Dash Conner liked his rock n roll life just the way it was. Money, Fame, Sex, Whiskey. There was nothing else on this earth that he wanted. Right? Wrong. He wanted Lexi Grant. No, it’d gone beyond that, he needed her. Had to have her. Now all he had to do was convince her, and everyone else, that he could make her happy. That he could be the man she deserved
I am going through all my Kindle books discovering books I haven’t read and forgotten about and re-reading others.
I absolutely LOVE Anne Mercier’s RockStar series for me its the ultimate one, There are a few others that rank up there as well, but as I started to read this story, I became increasingly bored with it, I have been switching up my choice of reads lately as it seems not only in the Rockstar world, but the MC world as well, in fact, the entire romance world, even the dark themed ones, and now we have THE BULLY BOOK, they are all the same, I feel like they all have one script and they just change the names places, you get the picture, maybe I’m getting jaded or I am over this kind of thing, I read 450 books last year and it’s taken me ages to get back to reading. Smut books are becoming more and more like PORN FILMS, and the descriptions well, I have no idea where they get them from, but they make me cringe. There are far too many of these type of romances. I looked this book up and realised that it is the first of a 6 book series, I hope the rest fair better.
Dash is the typical lead singer with the Devil’s Share and Lexi just happens to be the best friend of drummer Luke’s sister Amy. He spots her, she gets TOLD by the BEST FRIEND, she has to sleep with him for all woman kind, They meet, she tells him she isn’t giving it up he has to woo her, She is a lady and doesn’t do that kind of thing, yer what ever, he didn’t have to try very hard and she was soon dropping her knickers if that’s her playing hard to get, I would have hated to see how easy looks like. Once that happened I sort of lost interest, Just once can you make these guys work for it,. Rock Star Romances are one of my favourite Tropes, but the author has to put something more than they meet she drops knickers, Happily ever after. This is the beginning of the series with DASH and LEXI’S kicking us off, I have read a lot rock star books and I like them gritty, grungy and dirty, this was neither, was it bad no, why 3 stars, because I am not a writer just a reader, I believe in giving credit to that, just because I didn’t think its the best doesn’t mean others won’t. I liked the book it was a NICE read, but nothing special and it doesn’t make me want to buy the rest. That is my answer in all things if it is a series then I want the anticipation for the next one to be greater than the one I am reading now, If that makes sense, If I finish a book and think that was okay. I don’t go out of my way to hunt down the next.
This week we are going to be taking a look at The Devil’s Share series. The first installment Play Nice, is the story of lead singer and leader of the band Dash. Dash is a big manwhore, that has a heart of gold. With the new drummer Luke being on tour with them, Dash gets to cross paths with Lexi, Luke’s friend who he is super protective of with their shared past history . Lexi is not in a hurry to put another notch in Dash’s bedpost. Dash’s plan is to woo her, to prove he is not just wanting sex, but get to know her. When Lexi starts enjoying the softer side of Dash, and plan on making this a short relationship because honestly he a rockstar, so her safe plan is to take it day by day. A path of unbelievable events starts to happen, and karma or destiny might have other plans.
First of all I have to tell you these series you are going to learn about are my favorites. L.P. Maxa brings such great storytelling to you, and you get sucked in right away and can’t get enough. I love Dash because he is truly one of the funniest characters you will come across and his reactions are priceless. Lexi is a great character she is the sole protector of the guys. She also puts them in their place and maybe in a little denial about Luke. The chemistry between Dash and Lexi is hot, but yet when they are together Maxa shows you with each inmate scene their love growing. The supporting characters and future mains with each book, you will fall in love with them right away and can’t hold you excitement within to learn their stories. This book as do all of Maxa’s books have a lot of banter which is my favorite, she is known for this and her readers love it. So check out this book, if you want a binge read you won’t regret, because once you start you are not going to stop.
