HARD ROCK HOTTIES!

You have seen me post about these books before. And I cannot help but talk about them again. Part of the reason is because the FINAL book in the Darkest Days novels released back in October and I went bonkers. I mean, it was the LAST book in that series! No more books about the Darkest Days band members. There aren't anymore Feral Silence members. But there are Cherry Lips members. Yes! Athena Wright has a new series coming! And I'm so excited for that. Which brings me to this: I am a self-proclaimed recruiter for the Feral Fangirls and the Darkest Divas. If you click on the banner, you can sign up for Athena's newsletter, AND you get a FREE full length novel, Hard Rock Promise, which was originally in the Begging for Bad Boys box set/anthology (which is no longer available). And within that same newsletter, you will get alerts on her coming releases, giveaways, book deals, and let's not forget the special invite to her Facebook group. And yeah, I could just put that link here, but I really think Athena would appreciate you signing up for her newsletter. She is fantastic.

You know the drill: I am only sharing my final thoughts on the books. The synopsis is right there for you to have a brief idea what the book is about. Cover will be linked to Amazon.
My Goodreads review will be right beneath the corresponding book.

Minor detail before you go on: I had to add my review to Goodreads AGAIN for a couple of these. But who cares? It's up again. Also, some of my reviews in the first series might have the original covers in them.

HARD ROCK GAZE

(FERAL SILENCE ROCK STAR #1)

Get ready to fall for the rock star gods of Feral Silence!!
*Each book is a New Adult Rock Star Romance Standalone*

Rock star Jayce Evans—with his smoldering, movie star looks and raw, unflinching talent—has girls throwing themselves at his feet.

But not me, no matter what Neil, my longtime crush, thinks. I would never chase after a rock star like some groupie.

Then I got an internship touring with Jayce and his band, Feral Silence.

Every time I watch Jayce’s fingers caress the long neck of his guitar, I shiver. One look and I swoon. He teases every ounce of emotion possible from a string of notes… and from my body.

Jayce’s sex-god image sometimes threatens to outweigh his talent as a musician—but not for me. I can see past the fans, the lights, and the glamour. I can see the real Jayce Evans, not just the rock star god.

But Jayce plays hot and cold with my heart. One minute he wants me. The next, he pulls away. I’m the one person he confides in. I’m the one person he can’t be with. The chemistry between us is undeniable. His music fills my soul, and his pleasure fills my body.

Now, I’ve just got to get him to see me… and trust me.

Hard Rock Gaze is a sexy rockstar romance with MFM ménage scenes. It is the first novel in the Feral Silence series, but can be read as a standalone with a HEA, although it does have an epilogue which leads into book two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grabs your attention and holds it there.

In total honesty, I did not expect this. I have read the third book in this series, it was fantastic, so I knew I needed to get my hands on the rest of the books before the next one comes out. Ailey and Jayce are definitely my favorite. I was not expecting such a triangle, but it worked out. I was a little out of sorts towards the end when Ailey is with both Jayce and "Neil". But, it worked out and it was hot heavy.

Hard Rock Voice by Athena Wright

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Egotastic Kell is not what he seems.

Hard Rock Voice was the only Feral Silence novel I hadn't read until now. Sheesh, Kelly was always the one with the ego, but having read around him and not directly, I didn't know much more than what I read in Jayce, Ren's and Morris' stories. Gotta say, I'm still not quite into the whole ménage thing, but I know I am a die hard fangirl living my fantasies through these books. Athena, mission accomplished. ❤❤

HARD ROCK TOUCH

(FERAL SILENCE ROCK STAR #3)

It's been five years. Is he still the boy I grew up with, or are the rumors true? After all, everyone knows rock stars don't date nice girls. Rock stars use nice girls.
~
His back was to me, tall with long black hair falling over his shoulders. He signed autographs and took selfies. I wanted to shout and get his attention. I didn’t even know his name.
He turned around. I saw his face up close for the first time. Time stopped. My limbs trembled, going weak. I was seeing a ghost. A ghost of the boy I'd grown up with. The boy I'd fallen in love with. The boy I'd long thought dead.
Then dark eyes met mine as Ren spoke my name and I fell for him all over again.
Now he says he wants me in his life. I want to believe him, but five years is a long time. Ren's changed. I've changed. He refuses to speak about the past. He won't tell me why he ran off and disappeared. Is he still the boy I fell in love with? Or are the rumors true.
After all, everyone knows rock stars don't date nice girls.
Rock stars use nice girls.

Feral Touch is a sexy rockstar romance. It is the third novel in the Feral Silence series, but can be read as a standalone with a HEA.

Feral Touch by Athena Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE REN!!!

Feral Touch might be the third book in the series, but that does not make it any less awesome! First off, take a moment to look at the cover. Friggin' . . . yeah, let's stick to the review. Like the description implies, this book follows cellist, Ivy. She is practically dragged to a concert with her two friends. Ivy is not a fan of the band, but there one song that she loves, because of the violin solo. When the concert ends, of course, Ivy's friends want to have a chance to meet the band, and they drag Ivy along. Ivy is not into the fangirl thing, but she does want to at least see the sexy bass player-slash-violin soloist from her new favorite song. The description is a major spoiler in itself.
Sparks fly; feelings aroused . . . fill in the blanks.

Was reading this while i was out today. Ohmigosh! I loved this soooooo much! That Ren is a sexy beast *swoons* Got me hooked from the first page. The story was captivating. The romance was steamy and I could not put it down. I loved Ivy's character. I loved that she knew Ren before. I love her friends; I would be right along with them, fascinating about the band I am now obsessed with. Feral Silence all the way!

HARD ROCK HEART

(FERAL SILENCE ROCK STAR #3)

One overly-excitable fangirl couldn't possibly compete with the woman a rock star god loved and lost...

I watch him in concert. I adore him from afar. I live for those brief moments backstage when he acknowledges my existence.
That's as close to a man I ever let myself get. It's safer for everyone.

Until fate brought us together.

Morris says he wants me. He says he'll protect me.
He also says I remind him of someone he used to care about.
I have to wonder. What ghost from his past is he seeing when he looks at me?
How can I possibly compete with the woman a rock star god loved and lost?

A sexy New Adult Rock Star Romance. It is the fourth novel in the Feral Silence series, but can be read as a standalone with a HEA.

Feral Heart: a Rock Star Romance by Athena Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

FANGIRL DREAM BROUGHT TO LIFE!

I loved Morris and Natalie. After reading Ren and Ivy, I had a subtle feeling Natalie would be next. Natalie is a very animated character; fangirl at its best, and this book makes the dream come to life. Morris' back story was heart breaking and beautiful. I love how he made it appear to be a fake relationship at the start, but intended on being with Natalie truly. Steamy romance for the fangirl heart.

HARD ROCK TEASE

(DARKEST DAYS #1)

Rock god Noah Hart needs inspiration. And he's choosing me as his muse.

In my darkest days, I found solace in the words of rock star god Noah Hart. He saw into my heart. And I saw into his. Even though we'd never met, I felt as if I knew the man behind the music.
Then I met him.
Noah isn't a wounded poet.
He's a jerk.
He's abrasive, cutting, and guarded as hell. He says people are selfish. He says we're only out for ourselves. He refuses to trust. He refuses to let anyone in.
I'm supposed to be helping him write a song. I'm supposed to be his confidant.
But the only time we connect is when we take to his bed. Noah plays my body as skillfully as he plays the piano. He makes me feel things I've never dreamed of.
And that includes heartache.
The man behind the music is nothing like I imagined.
Who exactly is this Noah Hart I've met, and what the hell happened to my soulful, romantic poet?

Noah Hart will win your heart.

I love Jen; I remember her character from the Feral Silence novels. Her determination to see Noah deeper than the surface and not let him push her away is to be admired. Noah's trust is not easily earned, and at the slightest possibility that Jen would betray him, he doesn't let her come near him again. I love how Jen's character is still friends with Natalia (Natalie?) and Ivy and how they visit this book for a while. Love it!

HARD ROCK FLING

(DARKEST DAYS #2)

It's just a fling. Rock stars like Ian are known for breaking hearts. I'm not going to let him break mine.
Ian Drake, one of the genius twin guitarists of Darkest Days, is known for his brilliant green eyes, his sly grins, and his mischievous flirting.
I shouldn't take him seriously when he flirts with me. But there's something about the way he looks at me. Like I'm the only one who sees past his cheery facade. Like I'm the only one who really sees him.
Ian says I'm special. He says I'm not like the others. He showers me with pretty words, just as he fills me with naughty desires.
Everyone knows rock stars like Ian don't do commitments. This is just physical. Just fun. I'm going in with my eyes wide open.
Because there's a secret he's not telling me. And why would he? We're just having a fling.
I told myself I wouldn't let Ian break my heart.
But I'm dangerously close to falling for a playboy rock star.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh!

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! I cannot even begin to say how heart wrenchingly amazing this book is! My heart hasn't even begun to calm down. Ian is perfection. I love Hope. I love the fact that Hope is also a twin. Athena Wright brought in the subject of self-harm and I can say it was not so much that it would be influential, but it was definitely a good amount to make me want to stab myself in the heart because it really is heartbreaking that anyone would think it could help them not feel different pains. But it was so good and now I need to know if Faith and Damon have a story coming up, or will it be Cameron? Hmm . . . .

HARD ROCK SIN

(DARKEST DAYS #3)

But the sinfully hot rock star, known for his wild parties and lady killer reputation, is the bassist in my brother's band. And I know my brother. He'll kill Cameron if he looks at me twice.
Which means the two of us will never be more than friends.
Only... he keeps staring at me like he wants to throw me on his bed. He keeps licking his lips like he's thinking of tasting me.
Cameron wants me too.
We know there will be hell to pay. I'm his bandmate's little sister. But neither of us can fight it.
This rock star god will do anything to keep me.

They were together to the end.

I have been waiting too long for Cameron's story and oh my gersh! Noah's little sister, Lily, is a great character. The connection between her and Cam is amazing. I like how he was quick to apologize to her for what she saw, when he realized who she was in the start. I loved how there were no "break-up" moments. They were together to the end. They were by each other's side. *sighs* I'm so looking forward to the next Darkest Days novel!

HARD ROCK DECEIT

(DARKEST DAYS #4)

He's a brilliant artist.

A rock star god.
He challenges me. Excites me.
He makes me quiver. Makes me swoon.
He makes me feel things I've never dreamed of.
But we're both dedicated to our art.

We'll do whatever it takes to succeed.
When I find out just how far he'll go, it threatens to tear our world apart.

August Summers . . .

Well, that was heart wrenching. Yanked my heart right out of my chest. Can you see the gaping hole and shatter rib bones? My chest freaking hurts and I love it! Honestly held off reading for too long. It was one of those feelings where I don't want it to end, but its not quite over, but . . . IDK, I'm a hot mess right now. This was amazing.

HARD ROCK HEAT

(DARKEST DAYS #5)

Playboy rock star Damon Drake is exasperating. He's infuriating. And he wants me in his bed.
It's the worst idea in the world. Damon doesn't do commitment. I don't do casual. He's an impulsive, cocky hothead. I'm the mature one who cleans up everyone's mess.
But sparks fly during our every encounter. My body melts at the smallest touch. I can't help but be attracted to his confidence, his self-assurance. Something about those wicked green eyes makes the world fall out from beneath my feet.
Not to mention those sexy, inked arms of his...
I refuse to give in to his charm. I won't fall for him like all the other girls.
But with everything going on in my life, maybe a bad boy distraction is exactly what I need.

Kill me with the sexy twin!

I read this book with a bittersweet feeling. Darkest Days is officially over and I am not ready for that! But at the same time, there was a sense of closure. I loved Ren's cameo! He's my favorite of the Feral Silence series. Faith and Damon are just the perfect match. They bring out the best I'm each other. I still have a soft spot for Ian though. ❤❤❤

What? You thought this was finished? I ain't letting you away that easily. There are still the bonus book(s). Of which only one was on GoodReads, so I'm improvising for HARD ROCK PROMISE. FERAL DREAM . . . I don't know think there is a way to get this prequel, also don't actually have a review on GoodReads. Yeah, double improvisation.

FERAL DREAM:

A FERAL SILENCE PREQUEL

Want to know how the rock band Feral Silence came to be? Athena has written a side story prequel that follows the making of the band.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Don't know why I didn't add a review, but in any case, I just want to say it was awesome to learn about the band's background and what brought them together. Ren was my favorite before reading this prequel, and still is. Kell is Kell, Jayce is ever as quiet. And Morris is -fans self-- Let's just say for such a short book, it's still quite hot. HOT rockstars, hello!

HARD ROCK PROMISE

(A CHERRY LIPS NOVEL)

As the bassist in the rock band Cherry Lips, Gael's had more than his fair share of women. But his promises of forever ignite my heart, just as his naughty words ignite my body. Is Gael playing me, or playing for keeps?

IMPROVISED REVIEW -

For anyone who might not know, Cherry Lips is an upcoming band in Athena's world of hot rockstars. Lead singer of this band is Cerise, and her brother, Gael, is the bassist.
The leading lady in this book, Jessie, is not connected to the other girls. But she is, in a way. Because she pops up a few times in all the other books. Both in Darkest Days and Feral Silence.
Jessie has sworn off ever having a relationship rockstars. She has enough to deal with having to serve them drinks every day. So when Gael introduces himself to her, thinking she knows exactly who he is, she is quite surprised at how she reacts to him, before knowing his profession. But then, even her "Rule" can't keep her away from him.
Like all of Athena's rockstars, Gael instantly won me over. I seriously live out my fangirl dreams through her books.
