A new Sons of Sin book!

Are you a fan of Rockstar romances? How about second chance romances? If so, then you need to put Shooting Star in the Rain on your anticipated reads list!

If you've read Bed of Nails (Sons of Sin #2), then you'll recall seeing Jake and Cara in the background. If you've read that book, then you KNOW how the stage was set for their epic romance. I can't lie, I have high expectations for Shooting Star in the Rain. My gut tells me this is going to be an intense story that will be filled with emotional moments.

Is it November 1st yet?

What do you do when your heart wants the one that got away? What do you do when she comes back broken? Can you love her scars and all?

~Jake~

The day I decided to finally lay out my feelings for the girl of my dreams was the day life threw me a curve.

In order to do what I knew in my heart was right, I had to give up my dreams of making it big with my band.

And my dream of her.

Since i got my daughter out of it, I’m not sorry.

But now a second curveball has just come, courtesy of the band I had to leave.

They’re making the big time now and they need me back.

I’m heading on tour with them, my guitar, my daughter...and her.

A second chance to win the girl of my dreams? Maybe.

But this time around we both have a lot of baggage.

~Cara~

I’m broken. I know it.

My brother knows it.

The band knows it.

Every day I go through the motions, more so I don’t worry the people who care about me than because I’m actually getting better.

Honestly, I don’t deserve to heal.

It was one impulsive decision.

A desire to help my brother and the band I see as brothers.

I’d go along on their tour and play nanny for the most adorable little girl I’ve ever seen.

The band would get one of their founding members back.

A win for everyone.

Until Jake learns more about me than I ever wanted anyone to know.

And I learn more about him than I could’ve imagined.

When life separates two souls, leaving them beaten and bloody, can love forge them into something stronger? When the storms of their past threaten, can their love remain as bright as a shooting star in the rain?

Bed of Nails {a review}

Oh reader friends....If you are a fan of rockstar romances, then head over to Amazon and one click Bed of Nails now! I think you'll fall for Dane and Cami. Not to mention be curious about Ryder, Maddox, and Jake. Or maybe that's just me.

If you read Goodbye is a Second Chance, then you'll remember Dane and Cami. Dane is the drummer for the Sons of Sin, and Cami was hired on as their stylist. It was almost immediate that a close friendship was formed between the two. In Bed of Nails, we find out more about them and of course their backgrounds. This friends to lovers romance will have you swooning over Dane's protective nature, and having your heart broken for the situation that Cami has found herself in. But you'll also be cheering her on, as she overcomes and puts that ordeal to rest. You'll also get to witness the next book getting set up, and that one is going to be spectacular I can just tell. Anyway back to Dane and Cami. These two are obviously attracted to each other but are fighting it. Especially since Cami is in a relationship with Travis. Dane is struggling though, and he is realizing that he is going to need to step back from their friendship in order to save himself. It's all getting to be too much. But when it is time for Angel and Josephine's wedding, that is when things change. That is when the shit hits the fan, and everything is laid out. It is wonderful. It is what is needed. But there is still more to come after that, and it gets intense for a bit.

I can't lie, I enjoyed Bed of Nails more than Goodbye is a Second Chance. Maybe it's because I have a bit more history with the band and am familiar with the characters, or maybe it was just the storyline itself. No matter what though both books are fabulous. Highly recommend picking up the series. Cannot wait to see what happens in the next three books!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts,
Laura

They say love is blind. But Dane and Cami are the ones with the vision problems, because everyone else can see what’s growing between these two. And it isn’t the friendship they keep claiming.

Dane

They say all drummers are a little crazy. And when it comes to my overprotective nature, my sisters, and pretty much everyone else, agrees that I parted company with rationality long ago. But I can't help it. I need to look out for the people I care about. And surprisingly, my best friend Cami, has made the top of that list. I'm trying to rein it in, but I know what her boyfriend is doing. When I catch him, I don't know if anyone will be able to stop my need to keep her safe.

Cami

They say most girls have a 'type'. My type? Trouble. I've gone through d-bag after d-bag in my dating life, but I can honestly say, none have been as bad as my current boyfriend Travis. But they say love takes work, right? So I'll keep trying to make things work until either Travis calls it quits or there's nothing left to fight for. I just have to figure out why I spend every night dreaming about my best friend, Dane.These two proclaim they're just friends loud and proud, despite what everyone around them thinks. Until suddenly, friendship isn't enough, and Dane and Cami see what's been right in front of them. But when Cami's troubles gets out of hand, will her fighting nature and Dane's protective streak be enough to protect her from Travis.

Goodbye is a Second Chance {a review}

Are you a fan of Rockstar romances? How about friends to enemies to lovers? Forced proximity? Opposites attract? A little slow burn? Then keep on reading!

Goodbye is a Second Chance is the first book in the new Sons of Sins series by Nola Marie!

The Sons of Sins consists of Ryder, Maddox, Dane, and Angel. These guys are getting ready to head out on tour, but before they do, they are filming a video for their latest single. When Josephine walks in with Camilla (their handling wardrobe for the band), Angel is shocked, angry, and hurt. He and Josephine (Josie only to him) used to be friends, and he doesn't know what happened to end that. Now though, now they are enemies and want nothing to do with each other. When Josephine spots Angel, she's immediately on edge and the memories of time long gone come flooding back in. So what happened between these two? Will they survive being stuck on tour together?

Goodbye is a Second Chance was a good read. Throughout the book I found myself wondering what would happen next, and how the story would play out. Since this book was my introduction to Nola Marie, I wasn't certain if I would get my HEA or not, but it's definitely there. Having read the book, I am finding myself really curious about Ryder, Maddox, and Dane. I want to know their stories. But I also know that they are future books, so I need to be patient. What can I even say about Angel and Josephine? They've been friends since they were babies. They've been through so much together. Angel knew that Josephine loved him back in high school. He was always the one quieting the people who would bully her. Their connection is just amazing. Now as adults they both have issues to work through, and neither wants to talk about it with the other. At times I found myself frustrated with these two. Yes, Josephine has been hurt in the past, but my mind just cannot wrap my head around the fact that she's still holding on to all of that 10 years later. Same goes for Angel.

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book. It was just their inability to willingly communicate that was frustrating to me. I loved when Josephine finally blew up and just laid it all out there. I loved the song that Angel wrote. I loved the little concert at the end. And now I'm really curious about Dane and Cami. They had better be the second book.

When it's all said and done, I chose to give Goodbye is a Second Chance 4 stars.

Should you choose to read the book, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Just know that these rockstars definitely live up to their stereotype, so there is sex, drugs, and rock n roll throughout the book.

Thank you for reading my thoughts,

Sons’ of Sin- the hottest new band on tour. But their bassist strums a sour chord when he gets a glimpse of their wardrobe assistant.

Angel

Betrayal after betrayal leaves me knowing damn well women can’t be trusted for more than a good time and a quick goodbye.

Now, I live for my music, my band, and the highs of rock n roll.

Seeing her again after all these years is like a kick in the balls.

Over and over again.

I never understood what happened all those years ago.

I just know this girl broke my damn heart and left me feeling abandoned like no other.

Now with her front and center every day, I will get the answers I deserved all those years ago.

Josie

How do you recover when your life it torn apart?

I should be an old hand at it, with my past.

But now, I’m as close to rock bottom as I can get without crashing.

I don’t know if I can handle even one more thing going wrong.

And then I see him again.

What do you get when you run into the man that you hate more than anything?

You avoid eye contact.

That is until you can't.

Now I'm stuck working for his band while they tour the country.

Being around Angel brings back so many memories and a lot of insecurities I thought I was over, and I know I’m not going to come out intact...

I'm not sure how long this will last without one of us killing the other.

Two damaged souls, once bound by friendship and love, torn apart by deceit.

Now the bitterest of enemies, Josie and Angel are forced into daily contact. Forced to spend time together. Forced to face a painful past. But will taking a chance on their future mean saying goodbye to their past, or to each other?

We are getting so much more than a second chance romance! It is sounding like it is also falling into the enemies to lovers and forced proximity tropes. YES! Bring it on.
