Naomi has been surviving but not living. Even with her best friend’s marriage looming in the distance, she’s managed to maintain a tenuous grip.
The bottle helps with that.
But when she loses her job, she worries that she’ll never get out of the godforsaken town she’s been trapped in her whole life.
Although she finds salvation in a temporary position as Sage’s drum tech for the first part of Shock Treatment’s upcoming tour, she hadn’t counted on Sage being intrigued.
Or becoming mutually attracted.
Besides, it would never work. Because if he were to see the real her, if he were to discover all that’s under the ink covering her flesh, he would never want her.
Fortunately, Naomi excels at pushing people away…
Content Warning: This book deals with sensitive subjects including sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.
Jade is one of the queens for rocker books IMO. I love the fact she really knows the “life” of how a rocker lives on tour. She knows the gritty truth of road life and all its unglorious features. I think she reads lots of rock autobiographies in her spare time. She, herself, is a rock chick to the bone so it makes sense why her books are so genuine.
Sage and Naomi are two peas from a different pod. They both have been through trauma. Granted I think we all would agree hers was worse none the less, trauma is trauma. When Sage’s bestie aka toxic buddy dies, he is given a new drum tech. Enter Naomi. She just wants to get the hell out of town. She looks at this as a chance to see the world. Her travels will help her pick where she will run too when she can.
Sage and Naomi meet and have a polite working relationship. The more time the spend Sage sees Naomi…. like sees her sees her. Naomi is enjoying the time she is with Sage but it’s scaring the hell out of her. No one can love her. She is too broken.
When work issues causes an problems for Naomi, she starts to spiral backwards. Sage is the best dude EVAH in that he helps her as much as he can knowing he is losing his heart and the battle for her heart.
I seriously cannot stress how much I love Sage. He was the best guy and does all he can for Naomi but ultimately, she has to want it for herself.
I loved loved loved Ginny and Walker. I loved the scene at their wedding for Naomi. She gets a lot off her chest. The wedding was such a pivotal time for Naomi. Sage and Naomi kind of reminded me of the battles Ethan/Val had in Bullet expect this time the rolls were reverse in who was the care taker and who was the not so great person in the relationship.
The last chapter…sigh…perfection to a T.

When Brian and Sophie meet, there’s spontaneous combustion.
Too bad they hate each other.
Fashion model Sophia Buckley has despised Brian Zimmer from the first time she heard him speak…and so, without even getting to know him, she plots revenge, executing her plan perfectly. Playing a groupie, she engages Brian in a steamy encounter, only to leave him high and dry.
Brian figures she’s simply the mayor of Crazy Town, vowing to forget the experience and move on.
Except she won’t let him because she keeps turning up in his life.
Despite Brian’s protests, the band’s manager forces Last Five Seconds to engage with this woman because she has an innate talent for stirring up drama. Throw in the paparazzi, and both she and the band get some much-needed publicity.
Forced together, Brian and Sophie find their feelings for one another growing.
But it would never work. They are oil and water, not yin and yang.
So why do they keep ending up in each other’s life? In each other’s bed?
When Sophie cuts Brian to the quick in a very public way, he finds the fuel to walk away for good. But will he really be able to stay away?
Received a copy of this book for an honest review.
So excited to see Last Five Seconds. I so missed these guys, really Jet/Clay is still my favorite and loved seeing him. This one is about Brian Zimmer and a model Sophia. Talk about taking a roller coaster ride with these two.
Sophia was on a mission to teach Brian a lesson. Brian and Sophia did not get along but his manager makes it so she is seen with him to increase the bands publicity. These two did not get along at all but they keep getting tossed together. They soon realize that Brian’s manager could be right and any press good or bad could be good for both of their carriers.
Once these two started spending time together the fireworks starting filling the sky. Man does Brian know how to bring on the heat. I enjoyed this story and love all these guys. It took me a bit to warm up to Sophia but she really shined by the end. I loved the little teaser at the end now I’m so excited for the next book.
A favorite quote:
Brian knew he’d just scored major points here. Maybe now they could move past their distrust and anger. If nothing else, at least he knew one part of her loved him – and that one part she had little control over. Brian’s job now would be to win her entire heart.
Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
Brian!! I fell in crazy love with you in this series. When you got married to Kyle in The Vagabond series. I was a little sad because she was not the right person for you. Don’t get me wrong..we loved her but not with you. I was a smidge worried about you but was so excited you finally got your HEA.
When I opened the book and read the first chapter I was hooked. I mean turning hate to love is a tough road and after the way Sophia treated him….I was loving it. Sorry Brian but I was. She GOT YOU DUDE!!
Brian and Sophia meet up again and sparks FLY. Seems they are so compatible they combust at each turn. Even when they want to apologize, they end up fighting. The couple soon realize negative press is good for business. With the guy’s album sales sluggish and reviews not being so kind plus Sophia realizes that this is great for booking gigs…they continue the ruse. However, the ruse soon blows up in their faces when there are soon hiding real feelings.
I love Brian like I said before and getting to know more about “him” and why he is the jokester and funny guy made me love him even more. Sophia is like any struggling model and soon she realizes that maybe she wants more out of life then just being a pretty face. Law isn’t her passion but what she wants she doesn’t know but she needs Brian by her side to complete her life.
I enjoyed the story plus seeing all the other couples but reading the chapter for the next book had my heart all kinds of excited for what is to come!!!

Do you love rock star romance?
Bad boy rock star gods?
The women who complete them?
Oh, and do you like your stories steamier than a sauna?
Then dig into this box set containing four full-length rock star romance novels and discover why Jade’s readers call her the “Queen of Rockstar Romance.”
Bullet
Valerie is a naïve college freshman when she meets on-the-rise rock star Ethan, an idealistic, handsome, reckless young man who’s captured her heart. She doesn’t give up on him and eventually his walls crumble down. By the time Valerie has given herself to him completely, she discovers he’s damaged and may be beyond help. Can she save Ethan and their relationship before he implodes, or will he self-destruct and take her with him?
Everything But
High school English teacher Erin is stuck with the unwelcome job of filling in for the injured cheerleading coach, but she wants to back out when she discovers she has to be auctioned as a date during the annual spring fundraiser. She’s horrified to find her rock star crush Riley Schultz, former frontman of Spawn, will be playing emcee for the event, but she’s even more shocked that he also happens to be the highest bidder for her affections, and sparks ignite when she discovers that maybe their attraction is mutual…
On the Run
They say things come in threes…like sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Love is not part of that equation—but tell that to my heart.
From the first moment I met CJ Slavin, I fell for him hard. It was as if everything else in my world muted: the album my band was about to release, the coast-to-coast tour we were preparing for, all the adoring fans who were going to eat us up. Even the drama and bullsh*t from my bandmates couldn’t bring me down when CJ was around.
But he tells me I’m too young. And we’re going to be thousands of miles apart. Add to it, his adoring fans will drop to their knees for him.
So what’s a girl to do? At least I still have sex, drugs, and rock & roll…
Love and Lies
Casey never wanted to get divorced—and she definitely didn’t plan to go home again. But she needed a place to lick her wounds, so she headed back to her hometown, the one place on earth she swore she’d never return to. Spending time with her hypercritical mother spurs Casey to find a job quickly so she can get back on her feet—and that’s where she meets sexy Scott Wardell, a man who makes her heart beat faster even while stirring her anger.
As she gets to know Scott better, she discovers that he plays drums for a local rock band. He seems perfect for her…except maybe he hasn’t told her everything about the ex. And his creepy best friend isn’t doing him any favors, either. But even if Casey could handle those problems, she’s got her own ex and cold feet she needs to grapple with…
This box set also includes two bonus novellas: NO PLACE LIKE HOME from the Bullet series and BEATING HEARTS from the Vagabonds series.
No Place Like Home
Brad of metal band Fully Automatic has recently lost his mother to cancer and he finds himself unable to enjoy life anymore. With the help of his wife Val and his children, can he find his former zeal for living or is he destined to be numb and detached for the remainder of his days?
Beating Hearts
Brandon, an inexperienced young drummer for Kyle Summers’ band, is about to play his first festival, but first he needs to find out who’s stalking him. When he does, things just might get too hot to handle…
“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.” – Rosa, iScream Books, review for ON THE RUN
Are you READY? Which rock star god will you fall hardest for?

Every woman should have a best friend…with benefits.
Elizabeth is a college professor by day, steamy romance writer by night. There’s just one problem: she has a hell of a time penning her steamiest scenes without a little help from Ridley, a guy she calls her “pretend boyfriend.” When her imagination falters, Ridley gives her plenty to fuel her imagination. But when she catches him playing around on her, she boots him to the curb.
And then she can’t write at all.
Enter her colleague and good friend Roman. While indulging herself in a liquor-fueled pity party she confesses her secret to Roman—and he volunteers to play the part of Ridley while she figures things out.
She doesn’t dare…does she? Won’t that make things at work awkward as hell? But her writing is languishing, suffering a slow, agonizing death.
Will she take Roman up on his offer or keep a safe distance and go it alone?
Curl up by the fire with a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate and settle into Winchester, Colorado—where the nights are cold…but steamy!
Portions of this novel were previously published in 2014 as the book Substitute Boyfriend.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Ok so if you are a regular person to my reviews, you know I loooove Jade right??!! Well I totally do. I was super lucky to meet this woman and when she asked me to beta read this, I might have squee’d and lost my “cool” a bit….LOL but wouldn’t you have????? HELLO she is a FAVORITE author of mine!!!!
This book is a funny, hawt and quick book. I picked it up and read it in a couple of hours. This book is about Beth. She is a part time professor who is also a published erotica author….hrmmm, sounds like Jade???? Anyway, Beth keeps her little erotica author secret until she meets Ridley. He then becomes her “inspiration” for her sex scenes. Ridley is the perfect alpha bad boy covered in tats that Beth loves. Problem is, Ridley doesn’t really like being on “call” plus he is kiiiinda a DB. …well he is……..Beth is trying to make a relationship outta this booty call but soon realizes he is NOT a relationship guy….growl…you will understand why I called him a DB when you read the book…….SMH…………..
A drunken night Beth calls her bestie, co-professor at the college and during a drunken mistake tells him all her secrets…even Ridley and the erotica author part. So Roman does what any friend does, he offers to be her new booty call. He offers to be her substitute boyfriend since Ridley was her pretend boyfriend…….Well friends lemme tell ya…Roman has a few secrets of his own and Beth gets really confused. Roman is her BEST FRIEND but, but, but…………..Well Beth gets freaked out and then Ridley comes running back when he realizes his booty call is gone……What is a girl to do????
All I gotta say is I will never look at Rum the same way…….ANND that Jade, as to be expected, makes ever sexy scene amazing and hot!!
I received this book by the Author for an honest review.
Beth aka Lizzie is an English professor who is a published author of erotic romance novels. Only one problem she needs to act out the sex scenes to make sure they are doable and believable. She finds a pretend boyfriend in the HOT bad boy Ridley who is available to her at a moment’s notice to ‘act out’ these scenes. Until the one night he turns her down to be with someone else.
Beth calls on her best friend and colleague Roman to talk and have a few drinks. She spills the beans about her being a published author and what Ridley was helping her with. So Roman being the great guy he is offered to be the substitute boyfriend. Can I say I will never think of coconut rum the same and he has a way of making sex anywhere HOT even a men’s bathroom.
This was a great short story. I so wish it was longer. I wanted to know more about Ridley and find out more about Beth’s family. Maybe even a few more steamy scenes too, although this was filled with them. I loved that you could feel the conflict between Beth when confronted with who she wanted Ridley or Roman. Oh you want to know if she picked the Hot bad boy, Ridley, or the substitute boyfriend, Roman, hahah guess you’ll have to pick up your copy and find out. You will not be disappointed. For a short story it is packed with goodness.
It was an honor to beta read this for Jade Jamison and I was so excited when she asked if I would. Thank you for allowing me the honor of Beta reading for you.

Kill or Die
Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.
In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says he doesn’t even remember her. Or does he?
Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demons…and even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will her heart?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.OMG! I. AM. BLOWN. AWAY by this book.
I am a big Jade fan but this book is soooo different from anything I have read of hers. I have pretty much read all the books in her library but like 4 so to say I know her writing style wouldn’t be a lie. The anxiety and tension of this book totally sneaks up on you and then BOOM you are a stressed out MESS!! This book is VERY slow but it’s very purposeful in its pace. We, the reader, are in Nina’s mind. We ARE Nina. We get to see her reasons for why she does things and why she feels the way she does. She is a very broken woman because life hasn’t always been easy and she kinda has some “what if’s” playing in her head…..alll those what ifs are about our yummy Mr. Savage……..
Nina and her neighbors end up almost running over Nina’s biggest life regret, Kevin, when trying to get to help Nina’s elderly aunt. The story is the 4 of them making due in a survival situation during the worst possible time to be in the Colorado Mountains. Yes they are homebound essentially and dealing with a few “biters” but the story is not really about the virus but the people. The story is about what people will and won’t do to survive. How people can change to go with the new world or how they break and go a little insane with the new world. I totally think that the characters in this book are actual representations of what can happen if this situation were to arise. The best of couples can fall apart and strangers can become your ally and trusted companion.
Now to all of you “I am not gonna read it because it has zombies in it”…get over it. Zombies are a minimal part of the story. PEOPLE and SURVIVAL are the point of this story. I can tell you I was messaging Jade completely freaking out at parts and then bawling at parts of the story. This book was a book I was eagerly waiting to read. I will not deny it but to say it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be isn’t a lie. I expected a different kind of a book…more action and fighting but what I got was an amazing look into the souls of people. The heart of what makes us a society of good or not good people. I feel that this book is showcasing a whole new level for Jade’s writing abilities. She can write some hot and naughty rockers we all have no doubt but this book and its main character, Nina, is just so deep and inspiring. It really knocked my socks off…..
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of 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?
Jade C. Jamison…I’ve been writing most of my life but published my first book in 2011. I have four children all adults now (!!!) and live in Colorado. So happy that Angie and I met each other thanks to the world of books!
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
Hmm. For me, it’s individual books that are more difficult, and it all depends on that specific book. For example, Bullet (#1) was relatively easy to write; Rock Bottom (#2) was like pulling teeth; Feverish (#3) was easier than the other two. For me, it’s the book itself, the plot, and the characters rather than where a book falls in the series.
What comes first? The plot or characters
Again for me it depends on the book. In the case of the Nicki Sosebee series, it was the characters. Most of the time, I think it’s the characters. But with a book like In a Haze, it was the plot first.
What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?
I would have loved to have met Toni Morrison.
If you could ask that author three questions about their writing, writing process, or books, what would they be?
I would love to talk to her in depth about her process.
Dane, Last Five Seconds’ drummer, is the “quiet” one. It’s not just because his bandmates are boisterous and love sucking up the limelight.
It’s part of who he is, where he comes from. But he’s determined to break free from the chains of his past.
When it catches up to him, his comfortable world shatters, leaving him with an injured back and an inability to perform his work onstage. To get back on the road as soon as possible, he undergoes physical therapy to aid with his recovery.
Enter Charlie. As his physical therapist, she’s a hell of a caregiver, but she’s also feisty. Sometimes she’s abrupt. And snappy. And downright rude. And, like Dane, she’s got a few hidden scars.
But Dane sees something inside her, something that speaks to him. Although Charlie holds him at arm’s length, even after he’s no longer her patient, Dane is finally able to penetrate her armor. While his scars have never fully healed, hers go even deeper.
As they work through their pasts together, Dane is convinced it will make them stronger, but can they ever move beyond their insecurities and hang ups enough to trust each other…or are they destined to be alone?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
STAHP!!! They are back!! The LFS guys are back!!!! I am so excited. Its been FOREVAH since we got to see the guys…..Clay and Emily are good. Sam and Grace are planning the wedding. Brian is dealing with his divorce and then there is quiet Dane. Dane has always been a little on the quiet side and this book we get to know him and why he is so “shy”.
Childhood bullies leave a mark on our sweet Dane. After reconnecting with one he gets a bit stupid and overly drunk which causes him to hurt his back. Off to Physical Therapy he goes. Except falling for his therapist isn’t what he should be doing.
Charlie is a mess. This girl lives with scars and trauma that no one should be able to recover from and yet here she is rocking her façade of a happy life. She feels some ways about Dane but pushes and pushes and pushes him away.
When Dane kinda stalkery but not really stalkery but yet stalkery finds her and asks her out they seem to click. Both, however, have crazy low confidence and read the wrong vibe the other throws out at times which makes things hella mess. I’m telling ya they are the perfect match for the other but they kinda step on their own toes at times.
Charlie is petrified of love but Dane’s light just crumbles her walls. Dane is so in love with Charlie and yet he reads things she does the wrong way which makes him feel less than. Gah, these two!! Seriously they have all the chemistry and all the love but also all the fear when you go all in with someone.
I loved the story and seriously this makes me want to do a reread to remember the awesome story of Clay and Sam but then I gotta go back to Brad/Val/Ethan since that is where we met this ban of awesomeness!!
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
I so thrilled to have Last Five Seconds back. I mean really, I get to see Clay/Jet again *sigh*. Ok I know let’s get back to Dane. Dane is our quite shy drummer.
Dane is dealing with demons from his childhood when he falls off the stage at a concert. He has to have therapy where he meets Charlie. Charlie has no idea who Dane is and Dane is intrigued by her. Once Dane is back on his feet, he seeks out Charlie. Dane had a bit of stalker in him for this…lol.
Charlie has her own issues she is dealing with. While Dane is pursuing Charlie, she has to decide if he is worth chipping away at the wall she built to protect herself.
I loved Dane but Charlie took a bit to get used to. These two had chemistry but man it took a while for them to get it together. I so enjoyed watching Dane and Charlies story evolve. I also realized how much I missed my man Jet.

Zombie Queen –
The beginning…
The beginning is always the best place to start when reflecting on what has been.
Thinking back on it, my life had been perfect.
Middle class girl in high school with a happy home life.
My life had been full of nothing but promise.
Life was good.
Everything was great.
And then my whole world went to shit. In one day.
The disease came first.
Then the dead.
It was a fight for my life every single day from the start. But I was different from all the rest.
I had heard my mother’s screams while watching my sister become one with the undead. All the while feeling like there was absolutely nothing I could do to help them.
It killed me.
What’s more, it changed me.
I did everything I possibly could to survive on my own.
And then I learned how to survive with others.
By being their Queen.
Their Zombie Queen.
And by being the most feared woman they ever came in contact with.

If that isn’t enough to ruin his life, a plague unleashes utter destruction on humanity. He knows he has what it takes to protect those who survive even if they don’t like his rules.

Sterling New Year Book 1 by Cheryl Dragon
From Book 1: Melody’s stuck in Sterling, Alaska over the holidays, sewing custom dresses for her friend’s wedding. She’ll do anything for her friends and is determined to be the best maid of honor she can be. There are just a few very sexy distractions.
Dale, Jason, and Ryan are lovers with an eye out for the right woman to complete their family. They’re happy to let Melody use space to make the dresses, but Dale especially doesn’t expect the perfect woman for them to show up in their small town. How are they going to explain Sterling’s unusual relationships? Even so, the trio is definitely interested in more than simply helping out with the wedding but can they win Melody over?
Melody has never been anywhere like Sterling—where group relationships are a tradition. She can’t pass up the experience of three hot men in bed but rearranging her life for them, or any man, is a ridiculous idea. Normal marriages don’t last and she’s had repeat wedding dress clients to prove it. What the quad has is more than sex but they have a lot of baggage to sort through for her to make it a Sterling New Year.
Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.

On the Run book 1, Jade Jamison –
From Book 1: They say things come in threes…like sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
Love is not part of that equation.
But tell that to my heart.
From the first moment I met CJ Slavin, I fell for him hard. It was as if everything else in my world muted: the album my band was about to release, the coast-to-coast tour we were preparing for, all the adoring fans who were going to eat us up. Even the drama and bullsh*t from my bandmates couldn’t bring me down when CJ was around.

Now if she could just remember how it all happened.
One thing is certain, being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.
