My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.

Ashleigh Baker is nothing like the groupies and celebrities who usually have all my attention. In her cute floppy hat with her knees stained with dirt, she spends her days creating a flowering show piece from her rented yard. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met, and she acts like she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with me. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, she’s all I can think about.

Ashleigh

Growing up the only child of an Air Force Colonel, all I wanted was to stay in one place for more than a minute. When I score a pretty little house with a long-term lease, I just want to grow my flowers and my freelancing gig as a music reviewer. Then a loud Harley wakes me from a sound sleep and I discover my neighbor is Blu Connolly. Yeah, that Blu Connolly, lead singer for my favorite band Balefire. With his killer good looks and panty-melting voice, he’s a walking temptation to sin. Though I do my best to avoid him, it seems Blu has other ideas. He’s on a mission to wear me down, let him in, but what happens when he stops wanting to sing for me?

Author Bio:

Tam DeRudder Jackson is the author of the paranormal romance Talisman Series and the contemporary romance Balefire Series. Her favorite “room” in her house is her back patio where she dreams up stories of romance and risk. When she’s not writing her latest paranormal or contemporary romance, you can usually find her driving around with the top down in her convertible or carving turns on the slopes of the local ski hill. The mom of two grown sons, Tam likes to travel, attend rock concerts, watch football and soccer, and visit old car shows with her husband. She lives in the mountains of northwest Wyoming where she spends most of her free time trying to read all the books. Her TBR piles are threatening to take over her office, and she’s fine with that.

My Review

Rockstar romances can be a bit of a mixed bag. It usually involves a hero that has already managed to sleep his way through a huge amount of female fans. While our hero here does fall into that category, our heroine doesn't meet him in that way. Instead, she is fully aware of his status as a musician and for a bad that she loves, but living next to his mother means that she meets him in his more 'normal' persona.
This was an entertaining romance and did well juggling the famous rock star with the side of his personality that wants to more conventional romantic life, once he meets the woman for him.
There were a few things that I felt were left a little unresolved by the end of the story. None of these was a major plot point. (Having said that, we don't really find out if there is any consequences for the person who tries to come between them.) I do wonder if this is because this is part of a series and we will find out more about some aspects of the band's life when we see the other band members stories.
Overall this was an entertaining read that I enjoyed. I'd be keen to read more in the series and follow the bad for a bit longer.
