BACKSTAGE PASS is Book 1 in Olivia Cunning's "Sinners on
Tour" series. This is a book that challenges convention.
Dr. Myrna Evans is not your typical groupie, but instead
is an intelligent woman with a career and she is a few
years older than the band she ends up traveling with.
When fate lands Myrna and rock star Brian Sinclair at the
same place at the same time, it's lust at first sight. In
addition to all the many torrid trysts and emotional
turmoil, there is also an element of danger when Myrna's
stalker ex makes an appearance.
One of the things that I really enjoyed about BACKSTAGE
PASS, is the occasional male/female role reversal in
Brian and Myrna's relationship. Even though Brian may be
the big bad rocker, it's often Myrna who calls the shots
in their relationship and puts distance between herself
and Brian. I like that Brian calls her on it without
being a jerk. Myrna is a strong and confident woman
normally, but her psycho abusive ex left her a little
commitment phobic and cautious when it comes to letting
her naturally lusty side have free reign. I love Brian's
vulnerability and fearlessness when it comes to
expressing his feelings to Myrna. Olivia Cunning does a
great job of creating a group of characters who are
flawed, but are more interesting as you get to know them
better.
Readers should know that, depending of your perspective,
there are a lot of wild sexual escapades that range from
intimate and sensual to kinky in BACKSTAGE PASS. One or
two of Brian's bandmates do participate, to different
extents, in his sexual encounters with Myrna. While I
don't normally read a lot of books with ménage scenes, I
have to say that the scenes involving Brian, Myrna, and
another member of the band are some of the sexiest and
enjoyably well-executed sex scenes in BACKSTAGE PASS.
While some of the racier sex scenes may not be every
reader's cup of tea, the characters, friendships, and
emotional connection between Myrna and Brian are worth
giving this story a try.
BACKSTAGE PASS combines rock star decadence with
relationship reality to equal a great story. Brian's
bandmates are intriguing and I look forward to learning
more about them. The relationship between Brian and his
best buddy Trey is unusual and I like the sensitivity
Olivia Cunning gave the relationship. BACKSTAGE PASS has
some humor thrown in that balances out the erotica
elements, as well as the gross bits that come along with
a group of guys being cloistered together on the road. I
look forward to the next "Sinners on Tour" book to find
out what's in store for the other Sinners.
Five stunning guys, one hot woman, and a feverish
romance...

Brian Sinclair has
been grappling with a creative block-unable to compose music
for months, until he makes love to uninhibited Myrna, and
hears exquisite guitar riffs and finger-burning solos in his
mind in the midst of their passionate embraces. He grabs a
ballpoint pen and composes what will be blockbuster new
songs, writing them all over her body and leading to all
sorts of sex play...but how is he ever going to convince her
that he wants more than just one tour?
The two
lovers' wildly shocking behavior sparks the whole band to
new heights of glory...and sin...
