He’s a rockstar that can have any woman he wants, but he has his sights set on his brother’s best friend. Ryker always felt that he lived in the shadows of his genius twin brother, Jameson; no amount of platinum records or devoted fans can change that. Especially when the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen crashes his sister’s wedding and rushes into his brother’s arms. He wants her more than he … her more than he has ever wanted anything and, brother be damned, he is determined to make her his.
Norah is in trouble. She has spent years perfecting a secret device for the government only to have it stolen. On a whim, she enlists the help of her best friend, Jameson. What she never expects is to meet her best friend’s brother and for him to offer more than just protection, he offers his heart.
This book can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended that each book be read in order.
No Cliffhanger

Wow, lovely romance of a couple that seems like the most unlikeliest of couples but figure out a way to make it work with everything they have working against them…murder, mayhem, families. Enjoyed this one
Another great book in the Welcome to Carson Series. Norah and Jameson are best friends. Ryker is Jameson’s rock star twin. Norah and Ryker had never met until Norah needed Jameson’s help and crashed their sister’swedding. It was a love at first sight. For a not so long book, it is packed with drama and suspense, love and jealousy. I like the development of the characters as the drama and suspense unfolds. I look forward to reading Jameson’s story next!
I have been a fan of the Welcome to Carson series since book one. Every timeI read a new book in the series it’s like getting back together with a group of close friends and family. It’s familiar and comfortable and they never fail to entertain me. Loved Ryker and Norah together. But I am kinda sad there is only one Brother left and I am not ready for this amazing series to end
Ryker is a rockstar, yet he still feels less than his twin brother, Jameson, the genius, as if he’s always in the shadows of him. Nothing has been able to change that, regardless of what Ryker accomplishes in his own life. A feeling that only grows stronger when, while attending his sister’s wedding, a gorgeous woman runs right into his brother’s arms. He wants her and is determined to have her, despite her relationship with his brother. Ryker refuses to be second best this time. He intends on winning her.
Norah needs help, badly. She’s spent the past few years working on something for the government..and now it’s missing. Knowing she needs help, she calls her best friend, Jameson. Granted, his sister’s wedding, isn’t the perfect time to bring her troubles to him, but desperate times and all that… Norah gets more than she bargained for though. Yes, she gets an agreement of help, in the form of Ryker, Jameson’s twin. But Ryker wants more than to keep her safe, he wants all of her.
Ryker, having recently decided he needed a break from stardom, has free time, and wants to spend it all with Norah. He may be young, but he has an old soul and his heart knows what, who, it wants. However, the usually introverted Norah is the outgoing man’s opposite personality wise. But the important things are what matters, and that’s where they agree.
Jameson and Norah have been best friends for years and she’s even attended numerous family gatherings with him, but her and Ryker haven’t crossed paths before now. Though she admits to having a crush on Ryker, and his poster on her wall, when she was younger.
Can Ryker keep Norah safe? Has he finally found the once in a lifetime love his siblings have? Is Ryker ready to leave his rockstar lifestyle behind him? Who stole Norah’s device and why? What do they plan to do with it? Are Ryker and Norah truly falling in love? Or is it the circumstances and yearning for more that they’re experiencing? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people who could’ve met before, do so when their paths are meant to cross. I enjoyed watching Ryker instantly fall for Norah with just one look and how he fought for what he wanted. I like how Norah was able to show Ryker he was a success in his own right, regardless of what his brother does. This book was an example of a fairy tale come true, the heroine getting her happily ever after with her teenage crush. – By Elizabeth
I love Ryker and Norah. Total opposites but a perfect fit together. The trials they go through put questions in their minds but strong support from her best friend and his family pull them through to the other side. I look forward to the next installment.
Another amazing story from the Welcome to Carson series, where you just wish you could pack your bags and move to that great small town. Renee really brought Ryker’s story to life in Unplugged. This story really took an unexpected twist making this already addictive series, unputdownable. Renee Harless brings the vibrant personalities of the Connelly family to another level with each book.
This story is on a category of its own; having a mix between second chance, insta-love, brother’s best friend, a hint of mafia suspense and rockstar romance all into one. A great mix with an outstanding result! Loved Ryker and Norah!! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for my favorite computer nerd, Jamison’s story. I can’t wait to see what Renee has in store for us next.
Carson is such a fun series in itself then you add a Rockstar to the mix. Norah has totally made an impression on the twins being Jamesons best friend forever when Ryker caught a glimpse of the raven haired princess. The story is swoon worthy for sure.
This is one of my favorite series. While there is a lot of passion and a little danger with the couple featured, that isn’t why I love reading about the Connelly siblings and their significant others. I love the fact that there is instant family and support with whatever comes their way: love, babies, running from trouble, etc. And while it seems convenient that the family seems to have a connection to help keep them safe, it makes it for a fun read. I like that Ryker isn’t a super alpha, even though he is a rockstar, and the woman that he has his eye on is super-close to his twin. In a way, it’s meant to be. It also happens to be fitting that Norah works for the government and is running for her life, amongst other things. I wonder what’s in store next?
Another great read by Renee. It was a little bittersweet reading Ryker’s story because I know my time with their family is going to be coming to an end soon, and I love all of these characters so much.
I know I say this about all of the Welcome to Caron books, but this is my favorite. Ryker is the hot Rockstar who every girl wants to get with, and Norah is the smart girl who is best friends with Ryker’s twin brother Jameson. Norah has known the family for years, but has yet to actually meet the elusive Ryker. She knows all about him form his family, so it’s as if she knows him all along as well. But when Ryker sees her for the first time, he is drawn to her and doesn’t know why. But when your heart meets its match, it will do anything to keep it.
This book has all the right elements to it, and it is a must read.
Ryker has heard so much about his brother’s best friend. Only he’s never met her with being on tour. When she crashes his sister’s wedding, he’s stunned by her beauty. Knowing instantly, he has to make her his. That he will protect her with his life…
Norah is in trouble and on the run. Can the brothers help her? Will she ever be safe?…
This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was action packed and full of suspense.
Really enjoyed this addition to the Carson Series.
I loved this book! Carson, NC needs to be a real place for sure! Ryker and Norah are amazing and while I am looking forward to the next book, I never want this series to end! A must read!
I absolutely love the Connelly family and the town of Carson, NC! The 6th book in this series is about Ryker Connelly, aka the hot, sexy, famous, Ryker James as known by the fans of his band Exoneration, and Norah, Ryker’s twin brother, Jameson’s best friend. They have known of each other for years, but only just meet at their sisters wedding as she literally comes running in needing Jameson’s help. She’s in danger and Ryker is in love at first sight. Literally, his protectiveness of her happens as soon as he notices she is in some sort of trouble. I love the story and I love the couple, but things seemed to happen too fast for me. We’ve seen bits of pieces of who Ryker is throughout the series, but I wanted more insight. There was definitely excitement, danger, romance, and the alpha male, but I think I wanted more-or maybe just wanted it to last longer! Either way, this family and these boys have me from beginning to end! I can’t wait for the next one, although sad that it is coming to an end.
I love the Welcome to Carson series it’s a sad knowing that the series is coming to an end. I love the little town and the Connelly family. Ryker is a famous rockstar that has a genius twin. Norah is Ryker’s twin brothers best friend. The moment he saw her he was captivated by her. He had to get to know her. Norah is extremely smart and a little bit of a nerd. This book draws you in from the first page. It’s a very fast past book and so much happens in it. You definitely would want to read this to see what will happen with the Connelly’s especially with Ryker and his new interest Norah.
Ryker Connoly has quietly watched his siblings one by one find their happily ever after..and he’s been content to live his rockstar life; filled with fame, woman & money. But as his tour is coming to an end & his band deciding to take a bit of a break he’s left feeling unsettled… Norah Blakely is in trouble and knows that there is one person she can run to for help her best friend Jameson Connoly (Ryker’s twin brother) but when she crashes their sisters wedding and comes face to face with Ryker her whole world is flipped upside down. Their connection is instant & undeniable but with the possibility of not coming out of this alive is Norah willing to risk putting Ryker, Jameson and their family is harms way?
Coming Unplugged is yet another action packed, emotional roller coaster ride in the Welcome to Carson Series; and I couldn’t have loved it more! I seriously do not want this series to end! Do yourself a favor and read this book better yet read the whole series; you won’t regret it
“You’re stuck with me, Princess. I’m not going anywhere.”
“That’s good because I want to keep you.”
Oh, how I want Carson NC to be a real place! And if Exoneration was an actual rock group, I’d download every album simply because I’m in love with Ryker!!
Ryker James a.k.a. Ryker Connelly has it all. Fame. Money. Women. But watching his siblings find their happily ever afters have him longing for more – a future he never sees actually happening. Until she comes barging in to his sister’s wedding reception in trouble. The attraction is instant, and despite the fact that she’s his brother Jameson’s best friend, he’s taking what he wants. But, she’s got a target on her back and the thought of losing her is unacceptable. Will he be able to keep her safe until he and the rest of his security team, and his family figure out how to stop those coming after her? He’s finally found his one – the one that he’d change everything for – and he won’t let her go.
Norah Blakely is in trouble. The secret government project she’s developed is missing. In the wrong hands, it would have devastating results, and would end her life. There’s only one person she can turn to – her best friend Jameson Connelly. She knew he’d help her, but what she didn’t expect was his twin brother Ryker. She’s had a fangirl crush on the rocker for years, but in person, it’s so much more than that. She wants him forever, but there’s no way she can keep him. Not only is there the possibility that she might not come out of this alive, but she’s holding a secret that would make him walk away and never look back. Can she trust him enough to tell him? To protect her? She’ll fight for her life – and for them – with everything she has.
I loved seeing Ryker’s true side. The reputation of the womanizing rock star put to bed, and the sweet, devoted, and protective man brought to the surface. I wanted to slap Jameson when he pulled the stunt that resulted in he and Ryker coming to blows in the front yard. What was he thinking? I love how the family rallies around their own and circles the wagons!! I know at some point this series will have to come to an end, but I’m nowhere near ready!! I need more!!
If you like intrigue and suspense, mixed with instalove, then this book is for you! Ryker and Norah fight their way through many obstacles in hopes of having a happily ever after. You’ll also get to meet up with others from previous books in this series. Get ready for a wild ride
Coming Unplugged is a fast paced wild ride that had me intrigued from the start. There is so much happening right from the second you start reading that it feels like you’re instantly thrust into adventure that is quickly filled with some deliciously steamy romance. This book has it all from secret government projects, to sexy rockstars, to crazy intense instalove. Needless to say, I had fun reading this.
Norah and Ryker have one of the sweetest romances even with all the action that is going on in their story. And believe me there is A LOT going on. Between government secrets, a surprising twist with secrets from the past, and Ryker’s rockstar status the suspense and action are neck and neck with the speed of Ryker and Norah’s quickly growing love. There’s a lot of swoon, a nice sizzling heat, and a great group of family and friends all tied in with the mystery that keeps you hooked.
Wow words cannot explain this book every time I read this series I’m like dang this book is good and the book blows me away even more! Norah seems to be in some trouble so she finds herself going to a town where her best friend Jameson is and his twin brother is also. Can they help her and we might see some other characters from their family. Loved Norah and rykers story!
Sometimes the person you were destined to be with has been there all along, but you didn’t meet them until you desperately needed each other.
Ryker is at a crossroads in his life and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do next. His band Exoneration may be taking a break from touring, but he still needs to come up with new music, and right now he is experiencing writer’s block which has left him very discouraged. His pages are empty of words and his mind is in need of a spark to get him writing again. Ryker has never had a serious girlfriend and he is envious of his siblings who are in loving relationships which has made him realize that this is the direction he wants his life to take. Perhaps if he meets his soulmate, his one true love, she will be the one to reignite and nurture his musical soul.
Norah had been best friends with Jameson since their freshman year in college and she trusted him completely, which is why she ran to him when her life was in danger. She had attended many family gatherings with him but she had never met his brother Ryker, who was always on tour with his band. Norah had a huge crush on him when she was in high school and she even had his poster on her bedroom wall. As she was explaining her predicament to Jameson, she looked over his shoulder and was met by an intense gaze from the hazel eyes of Ryker James, sexy rocker and the star of many of her dreams. Time stood still and her heart was pounding and all she could say was, “Ryker.”
As Ryker and Norah become closer will he be able to protect her from the danger that is following her and keep her always in his heart?
I am definitely a romantic at heart and I hope that dreams really do come true, so when I sat down to read “Coming Unplugged”, I was rewarded with a passionate story of endless love, tenderness and complete devotion. The characters drew me into their story from the first page and I couldn’t put the book down until I was finished. We all need positivity and love in our lives and this book tugged at my heart and made me smile. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series “Coming Home”, which features Ryker’s twin brother, Jameson.
