I’ve tried a few rocker books in the past and just not really loved any of them. Well, that streak is OVER. Because hot damn, did I *LOVE* Rocked.I messaged Megan at some point and said “this is like Smut Rating: 7″ because holy hotness. Get your SmutSlut butts over to Amazon and one-click this bad-boy because Deacon & Harper are both amazing and so is their book.I feel like words fail how much I loved this book. I finished it last night (err.. early this morning. Pass the caffeine!) and I’ve still been thinking about Deacon all day. This was one of those books that had Megan and I messaging back and forth several times. At one point I yelled at her to stop texting me because Deacon and Harper were about to do the deed and she was distracting me. She tried to taunt me saying it might be ages before they got there and it lead to a hysterical auto-correct fail. (see original link for photo)Deacon is the bassist for the band Oblivion. Oblivion is on tour as an opening act for Rebel Rage. He’s amazing. Tall, dark and handome, but also loyal, funny, sweet, amazing in the sack (AMAZING), and a little tortured. JUST THE WAY I LIKE MY BOOK BOYFRIENDS. We get little pieces of his background throughout the book. Just little cookie crumbs that make him believable, forgivable and even more lovable.And there’s Harper, too. Harper Pruitt is a chef on the music tour. She’s the daughter of roadies and used to be a roadie herself, but she has bigger dreams. Turns out, her big dreams meant a 6’5″ Rock God.I just love Harper. Seriously, I want to BE her. She cool, funny, a little squeamish about love, but mostly because she wants to focus on her career while she’s young. She’s got screwed (literally) by a douche-bag musician when she was younger so she avoids the talent while out on tour. Until Deacon.But Deacon can make you question all your decisions. As he well should because he’s amazing. :dreamy sigh: Okay. I’m going to stop gushing. Seriously, the book is good. The writing is good, the characters are so awesome. The smut is out of this world.It’s not just Harper & Deacon. We get to know all of the band and it just feels like family. When Deacon is wronged (no spoilers) I wanted to punch some people in the face, but it wasn’t just him. Jazz (drummer chick) is hurt, too and that just made me want to cutabitch. To care that deeply for the not-main character (I refuse to call them B characters because they were very prominent) is just awesome.The man was a damn temple of sin in skin. Unreal.I seriously can not wait for the other books. There is a prequel out now, but eventually all the band members are supposed to get their book and I just can’t wait. I’m going to go one-click the prequel now and then try to distract myself until the next book comes out. I’m sure this one will be on my re-read list at some point, too.“Come back with me. Let me hold you tonight.”Smut Factor: 5 stars- Had to wake my husband at 2am to quench my “need.” (seriously. 6 stars at least. Maybe 7.)Character likability: 5 stars- He’s my book boyfriend and I want to BE her.Storytelling: 5 stars- I wake up thinking this really happened.Writing and editing quality: 4 stars- Well done!
