper and has forever in eyes, but will their connection and the number of orgasms he can incite from Harper enough to get past her jaded view of rockstars?

This is a great rock star romance book.  I’m so happy to get hooked on a new series.

 to Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott!

Love this series!  Why?

(1) The characters from the first book are very much intwined in the second and their story continues but don’t detract from the main story

Natalie is Tuesday’s best friend and confidant, she is important to Tuesday.  Paddy is Ezra’s brother and important, too.  Getting a peak into the progression of their friendship is a bonus to this story.

(2) The theme of trust continues from book one into this book

Ezra says to Tuesday, “I want to be sure everything is all right with you.  If I can’t be bothered to take care of the trust you give me, I don’t deserve it.”

(3) the bedroom scenes are hot (really, it is the main reason to read romance)

I love the humor in the scenes as well.  Ezra refers to his amazing ability to maintain a hard-on under any circumstances.  Then there are a few instances where Ezra’s pets try to intrude.  “I warned them [the pets] not to cockblock me again.”

Even as a stand alone, this is pleasurable romance.  Ezra is a recovered heroin addict (and rancher, rock star, and animal lover) that is struggling with the idea of being with someone that makes him want them too much.  He is worried that his feelings are too similar to his cravings for heroin.  Tuesday is a strong woman that is struggling to move on with her life after her former husband passed away from cancer.  There are numerous issues that happen to each character that makes it seem more realistic as if their “real” lives continue to persist while dating.
