ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 28, 2020

Sleeping with your bandmate is wrong, right? But what if it feels really good…

I’m a keyboardist on probation with the mega huge band Brooklyn Dawn.

No fights. No drama.

No problem.

Until Cooper, our drummer, steps in when my dangerous ex approaches me for the first time in years.

Cooper defending me—protecting me like no one ever has—rattles me. Turns me on. Makes me long for something I’d vowed would never be mine.

I didn’t mean to sleep with him.

Exactly.

Now we’re lying to everyone, hiding what’s happening. Hoping my ex will just disappear again, although Cooper thinks that’s the coward’s way out.

Except I’ve been hiding my past from the band, upholding my promise of no drama. Whether or not it’s my fault.

But Cooper wants to keep me safe. Wants me to be his, in every possible way.

No matter the consequences.

••••••••••

REVIEW: PLAY MINE is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult BROOKLYN DAWN erotic, rock, romance series co-authored by Cari Quinn and Tary Elliott. Focusing on the members of the rock band Brooklyn Dawn, this is twenty-eight year old, ex-Ranger and drummer Cooper Dallas, and keyboardist Teagan Daly’s story line. PLAY MINE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross over from the authors’ Oblivion World series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cooper and Teagan) PLAY MINE follows the friends (bandmates) to lovers relationship between twenty-eight year old, ex-Ranger and drummer Cooper Dallas, and keyboardist Teagan Daly, and the threats against the musicians who work for Ripper Records. With the latest threats focusing on Teagan Daly, Cooper Dallas, a former US Army Ranger and Teagan’s band mate declares himself the personal guardian of our story line heroine after a suspicious fire forced Teagan to move in with the band’s drummer. As the team at Ripper Records places a security guard with each of the band’s members, an investigation into the who, how and why reveals no suspects or motives until Brooklyn Dawn’s guitarist Zane is drugged resulting in a paparazzi nightmare. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Teagan and Cooper, and the potential fall-out as the band goes on the road in the aftermath of attacks against our story line heroine.

The relationship between Cooper and Teagan is a best friends to lovers, Brooklyn Dawn bandmates wherein their forced time together pushes the couple closer together. Cooper Dallas has lusted after his best friend for as long as he can remember but Teagan has been oblivious to the sparks between our leading couple. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, spontaneous and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including all of the members of Brooklyn Dawn: Lead singer Lindsey York (Alex Nash), lead guitarist Jamie DuCaine, rhythm guitarist Zane Landry, bass guitarist Oz Taylor, and stylist Daisy Flannigan; Roth Defense specialist Noah Jordan, and Cole Riggs, Ripper Records executives CEO Donovan Lewis, and Lila Ronson Shawcross Crandall and her husband Nick (Oblivion), and several members of from the other bands at Ripper Records including Ricki (Warning Sign), Michael Shawcross (Warning Sign), and Deacon McCoy (Oblivion).

PLAY MINE is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love. A story of betrayal and vengeance, threats and protection. The fast paced premise is powerful and emotional; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are dynamic and charismatic. PLAY MINE ends on a happily ever after-for now as the conflict has yet to be resolved.

PLAY FAST (Brooklyn Dawn #2) by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 17, 2020

Five reasons I should never go near Oz Taylor:

• He’s a hot as sin world famous rockstar with a big…ax.
• He’s a huge, tattooed older guy with a piercing dark gaze that can destroy a woman’s virginity.
• He’s my forever best friend’s older brother.
• He hasn’t spoken to me in more than five years.
• Oh, and I’m pretty sure he hates me...

••••••••••

REVIEW: PLAY FAST is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult BROOKLYN DAWN erotic, rock, romance series co-authored by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. This is Brooklyn Dawn’s bassist Oz Taylor, and hair stylist/make up artist Daisy Flannigan. BROOKLYN DAWN is a spin off from the authors’ numerous rock series including Lost in Oblivion, Found in Oblivion, and Hammered.

Told from three first person perspectives (Oz, Daisy and Lindsey) PLAY FAST follows the enemies to lovers relationship between twenty-three year old hair stylist/make up artist for Brooklyn Dawn, Daisy Flannigan, and bassist Oz Taylor. Five years earlier Daisy’ best friend, and Oz’s sister Kerry Taylor died, and in the ensuing years Oz’s anger towards Daisy has broiled and brewed. Now that Daisy is the make-up artist and hair stylist for Brooklyn Dawn, Oz struggles between his hatred for, and attraction to a woman he blames for everything that went wrong. But two day together at Oz’s home away from home from Oz acting on his attraction but continuing to struggle with what was, and what will never be.

Meanwhile, someone is determined to destroy Ripper Records, the label for which Brooklyn Dawn, Lost in Oblivion, Found in Oblivion, and Hammered work. Accidents, graffiti, and personal attacks aimed at hurting the musicians who work for Donovan Lewis, finds Ripper Records hiring extra security, after having lost one of their own.

The relationship between Oz and Daisy is a little sister’s best friend turned enemies to lovers wherein Oz will discover that Daisy is more than he could have imagined. Two days together finds Oz lowering his defenses but an attack against our heroine pushes Oz over the edge, and in doing so, threatens their tentative hold on an already fractured relationship. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate with some bondage, and discipline scenarios.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members from the other bands and the aforementioned previous series including Ripper Records executives CEO Donovan Lewis and Lila Ronson Shawcross Crandall, and her husband Mal Crandall. We are re- introduced to the members of Brooklyn Dawn: drummer Cooper Dallas, lead guitarist Jamie DuCaine, keyboardist Teagan Daly and rhythm guitarist Zane Landry; as well as Roth Defense specialist Noah Jordan.

PLAY FAST is a story of family, friendships, grief and loss; of blame and acceptance; of love and understanding. Oz Taylor struggles with the guilt and grief of his sister’s death, and places the blame on the woman with whom he will fall in love. The character driven premise is engaging and sensitive; the characters are broken and intense; the romance is spicy and edgy.

CEO DADDY by Taryn Quinn-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play

About the book: Release Date September 30 , 2019

I’m having a millionaire’s baby…

New Year’s Eve, a night of new beginnings.

Asher and I talked and sipped champagne. Eventually, we went up to my room at the bed and breakfast and…

Let’s just say when I left that room, I was no longer a virgin.

And that was it.

No last names, no numbers, no pressure. Something we both desperately needed.

Just a night of fun, with so much pleasure.

Until I was approached for a nanny position that I wasn’t sure I was equipped for.

And the man behind the curtain raising his best friend’s little girl was…

Asher.

A single dad unprepared for his unexpected responsibility.

A wealthy, powerful, conflicted CEO of a newspaper empire on the verge of extinction.

And the father of the baby I just realized I was carrying…

•••••••••••

REVIEW: CEO DADDY is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance series co-authored by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott aka Taryn Quinn. This is billionaire publisher and CEO Asher Wainwright, and nanny/independent business woman Hannah Jacobs’ story line. CEO DADDY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hannah and Asher) CEO DADDY follows in the aftermath of a one-night stand between billionaire publisher and CEO Asher Wainwright, and nanny/independent business woman Hannah Jacobs. Hannah Jacobs was a virgin, and with no thoughts about anything more than New Year’s Eve spent with a stranger, Hannah walked away without looking back. Two months would pass wherein Hannah would meet Grandma Bess, and in the ensuing melee find herself interviewing as a nanny for Bess’ great granddaughter Lily. Enter Asher Wainwright, Bess’ grandson, Lily’s father, and the man with whom Hannah had spent her glorious New Year’s Eve. What ensues is Hannah’s discovery that she is pregnant with Asher’s child; the building relationship and romance between Hannah and Asher; and the potential fall-out as Asher struggles between head and heart as it pertains to the woman who is now responsible for both of his children.

Hannah Jacobs is an independent business woman who has raised her twin sisters since the death of their parents. Never expecting to raise a family of her own, Hannah finds herself pregnant, facing a future, that may or may not include the man with whom she will fall in love. Asher Wainwright is battling to keep Wainwright Publishing in the black, having inherited the struggling business upon the death of his grandfather but a business that is close to Asher’s heart. Needing a full-time nanny for his daughter Lily, Asher finds himself face to face with a woman who continues to haunt his days and nights, a woman he never thought he would see again.

The relationship between Hannah and Asher is a surprise baby/employee-employer romance between two people who only wanted company on New Year’s Eve. A snow storm would force our couple together but a lack of commitment would force our couple apart. The $ex scenes are intimate, seductive and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Asher’s future business partner Vincent; his grandmother Bess; fire fighter and single father Austin Lancaster; as well as Hannah’s best friend Gabriela Ramos. Here’s hoping the authors have plans for Austin and Gabriela.

CEO DADDY is a fast paced, spicy and emotional story line; an engaging and realistic romance between two people looking for something more than a one-night stand. The character driven premise is imaginative; the romance is captivating; the characters are sassy, edgy and energetic. CEO DADDY is a heartwarming and encouraging story.

CHRISTMAS WITH A ROCK STAR Anthology –PARADISE IN OBLIVION by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 2, 2018

CHRISTMAS WITH A ROCK STAR is a collection of Christmas themed short stories from New York Times and USA Today bestselling rock star romance authors. Hot rock stars for Christmas. The perfect gift to crank up the heat on a cold, winter night. All new content

•••••••••••••

NOTE: My review covers PARADISE IN OBLIVION by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott

REVIEW: PARADISE IN OBLIVION by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott found in the multi-authored CHRISTMAS WITH A ROCK STAR anthology is a contemporary adult, erotic, romance short story set in the authors’ Lost in Oblivion series. PARADISE IN OBLIVION can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the Rock Revenge Trilogy as some of the events in the current time-line are a direct result from some of the events in the aforementioned trilogy. PARADISE IN OBLIVION advances both series several months.

WARNING: If you have not read either of the previous two series there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ian and Zoe-Rock Revenge Trilogy), and several third person perspectives (Simon, Margo and Nick-Lost in Oblivion) PARADISE IN OBLIVION follows three couples, Simon and Margo, Nick and Lila, Ian and Zoe as they embark on a Christmas holiday on a remote Island where Simon and Margo own vacation property. Margo, heavily pregnant with Simon’s baby worries about her impending due date, and the potential problems with the worsening weather; Nick and Lila struggle with what may never be; and Ian and Zoe have a couple of surprise announcements that may or may not be what everyone wants to hear.

PARADISE IN OBLIVION is a quick, fun and sexy read that follows in the aftermath of the events of ROCK REDEMPTION and the Rock Revenge Trilogy wherein Simon will come face to face with the brother he never knew, and the ensuing disaster that almost cost him the woman he loved. A sweet story of reconciliation, family, friendship and love PARADISE IN OBLIVION is the perfect addition to Quinn and Elliott’s world of Oblivion.

ROCK REDEMPTION (Rock Revenge Trilogy #3) by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2018

I lost everything.

Stripped of all I’d found, now even my name is a scar.

A reminder of how far I’ve fallen and what was ripped away.

By my own devices, if not my own hand.

My music is all I have left, and the memories of the only woman I ever truly loved.

Zoe, who owns my heart.

I’ll do anything to earn her forgiveness. Even lay myself bare.

And I want my brother back.

Finally, I have a family, if they’ll have me. A real life beyond the trappings of fame.

I’ll do whatever it takes. Even start all over again.

But not all the demons of the past have been laid to rest. Now my final reckoning is at hand.

And those I love most may get caught in the crossfire.

Author’s Note: Find redemption with Ian Kagan, our new rockstar anti-hero in the conclusion of our super hot, romantic suspense trilogy, Rock Revenge. The trilogy occurs in the Oblivion world though it can be read on its own. Rock Redemption is a full-length novel with a HEA.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: ROCK REDEMPTION is the third and final instalment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult, erotic romance ROCK REVENGE Trilogy focusing on up and coming rock star Ian Kagan, and artist / photographer Zoe Manning. ROCK REDEMPTION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two Rock Reclaimed. ROCK REDEMPTION and the Rock Revenge Trilogy are a spin-off from the authors’ LOST IN OBLIVION series, and as such several characters cross-over for cohesion and back story.

NOTE: If you have not read the previous instalments, there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Zoe and Ian) and third person perspective (Margo) ROCK REDEMPTION follows in the wake of potential disaster as Margo Kagan, Simon’s wife goes missing, and the events that follow pit brother against brother as Ian must reveal the truth about his past, and the on-going battle between head and heart. As life begins to spiral out of control, Ian finds himself walking away from everything in order to protect the woman he loves, and the family he has never known. As Zoe, Simon and Margo struggle with the truth, Ian must make amends but not before forgiving himself.

Ian Kagan has always been the ‘spare to the heir’; never good enough, and definitely not his rock star brother Simon. Having learned at an early age that he would never amount to the stardom of the brother he never knew, Simon quickly fell onto hard time, and the resulting aftermath has found our hero struggling with what happened and why.

Zoe Manning is Lila Shawcross’ cousin. Lila is an executive at Ripper Records, and in this Lila struggles with Zoe’s attraction to a man who could very well destroy Simon and the band. As Zoe embarks on a journey of reflection, she must come to a decision about her future with or without the man that she loves.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters: Simon and Margo; Nick and Lila: Donovan Lewis, several members of the band Oblivion (Deacon, Gray and Jazz), and the Ian Kagan Band (Grant, Lark and Perry); music producer Rory Ferguson, country rock-star Flynn Sheppard, Ian’s manager Sabrina, and as well as the introduction of Zoe’s brothers (Beck, Justin and Hayes), parents Sarah and Christopher Manning, and Lila’s mother and Zoe’s aunt Laverne. The requisite evil has many faces. I am hoping for a story between Sabrina and Flynn.

ROCK REDEMPTION is a story of family and friendship, struggle and acceptance, lies and betrayal, falling in love and letting go of the past. The premise is startling, wondrous, emotional and revealing; the romance struggles in the face of secrets and lies; the characters are broken, colorful, sassy and wounded. ROCK REDEMPTION is an amazing conclusion to the Rock Revenge Trilogy.

PIT STOP: BABY (Dirty DILFs #4) by Taryn Quinn (Cari Quinn / Taryn Elliott)-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 1, 2018

We had the hottest hookup ever. And now, she’s having my baby.

I’m a carefree single guy.

A successful race car driver who enjoys hitting the track—hard.

I don’t do commitments.

Hell, I rarely even do repeats.

Until I spent the night with a gorgeous, funny woman who rocked my world.

No names. No identifying details. Just lots and lots of pleasure.

Until we meet up again at my older brother’s wedding. And guess what, she’s my brand new sister-in-law, Rylee Ford.

And apparently, now she hates me.

Oh, and she’s also pregnant. Surprise, I’m the daddy.

I’m so screwed.

••••••••••

REVIEW: PIT STOP: BABY is the fourth instalment in Taryn Quinn’s (Cari Quinn / Taryn Elliott) contemporary, adult DIRTY DILFS erotic, romance series. This is retired NASCAR driver Gage Kramer, and Rylee Ford’s story line. PIT STOP: BABY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Gage and Rylee were first introduced in book three WHO’S THE DADDY.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Gage and Rylee) PIT STOP: BABY follows the building relationship between twenty six year old Rylee Ford, and retired NASCAR driver Gage Kramer. Three months earlier Gage and Rylee had a one night stand before discovering that each others siblings were to be married the next day. Fast forward to present day wherein Gage returns to his home town in search of his future only to discover his one –night stand from months before. Enter Rylee Ford, struggling to find a place in the world, and the woman with whom Gage would fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Rylee and Gage, and the announcement of another Ford-Kramer baby, on the way.

After making a scene at their sibling’s wedding three months earlier, Rylee and Gage were on the outs with their respective kin. Issues of trust and a lack of communication, hurt feelings and jealousy are plenty to over come but adding a pregnancy into the emotion-fueled sibling rivalry makes for many uncomfortable moments for everyone concerned.

The relationship between Rylee and Gage is a ‘second chance’ of a sorts; a one-night stand that turns into something more including the announcement of an unplanned pregnancy. Gage is determined to win Rylee’s heart but our heroine struggles with more personal issues that Rylee fears will push Gage out of her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful secondary and supporting character include Rylee’s sister Kelsey, and Gage’s brother Dare (Who’s The Daddy #3), real estate entrepreneur Oliver Hamilton and his wife Sage (Claim My Baby #2), as well as café owner Macy Devereaux, baker Vee, café customer Murphy ‘Moose’ Masterson; Gage’s friend Tish Burns, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Kramer. Moose and Vee’s story line is next in BABY DADDY WANTED.

The world building continues to focus on the ‘unplanned’ and ‘unexpected’ pregnancies in the tight knit group of family and friends. The conflict is limited to Rylee’s embarrassment of what was, and her ongoing personal issues at home.

PIT STOP: BABY is a story of family and friendship; second chances and falling in love. The premise is heartwarming ; the characters are sassy but tender; the romance is captivating and hot. PIT STOP: BABY is a fun, energetic and enjoyable instalment in the authors’ Dirty DILF’s romance series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 8, 2018

I’m the black sheep son.

The one no one ever knew about.

The one your mum wouldn’t want you to bring home.

I have the Kagan face and the Kagan voice and let’s be real—the legendary Kagan d!ck.

And now I was a rockstar too, on my way up. Soaring so high no one could rip me back down to earth.

Finally, I had it all…and then there was Zoe. Sweet, trusting Zoe, who was so much stronger than she looked.

The only woman who could bring me to my knees.

I would do anything to protect her. To keep her mine. And to protect my new family, the one I was sure I never wanted.

They didn’t understand how far I’d go to get the pot of gold. And then it was too late. There was no turning back.

No keeping them safe.

I’d made promises to the devil, and the devil always got his due.

One way or another.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Fall in love with Ian Kagan, our new rockstar anti-hero in the continuation of our super hot, romantic suspense trilogy, Rock Revenge. The trilogy occurs in the Oblivion world though it can be read on its own.

••••••••••

REVIEW: ROCK RECLAIMED is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult ROCK REVENGE erotic, romance trilogy co-authored by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. ROCK RECLAIMED focuses on the building relationship between artist and photographer Zoe Manning, and wanna be rockstar and Simon Kagan’s half-brother Ian Kagan. ROCK RECLAIMED and the Rock Revenge Trilogy are a spin-off from the authors’ Lost in Oblivion series, and as such several characters cross-over for cohesion.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ian and Zoe), as well as several third person points of view including Simon and Margo ROCK RECLAIMED focuses on Ian Kagan, Simon Kagan’s unknown half-brother as he begins his ascent towards fame and stardom. Meeting photographer and artist Zoe Manning gave Ian that special someone in his life, someone with whom Ian was falling in love. But Ian Kagan kept secret the true reason for searching out the brother he never met, reasons that will quickly create a dangerous situation for everyone concerned. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Ian and Zoe, and the potential fall-out as Ian’s past is hoping to cash in on the family fame and fortune.

Zoe Manning is Lila Shawcross’ cousin, and in this Lila is a little over-protective of her younger cousin. Zoe’s own star is about to rise, as her artistic and photographic abilities are demanded of our story line hero. But Zoe struggles to understand Ian’s attentions believing Ian has his pick of any woman but wants Zoe with every breath he takes. Ian Kagan has always come in second, the forgotten Kagan brother but a brother who is determined to make his way in the world of rock. Unable to shake off the past that is demanding everything and more, Ian is forced to reveal the truth before it is too late.

Meanwhile Simon and Margo have a secret of their own, one that they no longer are able to hide. When Lila makes Simon an offer he cannot refuse Simon is taken aback by the younger brother he once knew nothing about.

ROCK RECLAIMED is a story of family and friendship; betrayal and revenge; romance and love. As Ian tries desperately to prove he is worthy of Zoe’s love, Zoe finds herself falling for a man with too many secrets from a past he can no longer hide. The premise is revealing and heart breaking; the characters are colorful and dynamic; the romance is emotional and passionate. ROCK RECLAIMED is a wonderful, amazing and fantastic addition to Quinn and Elliott’s rock star worlds.

FINDING FOREVER (Found in Oblivion #7) by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 14, 2018

You’re invited to the comeback arena tour of the century…and just maybe a wedding too.

Who: Malachi Shawcross and Richelle Crandall (you can call her Ricki or Elle, she answers to both)

When: After they make it through the three biggest shows of their career.

Where: Happy Acres Orchard, Turnbull, NY – or possibly a judge’s chamber in the next city they roll into, if they can’t pull this off.

Who’s attending: Well, everyone – at least everyone in the Warning Sign and Oblivion families, along with some familiar and unfamiliar faces from Brooklyn Dawn, the headliner on Warning Sign’s big mega tour.

Who’s also attending: Jules’s, Randy and Tristan’s brand new baby, who is getting christened with his or her entire rocker family in attendance. And there may be some more exciting surprises in store for Jules and Tristan as well.

A whole lot of healing, hijinks, and happiness is ahead…and oh yeah, plenty of steamy moments and screaming rock and roll too.

••••••••••

REVIEW:   FINDING FOREVER is the seventh full-length instalment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary adult FOUND IN OBLIVION rock star, romance series focusing on the rock band Warning Sign. FINDING FOREVER follows two couples we have met previously (Mal Shawcross and Ricki aka Elle Crandall in Raw Rhythm / Jules Reece and Tristan Eves in Triple Trouble) as they struggle to move past the ‘accident’ that is slowly pulling apart the band, and took the life of someone they loved. FINDING FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as there is a continuing premise that addresses the fragile relationships between the members of the band. The FOUND IN OBLIVION series is a spin off from Quinn and Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION series. Several characters from LIO cross over for cohesion and continuity, as well as a quick peak into the authors’ upcoming series spin-off MADE IN OBLIVION focusing on the rock band Brooklyn Dawn.

Told from four third-person perspectives including Ricki, Mal, Jules and Tristan, FINDING FOREVER focuses on grief, forgiveness, healing and love. The once tight-knit members of Warning Sign are about to face their greatest fears as they step onto the stage for the first time in six months following the accident that all but destroyed the band and their lives. While Jules and Tristan struggle to move forward, Mal is consumed with the knowledge that he had to make a choice and not everyone is happy with the choices he made. Hoping to find his own happily ever after Mal is desperate to prove he is worthy of Elle Crandall’s love.

Juliet Reece battles the all-consuming grief of death and loss but her inability to let go is destroying her relationship with Tristan Eves, the man who is willing to sacrifice everything to keep his small family together-forever.

The friendships and relationships between the members of the band are nearing the breaking point as Jules is unable to forgive and forget, and Mal’s mood swings continue to push everyone beyond their limits. The potential to co-headline an upcoming tour forces Jules and Tristan, as well as Mal and Ricki to take a deeper look into their partnerships, to ensure everyone gets their happily ever after.

There are numerous colorful secondary and supporting characters including all of the members of the rock band Warning Sign and their significant others-Michael, Chloe, West and Lo, Ethan, Luc and Molly; Hammered’s lead singer Hunter Jordan, and his brother, security specialist Noah; Brooklyn Dawn’s Lindsey York, Jamie DuCaine and record producer Alex Nash; and several members of the band Oblivion including Simon and Margo, Nick and Lila, as well as Ricki’s best friend Teagan Daly, who is about to join Brooklyn Dawn. Lindsey and Alex’s story is next in Play Dirty, the first instalment in the authors’ new Made in Oblivion series.

FINDING FOREVER is a story of family, friendships, strength and bond. The detailed and revealing premise is realistic and energetic; the characters are tenacious, sassy, spirited and flawed. FINDING FOREVER is an inviting, passionate and emotionally satisfying story –here’s hoping for continuing updates throughout the new series.
