ROCK ME, GENTLY is the latest release in M.J. Schiller's contemporary, adult, romance series about the bad boys of rock and roll.  Every story is a stand alone and not interconnected.  This is Josh Dunningham-front man for the rock group Money Back Guaranteed and advertising executive Cassie McCallister's storyline.Told from alternating close third person POV the premise follows the building relationship between Josh and Cassie, and the eventual discovery that someone is targeting Cassie for destruction.  Josh and Cassie first met in Las Vegas where Cassie and her friend were in town for a little R&R.; Josh is a bit of a man-whore and Cassie was his next intended conquest but Cassie ran before anything could happen. Josh could not get Cassie out of his mind and sets into motion a plan to make Cassie his own.Josh is the epitome of a rock and roll god-alcohol, drugs and women but something about Cassie pulls at Josh and he intends to discover the who and what of Cassie McCallister. As one band mate considers retirement another considers revenge and uses everything and everyone to get what he wants.  Money Back Guaranteed, for all of their success, is a band on the verge of falling apart.Cassie and Josh's relationship is tumultuous in the beginning. Cassie has a difficult time trusting anyone with her heart and Josh has a past that considers Cassie expendable and that past sees Cassie as standing in the way.  When threatening letters turn to physical violence, Cassie's safety is compromised by the lifestyle of the man who has stolen her heart.MJ Schiller pulls the reader into a fast paced, emotional and sometimes humorous  storyline of one couple's journey towards a happily ever after. The secondary characters including friends, family and wanna be's  are colorful, dangerous, and drive a  portion of the premise. We get a revealing look at both Josh and Cassie's background: from emotional childhood drama to their adult successes and failures.  No one's past is without a few skeletons in the closet.I was gifted a copy
