Bodyguard Bad Boys… Sexy, Hot, and oh so protective!A pop star in danger.Her reluctant bodyguard.A past they can’t deny.Summer Michelle is on the verge of ultimate fame.Ben Hollander has sworn off mixing business with pleasure.But keeping his hands off of the sexy songstress is easier said than done and once the threat is neutralized, will she choose fame over love?
I love Carly Phillips she writes some amazing stories and this is yet another one from her that rocks. This is a great start to this series I can’t wait to read more from these characters.
When you find someone that attracts like no other before you sometimes lose your mind may cause a lack in judgement. That seems to be what happened to Ben when he first met Summer Michelle and the last thing he ever expected to be in her presence again.
Summer’s world was rocked by Ben before all heck broke loose. Despite their abrupt end, she always saw him as the one that got away.
Now having to be near each other 24/7, can they a find a way to get over their past and find a way to work together? And more importantly, will they embrace their desire and build a future?
Rock Me is a fun, sexy, intriguing story about second chances and love conquering all. Once I cracked open this book, I couldn’t put it down. I love how Ben takes his job seriously and try as he might, he can’t deny the connection between them. And when Ben promises to keep Summer safe, you know it’s a promise he’ll keep. And when Ben promises out of the world pleasure, you know he’ll deliver every naughty, dirty desire Summer has ever imagines.
The intrigue behind the reason that brought these two back together is thrilling. When you think you know what’s about to happen someone comes along to leave you scratching your head.
I highly enjoyed Rock Me and can’t wait to see what Carly bring us with the rest of this series. It’s saucy, provocative, and entertaining. So if you need a bodyguard that will keep you safe and love you like you’re the most important person in the world, then I recommend you run and pick up Rock Me today.
I love Carly Phillips and all her books!

I love this book so much that I so far I have read it twice. It is one of those books that I have on my permanent re-read list. Yes i have one of those things…a list that I go and throw a dart at on a day when I need a good pick me up book. This is one of “those” books, a book that will stand the test of time. I have a few Carly Phillips books on this list and if I listed them in order of likes this would be at the top of the list. I really like second chance books because it means hope and if there is hope in the world then that means there is also faith. And believe it or not , I am living a second chance romance myself so I know they happen and they do end well…28 years and counting. So on with this story.
We have a story about Ben who? works in security and Summer needs to be protected yet again. And yea they have history. Oh man what a history they have. Think of Summer as someone who has been on a show like American Idol or America’s Got Talent but with people around her that will go above and beyond to win the grand prize. Of course if you are one of the people in Security on the set it goes without saying but it IS in the contract NO Hanky Panky with the talent. Well, since this IS a Second Chance romance this IS their second time around. And no life is not all smooth sailing and perfect pitch songs either. But I will say a love song must have a few sad notes and teary eyes to make the perfect melody right.
I’ve always enjoyed Nelle L’Amour’s books, but this was a big disappointment. It was so depressing I didn’t even finish it. If I want a book this depressing, I’m not going to read a romance novel.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Rock Me is the 1st book in a new series by Carly Phillips and again she did not disappoint! Awesome read! !
Ben Hollander and Summer Michelle have a history that got Ben fired from his job years ago. Now he works for a security/bodyguard company and when given his assignment he find he has to protect Summer again…wanting out of this detail is not happening as there is no one else available. Can Ben protect Summer and keep his heart out of the equation or will they find that their history will bring them full circle for a second chance at love and a HEA???
I totally loved reading Rock Me, the first book in Carly Phillips new Bodyguard Bad Boys series. This is a second chance story between bodyguard Ben Hollander and pop star Summer Michelle. Summer’s stardom is poised on the brink as she competes to be the opening act for a rock star. Threats have been made against the two competitors and Ben is assigned to be the bodyguard for Summer and to keep her from danger. Part of this assignment is a déjà vu situation since Ben lost a previous bodyguard position after getting involved with Summer when she was on televised competition. However, this time around it is so much more difficult for Ben to keep his hands off of her. Despite being a few years later, these two continue to have off the chart chemistry. These two need figure out how to continue their relationship if Summer wins the competition and Ben is no longer her bodyguard.
Ms. Phillips is a wonderful storyteller which she demonstrated in this story. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting it down. This is a great book with plenty of sex, romance and suspense. I highly recommend this book to other readers and am looking forward to the next book in this series, Tempt Me.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Who wouldn’t want a hot and sexy bodyguard? How about if that bodyguard was someone from your past that you couldn’t get off your mind but you weren’t sure how he truly felt about you? Summer is on the brink of a singing career that she has always dreamed about when she is hit with a stalker. When the company she is working with hires a bodyguard for her she is fine with it until she realizes it is someone that she has had an intimate relationship with in the past. Ben loves being a bodyguard but when he realizes that his client, Summer, is someone from his past he isn’t sure if he can do the job. This was a terrific read that dealt with finding that special someone, loosing them, and then reconnecting and finding just how strong those original feelings were. I went through a gambit of emotions while reading this but in a good way and look forward to what is to come next for another hot bodyguard.
ROCK ME is the first installment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult BODYGUARD BAD BOYS erotic, romantic, suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Alpha Security-a spin off from her. This is bodyguard Ben Hollander, and pop star Summer Michelle’s story line.
NOTE: There is a slight cross –over with author Lexi Blake’s Masters and Mercenaries series as Carly brings together the team from McKay Taggart and Alpha Security. April 2018 will see HIS TO PROTECT co-authored by Carly Phillips and Lexi Blake.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Summer and Ben) ROCK ME is a second chance story line focusing on bodyguard Ben Hollander, and up and coming pop-star Summer Michelle. Four years earlier Ben Hollander had been assigned security duty to wanna-be singing star Summer Michelle but an affair with the woman he was charged to protect found our hero without a job, heartbroken and betrayed. Fast forward to present day wherein Ben finds himself, once again, protecting the woman with whom he had fallen in love-a woman he believes turned on him when her started began to rise. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Ben and Summer, and the search for the person responsible for threatening our story line heroine.
Ben Hollander hasn’t seen Summer Michelle for close to four years-four years wherein he blamed the singer for violating his contract clause. Summer Michelle is poised to make it big if only she can survive the grueling talent star competition, and the threats against her life.
The relationship between Summer and Ben is one of second chances: a rekindling romance between two people whose growing love, years before, was destroyed by a jealous rival. Although Ben struggles to keep his relationship with Summer above board and professional, our heroine is determined to renew and revive what was started so long ago. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
We are introduced to Ben’s fellow co-workers at Alpha Security: boss Dan Wilson; Ava Talbott, and Jared Wilson; in absentia Tate Shaw and Austin Rhodes, as well as Summer’s agent Anna Davis, and best friend Ivy Jameson; Summer’s competition Tawny Renee, and Tawny’s agent Michael Gold. The requisite evil is easily deduced although the reasons come as a bit of a shock. Austin’s story line is next in TEMPT ME-January 2018.
The world building focuses on the relationship between Summer and Ben, as well as the introduction of the Alpha Security team .
ROCK ME is a sexy and edgy story line about second chances. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the characters are dynamic and spirited; the romance is captivating and sensual. ROCK ME is a dramatic and intriguing start to Carly Phillips’ BODYGUARD BAD BOYS.
Summer is on the fast track to becoming a pop star. She is in competition with another singer for the chance to be the opening act in a music stars concert tour. But she starts getting threatening notes and they hire a bodyguard for her.

The more time they spend together, the more he falls for her again. But she is destined for bigger things and he can’t fall for her then lose her.
Great story. Love the characters. Sizzling sex. Beautiful, talented , down to earth woman. A sexy, bodyguard who knows how to rock her world.
