The Rising Star
This is my first time reading this author and I have to say that I just found another rock romance author to follow. Cole is on the rise and wants to enjoy all the things that come with life on the road as a rock star but has promised not only his mother but his Aunt Doreen that he would not be looked at as a one of the “bad boys”. He tried to keep that promise he made to them but you’ll have to read the book to see what his tour bus was named. It was hilarious for this situation!!
Even though Cole had plenty of women…some which were actually pretty funny with how they acted…there was a little younger, glass wearing woman as a rep from his PR who was always there to help him and there were brief moments that “something” was staring him right in the face.
This guy had it all with the good looks, great career but he was also the guy who had made that promise to his mom and aunt, had his best friend from college where he crashed when not on the tour bus and also took his mom to the Grammy’s with him. I can’t wait to see where not only Cole’s career goes but what happens with the sweet Rose.
Hold ON This is the first book that I have read by Arell Rivers and I am totally in love. Cole is an up and coming rock star but tries not to let that lifestyle corrupt him. He has a fantastic family support system that keeps him grounded. Yes he loves to party but always responsible. His mother bugs him to settle down but at 29 he is living to good life. I guess his mom sees something in Rose that may change his mind but what will it take him to notice Rose.
The book was very well written, but I didn’t like Cole much at all in this one. I think that was the point. It helps us appreciate his growth as a person. It makes it more pronounced how smitten it was with Rose.
Hold On (A Hold Series Prequel Novella) by Arell Rivers is told from the first person perspective of the main character, Cole Manchester, an up-and-coming rock star. The story follows Cole on his rise to fame, introducing us to his lifestyle and his relationships with family, friends, and industry contacts. From partying and womanizing, to filming a music video, publicity dating, and attending the Grammys, this story illustrates the life of a star in the making. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
Awesome prequel novella into the glimpse of the early days of the up and coming, rise to fame singer/songwriter Cole Manchester. An enjoyable story; I really liked Cole’s interactions with his mother and the music awards scene. A good introduction to a great series!

This is an awesome Rock Star Romance box set!! It is one box set you won’t want to put down!! The journey with Cole Manchester and his publicist Rose Morgan is HOT. Grandma Gertie’s story was so much fun to read and it was a cute story. I loved how Grandma Gertie managed to juggle the men she was dating. I am so happy that Grandma Gertie got her novella and a great novella it was and it was a very happy ending!! I highly recommend the Rock Star Romance!!
