REVIEW: MERRY OBLIVION is a two part  adult, contemporary, erotic novella in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION  rock romance series focusing on the members of the rock band Oblivion. MERRY OBLIVION reconnects with Nick and Lila, and Deacon and Harper.

The holidays bring the band together for a Christmas Eve concert but for two couples the relationship’s struggle with finding time between raising children, and the obligations of work. MERRY OBLIVION is an intoxicating, humorous and fun installment with lighthearted but sexy banter; palpable energy; and stimulating text and imagery.

The creative and artistic team of Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott write a passionate series of tender moments and wicked desires. The authors bring together the members of Warning Sign (Found in Oblivion) for some cross-over fun, and a look at the camaraderie during the holidays season.

MERRY OBLIVION is a heartwarming look at two couples we have grown to love and adore.

ABOUT THE BOOK: May 24, 2016

Music kept them going. Now it’s torn them apart…

Guitarist Nick Crandall lost the most important thing in his life—his band—just as he was falling in love. A year has passed, and Oblivion is returning from hiatus. And Nick is ready to ask Lila to spend forever with him, even if he won’t have his best friend at his side for the ceremony.

Simon has spent the past year trying to find his way back to the thing that sustained him in his darkest hours, then grew to be his biggest demon. Margo has been at his side, but she’s tired of him denying his dreams. With her help, he’s ready to admit it’s showtime.

Perhaps he’s even ready to stand up for his best friend…and face him on the stage that united them so long ago.

It’s do or die, one more time.

**The guys—and their women—are in the driver’s seat in Owned, and the ride’s gonna rock. This is the FINAL book in the Lost in Oblivion rockstar series.**

••••••••••••

REVIEW: OWNED is the fifth full length and final installment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOST IN OBLIVION erotic, rock romance series focusing on the member of the rock band Oblivion. OWNED can be read as a stand alone but for cohesion and plenty of back story, I recommend reading the series in order as many of the events of the current time line began in previous installments.

Told from four –third party points of view (Simon, Margo, Nick and Lila) OWNED follows the two couples and their relationships that suffer, due mostly in part, to Simon’s ongoing issues with losing his voice, and his year long recovery that have left the other members of the band floundering in their professional lives. Although no one is at fault for Simon’s ruined vocal chords, Nick blames his lead singer for the destruction of the band. What ensues are two separate but entangled story lines where two couples struggle to reunite the band along with a lifelong friendship that has been destroyed by hurtful words and physical discord.

OWNED is the culmination of twelve installments including five full length stories and 7 novellas that focused on the relationships, friendships, successes and failures of the rock band Oblivion. LOST IN OBLIVION is a series not only about rock musicians and the people they love, but a series about family-by blood and by association. The breakdown of a friendship all but destroys a once up and coming successful band- a friendship that has weathered many storms of personal and professional failure. The heartbreak and emotional fall out affects everyone involved but none more so than Nick Crandall who is unable to continue without his best friend-a friend he doesn’t know is suffering from something much more than the loss of his voice.

Quinn and Elliott pull the reader behind the scenes of not one, not two but three relationships and how their downward spiral has a physical and emotional affect on friendships, family and personal relationships that struggle to move forward. All of the previous story line characters and couples play secondary and supporting roles; we are witness to expanding families, promises for the future, and the formation of a new band and another spin off series-Found in Oblivion. There is already a previous spin off series-HAMMERED-featuring a number of cross overs between both series.

OWNED is an emotional and poignant story line about friendship, family and love. The premise is inspiring and heartwarming; the characters are spirited, provocative and intoxicating; the romances are seductive and erotic-there are numerous passionate and sensual $ex scenes throughout the story. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott have written an addicting series that I would recommend every time -who doesn’t love a bad boy rocker that can be tamed by the woman he loves.

Fused

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

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 2, 2016

They’re shattered…and he’s the only one who can fuse them back together.

From the pinnacle of success to the depths of despair, the band Oblivion has been through it all. Now in the super hot conclusion to the Lost in Oblivion series, Nick Crandall, the lead guitarist and the one most likely to cause a band breakup, is the only one who can begin to put the pieces back together after the most catastrophic night of his life.

His only choice is to fight hard for what—and who—he loves.

And oh so dirty.

•••••

REVIEW: FUSED is #4.5 and second to last installment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOST IN OBLIVION erotic, romance series focusing on the member of the rock band OBLIVION. FUSED picks up immediately following the events of SHATTERED, and crosses over into the Christmas novella GIFTED.

NOTE: If you have not read the previous SHATTERED, my review may contain some spoilers.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Nick and Lila) FUSED is the continuing story of Nick and Lila’s relationship, and the beginning of the end for the band OBLIVION. Lead singer Simon Kagan continues to have issues with his voice, and he targets his best friend Nick Crandall following Simon’s latest melt down on stage that saw Simon storm out and Nick taking the brunt of Simon’s emotional tirade. What ensues are Lila’s attempts to keep the band together while setting up the possibility of a new band on the horizon.

The relationship between Nick and Lila continues to be tempestuous. Nick is a man in love with a woman whose secrets and personal life keep falling off the rails. Lila is determined to prove that she is capable of keeping her public and private life separate but pushing Nick away is the hardest thing she will ever have to do.

All of the members of OBLIVION play secondary and supporting roles. While Simon continues to wallow is self doubt and the blame game, the remaining members of the band decide it may be time to think about a different kind of future-without the band.

FUSED is an emotional story line where lifelong friendships are threatened by jealousy, insecurity, and the mental and physical health of Oblivion’s leading singer. The premise is revealing and intense; the characters are passionate, tormented and heartbreaking; the romance is provocative and seductive. FUSED is a free fall of emotions for both the reader and the characters we love.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 3, 2015

He’s shattered…and she’s the only woman who can help him pick up the pieces.

Nick Crandall has everything he ever thought he wanted. Tons of money, a glamorous lifestyle, professional admiration for making music. But all his success doesn’t erase the memories of who and what he’s lost on the road to fame and fortune. Nor does it stop his dream from shattering, right before his eyes.

Until the person he least expects pulls him back from the brink.

Lila Shawcross is obsessed with her work, which includes managing the drama-prone members of Oblivion. She’s definitely not about to let a hot-headed, hard-bodied lead guitarist wreck her orderly existence or dilute her focus. So what if she’s never craved a man quite this much? There are just too many complications, including the gold band on her left hand.

Except Nick is determined to possess her…and what Nick wants, Nick gets. Because this time, he’s not walking away.

•••••••••

REVIEW: SHATTERED is the fourth full-length installment in the contemporary, adult LOST IN OBLIVION erotic romance series co-authored by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott focusing on the members of the rock band Oblivion. This is guitarist Nick Crandall, and band manager Lila Shawcross’s storyline. SHATTERED can be read as a stand alone but for cohesion and backstory, as well as Nick and Lila’s history, I recommend reading the series in order as all of the previous couples play a secondary and supporting role.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Nick and Lila) SHATTERED follows the forbidden relationship between Oblivion’s guitarist Nick Crandall, and their manager Lila Shawcross-Lila is married, and although she is for all intents and purposes separated from the man in question, there are reasons that her affair with Nick can never be made public. Lila’s ice-cold exterior hides a sensitive and damaged soul.

For months Lila and Nick have butted heads due in part to Nick’s attitude, and Lila’s ‘Dragon Lady’ managerial skills as it pertains to the band’s public relations and personal lives. But Nick’s reputation as a man-whore; a sexually aggressive rocker has played havoc with Lila’s thoughts and ideas about Nick. As their relationship begins to develop, Nick and Lila’s feelings and emotions for one another grow deeper but Lila’s broken marriage and Nick’s past keep rearing their ugly heads. Meanwhile, Nick’s family life continues to implode as he finds himself falling for the same old scams and heartbreaking betrayal brought about by his father and sister back home. We get up close with Nick as the demons from his past continue to control his present.

The relationship between Lila and Nick has been building for several story lines. Nick and Lila’s rapport with one another has been acrimonious and antagonistic. Lila blames Nick for a number of the band’s problems, and Nick sees Lila as a controlling shrew. The $ex scenes are erotic, sensual and provocative.

All of the previous story line couples play a secondary and supporting role as we get reacquainted with Deacon and Harper, Gray and Jazz, Simon and Margo.

SHATTERED is an erotic tale; the introduction to Nick and Lila’s forbidden romance that finds two people lost in a world of broken promises and broken hearts, misunderstandings, and betrayal. The premise is engaging, captivating and inspiring; the characters are colorful, dynamic and animated; the romance is provocative and intense. SHATTERED ends on a cliffhanger-there is more Lila and Nick to come.

Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic romance

ABOUT THE BOOK Release Date December 16, 2015

All he wants is Christmas with his band and his girl…and a strand of pearls.

Rock star Nick Crandall is determined to make this Christmas the best of his life. So what if his beloved band, Oblivion, may be on the rocks? So what if his girl, Lila Shawcross, the band’s manager, has been freezing him out for days without telling him why? And hey, who needs snow anyway? In Southern California, it’s always hot.

Especially when the band gets back together for their kind of misfit family Christmas, and Nick and Lila reunite for one steamy night…

•••••••••

REVIEW: GIFTED is a short Christmas story from Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott that focuses on Nick and Lila’s tumultuous relationship during the Christmas holidays. The timeline falls between SHATTERED November 2015) and FUSED (February 2016).

It is Christmas time. The members of Oblivion have gathered for a family celebration, and Nick has yet to buy gifts so he embarks on a Christmas Eve shopping spree with Jazz, in the hopes of finding the perfect gift for Lila Shawcross-the band’s manager- and the other members of the band. Told from dual close third person perspectives (Lila and Nick) GIFTED is a sweet story line that follows Nick and Lila several days after the events and cliff hanger ending of SHATTERED wherein Nick is unaware of the events that transpired to push Lila in another direction. Nick’s gift to Lila will play an intricate role in tying Lila to his heart-a string of pearls that is representative of their relationship.

All the members of the band Oblivion play secondary and supporting roles; there is a new introduction to the Oblivion family; and Lila leaves Nick to believe in a future with the woman that he loves. The $ex scenes are erotic and inventive.

GIFTED is a sweet story about the joy and magic of Christmas; a glimpse into the dynamics of the band; the family of your heart; and friendships that will last a lifetime

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 4, 2015

Is it better to burn out or fade away…

Oblivion lead singer Simon Kagan is used to being in the spotlight for his model good looks and his voice, not because of the epic ending to Oblivion’s last show on their home turf in California. That unforgettable night rocked Oblivion in more ways than one, and now the journey back seems almost impossible.

The only bright spot is Margo. Margo, the one woman he’d been sure would never be more than a hot ride in the dark. Margo, who would never be his.

Except she is…for now. But taking one dream and trading it for another isn’t supposed to hurt this much.

As long as Margo never realizes the man she fell for no longer exists, maybe he won’t lose everything that matters due to just one all-consuming night.

•••••••••••••••

REVIEW: CONSUMED is part 2 of Simon Kagan and Margo Reece’s storyline in Cari Quinn /Taryn Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION new adult, contemporary erotic, romance rock series focusing on the members of the rock band Oblivion. Their continuing story picks up immediately upon the events of DESTROYED (Lost in Oblivion 3) wherein Simon had just collapsed on stage during a concert, and therefore CONSUMED should not be read as a stand alone.

NOTE: If you have NOT read DESTROYED, there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Simon and Margo) CONSUMED focuses on Simon’s recovery following surgery to correct the continuing damage Simon has inflicted upon his vocal chords and throat. Margo arranges a trip to the islands in the hopes of some R&R but in doing so has sold her soul to the devil as payment for the favor. The storyline follows several weeks in the relationship (excluding epilogue) between Margo and Simon, and the potential fall out for a man whose singing career may have come to an end.

CONSUMED is the story about one man’s introspective into his life and his career: his future, the music, the band, the alcohol and sex. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott get up close and personal with Simon and the woman that he loves as they eek out a seemingly normal existence on the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands. But Simon becomes restless and finds himself in front of the camera but for an entirely different story.

The relationship between Simon and Margo is highly erotic, intense, provocative and seductive. The $ex scenes are numerous and graphic-our couple spend most of their time in bed, up against a wall, on the beach, on the floor…. well, you get the idea. There is nothing off limits between Margo and Simon, and I had to wonder if all there was between them was a fantastic $ex life and nothing else. Their sexual compatibility cannot be denied but there is something to say about their silent communication on an entirely different level.

All of the previous storyline characters and couples play a secondary and supporting role: Jazz and Gray, Deacon and Harper; producer Donovan; and Lila Shawcross-the band’s publicist-who continues to keep the band from imploding in front of the media and paparazzi. Nick Crandall’s volatile persona begins to push a few buttons and in this Nick’s story will be the focus of SHATTERED (book 4)-his attraction to Lila has not gone unnoticed by the band.

For those of you who have read the series, and are wondering about Snake and his current situation, very little is revealed. Snake is but an afterthought to the premise of CONSUMED. I am thinking Snake needs his own story (or novella); one that we know will not end with a happily ever after.

CONSUMED is a sexually charged, erotic romance storyline about two people from different backgrounds who fall in love despite the odds. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott have skillfully merged their writing styles resulting in a fantastic series about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Each member of the band will find his or her happily ever after, but the road to happiness and love is filled with heartbreak and pain. CONSUMED gives Margo and Simon their happily ever after-for now-but there is still more story to come!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 29, 2014

He’s always saved her. Now she’s going to return the favor…

Gray Duffy never thought he’d end up as the co-lead guitarist of Oblivion, one of the hottest rock bands in the country. Even better? He’s sharing the experience with his best friend, Jazz. Since the day she’d showed up as his family’s new foster kid, Gray has protected her. Loved her. And not just platonically either. After all these years of wanting her in his bed, he still doesn’t know what it would be like to have her mouth on his.

Except for that one time. The time he’d shared her with Nick. The best worst night of his life.

Now they’re living their dream. They’re making music together and spending every waking moment trapped in tight quarters. With success at their fingertips, the time is right for him to finally make his move toward the woman he needs.

He just never figured he would lose control. Or that she would find out.

They’ve loved each other through everything. But what if this time love just isn’t enough?

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: TWISTED is the second full length storyline in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s Lost in Oblivion series focusing on the members of the rock band Oblivion. This is drummer Jasmine (Jazz) Edwards and guitarist Gray Duffy’s storyline-a friends to lovers trope that looks at second chances and forgiveness. TWISTED can be read as a stand alone but for background information, the band’s beginnings and cohesion I would strongly suggest reading in order.

Told from third person point of view alternating between past and present TWISTED follows the introduction between fourteen year old foster child Jasmine Edwards and Grayson Duffy-the young man who would one day break her heart-to present day. Jasmine grew up in foster care and at fourteen found herself living with the Duffy’s. Long story short, Gray and Jazz were attracted to one another immediately with Gray playing the protector and big brother to Jazz’s fragile ego. But a caustic and dangerous moment in time found an eighteen year old Jazz on the run, leaving Gray heartbroken and lost. Two years would pass before Jazz reconnected with the Gray and Gray was a changed man. Now that both were members of the up and coming rock band Oblivion, Gray’s life will begin to spiral out of control following a night he will never forget between Nick, Jazz and himself.

TWISTED is a storyline that follows present day with the rock band Oblivion alternating with a story about the past. Jazz never had an easy life and thought she had found a loving family with the Duffy’s but like many families there is a dark and dangerous side, one that Jazz would experience first hand. Even with Gray’s love and protection, Jazz would find herself alone again, on the run, with no one to care. While the members of Oblivion find themselves in lock down to get over their attitude and destructive egos, Jazz and Gray will take the next step in their relationship. The realization that Gray is falling deeper into addiction and despair comes with a darker threat against the woman that he loves.

All of the members of Oblivion (Simon, Nick, Deacon and Harper) including new PR manager Lila play an active role throughout the premise of TWISTED. As manager, Lila is the one who will have to take control when the band begins to implode and slowly destroy what is left of their image. Social media, addiction, inflated egos and revenge will take center stage for a band on the cusp of making it big.

Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott pull from the reality that is the rock and roll lifestyle. There is betrayal, jealousy, excess and love. Everyone will be affected by the fall out of one night of passion between three friends, resulting in a tense relationship between the members of the band. LOST IN OBLIVION is an intense, dramatic and addicting series with moments of passion, heartbreak and erotic imagery.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 1 , 2014

Loving in fast forward…

Love on the fast track has been the definition of Harper and Deacon McCoy’s relationship. In between studio sessions with Deacon’s band, Oblivion, and building a new clientele for Harper’s catering business, the newlyweds haven’t had time to sleep let alone have a honeymoon.

Deacon convinces Harper that they need a week alone together before her business as well as a new album and tour swallows them whole. Since Texas has always held special meaning for them, they head to Galveston to recharge and remember what it’s like to just be a couple.

A beachfront cottage, hours of alone time, and plenty of skin on skin action is just what the rock star ordered. Until the future once again comes much quicker than they expected, threatening to crumble not only their perfect honeymoon but also their brand new marriage.

REVIEW: ROCK, RATTLE AND ROLL is the latest novella in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult, Lost in Oblivion erotic romance series focusing on the band members of the rock band Oblivion. This is the continuing story of Harper Pruitt and bass guitarist Deacon McCoy.

The premise follows Harper and Deacon as they set out on their delayed honeymoon. Harper’s catering business leaves little time for her new husband and Deacon is a man who knows life on the road is about to get much busier.

The continuing relationship between Harper and Deacon is one of sensuality, steamy sex and arousal. There is no stopping Harper while on her honeymoon-her libido is in overdrive and there can only be one explanation-one that she isn’t too happy to find out.

ROCK, RATTLE AND ROLL is a realistic look at two people unprepared for everything life has to offer. Quinn and Elliott pull the reader into a seductive, provocative and emotional storyline. There are moments of intense pleasure and intense anxiety, but through it all Deacon McCoy is a man who loves Harper Pruitt above everything else.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 9, 2014

Love definitely wasn’t on the setlist.

Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she’s offering on her serving plate.

As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He’s far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.

Apron – and panties – optional.

When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can’t walk away. Deacon’s so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase…even if she’s starting to think what she’s building with him might be the biggest one of all.

••••••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: ROCKED is the second storyline in Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn’s contemporary, new adult, erotic Lost in Oblivion rock star series focusing on the members of the rock band Oblivion. This is bass guitarist Deacon McCoy and chef Harper Pruitt’s storyline. We were first introduced to Deacon in the introductory storyline Seduced (Lost in Oblivion .5). Deacon is the peace maker, the body builder and the most stable member of Oblivion.

The focus of the storyline is the building relationship between Deacon and Harper. Harper grew up the child of two roadies and knows the ins and outs of the business. Getting involved with Deacon McCoy is the last thing on her mind because she knows she will be one of many stops along the tour. But Harper has been hired as a chef for the five weeks of Oblivion’s tour and saying no gets harder every time Deacon is near.

The relationship between Deacon and Harper is hot, sensual and a little bit risqué. Finding time alone is difficult when both Deacon and Harper are bunking on separate buses and there is always a crowd around to listen and watch. Harper knows that their time together is limited but Deacon wants more from Harper than she is willing to give. Her career as a chef has just begun and another job offer will force Harper to make a decision that will affect their future and their relationship.

The world building continues from SEDUCED where the members of the band were first introduced in a gritty storyline of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Oblivion is about to sign a one record deal but the contract is anything but fair. We watch as the group begins to fall apart from betrayal, lies and the return of a former band mate. Add a woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and the members of the group will begin to take sides against one another.

ROCKED is a revealing story about the life and love of a rock star. The reader is pulled into a no nonsense story about life on the road, behind the scenes and in the public eye for an up and coming band. Told from close third person point of view, the first half of the storyline was slow to build as Harper and Deacon played around one another but as the relationship turned more personal and sexual, there was no turning back for the characters or the reader.
