 BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca

I enjoy this author’s writing style, full of profanity and descriptive sex but never feels superfluous or overdone however I did not connect with any of the couples in the three novellas as much as with Blair and West in Unexpected, despite looking forward to Sasha’s story in particular. The novella is a difficult one to get the right balance with and it all felt too short and a little rushed. I needed more, a complete, detailed story not a fast & furious quickie but a longer discovery session.

Undeniable

Joe Fox is a floater. He’s a coaster on the coffee table of life.
He rides the wave spread by the juggernaut of rock ‘n’ roll outfit, Affliction, claiming what he wants and sticking to his limits. On the outside he is the calm inside the hurricane. Underneath the surface he’s struggling against his own brewing category five.

When Affliction goes on a long awaited hiatus, he finds himself alone in more ways than one. What’s a man to do when he’s got plenty to forget and all the time in the world to do it in?
Crash into someone beautiful and wild, that’s what.

Someone so wild that they might be able to calm the storm within and awaken something undeniable…

Joe and Jake are best friends who grew up together. With Jake having found Blair, Joe wants that same elusive thing, the connection that completes you. Joe has more privacy and freedom than Blair as he’s not the front man and so when flying back to Australia takes a normal flight with no fuss or fanfare where he meets Alexis. Both are instantly attracted and so follows a delightfully dirty and decadent tryst for 24 hours on an unplanned stopover in Hong Kong. Alexis is an author who writes erotic romance and she researched plenty with Joe, discovering it’s not all imagination but that her words can be reality.

“He reached out and grasped my face, making me look him in the eye and it almost sent me into overdrive. Yeah, I felt it. My nipples tingled, my pussy was convulsing, thighs were clenching, breath was coming fast…all the things I wrote about were leaping off the pages and into the here and now. “I want you and I know you want me, too. It’s not about being cheap or easy.” “You want me?” “Every which way from Sunday.” He’d hardly touched me and shit, he hadn’t even kissed me, and already I was imagining myself underneath him, on top of him…every which way from Sunday.”

Joe lets her walk away at the airport with no contact details and regrets it immediately. He decides he will find her when fate throws her back in his path, however Alexis is dealing with guilt and grief so has closed herself off to relationships due to a tragic event.

“Jake had his wildcat and I had my storm. She was the storm swirling in the opposite direction to mine. Together, we cancelled each other out. Together, there was no storm. I just had to get her to see it.”

This couple complement each other perfectly and Joe fights for what he wants. I loved their banter and the sex was HOT but I was thoroughly enjoying the story and then Wham Bam finished, rushed and nowhere near as good as the lead up.
However, I love her writing style as I’ve said and highlighted sections all through the book.

“It was like a drawer full of spoons when all I needed was a knife. Alexis was the f**king knife…”

“Fuck. He thought my mouth was sweet? I just stared at him like Bambi in the middle of a highway about to be splattered by a long haul truck.”

Unbearable

Sasha Montgomery has everything she ever wanted.
She’s managing one of the hottest rock bands of the moment, gets paid to travel the world, hangs around hot musicians all day…
She’s got everything she ever dreamed of…except Mick Savage.

Mick is the lead guitarist from bad boy rock ‘n’ roll outfit Affliction, and she’s got one hell of a crush on him.
For three and a half years Sasha has watched him look at everyone but her. Miserable and shy, the only thing she has to turn to is her work. It was fine when she was just the stage manager – she could deal with that. Now she’s the manager and has to deal with him on a daily basis. Face-to-face. As if her heart couldn’t get any more broken.
Mick hasn’t looked at her twice. He hasn’t spoken to her outside of band business. He hasn’t seen her as anything but Affliction’s manager. Watching him from the side-lines is unbearable, but when he finally realises what her feelings are…everything is going to change.

And it might just be for the worse.

This was my most anticipated of the three yet the one I least liked in the end. Sasha is fabulous but Mick is a prick (yeah I know I’m rhyming!) and needs to be shot. I really dislike the fact he hasn’t noticed her in three and a half years, that’s on me and personal preference but I’d like to think if he’s the one he would feel some type of connection or attraction not that she was invisible. Some will argue that she says;

“To live my dream, I had to sacrifice my heart.”

So that makes it all ok, but it didn’t work for me.

Sasha is feisty and sassy so she’s a good match for him but by the time he does finally does SEE her she runs from him and the chase begins. He gets the girl and the HEA but I was not connected to him as a character, although I adored Sasha.

Unstoppable

Rob Hancock was never the saviour type.
When he saves Lilly Hunter from a nasty situation, he’s about to get more than he bargained for. Now he’s her saviour and will do whatever it takes to make her safe.
And when push comes to shove, he’ll be Unstoppable in his desire to deliver her from her demons.

He’s been such a background figure up to now that I was surprised how much I liked Rob and just how perfect Lilly is for him. Whilst they meet in an awful situation, they are drawn immediately to each other and this was a beautiful one to end the series with. Lilly and Rob have a rocky road and while Rob may not see himself as her saviour he is, but in return Lilly feeds his heart and soul. She cares for him and loves him warts and all, he’s broken and she’s his glue, giving him a sense of worth and belonging. A sweet story with really hot sex and an edge to it that Amity Cross does well.

“I’d never had a friend before, the kind of friend that listened and didn’t judge. The kind of friend that you see in movies and read about in books…I thought those were all made up. There couldn’t be people like that in the world, right? Humanity sucked dick, so why would someone be nice to me just because they thought I was decent? That shit was an urban myth.”

So in conclusion my only complaint apart from ‘Mick the Prick’ is the length of these. I felt a longer story, especially on the first two, would make them as good as Unexpected but it’s a good series and I like the author so will continue to read her.

 

Amity Cross isn’t her real name. That’s no secret.

She is the author of wicked stories about rock stars looking for redemption, gritty romances featuring MMA fighters and dark tales of forbidden romance. She loves to write about screwed up relationships and kick ass female leads that don’t take s**t lying down.

Amity lives in a leafy country town in southern Australia and can be found chained to her desk, held at ransom by her characters. Don’t send help. She likes it.
