In Olivia Cunning’s Staged, Steve Aimes, drummer for top metal band Exodus End, is a romantic at heart, but after his ex-wife’s betrayal, he’s been abstaining from emotion (although definitely not from sex). When he sees Roux Williams in the limo that picks up the band, he assumes that she’s a “whore” hired for the…
It took me a little while to get into Exposed, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it. Taking two characters who have obviously had pent-up feelings for each other for a while and who are part of a tight-knit friend group, and throwing them into a ‘casual’ relationship is bound to make for a…
Ainslie Paton can always be counted on to write sexy, compelling, and unique romances and she’s done it again with One Wicked Lick from the Drummer, the third story in her The One series.

How does a gay agoraphobic fine artist find love? In the pantheon of opposites attract romances, how artist Miles Caldwell and rock sensation Adam Craig (of Black Varen, the band of the moment) meet and fall in love might be one of the most stirring. After his parents die in a car crash from which…
I know a book is good when I skip my usual nap during the morning commute to read it, especially after staying up half the night because I had to see where the story went next. This book is an about an Irish rock star who preaches peace and love and giving to charities around…
