Most rock stars would be revolted if a homeless woman fainted in their arms. Dante Deity is not most rock stars.
THE ROMANCE WRITER
Shayna Gray is fleeing her past. Tragedy, infidelity, heartbreak: the midlist romance author has suffered it all. She was strong enough to run, like a spunky heroine from one of her novels, and soon she’ll be flying…just as soon as she can walk again. After walking from Portland to Sacramento, Shayna wakes up in the hospital with famous rock star, Dante Deity offering to take her to his mansion to recuperate. Unlike her abusive ex-husband or her bullying mother, Dante is determined she succeed. As he helps her recover from her grief and get her writing back, a romance worthy of her novels blooms. But Shayna knows that they can’t have a healthy loving relationship until she learns to stand on her own.
AND THE ROCK GOD
Dante Deity is revered by everyone who knows anything about heavy metal music, and he’s respected by everyone else. Rich, handsome, and successful, he has a voice like velvet-wrapped lightning. He juggles numerous philanthropic ventures while cranking out hits. When he’s on tour, music is his life. When he’s taking a break, he’s thinking about his next tour—or working on a project that helps him forget he’s alone. When an unconscious woman falls into his arms, Dante embarks on the biggest project of his life. Saving a damsel in distress quickly becomes a secondary mission when he realizes that his heart is on the line.
Miranda's review of Rock God, the first of Brooklyn Ann's Hearts Of Metal (HOM) series I have now read, is spot on in its praise for both the writer and her characters.
Rock God was the first modern romance novel I ever bought, being someone who rarely read novels or fiction.
I'm a newspaper journalist who has also worked on music magazines, including a specialist heavy metal/hard rock one, and discovered the Brooklyn Ann books by a fluke while searching for music biographies to buy as presents.
Only pages into Rock God I ordered the other books in the series, as I was so impressed with its accurate portrayal of the music industry - as well as being completely hooked on the Dante and Shayna characters!
It is so refreshing that the writer portrays their relationship - despite his wealth and fame and her seeming anonymity and poverty - as being that of equals, two adults dealing with past heartbreak in different ways and slowly finding fulfillment and happiness together.
Loved the wry humour and role reversals throughout too!
These books, whose characters are interlinked, are as sweet and addictive as chocolate - but without the calories. Be warned though: you'll crave more than one! (Jodi Adams 9:06am January 5, 2017)
