A sexy romantic page turning read from a rocking writer.
Hard Rock Crush is book 1 in the Cherry Lips series and the first book I have read by this author. When your past is causing problems with your future will Liam and Cerise be able to overcome them to let true love shine.
OMG! This one is amazing. While the beginning is a bit slower paced, the chemistry between Cerise and Liam just explodes when they finally come together. The way Liam reacts to Morris really brings his own pain and issues around the betrayal into perfect focus when he opens up to Cerise. Her revelations really drive home the reasons for her jackrabbiting every time her wounds are exposed. BRAVO! I have to give a giant thank you to the author for including a very special moment for one of her past heroes. It was sheer perfection to get to see one of your guys take that final step.
Angst, passion, friendships. ..Athena delivers, as always!
Since my first glimpses of Cerise in the other series and Gael’s story, I’ve been waiting for hers. It definitely delivered. Angst, heat, rockstar drama,…I loved it! Liam was a perfect fit! Look forward to more of this hard rock bookiverse!
I love a good rocker romance and Athena always gives the readers the best!
Cherry Lips lead singer, Cerise isn’t looking for anything when she meets Liam again. Having met him before her band got big, he gave her some important tips at the beginning.
Liam is filling in the Cerise’s band on a temporary basis.
Fireworks are super intense most of the time but insecurities play a huge part. Trust is broken with a few short sentences.
Easy to read and highly recommend for all rocker fans!
Rock star books are right up my alley, so it was an absolute pleasure to read and review this book. This is the first book I’ve read by Athena Wright and it has made me a fan forever. The book is well written, the characters are well developed and the story just grabs you and holds you captive from the first word to the last. No spoilers here, just know that there was tons of steam and chemistry between the two main characters, just what you would hope for in a book of this genre. They are both there for each other to repair the damages of their pasts, little did they know they would help each other like this! Your emotions will be “rocked” (pun intended) and you will find yourself sorry that the story ended; this will completely leave you wanting more from this ROCK STAR author. Real characters, real emotions, a super great read! Get this now, you won’t be sorry!
Cerise Moreau is a lead singer of the Cherry Lips she decided to use the name after she met a spoke to Liam Knight who was performing the night she and her brother went to check them out,and when they met again some years later he was trying out as an session player for her and her brother’s band. Something had happened back then that was still with her now but she will come to a decision about that soon also with the help of friends. Liam seems to have issues to deal with also but he made the mistake of taking it out on Cerise he calls “Red” and they have a falling out. An old friend comes back into her life and which is why her and Liam’s emotions are up in the air. This was a pretty interesting romance of coming to grips with emotions that we can hold on to for years and keep us from really living our best lives. I received a book as a gift from author. I am providing an honest review without obligation.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Wow! Was this an emotional rollercoaster of a book! This is about Cerise, the lead singer of the band Cherry Lips. Cerise had gone through something very tragic. She thinks by singing and her band rising to the big time she’s dealing with her emotions and the trauma of what she went through.
Liam, a guitarist and singer, had broken up with his band. But not before meeting Cerise. He’s dealing with his own demons and he too thinks he was dealing with his past.
Through song and life moving on they both realize that they haven’t dealt with their past at all. But together they can get through what has happened to them.
This was a great read and I couldn’t put it down. Loved every bit of it!
“Forget the fluttering in my stomach. This was a swirling cyclone. A raging storm. This was the beginning of an armageddon ready to destroy every last inch of my resistance.” ~ Cerise
Another amazing read by Athena Wright. It felt like I was part of the story and not a just a reader. Cerise and Liam are beautiful together and their story is beautiful also.
