I love band books, rockers and their wild nights… but there is something unique about Fallen For Rock and I just adored this book. I wanted Mike to take on the world when things got rough, I wanted Emily to decide that Mike wasn’t a rebound… I wanted so much from this book… but what I got was anything but what I expected. It was awesome!Emily doesn’t do rock. She doesn’t understand it and it really has no place in her world. She doesn’t operate that way. But her ex-boyfriend did. He lived it and loved it. But it was just too much for Emily to handle. He was just too obsessed with it. Ultimately that is what broke them up, but what happened after that was anything but what Emily was expecting.Nate had entered a contest when they were still together to win tickets to a MonX concert and VIP treatment. He won the concert and had the passes sent to Emily’s. Only problem… he wasn’t returning any of her calls, clearly done with the entire relationship. But she tried to contact him over and over to no avail. So she went to the show. This was going to be a new experience for her. She had never been to a rock concert. She had no idea what to expect.But everything she thought she was expecting turned into so much more when she ended up on the tour bus after spending a lot of time with Mike’s brother behind the scenes. When she finally met Mike, she decided that she was going to cut loose a little. Live a little, rock a little… She had taken time off from her job and this was her chance to get out there and experience life.I am not sure she was expecting what she got herself into, but once she was there, she knew she was going to take advantage of the situation she found herself in. Mike and Emily became fast friends, in and outside of the bedroom. But could there be potential for anything more there? Could she forget how much she loved Nate and just move on? Could Mike change who he was and want anything more than a fling with Emily? And what about the rest of the band? How will they react to their new traveling companion?This book was just amazing. It had fun twists and turns and new binds at every turn, but it was so much more than that. It was a great journey of self discovery. Emily finally had the chance to step away from her carefully planned life and find out who she really was. What she wanted out of life and she found the courage and determination to follow through with what she wanted and she found the strength to find love all over again.I will admit, I was a little nervous at the beginning when I found out that this would all be written in the language of the locale. I thought that it would be a bit distracting as I usually have to pause and remember where an author lives when words aren’t spelled the same and there are new twists on phrases that I am used to hearing. It typically makes me take pause when I come to words like realise and pyjamas and cute phrases that we say in everyday life, “He looked like a million pounds.” Now for those across the ocean these are normal words and phrases. But it worked really well in this book, because the scene was set in the location of the language. I actually grew really fond of it in this book. It doesn’t work in a lot of books, but in this one it does.This book was hot, it was sweet and it shows the power of friends, faith and staying true to who you are, even if you are rediscovering who you are supposed to be. Nicky Wells writes with a great passion for rock and it shows throughout the pages of this book.
