Excerpt:
Her heart
was pounding hard in her chest, the thunderous live applause still echoing
around her and the rush of success and pride in overcoming what could have been
a disaster, had her soaring.
“Did you see
that?” she asked Ben. “My earpiece went dead and I nailed it
anyway!”
“You totally
did,” he said, a huge grin on his face that let her know he understood what a
huge moment this was.
She squealed
in excitement and threw her arms around his neck, needing to share her
exhilaration. Their gazes met and locked, the air around them suddenly
crackling with tension and sexual need even Ben couldn’t deny.
She knew
what she wanted, knew there was no better time to go about it. Her gaze fell to
his mouth and she pressed her lips against his. He jerked in surprise then
groaned, thrust his hand beneath her hair, holding her against him as he slid
his tongue past the seam of her lips and kissed her back.
He might
think he wanted to keep his distance but his body was demanding they get close,
his mouth gliding back and forth over hers, razor stubble bristling her cheeks
in a sweet burn and his tongue delved deep. Against her stomach, she felt the
hard press of his erection, causing desire to sweep over her in
waves.
No wonder
she hadn’t found a guy she wanted to keep in her life. No one could live up to
Ben.
He kissed
like he wanted to possess her.
Own
her.
Keep her.

Nikki’s Review:
Fun.
I always have so much fun in any world Carly Phillips conjures up! This brand
new series is just as delicious as some of my other favourites by this
author.
Summer
and Ben have a past. He's been burned by her, or so he thinks, and she feels
awful for how things ended between them. One of the things that I appreciated
from the get go, was that the misunderstanding between them was cleared up
quickly. A simple conversation made things better. Sure, they still had issues
and obstacles standing in their way, but there wasn't this simmering animosity
that often annoys me in romance novels.
Ben
is Summer's bodyguard. She's an up and coming pop star. This makes for a lot of
up close and personal interactions between the hero and heroine...wink wink. I
loved the dynamic between these two. After the mess of their past was cleared
away they had an easy affection for each other. Don't get me wrong, there was
lots of inner angst going on, but the chemistry was always noticeable. Speaking
of chemistry...Ben seems like he'd be a lot of fun in the sweaty sex
department.
I
can already tell that this series is going to be like a "family
saga". The characters aren't related by blood, but their friendships
make them family by choice. There's an easy camaraderie between Ben and his
friends/colleagues. I enjoyed the parts where I got a peek into Ben's life
outside his job.
I
really enjoyed the easy flow of this book. The plot pulled me in from the first
page and held on tight until the end. I'm already looking forward to the next
few books in the series! The set up is there and I'm already intrigued. Rock Me was a fantastic start to this
series!

Liza’s Review:
Rock Me is the first book in the new
Bodyguard Bad Boys from Carly Phillips. I was once again pulled into the story
from the very first page and devoured this book.
I adore a second chance romance, and Rock Me was done so very well. I loved Summer Michelle from the
moment we met her and broody and sexy Ben Hollander made me swoon a bit from
the very beginning. Seriously loved they had a past and Ben was hired to be
Summer's bodyguard. I felt instant chemistry between these two characters and
couldn't wait for them to act upon their mutual attraction.
While Ben was hired to keep Summer safe, and there were elements
of suspense around who was behind the threats on Summer, I felt like this story
was really more of a straight up romance. I had a pretty good idea early on who
was behind everything, just not why. However, I loved how being back together
brought Summer and Ben together as a couple really quickly. They just worked so
well as a couple for me. I loved they really were friends as well as lovers and
began to confide in each other about family issues and both wanted to help the
other out with said family issues.
The sex scenes between Ben and Summer were smoking hot! I loved
that Summer had no problems going after what she wanted when it came to Ben and
he was powerless to resist his attraction for long. I also loved the fun and
tender scenes between them. I feel like I'm gushing about them as a couple, but
they just gave me all the feels and I loved seeing two such strong characters
find a way back to one another.
Rock Me was an awesome start to the
new Bodyguard Bad Boys series from Carly Phillips. She nailed the second chance
romance from their very first encounter. I loved seeing Summer and Ben find
their way back to each other. I love books in a series and can't wait to see
each of the sexy bodyguards fall in love with each new story.
