I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review. *Usually, I am not a fan of rocker style books. However, this book has turned me into a believer. Oh my goodness, there was so much hot steamy sexiness in this book - I may have burned the tips of my fingers from holding my tablet. I adored everything about this book from the characters to the plot to the rock theme.Sydney was a fun character and a firecracker! She knew what she wanted from the moment she wanted down to Lightnin’s rehearsal. However, there are a couple of things she miscalculated with jumping into head first without you know talking to the band. It's funny to watch her reaction to Rick. She clearly had that first meeting going an entirely different way. However, she learned from the mistake and moved past it. She has so much interaction in the book, it made me tired just thinking of being in her shoes! So many demands on her shoulders and things that are riding on her decisions, she is a super strong character.Then there is Rick...who doesn't love a strong and alpha guitarist with a soft side. He is amusingly stubborn. There are times you read a sentence of his and you just shake your head. However, he redeems himself when he does something shockingly sweet. I am glad he pushed Sydney's buttons, she needs someone to push them. That girl has some baggage because of her aunt.The supporting characters in this book are amazing. Emma is fantastic, I haven't read about her in Joy Ride, but I definately will after this. I want to know more about her. Then there is Marc, who just wants to see his friend Rick as happy as he is and for once put himself first in finding happiness. Butch is the music manager, you hope really exist. There are too many stories of people being in the music business for just the money. He is funny and when the time comes super supportive of Sydney. Then there is the antagonist, Macey Shreiner, I hope that lady gets all kind of weird rashes where the sun don't shine! Man I would've punched her and claimed an arm spasm.Then there is the romance - oh man it's wonderful. Soooo wonderful, like I need to take a cold shower wonderful. I don't want to give you too many details about that, you just have to find out. ;)I can't wait to read more about the rest of the members of Lightnin.
