Author’s notes:
This book is complete and utter fangirl wish fulfillment. It is not realistic in the slightest. But who reads rock star romances for realism, anyway? 😉

An entertaining and enjoyable story. I absolutely loved everything about this book. This is an absolute must read.
Wonderful little intro to the band Cherry Lips. Chemistry between Gael and Jessie is instant and off the chart. Gael appears to be the bad one and always causing problems. Jessie doesn’t date Rock Stars…. This is great fun, hot sweet little novella.
Sexy, steamy rock star romance in Athena’s rock star bookiverse for Cherry Lips.
A nice little pre-fame introduction to Cherry Lips by way of its bad boy bassist, Gael. His sister, Cerise hires Jessie to babysit him. A bored Gael is bad for the band.
Or so she thinks.
Jessie needs some extra fundage so she says yes to Cerise’s offer. After all, she doesn’t date rock stars. She’ll be safe. She thinks.
Chemistry’s a hard thing to deny. Hot, sweet, and great intro to the Cherry Lips world while adding to the existing bookiverse.
Loved this story of bad boy rock star Gael & Jessie who is hired to get him back on track.
In this novel we come to meet bassist Gael, the lead singer’s problematic brother..This is more like an intro to the previous books in the series but all can be read as a stand alone. I personally love rock star bad boys who get tamed by their women & this did not disappoint. The sexual chemistry between Gael & Jessie was unexpected but delightfully explosive. I received an arc & this is my honest &voluntary review.
Gael is the bassist for an up and coming band, Cherry Lips, and his sister, Cerise, is the lead singer. Gael is a flirt, a risk taker, impulsive, and too hot for his own good. Jessie has no interest in dating a rockstar. She has enough on her plate serving them drinks everyday and working at a local youth center. Jessie comes off as a good girl but has a backbone made of steel. Cerise is worried that Gael’s antics will keep Cherry Lips from signing a recording contract, so she hires Jessie to “babysit” Gael. The chemistry between Gael and Jessie is explosive. Will Jessie and Gael give into their attraction? Will Gael lose Jessie because of his impulsive actions? Can Jessie and Gael find their happily ever after? I LOVE Athena Wright! I absolutely loved Hard Rock Promise. Hard Rock Promise is a fantastic start to the Cherry Lips series. I would highly recommend getting Hard Rock Promise and the other books in the Cherry Lips series. Athena Wright is a MUST read author for this reader. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
Jess is hired to “babysit” an up and coming bassist that is her friend’s brother/band mate. She will have nothing to do with rock stars and he really likes her buttoned up look—until he sees he other work clothes. Tons of chemistry between Jess and Gael. A relatively short story with a look at the next book in the series.
The storyline was well written and the characters were so well created that as I turned each and every page I felt like Jess and Gael pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
Short-ish, super sexy and certainly steamy, this first look at the rising rock band, Cherry Lips will leave you breathless and crush your Kindle into dust.
Dirty talking Gael Moreau is definitely a bad boy rocker on the rise but in his own mind he’s already there. Women can’t resist this gorgeous playboy, he knows it and loves all the attention coming his way. Now, he meets someone who doesn’t take him up on the offer he’s absolutely burning to throw her way and that makes him all the hotter for her.
One of Jessie’s jobs is bartending at a hole in the wall biker bar that’s a well kept secret hotspot among certain celebrities and musicians when they want to disappear for some chill, no frills and hassle free downtime. She’s not a pushover by any means and knows an ahole when she sees one and that’s Gael, in her opinion. She has a ‘no rockstar rule’ for a reason but will this hard to resist man be the one to change her tune?
Although a quick read, I was sucked into this fast moving story and didn’t put it down until I reached the sweet ending. I’ve read many books in Athena’s rockstar romance series beginning with Darkest Days and I do believe that more is better! I missed a few of the earlier books in her Cherry Lips series so, now that I’ve read Gael and Jessie’s story, I need to fill in the blanks with the next book, Gael’s sister, Cerise-the lead singer herself’s story..so look out Rock Hard Crush, here I come!
If you are looking for an enjoyable rockstar romance then you will not be disappointed in this novella. Hard Rock Promise serves as a great introduction to the band Cherry Lips and features bassist Gael and Jesse. These two characters are sure to steal your heart! Gael is a risk taker, full of energy while Jesse is a little more serious and practical, but the two together are perfect. Nobody writes rockstar romances like Athena Wright and whether you have been an avid follower of her previous works or you are just now diving in into her rockstar world, you will enjoy this novella.
