I found my stillness, my space between breaths, when I was a kid. The answer is simple. If it hurts, I pour music on it. After years of hard work, it’s finally happening. Tragic has a number one album and we’ve gone from being discussed as one hit wonders to hearing words like meteoric mentioned alongside our name. With two tours planned and another album on its way, we have a lot to look forward … to look forward to. Playing in a different city every night, the shimmer and roar of the crowd, after parties and endless women.
My lifelong dream is in the palm of my hand until one phone call leaves everything hanging in the balance.

Rockstar ,Interrupted by S.M. Shade was a sweet and sexy story with a healthy dose of heartbreak and angst. You will get everything that you expect from a rockstar romance. Bad boy and sexy as sin Rockstar with arrogance, attitude and baggages. A surprise baby who will win your heart. And the nanany; a beautiful and strong woman caught in the web of attraction, glamour and danger that is going to turn their lives upside down.
This is the first book of the duet and it ends with a cliffhanger. And things are about to get very dangerous and difficult. Axton fits the role of a gorgeous and cocky rockstar with tortured soul perfectly. And his early life holds a lot of darkness that we just got a hint of. So a surprise baby is the last thing he wants in his life. He is happy to hide behind the cold mask. But Caden is invading his heart and life with his baby goodness. And so is Naomi, the nanny. She is insanely attracted to him but she doesn’t take any bullshit from him. She has a fire of self belief and confidence and protectiveness. But her past hides secrets too. And that secret will threaten everything. I turned pages to be sure that the author did not leave me at that point. But she really did.
The chemistry between Axton and Naomi builds up very slowly. Axton will act like a real jerk most of the time initially. As he is in shock and denial. And he takes out on Naomi a lot. Even more when he starts developing feelings for her and he needs to create distance. But his true caring and loving side comes out and I love that version even more. Naomi misunderstood him but she gets to know the soft heart behind the hard exterior. They have a lot of electrifying passion between them. And they understand each other at a deeper level. And Caden acts glue and catalyst. The story changed gear frequently so you will never feel stuck.
Rockstar ,Interrupted was a beautifully written swoony sultry rockstar romance which will make you crave more. S.M .Shade did a great job with the story overall.
Received ARC for Honest review
This is the 1st part of a duet, and what an epic cliffy this story has! Axton is the lead singer in an up and coming band, Tragic, when his whole world is turned upside down by a baby boy, he knew nothing about. Naomi is a nanny who is employed when Axton needs help. This is a well written flawless story which is emotional, heart-warming, and a cliffy that has me desperately needing #2!! I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all.
I expected good things from this book going in, the cover was AWESOME, the genre of the rockstar and the nanny was a great beginning and of course the author was S.M. Shade so yeah I was ready for greatness and I got it! Grumpy, raising rockstar Ax has just learned that he a father to a young baby boy. Unable to not claim him, Ax finds himself suddenly a single father with no experience. Relying on the recommendation of others Ax finds himself hiring Naomi as a nanny for Caden. Naomi is more than just a nanny to Caden she quickly finds herself as the primary care giver & mother figure to Caden. As grows more attached to Caden, Naomi also grows fond of Ax despite his standoffish attitude. The chemistry between these two is slow but explosive. Noami’s take no sh*t attitude was the perfect balance to Ax’s cocky rockstar attitude. She kept him on his toes and made him work for it. I knew going in this was a duet but I was so invested in the story that I lost track of where I was, when BAM cliffhanger!! And not just any cliffhanger but the mother of all cliffhangers!! The kind of one where I NEED the next book right now and I don’t want to wait for it!! I great read, awesome characters and the story that needs to be read. Loved it!!
OMG, I love S.M. Shade each book moves to the top of my list of fav’s.
Rock Star, Interrupted is the first book in the Tragic Duet, and OMG, I couldn’t put this down I wanted to know so much more, the I get to the last page and read The End…..ahhhhh. I absolutely loved Axton, Naomi and Caden can’t wait to get my hands on the next part.
This book kept me glued to my kindle pretty much all night. At first it’s because I wanted to see Naomi one up against Ax since he was a jerk to her most of the time. I wanted to smack him so many times. BUT the reading! I did not see that coming and now I am anxiously waiting for the next book.
Holy moly what a book. You think oh the usual trope, hot nanny, cute kid and moody single father. I know what’s coming. YOU KNOW NOTHING!! The twists in this book come so far from left field they go round corners and hit you upside your head from the right. Sm Shade has delivered a great book with real characters. They have real problems not everything is a garden of roses but they muddle on. The interactions between them shows the deepening relationships and the trust and love growing. I feel this is SMs best book that’s not comedic. My only criticism is I have a love hate relationship with authors writing songs song lyrics in books but its purely because the words are so beautiful I want to actually hear the song, is it a raspy sound, a slow melody etc. I can not wait until the next book is released!!
It doesnt matter which genre Shade chooses to write a book in, I’m going to read it regardless. She never ceases to amaze me, with how talented if a writer she is.
Rock Star Interrupted is one of the best books Shade has written. I mean who doesnt love rockstars, secret babies, single daddy and nanny books. I know I do.
Everything in Rock Star Interrupted is perfection. Axton, Naomi and Caden are nothing but loveable, and perfect for each other. Their dynamic is flawless.
Shade, also perfected the bomb drop, as well. I totally did not see it coming. Like at all. Even a day later I’m still thinking about it, still shocked. WTF just happened.
I can’t wait to find out the conclusion, and to see how she is even going play this out.
Ax, the lead singer of a band who’s beginning to make it big, finds out his a dad, 10 months after his son was born. Not wanting his life interrupted but not wanting to leave his son behind, he hires a full time nanny. Enter Naomi, elementary school teacher turned nanny. Ax lives up to the rock star reputation by being a total axhole but glimpses into his past give context as to why he is how he is but its still hard to like the guy, for most of the book. Naomi really is too good to him but she is perfect for Caden/Hatch, for him she goes through a lot, but she’s not a total pushover and at times she gives back just as much attitude back as she gets. Then twist ending happens, lots of action, lots of emotions, but its not an ending, its a cliffy. I NEED to know what happens next, like really, truly, deeply need to know.
Wow just wow , talk about a 5 read .. this book totally is worth it all.. Surprise baby , Dad, Nanny romance rock stars and a totally unexpected ending .. (or is it ?)..
You will not be able to put this book down once you start reading it .. it’s definitely a attention grabber …
I don’t even know what to say about that ending. I will say I loved Naomi and Axton. I loved that although they happened quickly, there was a nice buildup of their anger towards each other and some hot chemistry between them. I finished several minutes ago and my head still can’t wrap around the craziness of those last few chapters. I will be very impatiently waiting for the conclusion of this rock star duet.
She as done it again! Shade as once again blown me way with her writing and her story. And that ending left me with a lot of questions that I can’t wait to have the answers for.
Bring on book two!
I cannot believe I have been left hanging like this!!!! I need the second book like yesterday as I need to know what happens.
Axton is a rock star, who just found out he has a son and he doesn’t react that well to it. But as the babies mum has just died he has no real choice as he doesn’t want the baby to end up in the system. He hires a nanny for his son and gradually the baby wins him round and he spends more and more time with him and the nanny.
Naomi is hired as Baby Caden’s nanny and sparks fly between her and Axton, but not always for the reasons you may think.
There are twists and turns in this book that has literally had my jaw dropping in shock….
In true SM Shade fashion she writes a book that leaves us on the edge of our kindles and anticipation of the charts for the conclusion of the duet. I think I should have learned several books ago that nothing this author does nothing. if not write stories that make you fall in live with her characters and plots that make lose a night of sleep to finish…. and than she hits you with a cliffhanger. I loved Axton and Naomi’s love, hate relationship. I think I would have thrown my kindle at him if he was in the room with me. And Naomi had me saying yeas you go girl more times and raised suspicious eyebrows from my husband. I think he thinks I am crazy the way I talked back to this. Now if I can just wait until the finally I will be ok.
What the ever loving f*%k?!?!?!?!!? I love everything that S.M. Shade writes, but how could you leave me hanging like that??? Book totally ends on a WTF just happened cliff hanger. BUT, the angst and torture is completely worth it and I need the next book write now!!!!! Axton is an a$$hole of a rock star who finds out he has a son. He hires a nanny to look after him so that he doesn’t have to. Try as he might, this rock star cannot fight the sweet yumminess of baby charm. The story goes from there and I don’t want to say anymore because I do not want to give anything away. I’m still scratching my head over the ending because that twist was one I did NOT see coming!!!!!
Rock Star, Interrupted is now my favorite must read in 2019! It is beyond GOOD. It is book one in the Tragic Duet. And I need book two NOW! Of course this one ended in a cliffhanger. One you will never see coming. S. M. Shady is a master storyteller and she weaves such a tale that you are so wrapped up in it that you turn the page and it suddenly says TheEend. You are left wanting to scream and throw something! Axton, Naomi and Caden and all the support characters are so real that you get hooked and can’t put it down. I just need to know what happens.
You can’t not read this book. So go do it now, I’ll wait…. yeah, what was that ending???!!! The book was sooo good, but then you get hit upside the head with that ending and all of a sudden you’re like, I don’t know if I knew what I know! What is even happening??? But yeah it’s so good 🙂
What in the living hell?!? OMFG!
The ending/cliffhanger was unbelievable! OMG!
I can’t even process all that came out!
I need to shout! Hit something…SEND HELP!
SHANNON SHADE what have you done?!?
It’s not fair… I need the conclusion.
Axton took a bit to understand and connect with but now I’m hooked on him.
Naomi was so perfect…I guess not everything is as it seems.
Ughhh..please just grab this book and read it. It’s effing perfect.

What an ending! I didn’t see that coming at all. Ax is really not nice in the beginning, but Caden and Naomi slowly worm their way into his heart. Another great story by S.M. Shade and I’m dying for more. This book has truly slayed me. I have so many unanswered questions. It just can’t be as it seems.
I’m still sitting here trying to put into words what a Fantastic book I just read. S.M Shade gives you a reason to put down your kindle and say what did I just read.
Meeting Axton Todd a rising Rock-Star with his band Tragic is taking off on the charts when his whole world is turned upside down and trying to navigate everything that is happening all at once is not only overwhelming but shocking to say the least. But can his saving grace be the one and only Naomi Wells.
Naomi is looking for the right job when Axton’s offer basically falls into her lap. She finds her responsibility to his son not only rewarding but she finds herself becoming attached not only to him but to his Rockstar father.
There are so many moments when you are finding yourself shaking your head or yelling at your kindle at whatever Axton is doing or saying but when it comes down to it all you just want to read is more of this incredible duet.
Rock Star, Interrupted is book one of a duet! Yep, that means just what the sentence implies, CLIFFHANGER! Geesh this author is QUEEN of them.
If you have read this author before then you will completely understand that her cliffies are NEVER done in an understated fashion. What am I trying to say here? Buckle up and hang on cause this story is gonna take you on a ride. Wink!
Another thing I love about Ms. Shades style of writing, is you know you are missing facts that will give you greater understanding. Having said that, you still feel like you are getting a full story experience.
So a little bit about the story… Axton (aka Ax) our hero, IS A TURD. I would love to call him something else but I don’t like getting in trouble with the Zon. He definitely has the Rock Star attitude. You feel bad for him though cause his world gets turned upside down. In the beginning he finds out he has a surprise baby whose mother has died. This of course happens right before he is scheduled to go on a tour. His solution, take responsibility, hire a nanny. Don’t be too impressed. It was done with a disgruntled attitude and the intent to stay disconnected. Caden (aka Hatch) changes all that. BEST BABY EVER!
So a nanny (aka Naomi) enters the picture. She is so beautiful in how she interacts with both Caden and Ax. You really want to kill Ax at times. I love how she is with Caden, nurturing and insightful. She isn’t afraid to throw down with Ax either. It is impressive especially considering that she is attracted to him.
They both are fighting the inevitable and with the snippets you get of Ax’s backstory you understand why. You can plan for some STEAM between Ax and Naomi. (fanning myself)
By the way, Love, Love, Love all the side characters. Can you say future reads? (clapping hands)
This read is a puzzle. You have to keep going to get the pieces. Ugh this book only START to fill in the picture. Eek! Truthfully, it feels so subtle, the things you don’t know, until the end. Dun dun dun dun! WTH? Your mind will be blow. The questions you have will morph into different questions. WHAT?! I AM A MESS! Book two I NEED YOU!
Ugh sorry, I think I have turned this review into my therapy session. LOL. Oh well! Happy Reading Everyone (said with an evil laugh). XOXO
