Synopsis:
An ultimatum can break your heart....
Every night lead singer, Sed Lionheart whips thousands of women into a frenzy with his voice alone. But the stage is the only place Sed feels any passion since he lost Jessica...   
If you’re not willing to break all the rules...
 Then a chance meeting and tortuously close quarters lead to uncontrollable flares of passion and rediscovery of their unique penchant for public encounters. Now, in addition to the risk of mutual heartbreak every time they get together, they’re in danger of truly scandalous public exposure... (SOURCE) 

I have a love hate with series'. I love them because if book one is something I've fallen in love with, I don't want to let the characters go. Hate them because I read so many book series' that I can't keep up!! Not necessarily a bad problem to have,  I don't think.

Rock Hard is book two of the Sinners of Tour series. I really enjoyed book one, Backstage Pass, so I was looking forward to see what the Sinners guys were up to. Sinners is a band of delicious rock Gods; Sed Lionheart is their badass lead singer with womanizing ways. Once upon a time Sed had his heart broken and has been surly since.

Jessica is a law student, and she just so happens to be the former girlfriend of rocker Sed. When she revealed her dream to go to law school Sed put his foot down (ikr?). It came down to her choosing between her love for him and her dream career.

But neither Sed or Jessica are happy. He is successful and she is attending college but neither has given their heart to another in the two years since they split. 

I love love love stories like this. When Jessica and Sed see one another again the sparks are off the charts. There is no denying they still feel a physical attraction.

Then disaster strikes and a scandal breaks. Once Jessica thinks her her potential law career is dead in the water she goes on tour as an assistant to Brian, the guitarists wife, Myrna.  But when Jessica tries to manipulate Sed, and he does the same to her, things get sticky. I really wanted to just shake the both of them. To make them see that they were making a mistake by using their past against each other.

They try to convince themselves and everyone else that it's just a physical thing when it's anything but. Their friends work to try to convince both Sed and Jessica that they were never really over. That their relationship is not just a game. When Sed's health fails they both see how hurtful they were and Jessica becomes determined to get her life back. With Sed in it.

This book is full of hot sex, funny and yummy guys and it was a nice read when I wanted to dive into a different world.

These are only my personal observations and thoughts regarding this book. Any and all books blogged about here are paid for with my personal money unless otherwise specified within the review. If you have questions please feel free to contact me.

Synopsis: Five stunning guys, one hot woman, and a feverish romance...
"For him, life is all music and no play..."
When Brian Sinclair, lead songwriter and guitarist of the hottest metal band on the scene, loses his creative spark, it will take nights of downright sinful passion to release his pent-up genius...

"She's the one to call the tune..." When sexy psychologist Myrna Evans goes on tour with the Sinners, every boy in the band tries to seduce her. But Brian is the only one she wants to get her hands on...

Then the two lovers' wildly shocking behavior sparks the whole band to new heights of glory...and sin...(SOURCE)

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Backstage Pass was Hot (yes, capital "H"). Like, "I need a shower or a boyfriend rtfn" hot. Or "Dear Lord, why have I not become  a sexy professor so I could meet sexy band members" hot. And yes indeed, one Myrna Evans is a psychologist and college professor (knew I should have gone to college!). While attending a conference she spots the rock band Sinners in the hotel lounge. Professor Evans is not the least bit shy and she approaches them. The guys of Sinners immediately fawn over her. Myrna is not the type of professor we usually envision. She is beautiful and confident. Sexy.

No matter how much the band members try to seduce her, Myrna only really has eyes for Brian Sinclair, who has recently had his heart broken. But she's determined to fix him right up.

After hours of steamy time together Brian doesn't want to just let Myrna walk away. Can't say I blame him for that! They have electricity that is off the charts. Brian even manages to write music because their romps are so inspiring. Who doesn't want a guy to say having sex with her inspired songs for a wildly popular rock band?

When Myrna gets the idea to study the actions of the bands groupies she goes on the road with them. She's not looking for a lasting relationship though. I have no idea how she thought she could manage to keep Brian at arms length though. He is sweet, caring, sexy and a great guy. Not the 'typical' rock god, that's for sure. He will totally make you love and root for him. This is definitely a case of me desperately wanting the guy to get the girl. He's had his heart broken too many times not to. Brian, is a romantic. A romantic that plays guitar, wears guyliner on stage and is a great (and sweet) lover.

I enjoyed Backstage Pass enough to want to read more about these Sinners guys (love the band name, btw!). There were some scenes I felt were just gratuitous sex and not necessary to the story. But seriously, delicious read!
