I had some difficulty with this book. I realized later that I'd started the prequel to this Seduced only to put it aside. Now I remember why. Rocked is a classic NA rock star book. It has some great characters - the band - Deacon, Nick, Simon, Jazz and Gray. Rocked focused on Deacon and his relationship with the chef who traveled with the bands, Harper. Unfortunately, I never really consistently connected with Harper. Sometimes I really liked her and at others, she was annoying. Her sayings "big guy" or "Sweet Pete" or "pal" - ugh! annoying. I liked Deacon more but I grew tired of the constant references to his body - how great it was, how sculpted, how tall, etc. I also, and I am almost embarrassed to admit this, grew tired of the sex. I am a smut queen, but I like a little story with my sex. At times, Harper and Deacon were going at it like bunnies. But it felt gratuitous - not at all part of the plot. I even skipped a few pages. The scenes with the band and the issues with the record company were actually better than the scenes between Deacon and Harper. I really, really wanted to like the book but just couldn't connect well with the two MCs.
