NEW COVERS! SALES! REVIEW! OCTOBER 16 – 18: Hard Rock Harlets by Kendall Grey

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Bang is the fifth book in the Hard Rock Harlots series from Kendall Grey. I imagine you could read this book as a standalone but it is so much fun the read Strings, Beats and Nocturne. You don’t want to miss that book along with the other two stories Kendall Grey added to this series.

Jillian Frost is the manager of Killer Buzz Float. You would thing touring with a bunch of hardcore rockers would be a dream come true. It isn’t for Jillian. It is stressful, tense, and claustrophobic as all get out. Keeping the band members from killing each other has been a full-time job since they first hit the road. One day Jillian is the referee between lifelong friends frighting over the drummer girl. The next Jillian is Mean Mommy hiding liquor bottles from the guitarist who splits his time between impromptu stomach pumps at the local emergency room and unscheduled overnight accommodations in the local police station’s drunk tank. But worse of all is Letty Dillinger. A hyper-sexual, walking special effect that can be one of the best or the worst of them all depending on if she woke up in the wet spot that morning. Jillian is tired and misses her best friend, actually it is her ex husband who left her for a man. But, do not fret it simply let Jillian by the lesbian she didn’t know she was. Jillian longs for the touch of a woman who can take away her away for just a bit from all the chaos in her life. If it does not happen soon the beast trapped inside it’s cage her job her band, her reputation might not survive. Jillian isn’t looking for love she is just looking for a release. Unfortunately her employers, Letty especially, are not going to like where she is going to get it.

I loved this book. I was a little worried about how much I could take of the kink but I promise you don’t let the f/f thing turn you off. You will survive just fine. This is really the first full f/f book I have read. Trust me when you get to those scenes the last thing on your mind if going to be but it’s two women. Poor Jillian, she needs a gold metal for all the stuff she has to put up with from Killer Buzz Float. They call her Mom but I honestly don’t think this crowd could function without Jillian. But Jillian is lonely and looking to find a release. Miles her ex-husband thinks he knows exactly what she needs and thanks to his meddling she is set up to experience her first time in a sex club. It doesn’t turn out at all how Jillian thought and she is discouraged since the girl who was there just basically left the room. Sure she left her number in the strangest way ever but Jillian is not going to use it. That night they were in masks so Jillian has no idea who she was or her real name just that she is called Siren. Fast forward though time and Jillian finally knows who she was in the room with her that fateful night and it sets in motion a lot of things in this book. Now, I am not going to tell you what is going to happen. That would stink. But I will say that I hated Lizzie with a passion. She is awful. Beyond awful really and got worse as the book went on. I just wanted to punch her. You don’t mess with Jillian. Jillian is the woman and I’m pretty darn protective over my characters, as a reader, that I have followed through a series and really care about. You can also expect a lot of Letty antics right along with the rest of the band and there are some pretty funny moments in this book. I have to say too that I love the relationship that Tombs and Jillian form over morning coffee. If you are expecting a happily ever after for Jillian your reading the wrong book. However I will say I closes this book knowing that Jillian is a bad butt, she will be fine and sometimes you just need to discover your own happiness and sometimes it just isn’t what you thought you wanted or needed that are going to get you there.

Kendall Grey has written a beautiful book that I loved every second of. It isn’t what I expected it to be but so much more really in the grand scheme of things. I was so happy to spend more time with Killer Buzz Float too. I can never get enough of these guy. This has to be one of my all time favorite series ever written.
