ROCK ME TWO TIMES is Book 1 in Dawn Ryder's Rock Band series. Leather designer Kate Napier's good intentions about not getting involved with a client -- especially of the rock star variety -- go up in flames when she meets Syon Braden. Both Kate and Syon are entranced by each other when they first lock eyes. When Syon orchestrates Kate's going on tour with his band Toxsin, under the guise of providing instant wardrobe assistance, the fireworks begin.

Dawn Ryder creates a kaleidoscope of rocker-themed sensual fantasy. Kate is a tough yet feminine modern woman, but she loses control and gets knocked off center around Syon. The realistically flawed characters in ROCK ME TWO TIMES add depth to the story. There is a magical chemistry between Kate and Syon, even as they fight their feelings, and occasionally each other. Dawn Ryder does a great job of detailing the decadence that is a big part of the rock-and-roll lifestyle. While reading ROCK ME TWO TIMES, it is easy to see how seductive Syon and his bandmates are and why Kate struggles to remain true to herself.

There are a multitude of obstacles to Kate and Syon's relationship in ROCK ME TWO TIMES. Kate is forced to navigate around Toxsin's manager who doesn't think a steady relationship is good for business. However, some of the conflict just comes from insecurities and trust issues that Kate and Syon both have. In spite of the drama, ROCK ME TWO TIMES has some lighter moments in addition to the smoking hot romance. The fascinating dynamic between band members plays a big part in ROCK ME TWO TIMES. The family-like relationship that the band members have, coupled with their very different personalities, adds texture to the story.

ROCK ME TWO TIMES is an energetic and deeply erotic romance. I enjoyed the epilogue that ties up loose ends and puts a delightful cap on the story. After reading ROCK ME TWO TIMES, I became invested in the other band members and can't wait to hear their stories. I look forward to the next Rock Band romance by Dawn Ryder.
