Goodreads Summary:
For the last four
years, good girl Lane has regretted breaking up with Noel Falcon. She thought
she was sensible when she told him his dreams of being a rock star would get
him nowhere, but now that he's a rock god and her career is stagnant, she
realizes just how wrong she was. When Noel hires the marketing company where
Lane is an intern, she’s forced to see him again. If she wants to land her
dream job as executive within the company, she has to win him over and secure
his account. Too bad Noel is still pissed at her for breaking his heart.
When Lane’s company
flies her to a Black Falcon concert to gain Noel’s attention, emotions run high
the moment she sees him and realizes she’s far from over him. But Noel’s
countless trysts with groupies and his cocky attitude make Lane believe he
isn’t the same guy she once loved—now he seems to only want her body. Then
after Lane discloses she needs him to procure a job, Noel proves he’s a changed
man by forcing her to go on the road with him in order to get it.
After Lane reluctantly
takes Noel up on his offer, she becomes willing to do whatever it takes to keep
him satisfied, even if it means succumbing to his seductive ways. Lane soon
finds deception is a dangerous game and she’s not the only one playing.
My Thoughts:
I am a huge
pushover for a hot and sexy rocker and Rock the Heart sucked me in with
Noel!
This book is
written from Lanie’s point of view. I
wish I could have gotten more of Noel’s inner thoughts about what was going
on! I kept saying—I wonder what he’s
thinking! The character development was
done well, although I wish I knew more from Lanie and Noel’s high school days.
(Maybe a pre-to Rock of Heart?? Hmmm…) I
think knowing more about their pasts would have helped me with a deeper
connection with them.
The
storyline was a bit predictable while reading, except for the shock towards the
end! I gasped and yelled at my
Kindle! That was a twist I didn’t see
coming.
I loved the
sexy, smoking hot, sex-god and vulnerable Noel!
I could hear is growling, yummy voice singing! Even though, he is a rock god on stage, he
has these vulnerable parts to him that are crushing! I felt for him. His past with his parents was hard and I wish
I could have gotten a little more back story to the situation or some
closure. It seems to be just hanging out
there unanswered.
Lanie—there were
parts where I wanted to slap her—mostly due to her reluctance to be with Noel
initially! Then about her job…really??? I get your career oriented, but come on!!!
There were
lots of secondary characters that we were introduced to and I want to know more
about them! Riff—I know there is so much more to him! He may be a womanizer, but it’s his way of
dealing with pain. The Twins---T&T I
call them! I know there is some secret
stuff going on with those two. Maybe
they are into manage or something. Hmmmm… Then STRIKER!
I know that he isn’t in The Black Falcon’s, but damn do I want to know
more about this smooth talking British man!
Overall, a
good debut book for Michelle. If you
have a love for rockers, this is for you!!
