A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…
“His lips…his lips should've been illegal.”
I'm just blown away!

This book is like no other book written by this author. It was so different from her other series that I found myself checking and double checking the author of the book after I finished it! I'm used to reading paranormal romance or fantasy by Nalini and now I think I must get used to to New Adult as well. This book isn't fantasy or paranormal, it's plain New Adult. So, if you're as a huge fan of Nalini's as I, then I guess you will love it as much as I did.

Rock Addiction is a rock romance with an alpha rock star and a great heroine. Fox, is our typical rock star. Arrogant, sexy as hell, realistic but above everything he's a real charmer. It's no surprise that Molly is smitten from the very first glance. Molly thinks that Fox is a player and makes no move to approach him, despite being the sister of their manager. Little does Molly know that since Fox noticed her, he can't seem to concentrate on anything but her. She's on his radar and he plans to have a taste...

This book was just incredible. In the beginning she was a bit annoying and confusing character but as we got to know her better, I totally understood her behavior. She was a little unfair to Fox though. She didn't give him a chance and always jumped to conclusions that weren't true. The only problem I had, was the speed their relationship progressed with. One minute they were strangers and the other, they practically lived together. It doesn't make any sense. I think I'd have enjoyed more if their relationship wasn't so rushed.

The second half of the book seemed more realistic. We got to see the problems that most couples face when living together, the challenges they had to go through and their determination to stay together.They were a really cute couple and I loved their bond. They respected each other needs and boundaries, never pushed for more. I loved the way they comfortred ecah other and eventually healed. They both had a rough past but they managed to let that go and embrace their love. Above everything though, I admired Fox. He was surrounded by his band, who were great guys (not all of them) but sometimes they were such a bad influence and yet he was so loyal and devoted to Molly. He never once strayed or did drugs or anything else to give Molly an excuse to leave. Instead he was a real gentleman (ok not always).

Rock Addiction was an amazing book. The main characters were so defferent yet so alike. They were immediately drawn to each other and didn't try to fight that connection but rather embrace it. It was a bit weird yes but I think when you find your other half you can't be picky about it. The plot was unique, there was some drama but I guess that's expected considering their past. Of course there was a lot of romance which was hot, hot, hot and the secondary characters were just a bonus. Some I loved and some I didn't (Can't say I hated them but I didn't quite loved them either).

Are you wondering whether or not to read it?! Well don't. Go pick it up...

Highly recommended!

Review: Rock Courtship (Rock Kiss #1.5) by Nalini Singh

Title: Rock Courtship
Author: Nalini Singh
Series: Rock Kiss #1.5

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon

A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band's publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.
Only problem is, Thea doesn't date clients--or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she's not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.
What she doesn't know is that David is a one-woman man...and he's madly in love with her. David's determined to prove he's worth the risk, and willing to court her, step by exquisite step. Thea's about to discover just how long and hard this handsome drummer can play.
Just WoW!

I thought this series couldn't get any better but apparently I was so wrong (Thank God!).

In Rock Addiction we got to see Fox and Molly's story but it was also the book that Thea, Molly's sister and the band's managed and David, the band's drummer began to fall in love.

Rock courtship tells us how these totally different characters found each other. The book picks up where the previous book left off.

Thea may be the band's manager but she knows that if she wants to be taken seriously she better keep her distance. David is the total opposite from her. Once upon a time he may have admited his fellings to Thea but after been shot down he knows he must take another approach. And he does..

Thea believes that she deserves some time off after working so hard for the band. While on vacation though she can't but keep an eye on the band and that's when she gets the first memo. David won't quit until he gets his HEA. So, it begins. Thea and David exchange a lot of memos in which they argue why they should be a couple. They memos start to get so hot that they both anticipate the time they meet again. And when they do, sparks begin to fly...

Even before reading the book, we do know some info about Thea and David but we don't know the info that really matters. If you've read the previous book then you must be surely wondering why Thea is so cold and avoids men and many other questions. This book will answer those questions. Actually the book provides more than answers. It gives us a lot of background on Thea and David and their families as well. I thought that I knew all about the band in the first book but after reading Rock courtship I feel like I knew nothing.

I really loved this book but there were times that the flow was very slow. This book is a novella, which means it's a lot smaller than an actual book so I excepcted a lot of action and less background. It's not that I didn't appreciate the background but I really wanted to see more action for Thea and David.

Despite that, I had no other problem with the book. As the previous book there was a major twist that almost ripped Thea and David apart but by then, they already trusted each other so there wasn't any big drama.

What I loved the most were the incredible memos they sent to each other. Eveytime I read one, I'd feel their passion, loneliness, anger and their happiness in the end.

As always, Nalini is one of my favourite authors and I absolutely recommend this book (especially if you've read book one).
