What a tangled web we weave.
This is the story of Damon & Jae. These are wonderful characters, but sadness and grief is the base of their relationship. Innocent intentions lead to dependence on each other. Damon started a band and he writes songs and sings. Jae works in a music store. That’s where they meet. Then tragedy strikes his band. Jae offers him comfort to get him through it. In the meantime, she has problems with her ex. A big surprise gets revealed, and things go from bad to worse. Everything comes to head and works out for the best. Great steamy scenes are in this story, with a lot of action and love that is eventually recognized. The first and last chapter are very different. Another surprise is in the last chapter with it leaving you with a cliff hanger. Moving on to the third book of this series.
Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read! I could not put it down it was that good!

Shared passion of music and finding comfort in each others bodies
A Billionaire Rebel is the second book in The Holden Brothers series and I found this story to be more engaging and entertaining than the previous book in the series. This is the story of Damon Holden and Jae Knox who are quite opposite in a lot of ways but they share one passion, music. He is a member of a very successful country band that travels all over the world and she is a music store clerk in Houston. But somehow their paths are destined to cross during a very stressful time for Damon and the band after there is a car accident and two of the band members are injured. They start a relationship that is comforting for Damon but also for Jae as she is facing some of her own troubles. The question is whether their basis for a relationship can grow into something deeper and long term, maybe with an HEA.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A roller coaster of emotions; surprises, suspense secrets, twist and turns, passion, love, all of this and more wrapped up in this book. It is a well written, well-developed, consistent page-turner. The characters are deep, sweet, and strong; their chemistry is off the charts and so potent it is felt throughout the pages. The author did an overwhelming job with this story and I recommend it highly. I look forward to reading the next book!

Damon Holden….he’s a country singer, rich and gorgeous. He can have any woman he wants since he’s in a wildly popular country band called Holden. He’s on top of the world right now. However, when you’re at the top, just remember it can be snatched away in a second. Sadly, Damon finds that out first hand.
Jae works at a small music store. She lives with her sister and her nephew. While working one day this gorgeous guy comes in and wants to buy a guitar. She loves to test potential customers to see if they are professionals and know about instruments or if the are beginners. She sells a guitar to this gorgeous man and she finds out while he’s checking out that it’s her favorite singer, Damon Holden!
Damon’s band members are in a terrible accident. Fate/coincidence sends him seeking comfort from Jae. He’s life takes a turn and presents itself with new options that he never thought he’d do.
Great story, great characters. There’s so much more to the story than my review reveals. Even though this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone, but you should read book 1 also. It’s so good!
The second of three books about brothers ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. Damon is out down-to-earth famous musician who meets the girl who always takes care of everyone else. I had read about Damon’s younger brother Deklin and wanted to find out what happens with these three brothers. This was a quick read but I felt the characters could have been developed just a bit more – especially with our girl – in order for me to really connect well with the characters. Be warned – there is a slight cliffhanger with a secondary character that left me a bit frustrated.

The 2nd book of the Holden brothers is about Damon. He has nothing to do with the family business but is in music. Has founded his own band and lives the life of a star. But even though Damon is famous, his character is not harsh but caring and compassionate. When his band falls apart, he meets Jae, a saleswoman in a music store. She touches him the moment he needs a friend. Jae is that friend for him. She is ready for him and not as the famous guitar player that he is but as the man in grief. She helps him through this difficult period.
Jae’s past requires her to make choices that also affect Damon. But he won’t let her go without a fight.
Nicely written book with a completely different dynamic than in book 1. The chemistry is clearly felt and the end is surprising.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Jae owns a music store and Damon country singer, he also has shares in the family multi-billion-dollar company, when Damon walked into her music store he was mesmerized with her. Twists and turns with emotions that makes you want more.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Hmmm
It’s never good to start a book with the lead Damon hooking up with a random other woman. This scene is totally unnecessary.
He’s the carefree Holden brother in a band. He’s got a few guidelines for hook ups.
Jae works at a music store and that’s how they met.
They met again after tragedy strikes the band and they have to deal.
Sometimes, tragedy opens new doors. Damon’s passion was in making music, not the family business. He was indifferent to the ranch. Damon was humble about his musical talents. He was starting to feel the pressure from doing the majority of the writing. He was a bit stuck, not exactly writer’s block, but writer’s desert? His bandmates, Bair/drummer, divorced, crutched using drugs, former rancher looked like a biker; Kalini/string guru, first member recruited by Damon, only female; Hawk, secretly in love with Kalini; Otis/base, oldest SEAL with kids; Cathy is pregnant manager. His dad still wanted him in the family business. He felt Damon should babysit Delkin who recently graduated with his MBA. Damon constantly wished he was as close to his brothers as he was to his bandmates. After what was agreed as their best concert, ever. Damon went back to TX ahead of the band. Jae worked in a music store. Starla is her owner/boss. She lived with her 18 year old sister, Jamie and her two year old son, Kevin. The band suffered a tragedy on the way from the Houston airport. Damon, connected with Jae and she offered comfort and friendship. They shared a love of music and a few more things. How does Damon and the band recover from the tragedy? Do Jae and Damon go beyond comfort? Does Cathy have her baby? Does Damon get his songs completed? Jude is such a minx, Jude Ives?

Damon is staying Las Vegas during his time off because he didn’t want to go back to Houston. Having to have his father berate him since he was a musician. He ran into Ivy at the bar he was happy she was there and had not left. Jamie was living in Houston with her sister and her son. Jamie worked at a little music store in the mall where she was hoping it was cool out of the sweltering heat of Houston. Damon was the leader of the band and did most of the writing the songs. He was having a little bit of a trouble writing this song having to get the words right. Getting ready for their next gig all showed up at sound check Damon hoping he would get the inspiration to finish his song. They finished their last concert in Las Vegas and Damon was going back to Houston. Their was accident Kalini called Damon right away. When he got to the hospital Kalini found him and told him what happened. Bair was dead he was killed on impact the other to band mates were in bad condition. Jae delivered flower to Damon’s family business where she gave his brother flowers to deliver to Damon. Damon was glad when he read the card he decided to go back to the music store to thank them and see Jae. Damon shows up at Jae’s apartment when they wind up having sex. Damon came into the store to see her when he ex camping strolling in and tried to harass her. Starla her boss came in and took over the situation while Jae and I went to the back.
Damon was taken by Jae not only her demeanor but how she made him feel. Kalini and Hawk came to see him with some news he was not really wanting to hear they were stepping away from the group. Damon knew he was getting use to being around Jae she had a way of soothing him. Also, with everything going he needed her with him. Meanwhile Jae was trying not to not loose her hearts. Her ex Spencer came into the shop and tried to rape her but then confessed he had raped her sister but no body would believe her. Damon went to Jae’s house to see her when Jamie let him in Jae was not home yet. Jae had broken up with Damon so Spencer would not go after Jamie or Kevin. Twists, turns and Love.
Alert!!!! There is violence and rape which has triggers
This is book 2 in this series. this book is about Damon and Jae. They are both very caring and supportive people. The story line is very enjoyable.

Ahhhhh i loved Damon! So not the usual music star we all read about. He is completely different, and oh so Lovable. And Jae, what a perfect match for him, she is the sweetest thing ever.

Another superb book in this series!

I loved it so much I couldn’t put it down!
Highly recommended
Damon and Jae’s story is the next book in the series that doesn’t disappoint. I loved how their relationship evolves into a sweet and sexy romance read. I enjoyed the dual POV that brings life to the characters, showing their emotions and bringing the feels that I enjoy in a good romance read. I can’t wait for the next story in this series.
The second book in The Holden Brothers series brings Damon and Jae’s story. The author brings all the feels in this sweet and sexy romance and builds their relationship into more than either expected. She does a great job painting her scenes and pulls you in with all the emotions flowing throughout. Telling the story in the dual POV shows both of their thoughts and emotions and makes this a steamy read. I loved and would recommend this book.
