Blinded by passion, I refused to see what was really happening until it was too late, and there was no going back. When I emerge from the haze of him, I’m left empty and undefined, barely recognizable.
He wouldn’t fall.
Not at all.
Not ever a chance.
What a silly notion that would be.

Amazing!
This book was recently recommended to me by a friend who I share a mutual love of this romance genre, Rockstars. Wow, what a fanastic story and one of the reasons of why I instantly loved it so much was that the story was told by the two main characters sharing their own points of view as if they were speaking directly to the reader. The writing was so unique and different, making me feel like I was right there with them, feeling disappointment, heartbreak, hard won moments of happiness- the good times and the bad. It was almost like they were confiding in me throughout. I’m not sure if I’ve ever read anything like this before and I loved every crazy bit of it!
This method wouldn’t have been so exciting if the story wasn’t there to back it up, but yes indeed, it truly was. Shey Stahl is a new author to me and I couldn’t have loved her writing style or the world she gave me more. You could feel everything the characters felt and thought, they told you everything that was on their minds and in their hearts. Revel, brooding, broken, bitter badass lead singer with a huge chip on his shoulder, seems to hate the world and everyone in it. Taylan, Pop Princess, beautiful, innocent, controlled by her manager father, molded into something she never signed on for from a very young age and looking for a change. These were the complex and unforgettable characters that I’ll still be thinking about for a very long time to come. Their story had me wondering what would happen next and how much angst I would have endure with as they had me hanging on every word about the truth of their lives, trapped under the microscope of their own fame. What an emotional ride and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you love an amazing love story that just so happens to include rockstars with all the ups and downs, baggage and drama that often comes with them, then this might just be your next book. It does have a great HEA, although your heart might stop a few times getting to it. Highly recommend this one.
Shey Stahl this book is on a whole new level, the story line and characters sucked me in with an intensity I just can’t explain. I have no words other than, now that I have finished the book I want to turn back to back to page#1 and experience this all over again!!!! As I sit back and revel in everything that is the beautiful broken monster Revel Slade, all I can say is I hope this monster visits me in my dreams and maybe even my nightmares! 5 phenomenal stars, loved it!! Now back to page#1 I go.
Geez Louise! This book killed me with all the angst.
Shey Stahl has an unbelievable talent of pulling you into the story to the point that you are living the characters lives. I was so deep, into the characters psyche, that I didnt know where they ended and I began. Mind boggling? Yes!
Revel is a great book. I loved the writing style. The storyline flowed easily and I was biting my nails the whole time. Do I recommend this book? Absolutely! So happy reading.
