{{Xpresso Book Tours}} Blog Tour + Giveaway: [Review] BAD BOY ROCK STAR by CANDY J. STARR

Bad Boy Rock Star by Candy J. Starr
Publication date: November 18th 2013
Genres: New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Hannah Sorrento never planned to be a band manager. She’s a princess. The toughest obstacle she’s had to face is finding shoes to match her outfit.

Then her father disappears and she’s left with only the money in her purse and a contract for the management of hot, indie rock band, STORM. She plans to sell the management company, one or another, then head back to law school with her designer wardrobe and wait for this whole mess to blow over.

But lead singer, Jack Colt, has other ideas and he’s messing with Hannah’s head. Not to mention her heart.

With the help of crazy rock chick, Angie, Hannah sets the band on their first steps to the big time and learns that poor people can have a  lot of fun.

But this isn’t some game she can escape from and soon her secrets get exposed.

He’s arrogant and infuriating but he’s the one that’s there for Hannah when her world comes crashing down. With secrets of his own, will Jack Colt save Hannah or destroy her?



Where to Purchase: 

(* I received a ecopy of Bad Boy Rock Star for this tour. I'm not a paid reviewer. These thoughts are my own*)
**Semi- Spoiler alert**

I really enjoy Bad Boy Rock Star. I did give it a 5 star however its probably a low 5 star (maybe a 4.5) . I did have somethings I wasn't happy about but in the end didn't effect my all over view/rating over the book.

What I liked:

The story line: I'm a sucker for Rock Stars and Romance so that pretty much had me. I did enjoy how the main girl, Hannah had to learn how to pick herself up after a family scandal. She was once Rich never having to worry about what was going to happen next until the scandal happened and then she had to learn. Then the ever so sexy rock star Jack Colt wants nothing to do with her. She has to manage his band because its all she has left to do. I think this was fun part because she had no idea what she was doing and just winged it or had help from her new friend Angie. 

The writing: I truly enjoyed Candy's easy going writing. I found it easy to understand and was able to picture all that was going on. It was like a movie in my head. I love it when a book can create a on going movie in my head..make the book 10x more enjoyable.

The Characters: At time I did get a little annoyed with Hannah and with Jack..however as an all over view of them I truly enjoyed them. Hannah was just a snobby/stuck up sometime..not all the time just sometimes..I however connected well with her and was able to keep the connection even when she was annoying :P I did LOVE Jack even if he had hot/cold attitude..he probably could give you whiplash a few times with his switching back and forth moods..but I still again connected well with him. I really love Eric and I do hope that someday he will find love and Candy will tell his story. 

What I didn't like:

The Ending: Okay really it's not that I didn't like the end..I actually thought the ending was cute in a way. What I didn't like is where it ended. It ends right when Jack goes after Hannah..and thats what I didn't like it.. leave us hanging and wondering happens..lot of unanswered questions.(reason for my lower 5 star :P ) Now I just am dying to know what will happened next! I really hope Candy will finish the next book soon so I can read it already! 

All in all I enjoyed Bad Boy Rock Star! I would recommend it to other NA Romance fans! It was a wonderful read even if it had a Cliffhanger ending :P 







About The Author

Candy J. Starr used to be a band manager until she realised that the band she managed was so lacking in charisma that they actually sucked the charisma out of any room they played. “Screw you,” she said, leaving them to wallow in obscurity – totally forgetting that they owed her big bucks for video equipment hire.

Candy has filmed and interviewed some big names in the rock business, and a lot of small ones. She’s seen the dirty little secrets that go on in the back rooms of band venues. She’s seen the ugly side of rock and the very pretty one.

But, of course, everything she writes is fiction.

Synopsis 
She didn’t know what she was missing…until he found her.

Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking, and seductively charming. He was everything Jeanella didn’t need in her life. Only Maxwell didn’t see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making her even more determined to push him away.

Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for Jeanella Mefferd. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends, her job, and even the guy she’d started dating. Then one night, while at dinner, she spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt before—dangerous, heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her new boss’s son. Now, heading to a New York fashion show, would she be able to focus on her career instead of Maxwell, who had been scheduled to attend with her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters, his good looks, smooth words and determination to win her over gravitated her toward him. The next thing she knew, her mind was utterly consumed by him. Would she be willing to ignore all the dangerous signs and jump into his arms? Or would she miss out on the chance of finding something great?

He makes her question everything without even trying and it might just push her over the edge… if she doesn’t give her heart to him first.

Title: Fire And Ice

Author: Michele Barrow-Belisle

Published: July 4th 2013

Genre: YA, Fantasy/Paranormal 


Synopsis via Goodreads
Adventure wasn’t something Lorelei Alundra was interested in. Gifted with two otherworldly talents for singing and healing, she’s always shied away from her gifts and the spotlight, preferring quiet anonymity, over attention and fame. But when she meets the enigmatic Adrius, with his dark and dangerous mystique and eyes that peer into her soul, her uneventful life becomes irrevocably altered.

Adrius turns up in every one of her classes and knows more about her than any newcomer should. Including the condition of her mother who is suffering from a mysterious illness. Accepting his offer to help leads her into a terrifying and thrilling world, where Elves are even hotter than Legolas, and Faeries.... are nothing like Tinkerbell. Lose the butterfly wings and add a tattoo. The two magical beings are fire and ice opposites. One Lorelei can’t help falling for, and the other she's compelled to be with.

Now she’s trapped in their world, expected to prevent a war between witches and faeries, or forfeit her mother’s life. Nothing is what it seems. Not her family. Not the Fey. Not even Adrius, whose feelings for her balance precariously between danger and desire. 

As secrets unravel and unsettling truths are revealed, Lorelei must fight to save much more than her mother’s life. One mistake could put the fate of his world— and her soul, in jeopardy. 

But hey, no pressure… right.

Publication date: November 21st 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Blackmail. And Power…
Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it’s the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love…Love isn’t patient, love isn’t kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that’s how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I’ve never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I’m being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don’t regret.

Trey…

With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She’s the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she’s back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don’t know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she’s the closest I’ve ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it.

How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?
