I finished Rocked, last night. God, it was good. I’d been in a little bit of a reading funk and this got me out of it.I’d read the prequel, Seduced, about the band Oblivion and while I liked it, I loved Rocked. I think Seduced was too busy, too many characters to learn as they set up the dynamics for the band. Rocked still featured the band and a whole bunch of drama but it centered on bassist Deacon McCoy and food truck chef, Harper Pruitt. First, let me say that I love how Harper is a chef for the roadies and band. Her career is something original and it was a creative way for Deacon to get to spend time with her…who doesn't have to eat? Harper is fun yet responsible, an old soul in a carefree life style, she brings stability to Deacon even though she is afraid of being tied down. She has loyalty to Deacon and gives him the ‘home’ he’s never had.Deacon. Wow…I love the big guy. At 6’5, lean and muscular, what’s not to love? He is an old soul too, logical, the peacemaker, preferring to stay behind the scenes while his band mates get the attention. He is a good guy, not self absorbed, not your typical rocker. His pursuit of Harper was adorable. They are adorable. I love this couple. He is genuine and sincere in his love for her. Like Harper, I couldn't resist him.Now the nitty gritty…I've read 27 books by Cari Quinn and the woman can write sex scenes like nobody else. Her partner in crime for this series is Taryn Elliott and the two of them wrote some of the steamiest scenes I've read in a long time. Wow… from hard to sweet and everything in between, Harper and Deacon are killer, whether it’s in the bus, in the shower, in the shed or between the sheets.Some of the band dynamics got to be too much but I think it was necessary to set up the next four books. It was really intense between the band. Hopefully, they all learn to play nice. I read that Deacon and Harper get a novella this summer called Shake, Rattle and Roll. I have an idea what it’s about and I’ll be downloading the day it comes out. This will tie us over until we get Gray and Jazz’s story in Twisted. Speaking of… I’m worried about Gray, and what he’s up to, I have a feeling it’s really bad. The heat between Jazz and Gray has been simmering, and when they get together it’s going to be explosive.Get Rocked, you won’t be disappointed. Even if you skip Seduced, you’ll still understand who everyone is and the dynamics.4.5 starsMoisture: I’m giving it a 5Cover: 4
