ROCK REDEMPTION is book three in the Rock Kiss series
by fantastic author Nalini Singh. As with the two previous books, if you are
used to Ms. Singh's amazing paranormal romance work in her Psy-
Changeling books, or her fabulous urban fantasy Guild
Hunter books, be aware that this series has a very
different feel. It is contemporary romance and has a New Adult vibe. ROCK
REDEMPTION features a self-destructive rocker boy, the well-grounded woman
he drove away, and the requisite prior trauma of one or more characters to
provide the tension. There's even a small
mystery thrown in to spice things up further.
Noah is the main guitarist for his band, Schoolboy
Choir, whose members I have grown to know and love in
the preceding books in the series. Noah had a horrific and
prolonged childhood tragedy that has left him estranged
from his family and put him in a destructive spiral of
nightly meaningless and practically faceless sexual
encounters. He's been a complete man-whore, and there's
nothing attractive about his self-loathing behavior to me.
Hats off to Ms. Singh for her amazing work in making me
deeply invested in Noah to the point of cheering for his ultimate redemption in
the love of a good woman.
Kit is an actress about to hit the A-List in
Hollywood. Kit is a genuinely lovely person, and I adore
how Singh gives her the strength to tell Noah, "'I love you
and I will forgive you, but this is my line in the sand
that you cannot cross in your behavior." Kit's gentle
understanding and friendship provide a safe haven for Noah
to rise above his personal tragedy. While the story is
very angsty, the love that blossoms between Noah and Kit is
endearing and hopeful. ROCK REDEMPTION is a rollercoaster
of gripping emotions, and I can't wait to see where Nalini
Singh takes us next in the series.
From New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh
comes
the next contemporary romance
in the Rock Kiss series…
Kit Devigny could have loved rock guitarist Noah St. John.
Their friendship burned with the
promise of intense passion and searing tenderness…until the
night Noah deliberately shattered
her heart.
Noah knows he destroyed something precious the night he
chose to betray Kit, but he’d rather
she hate him than learn his darkest secret. All he has left
is his music. It’s his saving grace, but it
doesn’t silence the voices that keep him up at night.
Chasing oblivion through endless one-
night-stands, he earns a few hours’ sleep and his bad boy
reputation.
When a media error sees Noah and Kit dubbed the new “it”
couple, Kit discovers her chance at
the role of a lifetime hinges on riding the media wave.
Wanting—needing—to give Kit this, even if
he can’t give her everything, Noah agrees to play the
adoring boyfriend. Only the illusion is
suddenly too real, too painful, too beautiful…and it may be
too late for the redemption of Noah
St. John.
