ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 11, 2018.

He’s a rock star with a secret; she’s a pop princess with a painful past, can their forbidden romance survive, or will their lies destroy them both?

I’ve earned my bad reputation.

A few years ago, I was New York City’s hottest classical music prodigy. But I wanted something else, something more. So I chased my real dream, and now… I’m rock royalty. Dax Hughes, lead guitarist of Nothing but Trouble. But to my family and former Juilliard classmates, I’m an outcast. A misfit. A rebel.

They’re not entirely wrong. I don’t give a damn what other people think, and I’m all for breaking the rules… except when it comes to our new opening act, Verity Moore.

Rock gods don’t tour with pop princesses.

It’s not personal. Actually, under that fallen diva reputation, Verity’s incredibly talented. And her fiery redheaded personality is… intriguing. But I’m convinced the skeletons in Verity’s closet are as scandalous as my own, and when we’re not sparring, she has a way of drawing out all those secrets I’m determined to keep hidden.

Yeah. Verity Moore is definitely off-limits . . .
But since when do I give a damn about the rules?

REVIEW: Rock Rebel is book three in the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh.
The story continues for rock band Nothing But Trouble’s guitarist Dax Hughes.

Dax’s backstory is that he left his family and classical music career behind to follow the woman he loved to California. But once in LA the woman he followed did not want the same things he did. Thats when he joined Nothing But Trouble. With his heart broken he threw everything he had into his band.

Verity Moore was a former child star, pop princess who had her own tv show and her mom as her manager. Verity has been through hell in her career and life. But she now wants to reignite her career and she is hoping that Nothing But Trouble’s manager, Travis Taggert may be the one to do that and restore her reputation.

But when Dax and Verity cross paths in an elevator the sparks fly! But both of them have their share of secrets. While this is Dax’s book, I truly believe he was uostaged by Verity.

This book explores a lot of todays hot topic, current cultures of the #MeToo movement. Verity has never been perfect but she has been wronged on so many levels. But Dax stands with her and supports her! But is it enough!

And can Dax get over his broken heart enough to let someone else in?

What a wonderful rock romance, that can be read alone or in order with the series. But I recommend the latter!

This one, in my opinion had the deepest connection between the main characters in the Nothing But Trouble series!

Highly recommend even if rock romance isn’t your usual style.

Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, rock, romance

I’m no Prince Charming.

Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I’m also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, “The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet.” Apparently, I’m a legend.

Am I surprised? Hell, no. It’s a reputation I’ve earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune… and spent every damn day since pretending I don’t regret it.

Now fate’s dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it’s a second chance for me – for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can’t give Piper a future.

Because there’s a difference between a legend and a fairy tale…
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

REVIEW:

The story continues with Rock Legend, the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series.

This story focuses on publicist Piper and her history with drummer Landon Cox.

They had a brief romance while in college, but Landon disappeared and Piper Hastings never heard from him again.

Landon Cox is a famous drummer for the band Nothing But Trouble. He is living the rockstar lifestyle of the rich and famous. He has had a rough life as a past foster child. In fact that builds the bridge on how he treats relationships in his present life. But he begins to wonder if there is more to life than the rich and famous lifestyle. That is until he sees Piper Hastings, the woman he walked away from in college to pursue the rocker life.

Piper works in PR and her firm handles the band Nothing But Trouble. But Piper never forgot her one true love. Her college sweetheart that walked away without so much as a goodbye. For the past six years she has wondered if it something that she has done. Up until now, Piper has managed to steer clear of Landon until fate and Delaney forced them together.

This is a second chance rock star romance. I am not going to lie, I wasn’t keen on either of these characters in the first book. Landon proves to be the mess that he is. And he has allowed his life issues to affect his present. But deep down, he wants a family to love and one that will love him.

When he sees Piper again he realizes that he can not throw away the chance to have what is missing in his life. And what ensues is a second chance romance worth writing about.

Both of the main characters must come to grips with their pasts and the choices that have led them to where they are. Both of them must come to terms with accepting themselves as they are in their moment.

Wonderful rock star story that leads you on a thrilling journey!

Watching Landon Cox on stage from forty feet away had been bad enough. But here, now, close enough to touch, I was jolted by the power of his presence.
Still shirtless and sweating after an intense performance, my eyes danced over the rippling muscles rising from beneath the inked skin of Landon’s naked torso, his broad shoulders tapering to slim hips, perfect V cuts forming an arrow pointing south.
Vitality seeping from every pore.
My gaze was drawn inexorably upward. Blond hair a damp mess, the faintest trace of stubble darkening a jawline that could have been cut from marble. A face so symmetrical, so severely beautiful, it would take even the most talented sculptor a lifetime to get right.
Landon Cox was a fantasy in the flesh.
I’d imagined this very moment dozens—no, hundreds—of times. But now that the moment was here, Landon and I, alone in a room again after all these years, I had nothing.
In a blink, Landon’s expression wavered. His winged brows, three shades darker than the hair sweeping across his forehead, pulled together. Eyes like hot coals burning into me.
As if the sight of me caused him pain.
I tore my gaze away from his face, but it only landed on the swaths of ink covering his chest and extending over his arms. My mouth watered at the sight. I wanted to trace every tattoo with my tongue, every slash and swirl and stripe. After six years, how would Landon taste?
Like regret, I realized with a sickening thud. Because regret was all that remained of what we’d once shared.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 20,2018

I’m not who you think I am.

Shane Hawthorne has it all. At least, that’s what the headlines say about me. I have millions of fans, awards, more money – and women – than I know what to do with. But what you don’t see is the wreckage I’ve caused. The memories and pain I can’t escape, even when I pour them into music and spin them into gold.

I tried to forget. To lose myself in booze and groupies. It didn’t work. It hurt me and – worse – it hurt my band. That’s the last thing I want to do, so I’m cleaning up my act… starting with Delaney Fraser.

Gorgeous, smart, drama-free, and even nice – Delaney is the perfect “girlfriend.” When I’m with her I don’t have to pretend. It’s like she sees the real me. And I can see a future with her. But that’s dangerous. Because the truth is, Shane Hawthorne doesn’t actually exist. He’s a shield to hide who I really am. Fraud. Runaway. Addict. Murderer.

And it’s impossible to love a lie, right?

REVIEW: Rock King by Tara Leigh is book one in the Nothing But Trouble series.

Shane Hawthorne is the drop dead gorgeous lead singer of the world famous Nothing But Trouble rock band. He is complete legendary rock star status. But what the world doesn’t know is behind the public facade he struggles to keep it all together. Previous drug, alcohol and sex addiction is the least of his past worries. He has a secret that he has struggled years to hide. And no one – absolutely no one can find out about it.

Delaney Fraser is beautiful, smart, and drama free. But she is not living the life she wishes she was. She dreams of returning to school to finish her degree and freeing her father from jail. When she gets invited to celebrity agent Travis Taggert’s party – she knows immediately that she is out of her league. Travis invited her because she is exactly the type that rock star Shane Hawthorne goes for. And he was right – from the moment Shane meets Delaney – he realizes he must have her. And not just for the sex but he sees the absolute good in her and thinks that she will do amazing things just being around him. He pursues her to be his “fake girlfriend” for his next tour. Having her there will keep him away from the drugs, alcohol and be a buffer between him and the groupies. But Delaney is hiding from a past and has secrets of her own. When their two worlds collide what culminates in the end could either be revealing and releasing or it could end in utter chaos and broken hearts.

Shane Hawthorne is pure cocky rock god. Or at least that’s what he portrays to the public and his fans. But Shane hasn’t been honest with his fans or anyone else for that matter. He isn’t who anyone thinks he is. He is really Sean Sutter who is running from a past he has regretted and ran from for years. But very few know the truth. When he meets Delaney he can’t help but open himself to her completely. He tells her everything – every detail that he has ran from for years.

But Delaney has her own secret that sent her dad to prison for a crime he did not commit. He makes her swear to never tell the truth of the accident, and to never come and see him in prison.

But in one fell swoop – it is released to the public that Shane hires fake girlfriends for his tours. In the fallout from that, he must come face to face with the fact of who he really is and what he has done in his past. And with the urging of Delaney he faces his past head on.

Just when Shane thinks his life just can’t get any better, his world collapses as he finds out that Delaney has been lying to him and with-holding facts about her life. Will he be able to get past the lies that she told and love her completely? Or is it all too much for him to handle, and can he even walk away?

I have never been a fan of “rockstar” romances. But I thoroughly enjoyed this. The characters were real and true.

I felt their guilt and fears and relief when the revealed their truths. Its a glimpse into the lives of rockstar’s and what exactly life on the road and maintaining a relationship really means. I enjoyed the development of the relationships and even enjoyed the sub-characters.

Although I am still on the fence on how I feel about Travis. I hope there is redemption in his future. Shane and Delaney made me swoon and left me wanting more. Would recommend to anyone that loves a good romance with hot and steamy sex scenes thrown in.
