Rock Legend by Tara Leigh

Fans of Kristen Callihan, L.J. Shen, and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!

I'm no Prince Charming.

Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.

Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.

Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me – for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.

Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

I completely and thoroughly enjoyed this story. Piper was a character I could relate to and get behind. I love Landon's character also and found him very redeemable as the rock star who found the love he never thought he deserved. I sometimes get annoyed by every romance almost always ending with a baby, but this one was perfectly written. I really could sympathize with Piper and her thoughts on becoming a parent after having a cold and distant father. The pacing was good with no lags in plot line even with some "pretty prose" of which I actually found really well written instead of extraneous. It's been a bit since I didn't have to skim like crazy through a romance story!

Rock Legend was perfect summertime reading!

This is the second book in the series, and I highly recommend that you read Rock King first, as this will be much the richer for it – also it is a really good read, so why miss out? I loved Shane's story, and Landon's is just as good.

We met both Landon and Piper in Rock King, but little could one expect to get such a rich story from them! Piper was rather Delaney's nemesis from high school, and Landon was the drummer that every groupie had had. Once we learn more about Piper's past, and why Landon deserted her, we rather change our opinion of her and his previous behaviour.

I really enjoyed the premise for this story and think that it works really well as a second chance romance, and most definitely as a rock star one. The uptight Piper and the completely off-the-wall Landon make for an unusual mix, but they quite clearly feel a huge amount for each other. When a foolish act causes an injury which could threaten the band's future, the pair are forced to face their past and consider whether there might be a future. Obviously there are obstacles, some which one might expect and others which are completely off the wall. But they all add to the drama, and the unfolding realisation that life is sometimes more than we bargain for, and that risks can make it all the richer.

I am definitely putting these two books on my reread list and look forward to reading them again soon.

I'm not who you think I am.

Shane Hawthorne has it all. At least, that's what the headlines say about me. I have millions of fans, awards, more money – and women – than I know what to do with. But what you don't see is the wreckage I've caused. The memories and pain I can't escape, even when I pour them into music and spin them into gold.

I tried to forget. To lose myself in booze and groupies. It didn't work. It hurt me and – worse – it hurt my band. That's the last thing I want to do, so I'm cleaning up my act... starting with Delaney Fraser.

Gorgeous, smart, drama-free, and even nice – Delaney is the perfect "girlfriend." When I'm with her I don't have to pretend. It's like she sees the real me. And I can see a future with her. But that's dangerous. Because the truth is, Shane Hawthorne doesn't actually exist. He's a shield to hide who I really am. Fraud. Runaway. Addict. Murderer.

And it's impossible to love a lie, right?

Tara Leigh is a new-to-me author and I’m a huge sucker for rock star books. I felt Rock King had all the ingredients of an awesome rock star romance! It had the deceit and the baggage that makes the characters interesting! You want to know more about who they were or why they became how they are now. It had some great steamy scenes between the two main characters and also the "I shouldn't love him but of course I do, I should let her go but of course I can't" that makes these books fun to read. The only thing I really had issue with was a bit too much of flowery prose and extended scenery descriptions that added nothing to the storyline, just more words to skim through. That could be my issue though, lately I seem to have less time to really sit and enjoy a long-winded story. All in all, I enjoyed the story of the rock king known as Shane Hawthorne and his hired hand, love interest turned real, Delaney. So I'd be on board for book #2.

This is the first book in a new series, and does a great job of building a world in which we can see all the trappings of a rock star world, but also get to know some of the people away from the lights and the chaos.

The set up in this book is fabulous – one tortured soul who has fought a number of demons, but keeps one close to his chest, paired with a seemingly innocent woman, who has a demon even bigger hidden away. As we have the benefit of knowing each side of the story, the tension and the passion builds up very effectively. The inevitable coming together of these two people clearly fated to be together is both explosive, but also caring. Shane recognises very quickly that Delaney may just be the one who has more influence and impact on his life than he may ever imagine. I think that we get the sense of him being a mature and much more in control individual than he has been in the past. He has recognised his weaknesses and failings and worked hard to tame them. My sense was that he is not someone with an addictive personality, so used drugs and drinks for a purpose, which when removed was not an issue. The very fact that he could drink and genuinely remain in control made that point too. I am not sure that Landon, the drummer is in that position, something which I imagine will be explored in his book.

We really get to know less about Delaney, as she is younger, more innocent and has just one massive secret which has changed her world. In her attempt to quell that guilt and pain, she has had to put her life on hold. Shane bursts in and disturbs all that, and she finds that she can be more again.

This is a really good book of the genre, and I would recommend it to you.
