ROCK LEGEND (NOTHING BUT TROUBLE #2)

I'm no Prince Charming.

Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.

Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.

Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.

Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

Nikki’s Review:

I'm blown away. Really fucking blown away! Can I just tell you to buy the book and read it? Because seriously, this book will more than likely end up on my top 5 favourites of 2018.

Tara Leigh is a new to me author. I read the first book in this series, Rock King, and I adored it. But this book has now made Ms. Leigh an auto read for me! 

Landon Cox has fame and money. He's the drummer for the wildly popular band, Nothing But Trouble. Despite having the world at his feet, he's not content, and he's far from happy. He numbs his life with booze, drugs, and women...a lot of women. But there's one woman in particular that he's never forgotten and wants back desperately, Piper Hastings.

Man, I loved these two together. I loved the chemistry and push and pull between them. The love scenes lit up the damn pages; seriously smokin' hot! 

Piper and Landon both have their share of baggage and drama in their lives. But what drew me in and convinced me they could work past the bad stuff, was their absolute need for each other. It was like they were each other's oxygen. I could feel the love between them...even when they didn't want to admit it!

I appreciated the realness of Landon's rock star lifestyle. The author didn't sugar coat the substance abuse or the journey to recovery. 

The writing was beyond stellar. Admittedly, first person POV isn't my favourite, but Tara Leigh's writing pulled me in so much that I didn't even pay attention to that. I loved that you got both of the characters perspectives.

I'm not sure I can do this book justice with my review, but I hope I've convinced you to give this series a go. While this book can be read as a stand alone, do yourself a favour and start with book #1, Rock King. Trust me, you don't want to miss Shane's story. He's cocky and too sexy for his own good! 

Rating: 5 Stars (A+)
