I’ve read all SC Daiko’s books and I have to say hands down best book she has ever written. Axel and Phoenix has this insta chemistry that pulls you right into their love.
The loss of his sister has changed him and his love for Phoenix is what he needs to keep moving. If this book doesn’t ripe you apart and then piece you back together I think you need to re read it!
It’s an emotional roller coaster that I would happily get on again and again.
And if you have read other books from this author we get a reappearance from one of our favourite triads. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

I loved reading another amazing novel by S.C. Daiko. I enjoyed that Axel’s mother and father and Declan are a Poly couple from another book by this author. This story was a quick, easy read and next to impossible to put down.
Rock Star is about Axel and Phoenix and their connection. The storyline dealt with subject that hits me hardcore. I am battling my own demons while in recovery from addiction. I understood how hard it is to have a healthy relationship with your soulmate. I loved seeing Phoenix and Axel come out on top. Together they found what they needed most which ended up being their undying love.
Rock Star had a melody that played straight to my heart. A mesmerizing story of two people who are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. With tragedy, rules and promises hanging over them can Axel and Phoenix find the words and rhythm to their own personal love song. This emotional story is not only angsty but full of passion, steam and a chemistry that will set you on fire. As these rockstars set the beat, my pulse raced, my soul was serenaded and my heart was full. Take a chance on this rock god and his firebird because the beautiful music these two create will have you swooning and falling in love.
Rock Star was a gripping and sweet rockstar romance with tons of heart. There was so much more than just sex, drugs and rock and roll to this story. I fell quickly for Axel and his beautiful yet broken heart. Phoenix was just the breath of fresh air Axel needed in his life. Their instant attraction and bond kept me hooked as ghosts of their past and life’s unexpected twists threatened to tear them apart. I loved how the lyrics woven throughout the story depicted the depth of these amazing characters emotions. The descriptions of the amazing places they visited made me feel like I was alongside them on tour. Fast paced, emotional, and heartwarming Rock Star was such a great read that I’m eagerly looking forward to more of ChiMera and Vanilla Sky.
I LOVE Axel and Phoenix. Their chemistry is off the charts and this storyline will pull you in from the very beginning. You will get a glimpse into the rock star world and know why that comes with its own issues. This book is a must read even if rock star romances aren’t your thing, you will love it.
Absolutely loved it! Phoenix and Axels chemistry was next level but both are dealing with a dark past that leaves there possible future with more then a few bumps but they are having trouble denying the pull they have to each other. Definitely recommend

Daiko totally rocked this rock star story! This wasn’t her typical kind of story but man oh man did she nail it!! May be my fav of hers so far. Plenty of lies, drama and of course scorching hot sex (gigglesnorts). It was also full of passion and emotion.
This book has made it to my top favorites of 2019 so far! It’s impossible to not be wrapped up immediately in this book. Once the story begins to unfold, it’s fast and keeps you wanting to know more.
This is a gripping and enthralling love story, with a lot of twists and turns that you can’t begin to imagine. It’s full of unconditional love based on a past shared experience, one that has broken their hearts and souls but that themselves can mend, and subsequently heal each other.
When a book touches you right down to your soul, to your core at the first few paragraphs, you know that you are in for an epic adventure.

Rock Star is a sweet story about Phoenix Johnson, a young woman trying to make ends meet to help her family and a dream of making it big as a singer – songwriter. She has the chance of a lifetime when she auditions to be a backup singer for rock band ChiMera. Yet tragedy has struck the band, leaving lead singer Axel Wainwright and the rest of the band in limbo. Coming back from rehab, aiming to have a European tour and living the life of a Rock Star is hard on this band and this can be seen through their interactions with each other.
The relationship between Phoenix and Axel is really sweet and sexy as they both have their individual goals but also an instant attraction which is hard to keep a secret. You really see the struggles that both characters have to overcome issues that are going on/have been going on in their lives and it feels very real when you’re reading it. Interaction between the other band members at times is really funny and sweet and paints a picture of what it is like to be on the road all of the time, doing what you love with miles of temptations put into your way.
This is the first time I have read a book by this author and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Fast-paced, descriptive, sweet and steamy. A must read for all those who love a good Rock Star novel with a strong heroine.

Axel Wainwright. British rock god. Bad boy. He sets the crowds on fire with his voice and his words. Singing back up for him is my dream job. My big chance to get recognized and become a star. Music is my life and now it consumes me. He consumes me. But I have my career to think about; I’ve worked years for this. I need to keep my distance from Axel, or he will burn me to ashes. Except, guess what? The best-laid plans have a habit of going wrong. My name is Phoenix Johnson, and, like Icarus, I’ve flown too close to the sun.
Axel Wainwright is the lead singer for the band ChiMera. He is everything you would expect and alpha male rock star to be. This band is tight and they consider themselves more of a family than a band. However Axel is going through some rough times. Phoenix doesn’t meet Axel in the best of circumstances. These two have a story to tell, that’s for sure. It is fill with sex, drugs and rock and roll and will have you reading as fast as you can. There is also some love, lust, loss and lots of secrets and I do not want to give any of those secrets away. Rock star romances are not my favorite kind of books to read and I’ve never figured out why but Rock Star was a good book told in duel points of views which I do love. This is one that I am sure a lot of you are going to love.
This is the first book that I have read from this author and I enjoyed the book. Alex and Phoenix were a great couple. Quick rock star romance that will leave you wanting more.

Wow what a fantastic read, I really enjoyed this Rockstar Romance from S.C.Daiko she did such a great job at writing about musicians,I could not put it down.The story flowed beautifully along and it was so easy to get caught up in the book.
Axel Wainwright stole my heart once a badboy but now hes turned his life around, him and his band ChiMera recruit Phoenix Johnson as a backup singer so they can resume their world tour after being in rehab.
The chemistry between them is instant,but there is a rule that you don’t sleep with employees plus Phoenix has sworn off men after past hurts.But going on tour and seeing eachother everyday,getting to know eachother,proves that keeping their feelings under control will prove to be difficult.
Of course there is alot more to this story than meets the eye as both Axel and Phoenix have their own issues in their lives and it makes the book so enthralling.
This is an Amazing read,emotional ,sexy and completely riveting it kept me flipping those pages until the end.
Rockstar Romance fans will love it I highly recommend it.
This book was wonderfully written with characters that was so well created that I was glued to my kindle from the very first page! The interaction between Axel and Phoenix was very enjoyable and their chemistry was off the charts HOT which kept me totally captivated as I turned each and every page until the very end!
A steamy rock romance that doesn’t disappoint! I loved the sizzling chemistry between Axel and Phoenix. I enjoyed the storyline and the easy flow with just the right amount of drama and loads of heat level that will keep you entertained. A definite must read!
This was a good rock star romance. Axel and Phoenix are layered characters who are both fighting their demons. They find that it is easier when the fight together. The band ChiMera is made up of four best friends, each with their own personalities that work. When Phoenix goes on tour with them, she can’t help the attraction to Axel. Bonds and relationships will be tested, but love always wins. I enjoyed this story.
This is most definitely my favorite book by this author yet. The characters were seriously amazing and you just couldn’t help but love them so much. I really could not put down and the entire story kept me hooked once I started it and did not let go. So freaking good!
Hands Off The Background Singer
Sex, drugs and rock and roll; that’s how Axel lived his life being the frontman for the famous rock band ChiMera. That is until he found his sister and background singer, Ella, dead from an overdose. The rest of the guys in the band were no better so they cancelled upcoming shows and they all went to rehab after Ella’s death. Now they’re back and ready to continue the European leg of their tour but they need to hire another background singer.
Phoenix was trying to support her parents who had a rough go of it because her mom was fighting cancer. She had dreams of being a lead singer of a rock band and she had sworn off men so it should have been easy for her to follow the band’s number one rule…no sleeping with the employees of ChiMera. All of this when she felt such a pull to Axel and according to her he was a rock god!!
Even with this being the first book I read from this author I have to say that for me she knocked it out of the park and has me waiting on pins and needles for the next book in this series. I loved her style of writing and the characters she gave us. A definite go to for rock romance authors from now on.
All the rock-star feels are within these pages.
The Hero is to die for. God, he is sugary sweet. Axel had me swooning, left, right, and center.
You have the drama.
The jealousy.
The lies.
Everything you’d expect, including the hot sex.
I loved the hero’s nickname for the heroine. It wasn’t the usual nickname I read in romance books.
The author nailed the songwriting and storytelling. The story flowed perfectly.
S. C. created a hero worth loving. I thought it was so sexy when the Hero admitted his jealousy in a romantic matter instead of an abusive matter. Each time they voiced, ‘I love yous,’ I swooned harder.
“You did good, Firebird,” his voice purred. “So proud of you.”
Axel stared down at me, his eyes burning into mine. “Were you jealous?” “Me? Jealous?” My cheeks flamed. “As if…” “You definitely were jealous.” He smirked. “Like I was when I saw you with Liam.”
“And I love you, Firebird. So. Fucking. Much.” I pulled her back into my lap. “Your turn now, baby.” I angled my face and kissed her, my mouth crashing against hers, my tongue pushing between her lips.
“And I love you, Axel. So. Fucking. Much.” We kissed until I was ready for her again. I slipped my fingers into her and smiled when I found she was also ready for me.

Get comfortable before starting. My eyes were glued to the pages until I finished reading it.
Rock Stars are one of my favourite genres so one of my favourite authors writing one is amazing and my god she can turn her hand to anything.
From the first page I was gripped, I couldn’t put it down but really didnt want it to end.
Well done, what an amazing read
4*
