Series: Kinky Shine #2
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Rock Star Romance
~Blurb~
They were married but never kissed.
That night years ago never had consequences…until now.
“I wasn’t into the love bullshit and I didn’t really believe in forever between two people.’’
If I had my way, I would have never seen Maxen Walton again, the womanizing drummer of Kinky Shine.
When I met him in college he was already going through girls as if they were disposable. I had always hated him. Yet, for some drunken reason I ended up marrying him in Las Vegas. That night, right before I puked in the fake flowers and left the tacky chapel was the last time I had laid eyes on him.
Until my boyfriend asked me to marry him.
Now, I was in LA trying to get a divorce from my husband without the press hearing about it.
What I didn’t expect was that my famous husband affected me and that getting to know him would change a lot more than I ever planned.
“All I saw now was Lark, always and forever out of my reach, always driving me crazy.’’
I had only ever met one woman who equally drove me crazy and made me want her until I forgot my name.
Lark Hardin.
And I married her one crazy night in Las Vegas.
Freshly out of rehab and trying like hell to get back in the game while convincing my best friend I wouldn’t relapse, seeing my wife again was the last thing I needed for that.
Life liked f*cking with me, though.
Here she was, so sexy I would damn myself to be inside her just once, but she wasn’t here for me. She was here to get a divorce so her perfect boyfriend had free range to marry her.
She still hated my guts on the sole principle that I was a womanizing f*cker, but maybe she would open her eyes and see beyond that part of me.
I just hoped it wouldn’t be just for the sex because this woman had always been my weakness.
She had the power to destroy me.
“I’d spent the better part of my life hiding behind my bright smile and loud laugh, pushing everything away by using sex, but that was over.’’

~Book Review~
DNF
I debated about signing up for this one.
I knew Maxen had been a manwhore and had a drug habit, and I knew the heroine
was seeing someone else. The Sweet Home
Alabama premise was either going to work or not, and I figured a lot of
that depended on the story focusing on the H and the h and not other people.
But I had hopes that the author could pull it off. The only reason I considered
this title was because Dex, the first book in the series, was so well written and the
rockstar hero was a celibate wet dream, a refreshing spin for sure. So color me utterly disappointed that the opening
scene of Maxen is one of the most
trite, overused, and unromantic tropes in romance.
When oh when will this ‘h hears/sees the
H having sex with another woman’ theme go away??? It’s like a bad venereal
disease that not only keeps coming back, it spreads. It’s unoriginal, unattractive,
and it’s completely counterproductive to
creating chemistry between the H & h. I can’t unread it, and I can’t connect with
the characters as a couple afterwards.
My supermarket was out of brain bleach so this one gets
tossed in the DNF pile.
