How can I give my heart when it’s already taken?
Lisa always hits it out of the park with her rockstar romances! This one is no different! You will fall in love with Dax by the end of the book! Dax goes on a dating show and has several women lined up for dates but perhaps his heart is already taken? You’ll have to read to find out what happens and if you’ve read some of Lisa’s other books you’ll love how some of those characters work into Dax story!
One thing that I’ve realized as I have read Lisa Suzanne books is that her novels are told in unique ways. I fell in love with her humor and chemistry in her writing while reading the Courting San Diego Series, so when this book came out, I jumped at the chance to read it.
Not Just Another Rock Star Romance has Dax, the lead singer of MFB, trying to make his way through a reality dating show. The ladies on the show nail every stereotype from the reality shows of today, which just makes you laugh. Dax isn’t really trying to find love; he is just hoping for exposure for his band and some money in the bank. When he realizes he may have fallen in love and yet again the woman seems to not want him, he has to decide what to do and how truthful to be.
I didn’t realize that Dax was in her novel Not Just Another Romance Novel. After finishing this book, I went back to read Not Just Another Romance Novel and wish that I had read it first mainly because I understood (and loved!) Dax more after reading it. So while it’s not necessary to read Not Just Another Romance Novel first, I would personally.
I received an advance reader copy and chose to read it and review it on my own.
I honestly had no clue what this book was going to be about prior to reading it. At first, I was a little skeptical of the idea of a reality show for a rock star, until I saw where Dax’s mind was at. Then, the story began to make more sense to me, and i really enjoyed it. This is a definite HEA story, that now had me wanting to go back to read the original story where he first appeared.
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, but the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is an incredible fun page turning read. Reality show aspect was so fun and rock star Dax for the win. It was a lighthearted and had me laughing out loud through entire book. A must read!!
This book is definitely not your typical rock star romance, yes there is angst and tension but there is this entertaining and fun element that makes this book so much more. It was fun to read about Dax and the reality dating show while trying to sort out his feelings for the contestants and everyone else, all the while getting ready to go on the biggest tour of the band’s career. Such a great read.
This was such a phenomenal read! I love Lisa Suzanne’s work and her rock star romances are so amazing. Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is fun, unique with an imaginative twist to your typical rock star story. I loved the idea behind this, it was like nothing I have read before.
Dax is a fascinating and complex character. I have to admit he drove me crazy at times and I actually wanted to slap him at times because of his poor choices and decisions! Saying that however, I actually really enjoyed reading how much he grows and changes throughout the story and we get to see different sides and facets to his character, his struggles and his sensitive and sweet side. I really felt so much for him with his struggles and his feelings towards Kylie. I absolutely loved watching him fall completely in love with her and be sentimental and lovely towards her.
I particularly adored seeing Mark and Reese in this book (one of my favourite book couples ever) and I always appreciate their helpfulness and guidance.
This is such a fun packed entertaining book. I found myself completely intrigued and transfixed by it all. It is so well-written and so clever with so much romance and heart in between all of the shenanigans of Reality TV!
I loved it. It was a memorable and spectacular read and I would highly recommend!!!
Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is a modish & innovative novel that is so much fun to read as it doesn’t fit into the cookie cutter romance. I absolutely loved the setting of a reality dating show that is similar, but different to the bachelor reality franchise series. I loved seeing the dating profiles with pictures and trying to guess who the rock star Dax will pick. We get a mixture of a reality dating show & a rock band touring show blended together with a few twists thrown in. I love the characters & their friendships just as much as the narrative. A super sexy, and playful read.
Lisa has grown such a wonderful book world with Vail and while the Vail fam only make a brief appearance in this book, I loved seeing them again!!
While this is a standalone, I was So glad I read Not Just Another Romance Novel first so I could “meet” Dax. He plays a fairly large role in that book and you get to see more of him and learn about his past relationships.
As an admitted Bachelor lover, I loved this book so much!! The reality tv aspect was so fun to read. I loved the bios about each of the girls and bookmarked them to go back and look at them all.
Whenever someone asks for rock romance suggestions I always suggest Lisa right away and will add this one to that list!
Boy do I love Lisa Suzanne’s words and her rock star romances. This one was no different but I gotta admit – I had a love/hate relationship with Dax Hunter. There were a lot of times I wanted to shake him, I was screaming ‘why’ at my screen whenever his actions pissed me off and it happened plenty of times.
But, thankfully, there were more sides to him other than the playboy rock star image he was giving the world in the show. And I loved his other sides too much to actually hate the guy. My most favorite was a Dax in love – I felt so much for him for struggling with loving someone he shouldn’t and couldn’t have but I did love watching him love her and be all sentimental and sweet towards her. It definitely got my poor love addict heart going.
I LOVED the idea of the reality show, it was so fun and interesting and unlike anything I’ve read before. I loved it a lot, even though most of the things I hated about Dax happened on that show. It was a bit messed up but what reality tv show isn’t? So you did great, Lisa. It was such an epic book, it kind of felt like I was watching the bachelor or bachelor pad sometimes.
If you’re looking for an entertaining, romantic and epic rock star romance, look no further cuz this is the book for you! Oh and guess who makes an appearance….. VAIL! I died. I had missed my boys. Mark and Reese help Dax get the girl and it’s so cute and romantic. I loved it all. And all of them.
A fun enjoyable read! I really enjoyed the characters, and putting this rock star in a reality dating show setting is so good! I enjoyed this storyline and the flow of the story.
Kylie is a take no crap character, and says exactly what’s on her mind. Dax is a sexy rock star, with sarcasm, and who is in denial about his feelings. These two are denying their feelings for each other.
The only thing is that when these two finally get together, I felt I didn’t get to enjoy them as a couple. We didn’t get that many moments of them together throughout the story. The moments they are together are wonderful, and you can feel their attraction for each other’s.
Overall, this is a quick, drama filled, fun read!
Rock Star Reality Show
Dax is the lead singer of an up and coming band who is getting its big break and will be touring with VAIL shortly. To help get some additional exposure Kiley, MFB’s manager, talks Dax into going on a reality show where there will be ten women vying for the love connection with Dax. He is a little surprised that Kylie thinks this would be good for him because he was hoping that Kylie possibly had feelings for him.
This story had me loving and hating Dax all at the same time. He was the typical rock star that already had women at his disposal but this show had him looking a little deeper than just the physical connection. All that did once he really thought about it was bring Kylie to the forefront in his mind. This was a great rock romance that was a page turner for me. I’m looking forward to more of Ms. Suzanne’s books in the near future.
Without a doubt, Lisa Suzanne has such a talent. I always light up with excitement when her latest rock star romance hits my kindle. Not Just Another Rock Star Romance is a story that just screams for a 5 star rating. This one was a bit different than her others, but I enjoyed it just as much. Maybe even more, especially with Vail making an appearance. I love my Vail boys!
Dax is the front man for the band MFB and he is pressured by his manager to take part in a dating reality show. Love is the last thing that he is looking for, but he agrees because he feels that it would be good publicity for the band. Not to mention, he has never been able to say no to Kylie. Now I wasn’t real sure how I felt about Dax at first. More times than not, I found him to be very frustrating, but there was more to him that meets the eye.
As he goes on these different dates for the show, his thoughts always lead back to Kylie. He just can’t seem to shake her from his mind, and ultimately discovers that deep down, he’s in love with her. Unfortunately for him, she’s off limits due to a no bang oath that he made with his bandmates. Will he be able to stay away from her or will the two of them end up together?
Thank you Lisa for this amazing story! You’ve outdone yourself once again. This is definitely not a book to be missed. It really captures your attention from the first page to the last with the hot chemistry and great character development.
