It was lyrics at first sight when I saw Violet Rhodes across that crowded party. She was lights and darks, swirled together. Music in motion. And all of it while looking like a hitwoman at an Elvis convention. I had nothing to offer the intriguing girl but a one-night stand. I figured I’d revel in my last night of anonymity before my first tour and shoot her a quick “We’ll always have L.A.!” … L.A.!” goodbye the next morning.
But nothing went according to plan.
In one night, Violet crawled under my skin and into my bloodstream. She tattooed her name across my chest and between my legs. She became my muse. And then she was gone.
Now, months later, here she is again. And in a twist I never saw coming, it turns out Violet is ultra-violet radiation. Beautiful, ethereal light bringing with her the promise of damage and destruction.
My brain tells me to walk away from this girl, but my heart can’t stop feeling like she might be one of a kind . . . the sort of girl who comes along once in a violet moon.

I always feel like my review never does a Lauren Rowe book any justice, but I sure always try. First off, the Morgan family as a whole has meant so much. If you have not read the books on this family then you absolutely need to do so. The entire Morgan family has honestly meant the world to me and each sibling has been an absolute pleasure to read about. When you read about these individuals, it’s not just another character in a story. Lauren Rowe has made her characters like real people, they spring off the pages and come to life and you feel like you know them while you read their stories. She truly weaves magic in everything she writes. Everything is carefully plotted and she never misses a beat.
Rockstar is about Dax, and he is just that, a complete an utter rockstar. He has such a raw talent that stands out to everyone who meets him. He is easy on the eyes just like his siblings, but he is so much more than good looks and fantastic hair. He is a genuine and deep person. He meets the stunning Violet Rhodes and it takes one look to completely flip his entire world upside down. She is inspiration, she is everything he could ever search for.
Sparks happen for Dax and Violet and we have to see what path their journey will take. Dax has the biggest moments of his life coming and Violet has secrets that she is scared to death to reveal. Neither can deny their attraction for one another though and we’ll get to experience an amazing journey with each of these characters both together and separately.
You will get all the feels with this read. You’ll truly belly laugh, you’ll experience deeper emotions, and you’ll experience pure joy. There was no emotion not touched for me personally. Lauren Rowe really pours her heart and soul into these books and I am so glad I have taken each and every journey of her books. Rockstar can be read as a complete standalone, but trust me if this is your first Morgan family read, you will want to grab them all. Happy reading!
Rockstar romances are my kryptonite, my go to reads, so when I saw RockStar on my kindle…. well this definitely made my day.
If you are a firm follower of the Morgan family then this book will be on your reading device before the end of release day or high on your tbr list at the very least. This is the story of Dax Morgan, the youngest of the Morgan family and Rockstar of said family since the age of two. I absolutely loved him. From meeting him before his rise to fame to seeing him hit superstar status, I adored the person he was and continued to be and I think that his personality has a lot to do with his fabulous family and his upbringing. The struggle that I witnessed when he knew what he wanted in life would cause upset to others saddened me, and I felt every emotion as his head and heart fought with each other to make the right decision for everyone. However, I really wanted him to make the right choice for him because of the person he is, plus I firmly believe that all good people deserve happiness in life.
Violet Rhodes intrigued me and by the end of the book, she was someone who I greatly admired and respected. She intrigued me because she had an upbringing that broke my heart and yet she was someone who gave freely to others. Her beauty isn’t just skin deep and so I was rooting for Violet to find happiness too. Whether or not that happens, you will have to read the book to find out.
There were moments of heartache, joy and laughter throughout the book, plus some twists and turns that always get a thumbs up from me. There are a couple of things that didn’t suit my taste in this book but it is definitely a story that I would recommend everyone to read. I dare you not to fall in love with Dax Morgan!!
4.5 stars I think that I have been hiding under a rock because this is my first book by this author and I am blown away! This beautifully written book is more than just your typical rockstar romance. The author creates wonderful characters than you cannot help, but love and want to end up together.
Dax is an up and coming star who feels instant “fireflies” when he meets Violet. The intense “soul connection” between the two of them is palpable. I love how much Dax loves his family – his blood relatives (he has 4 siblings), band members and members of the band he is touring with – as well as his creativity. He is the ultimate book boyfriend who is learning to navigate the waters of fame. Violet is a likable heroine in that she is caring, selfless, and creative. She is the kind of girl that I would love to be friends with. One of the things that I really liked about Rockstar is that the author spent time developing their relationship – yes, there was instant lust, but she also made it feel like the reader was there as the two got to know each other. Obstacles were thrown in their way and there are a few twists and turns.
There is also humor in that the Morgans are quite entertaining as are Dax’s bandmates Colin and especially Fish. I am really hoping that some of the other characters in this book get their own stories. Overall, I really enjoyed Rockstar as the characters are very likable and well developed and I love the themes of loyalty to family and finding that one person who deeply touches your soul.
Good heavens! I love this book so much! Not only do we get the wonderful Morgan family and friends, but Dax, because we love him the most!
Rockstar has it all. Great plot, humour, heart and, at its centre, Dax and Violet. What’s not to love about this fabulous couple! Their story is explosive, scintillating and filled with love. The presence of the greater family is a wonderful counterpoint to Violet’s background and creates a further deeply felt layer to the book. There are so many wonderfully expressed/written emotional scenes in this book that both made me smile with joy, and some that brought a distinct lump to my throat.
Bravo Lauren. This book is a stunner and I have loved every single word. Xxxx
HOLY COW… The Morgan Brother’s are a force to be reckoned with on this reader’s heart. Each book in the series has just gotten better and better. I won’t goes as far as to say Ms. Rowe has left the best for last, because all the Morgan’s stories are simply phenomenal in their own ways, but Rockstar, Dax the baby brother, has simply been tattooed on my heart. Kudo’s Ms. Rowe for a very well written, heartfelt, romantic storyline that had this girl sighing throughout as well as laughing and cheering for the Morgan Mafia.
Dax has always been the quiet, reclusive brother outside the Morgan home. But now he’s on the road to being a Rockstar. The 22 Goats are going on tour, opening for one of the hottest groups around. At the tour launch party Dax meets a girl, Violet, that not only gives him fireflies on the inside, she gets his creative song lyric juices flowing with just one look. After just one night Dax is hooked. But Violet leaves him with no explanation as to why other than to say it’s better this way.
From here the story takes off. It’s a world wind tour that will have you clutching your ereaders and your emotions feeling all the fun, happy, sad, painful, gut wrenching times right along with the characters. This has been an Amazing series that I hate seeing come to an end. But who knows maybe we will get Colin, Fish Tacos and a few other few other’s stories down the road. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Amazing stars for Rockstar, a story that will truly Rock your world right along with Dax and Violet. I Highly Recommend grabbing all the Morgan Brother stories. You won’t be story you did.
Dax *sighs* and Violet’s story is EVERYTHING! Lauren Rowe, Rockstar deserves all the stars in the universe!
I have read and loved all of Lauren’s books. I have fallen in love with each and every one of her Morgan brothers. With each book I swear that brother is the love of my life. Dax is no exception and is on a level all his own. Daxy deserves all the swoony stars.
Dax is creative, intuitive, humble, sexy as sin. Obviously being a Morgan also means his character is original and defies all the traditional or common rocker stereotypes. Dax felt he had found his other half when he met Violet. The inspiration and flow – there is no substitute for that level of connection! Wicked chemistry!
Violet is phenomenal heroine. She’s strong, intellectual, loyal and despite her past and the baggage that comes along with it – she has integrity, is selfless and an overall amazing person.
Their journey is magnificent in all it’s lustful yet gut wrenching glory. From the moment they met and through all their tribulations – every detail was impeccably written. The humor and build up are all perfectly executed. How their story unfolds – extraordinary! I can’t gush enough about how much I adore this author and her beautiful words. She is a pre-order, one-click favorite and has been for years. And her audiobooks are freakin’ amazing! I love them ALL.
SOOO GOOD!!!!!! Lauren Rowe went above and beyond with this one. I mean she gave us not only lyrics in the book, she gave us a MUSIC VIDEO!!!!! You can watch the MUSIC VIDEO for “FIREFLIES”, an ORIGINAL SONG from ROCKSTAR here: https://youtu.be/6mc27ejlxjg
If you are new to Lauren’s books, this will be the perfect introduction to her epic-ness!
Dax and Violet. I absolutely loved these two. I loved them together, but I also loved their characters themselves. This was an amazing ride that I didn’t want to end. There were also twists and turns that I totally didn’t see coming. I actually stopped reading and went, “wow”! I 100% recommend this epic, mind blowing awsome-ness. Definitely a top read of mine this year!
Where do I start and what can I say that hasn’t already been said before……..
Rockstar and it’s cast blew me away, this book captivated and consumed me and there was no putting down until I had read the final line. This story has all the feels you want in a great read, it has characters that you will fall in love with as you get to know them their family and their friends.
Lauren Rowe has not only given us a love story she has also given us an insight into the life and loves of Dax and Violet, we share the family traditions the nicknames and the banter as we embark on this journey and who could forget the music!!!!! Well if you have seen the trailer for Rockstar you would have gotten a flash of how great this book is. I’m in love with the Morgan clan and I’m sure you will be to if you give this stand-alone a chance. Rockstar is a must read for all lovers of rockstars and it’s a must read for all lovers of romance, well let’s be honest it’s just a MUST READ !!!
Dax… Dax… Dax… ….
Rockstar romance 5 star because I can’t add more… so let’s start Dax… and well Dax and Violet story got me in a fantastic journey. This book is like no other, have you seen the video? Ok I have it on my YouTube channel book playlist for you to quickly find it, you need to watch it.
This rockstar romance is so much more than what I expected. Family is such an important part of it. Music is what brings them all together and love is what flourish with every page you turn. Twist and turns, ups and downs, upside down and all around this ride will take you on all emotional directions. I think I wasn’t prepare for all of them. I loved it I simply loved it so much, this one deserves and audiobook soon for me to have another go. Can be read as a standalone and you might want to read the rest after.
You know that you have struck gold with an author and a series when you want to crawl into the book and become part of their world!
That is how I feel about Lauren Rowe and the whole Morgan clan!
We have met Dax in the previous books in the series but we never had the chance to experience him, to see his creative side and fall in love with his huge heart! He has come to life with the amazing songs that he writes and the beautiful words that he speaks. He truly is a Rockstar!
In true Morgan form, when he sees her, he knows in his head and heart that there is something magical about that woman.
Violet is beautiful, unique and intriguing and exactly what Dax is looking for but when she doesn’t leave him her number he will have to wait until the whole music tour is over to even see if she is still available and interested.
This is a fantastic story about finding love and happiness combined with flawless writing that will have you laughing out loud as you experience the Morgan’s and to complete the story, adding in a few twist and turns to keep you flipping those pages.
Although all of the books in the series can be read as standalones I highly recommend you take a chance to experience each one because together they complete the whole picture!
My Dex, my artist that can only write when his muse is next to him!
First, i love the cover and the video as it’s the first time that I’ve seen something like this (also fangirling a bit over Dylan :)))
I loved everything in this book,from the writing that kept me reading the book in one sitting, to the great characters and family and friends, how the author made a point of what a real and fulfilling life means, how easy they bond and how important is to have them near at any moment of our life, without judgements and always there to support and help. I must admit that i envy their easy going and strong feelings towards each other, i wish i had a family like that.
There are moments when someone walks into our life and the connection of that missing puzzle is immediately felt and if you are smart enough, you’ll never let go of that person,but as always, life throws many obstacles in the way of happiness and it takes courage and sacrifice to overcome those impediments to finally set down and feel that peace that only true love can bring in our hearts.
“Longing.Need.Yearning.Lust.Understanding.It all passes between us palpably.”
All this is part of the story between Dex and Violet, a story full of instant lust and the agony of losing something that you think is perfect for you: “If you’re blue, it’s because you’re perfectly human, not because you’re broken”, finding it again and fighting for it against all the consequences because it’s the only person that brings Fireflies in you and makes them brighter than anything else in the world.
“Keeping your own dreams alive will ultimately be the thing that allows you to give the best of yourself to the people you love the most.”
A perfect rockstar romance that everyone should read.
5 THIS BOOK ROCKED MY WORLD STARS!!!
What can I POSSIBLY say about this book; this EPIC, MIND-BLOWING, CRAZY, SWOONY, SEXY, DELICIOUS, roller-coaster-ride-of-fun, ANGST and a grab-your-heart-strings HEA at the end of it all?! Lauren Rowe has given us ALLLLLLL THE THINGS with this one, folks…and I don’t know HOW she can ever top it!!!
Dax Morgan is the last of Morgan clan to find his “one I love the most” and let me just say that Ms. Rowe has saved the best for last! Although, in my humble opinion, Colby MAY be just a smidge hotter….but I digress! Dax isn’t LOOKING to settle down but when he meets one Violet Rhodes at a party, the SIZZLING chemistry is evident and he becomes “intrigued” with her, only for her to run cold on him (for reasons that you’ll have to read the book to find out!) Suffice it to say that Violet sparks MORE than Dax’s creative juices and the story takes off from there!
I absolutely adore Violet’s character….she’s just lovely, and considering her past history, that’s a feat of epic proportions! She’s so strong-willed and feisty, so loving and beautiful…and she’s ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for Dax! I fell in love with her right along with Dax and the rest of the Morgan’s!
This AMAZING, complete standalone in the Morgan Family saga, will set fire to your imagination and you’ll NEED to read the other books because they are THAT GOOD!!! I cannot recommend this book, this series OR this author strongly enough!!!
Bravo Lauren on a beautiful story not just about love but about the journey of life and two souls fusing together in harmony. I’m trying to put together all that I felt while reading this story. I’ve enjoyed all the stories of the Morgan clan, but I think Rockstar is my favorite. I definitely had a wide range of emotions. I was angry, livid, pissed, happy, elated, joyous, sad, remorseful, and ecstatic! Plus probably a thousand others!
Dax is the baby and I think it’s pretty fitting that his book comes at the tail of the Morgan fam. Seeing his personality come to life in his own standalone story has me at a loss for words. I had moments where I was proud of him, and then moments where I was so disappointed in him. I loved that. He wasn’t a one dimensional character. He was multifaceted and human. Lauren captures how tortured he was at each pivotal moment in his life. I think once he stood solid on the Morgan fam foundation I truly felt like he was a Rockstar. Not going to lie for me personally there were moments that I really didn’t like him and thought there was a lot of penis logic that went into his actions.
Violet found herself. One of my most favorite lines was a Momma Lou great she said to Violet at the end. It sucker punched me and hit me full force. Momma Lou, even though fictional, gives great advice to those open to hear it. Back to Violet, she found herself but so much more on this journey. I think she is one of my all time fave female characters on how she stumbles, fails, falls, and rises up above the ashes into a beautiful flame and woman. She has such a wisdom beyond her years that I can’t even put into words what I liked about her. Out of all the females Lauren has written, Violet definitely is up there top ranking.
Momma Lou and Thomas are solid gold. I relished the quiet moments we got with Thomas. How touching and genuine they were. It melted my frosty hearty to a gooey center. Momma Lou is still the best book Mom I’ve ever read. She is loyal, full of love, and gives nothing but unconditional support to her circle.
All the Morgan family makes an appearance in this story. I could not love it more. Lauren captures and maintains each members unique relationship with Dax. We get to see it and bask in this family bond that only strengthens as the pages are turned.
Reed… what to say about Reed. This broken man who at one point when talking with Dax had me feeling his yearning. I’m not sure if Lauren meant it to be there or not, but I felt like Reed yearned for so much. I can’t divulge further unless you want spoilers and that wouldn’t be cool. I do hope if the muses speak, we will get a story for Reed.
Overall this book had things I loved, things I wasn’t fond of, and so much more in between. You may wonder why 5 stars if there was stuff I didn’t love. Well here it is. Even though parts weren’t my fave it pulled emotion from me. When an author can give me an emotion from the words bleeding through the pages and I feel it so strongly, that is a testament to their writing and how passionately I felt the words. That is what makes a phenomenal author to me. When I can feel so strongly about fictional people that even if I disliked something I love that I disliked it so ferociously.
With all that said I recommend this read to anyone that loves rockstar romances. Every moment in this story will have you feeling SOMETHING! And that, that is magical.
Can anyone else not get enough of the Morgan clan? Lauren Rowe just keeps bringing us more and more of her raw talent and intimate glimpses into this incredible family.
Dax is incredible. He is such a raw talent, however, there is much more to him than meets the eye. It took ONE look at the beautiful and unique Violet Rhodes to turn his world upside down. What is it about her? She inspires him, makes him want to be better and is just what he needs. She is definitely his muse and his portal to writing amazing music. Dax does his best to move forward, but can he really stay away from Violet?
Violet is also a girl that has many hidden secrets. One thing she cannot deny is her instant chemistry to Dax. What is it about him? She knows she should stay away, but finds it near impossible. They have a chemistry that one can only dream about. She is completely drawn to him. He is like a drug she cannot steer from.
As usual, you get the Morgan banter and will be filled with laughter and ALL the feels. Lauren pulled out all of the stops on this one.
I highly recommend reading this book!
FAN GIRL DOWN!!! This book was true love. Dax and Violet’s journey was freaking fantastic. From their instant connection through the separation all the way to the end my heart was aching for them. The love, not only between Dax and Violet, but the whole Morgan Mafia, just leaps off the page. Plus the music!! OMG the lyrics were so amazing. Don’t miss the unique experience Lauren Rowe has offered with the YouTube link! I am going to miss all the Morgans and their craziness, especially the nicknames, and I am so glad that I stumbled upon this series. I can not recommend it enough.
Rockstar is a wonderful, unique story that captivated me from the very first page. My love of Lauren Rowe started with the Club series featuring Jonah and his brother Josh. Josh eventually marries Kat Morgan and her four brothers are then introduced to us in their own books–Hero, Captain, Ball Peen Hammer, Mister Bodyguard (featuring a friend), and finally Rockstar. Rockstar is a hands-down, fabulous five star read for me! If you have never read a book by this author and read this, I am sure you will want to devour the other books in this series as well.
Rockstar is about Dax, the youngest of the Morgan siblings, and the woman who steals his heart, Violet. What most impresses me about Lauren’s writing is how she morphs into each character so fluently. Each of her characters has their own personality and you get to know them intimately. She spares no details as their character development flows and grows, and you become more and more invested in their lives as you get to know their every thought and feeling as the book progresses.
I’ve known Dax for years now since I’ve read the other books, and have been waiting patiently for his story. He has had a guitar in his hand since he was in pre-school and has worked at his craft along with his two best friends and paid his dues. Now it’s time for him to shine! His love of music and natural talent land his band, 22 Goats, a record deal, and he is about to embark on his first world-wide tour when he sees a woman across the room and is naturally drawn to her. She feels the same and their instant connection is taken to the next level as they spend the night and next day together.
These characters are so dynamic and honest, and I love their immediate conversation of trying to get to know one other; it’s exactly how it should be. They shared their dreams, what makes them vulnerable, some of their painful past, their family history, past love interests, etc. When they have to say goodbye, they realize what they feel is very deep even though they have only just met, and decide to reconnect after his tour if their feelings are still strong.
I really devoured every word in this book and tried to even read slowly so I wouldn’t miss a thing. I love Lauren’s descriptive writing style and how much I learn after reading her stories. In Rockstar you are taken backstage, learn what it’s like to live on the road, the pressure of being recognized in public, etc.
Violet wants to be a fashion designer and has the kindest, most giving heart. She volunteers her time to make the lives of sick child brighter, and Dax is so enamored with her. He realizes how special she is, but is torn as to what to do about it for reasons that will surface once you read the book.
Violet was someone I truly admired. She knew what she wanted and deserved, had such an easy way about her, was smart, hardworking, talented, genuine, loyal, and so giving. All she wanted was to feel loved and be part of a family.
Dax loved to his very soul. He is so devoted and sweet and the songs he wrote for her said more than any actions ever could. You will love him and swoon the entire time, even when he admits he’s not perfect and works on righting his wrongs to be the best person that he can be.
This book truly was one of Lauren’s best ever! There were so many details to draw you in and keep you reading page after page without stopping for a breath. I felt every emotion they were feeling. How they had to navigate being apart before and after they were committed to one another, how they had to learn to trust what they had was real, and how they accepted that you can’t make everyone happy. This book is about family, commitment, fighting for what you believe in, and simply navigating life.
Dax and Violet had amazing chemistry and their sexy times were off the charts, but I was also impressed with how they communicated with one another and how committed they were to making their relationship work after his first tour. I love all of the supporting characters; everyone reappeared which feels like coming home to me. I love Mamma Lou and Pappa Thomas (his parents), and how the Morgans are so funny, always in each other’s business, and so very supportive and encouraging.
There were so many twists and turns in Rockstar…will they or won’t they, what will happen next, who is her brother, the friendships they formed with the lead band on their tour, how will they navigate his super stardom, how will they balance their personal life. It’s a love story, it’s a drama, it’s a comedy at times…it’s everything I love in a book. The entire time you are reading you are part of their magical journey and the book will end with every single one of your questions answered. I especially loved the epilogue as no romance would be complete without a HEA!
Rockstar by Lauren Rowe is a book to experience. Lauren nailed Dax Morgan perfectly. It is a phenomenal stand alone story that can completely be read on its own, devoured and loved by all. It grabs your heart from the start and NEVER lets go. Each and every swipe of the page make me fall in love with Dax and Violet. This book made me swoon, ripped my heart out and built it back stronger all in one book.
Lauren Rowe is amazingly talented. She writes in a way that connects readers to the characters, so that they feel each and every emotion that character experiences. With each twist and turn of the plot, my heart sped up, sunk to the floor and pitter-pattered frantically as I raced to see what would happen next. I loved each and every moment. She creates characters that are real. So real you want to reach into the book to smack them and hug them at the same time.
Best of all, Rockstar is written in the same world as many of her other stand alone stories. The characters cross-over into many other of her books and you can’t help but be excited to see how their world continues, but it is important to remember this is a story that stands on its own, as well. I absolutely love the Morgan family. I wish I could live in the world Lauren has created. I truly hope this is not the last we see of these amazing characters.
I am dying to see what diabolical creation Lauren has in store for us next.
Stick a fork in me, I’m d. o. n. e. DONE!!!
I started reading Rockstar a couple of days ago. What I really wanted to do, was kick kids, hubby, and hubby to the curb and read, Read, READ!!! But life… *shrugs*
Two days of one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride. Two days of heart palpitations, full body shaking, and tears… All the effing tears!
I feel like I’ve been at a two day 24/7 bootcamp. I’m that exhausted.
Going in I thought I knew what I was getting. I loved it. Then a twist happened and I was like, oh… OOOHHHH! Ten pages later, BAM another twist, and I started googling Lauren Rowe support groups. Plot twist three and I just surrendered. There was nothing else to do. Accept and hope I would be able to digest this whole friggin thing in time to write this review. That didn’t really happen, AT ALL.
So I’m sorry for this less than stellar review. I was not, AM not, equipped to write a sufficient review for this story.
All I can really say is this; Lauren Rowe has written another EPIC story. Full of love, drama, angst, Morganisms, fun and heart. Most of all heart.
Dax and Violet forever <3
Oh I knew I was gonna love this book, I mean come on, more Morgan family goodness, it’s like a no brainer for me and I floved Rockstar.
This is Dax’s story. I love this introverted extrovert. I could totally empathize with him.
This story is going to give you all the feels! It gives you laughter and love. It also gives you heartbreak and tears. I think the thing I loved most about this story is the realism. Not everyone gets a happily ever after. Hearts and feelings get hurt and not all love stories are unicorns and rainbows. Ms. Rowe makes magic with her words, she brings the real and grit to the story.
The lyrics in this story are amazing, and as an avid music lover, Ms. Rowe really knocks it out of the solar system with the words that flow.
The angst in this story is epic. It’s honest and heartfelt and there really isn’t a right answer. But in true Morgan family fashion, it’s all comes down to your family, your tribe and what makes you happy is what matters the most. Screw the haters and the shamers, when it comes down to love, you do you and what’s best for those that you love. I admire that!
Wether you are new to Lauren Rowe or have been with her since the beginning, get your hands on this story! It’s music for your heart and soul and will make you light up like a firefly!
Ugh. I have to write this review. I’m not sure how. I wanna say how I’m feeling, but if I let loose, I’ll give away too much, and you just have to read it for yourself.
I will say this… That Rowe chick… man. She can bring out the extreme emotions in me, which is no easy feat. This book is no exception. It teased me, gave me hope, enraged me, chewed me, picked me up, cradled me to it’s bosom, loved me, and rocked me into oblivion. It takes truckloads of talent to evoke so much emotion in me. (I’m a stone when it comes to emotional reading, trust me.)
I just want more, not the enraging and chewing part necessarily. However, without that, I think the end would have felt less special.
Just read it. It IS an absolute standalone, but there are other books about the Morgan family. I know you’ll want to read the entire series and all Rowe’s other books, and you’ll thank me.
