TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT is Book 3 in Erika Kelly's Rock
Star Romance series. Calix Bourbon and Mimi Romano are
thrown into the same orbit because she is the chef for
the band Blue Fire and he is the temporary keyboardist.
Although there is a mutual attraction revealed very early
on, it's made very clear over the course of TAKE ME HOME
TONIGHT how very differently Mimi and Calix view the
world and their position in it. TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT is
very much a character-driven book with passionate
characters who embark on a turbulent yet highly erotic
romance.
For me, TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT is all about the characters,
and they're the stars of the story. Of the two main
characters, I'll admit that Mimi is my favorite because
she represents everything I look for in a female
protagonist—intelligence, strength, sensitivity, and
an
inability to let anybody talk down to her or patronize
her. Although she desperately wants to have the
relationship with her father she has always
envisioned, yet never actually had, she has no trouble
telling him what she wants and what she won't accept.
Likewise, when Calix tells her how he doesn't do
relationships, she accepts the limits he sets for
himself, but makes sure he understands her needs and
she won't settle for less.
Calix isn't a bad guy, but a very complicated guy with a
lot of emotional baggage and misplaced guilt that he has
never dealt with. His family is his world and his primary
motivating force. One of the things I love about the
romance between Calix and Mimi is the way that Mimi
brings some positivity and a new perspective into Calix's
life. The emotional bond that Mimi forms with the
various members of Calix's family is a delight and brings
a great deal of emotional resonance to TAKE ME HOME
TONIGHT. While the relationship between Calix and his
father is vastly different from the one between Mimi and
her father, the impact of both relationships is beyond
measure.
TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT delivers characters with soul,
ridiculously sexy love scenes, and rock star cool. Erika
Kelly balances the intricate character development,
tangled emotions, and fiery romance impeccably. For
longtime fans, TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT provides satisfying
updates on other Blue Fire supercouples Slater and Emmie,
and Derek and Violet. I look forward to reading the next
Rock Star Romance book by Erika Kelly to see what's
in
store for other favorite characters.
A rocker gets a taste of unexpected passion in the latest
red-hot Rock Star Romance from the award-winning author
of I Want You to Want Me.
Calix Bourbon might seem like a free spirit, but that’s
all a front. In reality he’s just trying to keep his
fractured family together while working as a session
musician. When Blue Fire hires him to replace their
keyboardist, Calix is determined to make the most of the
opportunity—but he can’t help being distracted by the
band’s sexy personal chef.
Mimi’s temporary gig is great, but she has her heart set
on auditioning for a televised cooking show. There’s just
one problem: she only has a week to acquire the skills
necessary to survive the competition. Luckily, the band’s
new keyboard player can teach her exactly what she needs,
in the kitchen and in the bedroom...
