An unbelievably fertile heroine and a lot of weddings

December 17, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

OK, it’s been nearly two months since I finished this, and it wasn’t exactly the most memorable of romances to begin with. Let’s see what I can still remember. Sarah Smith, who never really had a very stable home life, hooks up with rock star Abe Bellamy and ends up pregnant. He wants to do right by her and marries her. She adores him, he seems to like their bedroom antics, but is closed off and withholding emotionally (although secretly, deep down, he clearly cares […]

Rock stars are frequently the rakes of contemporary romance

October 25, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars This is the third book in the Rock Kiss series, but it can easily be read without any previous knowledge of the other books or characters. Noah St. John is the guitarist in world famous rock band Schoolboy Choir. Due to some really dark shit in his past, he’s incredibly messed up and has tremendous difficulties trusting or connecting to people. He doesn’t really feel comfortable around anyone but the other guys in the band, who he’s known since he was a kid […]

The T-Rex and the Mouse

March 8, 2015 by Malin 2 Comments

Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC from NetGalley in return for a fair and objective review. The book will be on general release 10/03/15. Charlotte Baird is anxious and painfully shy due to some unresolved trauma involving her first, very unfortunately chosen boyfriend. When the company she works for hires a new CEO, known for his ruthless efficiency, to come clean up the mess left by corruption and mismanagement, she and pretty much everyone else is terrified they might lose their jobs. Yet Gabriel Bishop, […]

A publicist and a drummer go from friends to lovers

October 22, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

DISCLAIMER! I got this ARC from NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. David Rivera, known as the Gentleman of Rock for his nice manners and penchant for wearing bespoke suits, is the drummer in famous rock band Schoolboy Choir. He’s in love with Thea Arsana, the band’s publicist, and has told her about his feelings, but she has a firm policy not to mix business with pleasure. That’s even before you factor in the fact that her last boyfriend was a complete bastard, […]

A librarian and a rockstar walk into a lift

October 22, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

DISCLAIMER! This ARC was given to me through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. WARNING. This will be a fairly spoilery review, because I’m sick with a cold and can’t be bothered to find a non-spoilery way of describing the plot. Molly Harper is a shy and timid librarian present at a glamorous celebrity party because her older half-sister is a hot shot publicist. Present at the party are the members of Schoolboy Choir, one of the hottest rock bands in the […]

    I felt the same way. Interesting concept, but the execution was lacking.
