Six months ago our future began. It’s about to get rocked… revenge.
Noelle
I’m a hopeless romantic with a dirty mouth. After almost giving up on love, I’ve been lured away from my safety net to try one more time.
I’m willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto Lane, and I’m fiercely protective.
I don’t know if I can accept the truth.
My fears consume me.
And I might have to walk away.
Note: This is the second standalone in the Midnight Fate Series. Both books focus on a different couple. They can be read as a standalone or enjoyed together.

Rock the City is a wonderful thunderstorm that is sure to sink its nails into your heart and send you on an emotional roller coaster.
This is more than just a romance or two people falling in love. Its discovering your future and fighting for it even when unforseen obstacles threaten that future. Its about real life because nothing is perfect, bad shit happens, and you must learn to stick it out through the storm. That is what Rock the City is all about. Yes, you still get steamy sex scenes and a very swoon worthy hero, a filthy mouthed, badass female heroine, and even a little bit of rock music, but it is sooo much more than that. Reading this book felt like I was getting three books in one and it meshed perfectly.
Rock the City is Lane (the drummer of Midnight Fate) and Noelle’s (Larks best friend) story. I loved that their relationship is already established and Gia did a perfect job detailing how their relationship came about and how they maintained a long distance relationship wile Lane was touring. So the story begins when the tour ends and Noelle goes to New York to spend two weeks with Lane after he’s been on tour for 6 months. Everything is perfect with the couple until its not and everything gets in the way of their time together. Let me just say that these are my favorite characters in the entire world. They are perfect, flaws and all. Lane says whatever is on his mind, he doesn’t hold back his feelings and knows how to communicate and read Noelle. I seriously have not read a book with incredible dialogue, but I give Gia a standing fucking ovation. Noelle is a smart ass, who also says whatever is on her mind and has a filthy mouth dirty mind. Now that’s my kind of girl. She is so understanding and sticks by Lane’s side no matter the obstacle. She did some incredible things in this book that I will not spoil. But she is a true ride or die.
If you did not read Rock the Boat it’s okay, you still get enough of Lark and Easton and I loved every minute they were in this book. While you won’t exactly know their background, those who did read Rock the Boat will not be disappointed if they want more Lark and Easton. We even get a little of Dom and Gina. So while the story revolves around Lane and Noelle we still are getting more of other people’s story at the same time because it affect the main characters. I loved that while reading this book. There is also a person who gets introduced from Lane’s past who will be a big part of the book and it is an epic roller coaster. I cannot express how much this character impacted my emotions and made reading this book so emotional for me. Gia’s ability to intertwine different characters stories into that of these two main characters was astounding. I wanted to hug myself when it was said and done and there nothing left for me to do but close the book.
I urge you to pick this book up because it is a heartwarming tale. The writing is beautiful, poetic, and flows easily. You will not want to put this book down. I laughed, cried, and screamed with giddiness through each page. Rock the City is probably one of the best romance novels I have ever read. I mean I can’t even wrap my mind around how amazing the dialogue was all by itself. I live for every word that came out of Lane’s mouth and the wisdom and selfless amount of love that Noelle gave to those important to her. So thank you Gia Riley for writing something so amazing and sharing it with me. This book will stick with me for a very long time.
