Sexy bad boy Charlie Walker had everything he could ever want as a rockstar: a platinum album, a cushioned bank account, and an endless supply of groupies desperate to have him. But things changed when the band’s drummer went missing, forcing Charlie to go it alone and question if he truly has what it takes to succeed in the business.
Small-town girl Evelyn Kendall has just arrived in Brooklyn … Brooklyn Heights. With a new job and her best friend as a roommate, she’s ready for an epic adventure free from her family’s constant supervision. She’s not prepared for the muscle-bound, tattooed star who appears out of nowhere and rocks her world.
When Charlie locks gazes with the freckled brunette at his first solo gig, he falls hard and fast for reasons he can’t explain. Determined to keep Evelyn in his life, he’s ready to change his ways, even if they run blood deep. But will their instant attraction be enough to weather the storm brought on by the perils of fame, Charlie’s secrets, and Evelyn’s overly protective brothers?
Warning: This book is filled with sexy bad boys and strong leading ladies. If you’re looking for an engaging read with panty-melting love scenes, then you’ve come to the right place.

Brooklyn Rockstar is the first book in the Kendall Family Series. I loved Charlie and Evelyn’s story. Evelyn is a beautiful innocent young woman. Charlie is a handsome rock star. They share an instant attraction/love. The storyline has some interesting twists and turns. Amanda Stribling did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

Brooklyn Rockstar
Kendall Family, Book 1
By: Jennifer Ann
Narrated by: Amanda Stribling
I am a huge fan of rockstar romance and Jennifer Ann does not disappoint. I enjoyed this book, it is well written, well told with interesting storylines that were filled with drama, angst, some unexpected twists as well as hot romance. The characters are complex and well developed, a rock god with issues meets small town girl who is following her dreams by living in NYC. I really liked Evelyn and her bravery to up and leave her family and life on the farm for a whole new life. She rooms with Sharlo, a person she met online and befriended. Sharlo also hooks her up with a waitressing job, Evelyn’s new boss gave Sharlo two tickets to Charlie Walker’s sold out show, his first appearance as a solo act. His is he lead in the rock band Trashtag who are on a break because the drummer is missing in action. Evelyn never heard of Trashtag or Charlie Walker but was happy to go celebrate with her new roomy in her new city. They get close to the stage and Charlie locks eyes with Evelyn and sees something in them. He needs to find out who she is. When it comes to women Charlie does not have a good reputation, he is a player and love them and leave type of guy. But he realizes he wants more and he thinks Evelyn may be his more. I liked how everything played out, there was a touch of mystery and suspense, kept wondering what was the deal with that female reporter, was she an obsessed fan, what really happened to Danny, why did he up and leave? The author keeps you guessing and all falls in place by the end. I was happy that Charlie grew as a person by the end, he had self worth issues and events in life, as well as Evelyn made him realize he can love, he is worth it. Jennifer Ann, thank you for this great story I am looking forward to the rest of the series, I hope it becomes available on Audible soon.
I listened to the Audible edition, Amanda Stribling is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to live, gives each their own voice and personality. She does a great job with accents, loved Sharlo’s English, she nailed that British humor slang! She put a lot of heart into her performance, you could hear the emotions of the characters as well as the drama of the story. Amanda is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen

Audio Review
Jennifer Ann is a new author to me but after listening to Brooklyn Rockstar that’s about to change because I was swept off my feet by a broody rockstar called Charlie and a sweet farmers daughter called Evelyn.
Evelyn has just moved to Brooklyn Heights and is ready to make her way in life, she needs to get away from her overprotective brothers and the family that although they care for her a lot they can’t stop interfering in what she should be doing.
Charlie has a reputation and well let’s be honest what rockstar doesn’t but when the bands drummer disappears his rockstar world is turned upside down and it sends him spiraling downwards……
Secrets and his rockstar reputation don’t make it easy for a relationship between Charlie and Evelyn but when something is worth fighting for you give it your all. The twists and turns made this an interesting book to listen to and I loved the characters. The narrator did a great job of bringing them to life and as Amanda Stirling is also new to me I will be checking out her other works.
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I highly enjoyed this insta-lust rockstar romance. The narrator could have used a few changes but otherwise, she does an amazing job. Love the twist at the end. Perfect ending. Recommend.
Brooklyn Rockstar by Jennifer Ann is one of those stories that really pulls you in. You cannot help but love the main character Evelyn!! She is small town with all the charm and sweetness. She finally gets to leave the nest away from her brothers and live her life to the fullest. She is a lover of music and when she sees and listens to Charlie Walker she knew she was done for. Charlie was always the ladies man, the womanizer and the flirt. He was never one for love until Evelyn showed up that night at his show. After that it was game over. Love the little twists to the plot and the ending was amazing.
Brooklyn rockstar is not your average rockstar romance. I expected your typical lead singer meets normal girl and falls in love, but this story has a few twists that make it completely different. Charlie and Evelyn are the stars of this novel. Evelyn is a beautiful, yet naive woman who has been sheltered by her brothers. Charlie is a rockstar, living the wild life. When he meets Evelyn, his life changes. But secrets and fame may just be the thing that breaks them apart. Jennifer Ann has infused a storyline that kept me wanting to know what would happen next. A little suspense and a mystery to solve, as a listener I had to find out what would happen next and how it would impact Charlie & Evelyn. The twist was a surprise and the ending was perfect. And oh, the song Charlie writes will leave you swooning…..
The narration of the story by Amanda Stribling is wonderful. She is able to give voice to the characters, though at times it was a little difficult to differentiate who was talking. I loved her English accent and thought her pacing of the story was perfect.
I loved Brooklyn Rockstar! Super excited for this new series by Jennifer Ann. Jennifer does a great job with her characters and writing in that I was easily invested in them from the beginning. Because of this gift, it rarely takes me long to finish her books! Take the time to read this book people! You won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait for the rest of this series!!!!
I loved the book,the characters and the friendships,well done!
A must read great story line love this book!
Its a good book. Keeps you interested.
Need more Charlie!
I laughed throughout this whole book as it really struck home with me. Evelyn is so much like me, as I am from rural Iowa and left for NYC when I was only 19 years old to escape small town life. I also come from a family of four brothers and two sisters…it was like Jennifer was writing my story….except my husband was not a rock star and definitely not built like Charlie..and I did not get my HEA like Evelyn. What a lucky girl!
I really did like this story. The characters have a great believable storyline and with the help of the supporting characters make this book an awesome read. Charlie and Evelyn are the sweetest couple I have read about in sometime and was a nice change of pace. And….
PS..Charlie Walker can scratch my itch whenever he wants.
Fun and entertaining
Aside from the grammatical errors, I loved this book!
Very short
