4.5 StarsThis second book in “The Rocker…” series picks up with the main focus on Demon’s Wings drummer Jesse Thorton.  The band has settled in California awaiting the birth of front runner Nik Armstrong’s and his girlfriend Ember Jameson’s baby.  The story is set a few months after where the first book left off (epilogue excluded).  Nik and Emmie still have a significant role in this book, even though the focus in on Jesse and the lady he has his sights on—the new housekeeper Layla Daniels.Nik and Emmie’s story was sweet. Jesse and Layla’s story is hot!  Grab a cold drink and a fan to cool yourselves down during their sex scene.There is a nice touch with the development of friendship between Layla and Emmie, especially considering that Emmie’s life until this point has largely been devoid of trustworthy female friends.Guitarist Drake is introduced to Layla’s younger sister Lana, which sets the stage for book 3.These big bad rockers are settling down but they haven’t lost their edge yet!  Lots of cute scenes again this time that show how devoted the gang is to each other.  Jesse’s story has alternating POV between him and Layla along with a chapter by Emmie, and overall it is balanced well.
