Sinfully sexy rock stars are the cornerstone of New York Times Bestselling Author, S.L. Scott’s prolific career. The Rebellion is the newest STAND-ALONE that brings soul-searing romance mixed with heartfelt emotions to fans of this genre.I met my muse at fifteen. I’d just gotten busted for smoking behind the school gymnasium. She inspired me with her laugh and nonjudgmental attitude and, before I … attitude and, before I knew it, we were inseparable. Then I left to pursue my rock star dreams—dreams she encouraged.
I got over Jaymes Grenier no problem. I never think about that little bow at the top of her pink lips, or the way her green eyes admired mine. Nope, I barely recall the way she fit so perfectly in my arms when I held her at night. The sweet way she would whisper she loved me has long faded from memory.
These are the lies I regularly tell myself in hopes of believing them one day. Yeah, I was told I’d get over my first love.
I didn’t.
Derrick Masters marked me the moment we met back in ninth grade. He called me over—all bravado and bad boy mystery wrapped in a James Dean-esque package. Dark hair and blue eyes with a rebel without a cause charisma. He was everything I was warned about, but I couldn’t resist. I was his from that moment on.
His career took off almost as soon as he did. I knew it would. I just thought I would be beside him as his partner in crime, best friend, and lover. That’s what we had always been … before he left me behind to fend for myself.
Fend? Fight is more like it.
I’ve been fighting ever since.
Fighting for survival.
Fighting for a better life in a world determined to keep me down.
I don’t have the luxury of letting my head live in the lure of La La Land. His dreams may have come true, but mine were extinguished. These days I fight for something bigger than me, bigger than we were ever meant to be.
When his dreams come crashing back into my reality, is this a second chance at that fairy tale ending or another heartbreak in the making?

I am in awe of S.L. Scott and her ability to write rockstar romance. The angst and suspense combined with a powerful love story is everything I crave when I start one of her books. The writing is thrilling, gripping and keeps the reader addicted to the storyline and characters. The Rebellion was all of this and more. Derrick and Jaymes are officially my FAVOURITE couple in the series! Jaymes has endured a lot. She is fierce, loves and protects her son and never stopped loving Derrick. She is resilient and a true FIGHTER. She has come through some really tough times. Derrick is the lead guitarist and singer in the band The Resistance. He is not a perfect man and not without his flaws but he is irresistible, swoony and oh so sexy. He loves Jaymes with so much intensity. Reading this book took me on such an emotional journey I never wanted it to end. This is one of my top favourite second chance love stories of all time.
I adored the narration done by Sebastian York and Ava Erickson. The emotion and power in their voices were spot on and bring so much realness to these characters.
Derrick and Jaymes … their story is everything.
That’s something I don’t say very often or lightly. But this book could not be more perfect.
It broke me in the worst and best way possible.
I cried ugly tears over what Jaymes had to endure … a fate no woman deserves, a fate no woman should have to go through … ever!
I swooned at how perfect Derrick is … romantic, protective, possessive, caring … he’s a dream come true. A man and partner every woman should have by her side!
And I laughed out loud at Ace and his charm and antics. He is just adorable and sometimes the much needed lightness to the sensitive, oppressive and dark parts of this story.
But this book is not only highly emotional, heartbreaking and soul-crushing, but also suspenseful and gripping on a very high level. Sometimes it made me hold my breath because I worried so much … It literally kept me on the edge of my seat.
I’ve said it before, and I have to repeat it now: Ms. Scott has ruined me for every rock star romance except hers!
