The Vagabonds Trilogy: The Complete Series (Rockstar Romance Box Set) by [Jamison, Jade C.]

You know me as rock goddess Kyle Summers. But you don’t know me. Not really.

For instance, you probably don’t know that playing the guitar is all I ever wanted to do with my life. And I’m sure you don’t know that I used to be boy crazy.

Till him. Till I met rock star CJ Slavin. I knew from the moment I met him that he completes me, that we belong together…that, in his shadow, no other man will ever do.

So why have we never been able to make it work? Why can we never fully commit to one another?

Can we find a way to be together or am I destined to be alone?

What reviewers have said about the trilogy:

“This author does it right. She doesn’t just throw the rockstar title around. Nope, she gives her readers what they crave. You can go in knowing you’re gonna get the whole experience. The music that flows through the veins of the born-to-rock characters. The song lyrics that speak to you because you recognize the emotion they were written with. The passion of a music lover that flows through the pages of your kindle and reaches you as the story unfolds. The excitement of being there when the magic happens.” Rosa Sharon, iScream Books

“It was with the release of this series that Jade was dubbed ‘the Queen of Rock Romance,’ and there is no mistaking that it is a title that fits.” MaryLou, PagePrincess

“Omg the Queen of Rock truly outdid herself with this book.” Angie J, Twinsie Talk Book Blog

“Wow…and YES!!! If the Nicki Sosebee series and the Bullet boys had a baby, I think this would be the result. I have always been a huge fan of Jamison’s work, whether she wrote about a naughty, sexy reporter and her bedroom antics or about a hot young rock band with a lot of angst and serious problems.” Sue Banner

Goodreads

On the Run, Book 1 –

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

AHHHH This book is amazing. Ok yeah I know you won’t just one-click it based off that statement but trust me it’s a great read. One of the things I love about this books is the angst and the Young Adult feel of it…trust me it’s not a YA novel but the books starts with the girls in high school, dealing with the drama and life of being a teen. Kyle is a bit of an outsider but after a school talent show she gets some attention from high school jock Decker. Now Decker is a good guy BUT he is not THE ONE. He is the typical jock who wants his woman to be in the stands when he plays ball. However, Kyle has dreams to be a rocker and that means not sitting in the stands watching her boyfriend. Kyle gets a once in a lifetime chance to be in a band and she jumps. We meet the girls and either love them (Vicki) or hate them (Barbie). We get to meet the producer and do not like him at all but he does what needs to be done to get these girls ready.
Seige/CJ/Chuck..holy hotness…yes ladies he is “the one” for our Kyle. He makes butter melt what it’s in the freezer with his seduction. We see stubborn Kyle not happy that she can’t have him but we are so excited to see what is in store for them in one more summer….eeep…..

Ky’s life is shaped by her up growing. Her parents are hippies but suddenly grow roots for her. Their happy go lucky family life is destroyed by one parents action and then by the other ones rebound actions. This heart break will shape our young character and force her to harden her heart allowing her to make assumptions when she shouldn’t. Her parents dysfunctional relationship will be a bad role modeling that Ky will assume all relationships will be like especially after everything with Decker and even Seige.

The books doesn’t leave us with a cliff hanger but definitely a need to read book 2 when it releases as the girl just released a single and are beginning a tour!!! Their dreams are just starting to be realized and their journey is just starting.

On the Road, Book 2-

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

This book is a bit “darker” then our last book. The girls are growing up on the road. They are experiencing all the “fun” that rockers get to partake in while on tour….sex, drugs and rock and roll. The beginning of the book is bit slower initially. We are in Kyle’s head while she is dealing with the first tour issues, Vicki’s drug addiction, Creepy management, Barbie’s mouth, Her “non-relationship” with CJ and much more. When Kyle gets her first break she is happy to be home. After a convo with CJ she decides if she can’t be with the one she wants, she will love the one she’s with. The girls all begin to spiral a bit more and more outta control….Sex, drugs and Rock n Roll is actually causing more and more troubles for our girls.

When the tour ends and we get to meet up with CJ for her birthday celebration, YUM!!! But as usual CJ and his truthful nature leaves us and Kyle feeling broken. The girls begin a second and third tour this book. The whole time they are falling more and more apart. We are seeing the disagreements and discord between the ladies. We are also seeing more and more from CJ and falling more and more in love with him but gets more broken hearted over his truthful nature with us.

The end of the book we are pretty much feeling exactly like Kyle is about the band. After a talk with our best friend CJ, Kyle decide that maybe his advice is what we should follow. The end of the book leaves us all on pins and needles. I can’t wait to see what happens. My heart was broken over Kyle and Liz’s friendship. I loved her and felt she was a great person for Kyle to bounce ideas off of.

On the Rocks, Book 3 –

I receive this book from the amazingly talented author for an honest review.

O.M.G. Hands down my favorite of the series. This book is everything you want and expect from Jade. There is turmoil, twists, sex, drama, and love!! The love is an Epic, soul shattering love that stands the test of time and situations for our two characters….Kyle and CJ.

This series has given me A LOT of twists and turns not to mention upset belly aches but this book beats them all hands down. I mean GAPS when Kyle………SPOILER…………………right…can you believe it? HAHA yeah so not gonna tell ya what Kyle does SEVERAL times to push CJ away because apparently the two of them don’t know what the word communication means!!!

This book we see our Kyle grown and mature in her music but her love life is still a HOT mess. She goes on tour with Jet and his band which throws her life into a tail spin of craziness. She has to deal with the fall out of the decisions she makes while wondering about CJ and her. She is dealing with the green eyed monster of jealousy from Liz’s rise to fame plus dealing with moving forward while leaving others behind.

This book our girl really sprouts and finds herself but also loses herself when it comes to CJ. The love that WE the readers see but they can’t see made me wanna throat punch them both SEVERAL times. I will say that there was a scene where I actually SWOONED over CJ like hard core. All I gotta say is when a drunk man walks miles to get to you…Sigh…..you better listen and listen up good!!!?

This book sets up soo nicely for the next installment of the Feverish series. All I gotta say is DIBS ON BRIAN!!!! Right Jade? Please? Just don’t tell Daddy Brad.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging than Dirty Dancing, she–like Baby–won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance–and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?
