~ Revelry by Kandi Steiner

I have a soft spot for these kind of books! Rocker boys make me swoon. I won't lie about that and this book was no exception. I wasn't even too fond of Cooper in the Sugartown books but I had a change of heart with this one. I am loving that whole band!!!

Ali not sure what to say about her. She was in a tough spot and made some tough decisions. She's one tough cookie. She does what is best for her in the end.

Quote: “I knew she loved him more than she had ever loved me. I knew, and still did everything I could to keep her. Everything but make her happy."

 

 

Took me awhile to post this review up. Just because I had to take a few minutes to figure how I really felt about this book. Not because I hated it, but because I was feeling so much dislike for one of the main characters. The book itself was AMAZING!!! but somewere at the 50% point I totally hit a hateful wall towards Ali. Ok so before I go on my rant lets introduce the many wonderful characters in this book. The book introduces us to a band called Taint, which includes a couple of band members. All wonderfully written in with their charassmatic funny personalities. Although this book is really written about Cooper and Levi the other band members constantly appear through out the book. Then we also have Ali. Miss wonderfully bipolar Ali Jones...sigh!. If my reading Junkies have not figured out yet, this book does include a pain on my ass love triangle. (Will try my hardest not to give anything away, promise). So as any book the introduction to all these characters grabs you from the get go. That's the wonderful thing about Carmen's writing she is always able to do that with every book I have picked up that's hers. Ali starts off as such a likable character. Kind, strong and just lovable but, I think when the book really gets into the twists and the turns your left asking WTH!?!?...Ali the lovable girl that you have felt so sorry for turns into the witch from hell..lol. (Ok im exaggerating..lol) But something to that. She becomes selfish and you start feeling soo bad for cooper. He becomes that alley puppy you want to pick up and take home to fix. Yea I did feel that way about Coop. Then we have Levi, ahh yes that poor fool. I mean in general I think he was more collateral damage that in the end you are kind of taken back by how his ending ends. Just because through out the book he is written in as to kind of be immune to all the feeling crap that the other 2 are feeling, which by the way makes him the entertaining one to read about. From the beginning I was hoping for the ending to be a little different than how it ended, was not very satisfied on the ending at all. Ok so now after my little rant I do have to clarify that this book really is worth reading. It may not be the story or ending you want, or at least that I wanted, but I did love the story. It was entertaining, funny and it definitely takes you through a bumpy ride. But I will definitely continue this series and read "Hurt" book 2. And hope that I wont be cussing my kindle out on the next book..lol

*** 3.75 STARS ***

Two Rock stars,one Girl....

COOPER



ALI



LEVI



COOPER has been introduced in the previous series by this Author, in SUGARTOWN.He is Hollys ex and the father of her baby.She left him heart broken when she chose another man.

ALI is down on her luck,no home,no money,broken relationship and has just got her dream job working for Harbour Records.

LEVI band mate and long time friend of Cooper.

The story starts with the band Taint in a meeting with management when Ali enters the picture.Cooper is instantly attracted to her,not least because of her similarity to his ex Holly.He demands that she becomes their new PA and goes on Tour with them.She is very reluctant but has to agree to keep her job.

While her and Cooper are attracted to each other the situation with Levi is different...she hates him and this is where my niggles began So she can't stand him but after one night of too much alcohol and drugs and the dirty deed happening things instantly change

So their three way relationship starts...
Now I love Menage books but do have a problem with love triangles only because,inevitably someone is going to get left out....

"Now,now,boys,there's enough of me to go around"

Was there though?or will their constant push and pull wear me thin?



I have always loved Cooper but HOLY HELL Levi completely stole my heart,and it's got nothing to do with the 12 inches he's packing down below....Yes 12 inches!!... he's the ultimate Sexy Rock Star but also had a vulnerability to him.

This is definitely not a fluffy Rock Star book,with Alcohol and drug use and the sex....well it pretty much takes up the whole book....

I have to say I enjoyed the SUGARTOWN series more but this is still a great read and I am totally invested in reading more of this series to find out about the other band members..

So what happens with the love triangle?? My lips are definitely sealed.......

Revelry is about the band Taint just starting to make it into the big times and an assistant just trying to survive. It does have a love triangle, crude scenes and M/F/M sex. I wouldn't call this your general rock star type read. It's way more gritty than dreamy.

I fell for all of the band members immediately. They are all hot in their own unique ways. Ali didn't really totally win me over. I still thought she was an ok chick, just not a favorite. I was majorly loving the story at the beginning. When they went on tour, it lost some of the attractiveness for me. I still liked it, but I didn't have stars in my eyes anymore. The characters' flaws became more apparent, and some things brought my mood down or made me feel a little gaggy.

The sex scenes were very hot. And the emotions really pulled me in. Again Ali didn't have my complete sympathy, but I loved both men. I was pleasantly amazed by how deep these guys were.

I'm definitely looking forward to more from these band members. I think each could win my heart.

3.5 stars
