Come Undone (Rock Hard, #1)

by Madelynne Ellis

On stage he’s dynamite. Off stage he rocks her world.

From Madelynne Ellis, author of best selling Mischief books `Anything but Vanilla’ and `Her Husband’s Lover’, `Come Undone’ is a passionate, sexy romance that will leave you breathless.

When red-hot, Goth-metal band, Black Halo, split live on stage, fate throws Daniella Fosbrook into the path of sexy vocalist Xane Geist. Initially, Xane’s only looking for a ride home, but Dani tempts him in a way a thousand other women haven’t. Determined to explore their heady chemistry and avoid hashing things out with the band, Xane whisks Dani off to Monaco for a steamy weekend.

There, Dani tries her best to hang onto her heart and some clothing, while Xane soon loses both. However, Xane isn’t being entirely honest about the reason for the band’s demise. When the truth comes out, can Dani accept the facts, or will everything come undone?

[Cocktails and Books]

I really enjoyed this story. Xane, ultimate Rock God, was a man who was nothing like her on-stage persona and was looking for a lasting relationship. When the one he thought he was building came crashing down around him, he fled the pain and his band. But when he runs into Dani as he's leaving the arena, he discovers what he wants is the person he just crashed into.

Dani, despite being a huge fan of Xane's, is able to see to the core of Xane. She sees past the on stage persona and make up to the man just looking for love and acceptance. She gives him all those things while craving the same for herself. When Xane gives it to her, she questions it (because why would a rock god want her). Xane has a a bit of an uphill battle with Dani, because he has years of a cult's prejudices to erase from her psyche. She didn't believe in their reasonings, but she has the scars of their attempts to sway her to their way of thinking.

My only issue with the book was the ending. The story left me hanging, knowing there has to be more to Xane and Dani's story than what we got at the end.

A surprising read with captivating characters who's charm, sexiness and insecurities hold you in their grasp until the last page.
