ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 26, 2024

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

REVIEW: THE ROCKER’S MUSE by Penelope Ward is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, rock romance story line focusing on thirty-eight year old, rock star Tristan Daltrey, and twenty-two year old, assistant Emily Applewood.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emily and Tristan) THE ROCKER’S MUSE follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Emily Applewood was desperate to speak to Tristan Daltrey, a man she didn’t know, much less, didn’t have any idea about his music or his life but Emily finds herself interviewing for the position of the band’s assistant wherein she will discover the mutual attraction between herself and the lead singer. As Emily’s time with the band means more time with our story line hero, Emily knows that the secret she had so desperately tried to reveal is about to pull her away from the man with whom she is falling in love. Months will pass, each will find someone else, yet Emily knows it is time to confront the man with the secrets she has kept far too long.

The world building focuses on the band Delirious Jones, and the growing relationship between our story line couple but Emily has a secret, and suspects, her secret may destroy the man with whom she is falling in love.

The relationship between Emily and Tristan is an age-gap romance between band assistant and rock star singer. Tristan finds himself pull into the home-spun aura that is our story line heroine but Emily is about to break Tristan’s heart with the secret she knows. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are introduced to the members of the band:bass player Ronan Barber and drummer Atticus Marchetti, and tour photographer Layla, as well as Emily’s mother Terry Applewood. Here’s hoping the author has plans for every member of the band.

THE ROCKER’S MUSE is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional and engaging; the romance is seductive ; the characters are sassy and dynamic.
