~ What's It About? ~

It all started with a song.

Roxana Nights was late to another gig, thanks to her first love, and drummer. It’s been years since she left Jordan, but he won’t let her go. Then she hears a voice that pulls her under a spell and changes her whole world.

Trevor Malone just moved to Seattle with his band. Music is his only passion, until he lays eyes on Roxana. He’s never felt anything as strong as the pull to her. Now he needs to find a way to introduce her to his world.

There’s only one problem. A rival clan won’t rest until they’ve taken Trevor’s down. Unwilling to let old grudges die, they target Roxy. Trevor will do anything to keep her safe.

Roxy will find that the world she writes is closer to reality than she ever imagined. She’ll also learn that not all monsters are evil, though some are ruthless.

Will love stay strong when the past comes out? Can they survive the centuries old vendetta?

~ My Thoughts ~

At first I had no clue what I was getting myself into, Their was a lot of things going on in this story. I do mean a lot. When I first started it I was taken back by how much was mixed into it I was having a hard time following along, that and there seemed to be a lot of POV, which I had no way of telling who was speaking until half way threw the first paragraph. Don't get me wrong this story was written really well in fact by the end of the story I was head over heels in love with Roxy's Clan I wanted more and more. Heck I couldn't get my fingers off the pages and onto the next fast enough hehe. 

Although this story had a lot going on it still have my favorite things in the paranormal world Werewolves and Witches!!! Well they were called something else in this story but same diff.  I'd have to give this story a 5star review, only to the fact that the author no matter what could keep you guessing as what was going to happen next and had enough action in it that would blow your mind to pieces or enough to give you brain damage, lol. I really enjoyed the over-all story nothing seemed like it didn't fit, the characters were/are great heck the clan's banter had me laughing my ass off lol.  Nothing seemed to try and make a point it already had a point.

See what I'm talking about grab a copy and get reading. If your a lover of paranormal then this is for sure a story for you. Wasn't to much of the love gushy paranormal stuff it had other things, almost real life drama feel to it. I liked it!!!

~ Excerpt ~

She slipped past him, and onto the wings of the stage. Her gaze fell on Mr. Voice who was tall, dark and smokin’ hot.
Holy shit, I want to lick him.
Scuffed combat boots were laced up over black leather pants that clung to muscular thighs, and his black shirt molded to the most impressive set of abs she had ever seen. Roxy wanted to trace the ridges with her fingertips.
He turned, his voice dropping low as his eyes locked on hers. His words enveloped her. “… you’re the only one.”
Her heart paused a beat before slamming into her chest at a rapid pace. His full mouth lifted into a grin that spoke of confidence as he held her full attention. Entranced, she fell deep into his eyes and the world stopped.
Until a drumstick hit him in the head. He looked over his shoulder and shrugged sheepishly at his drummer before turning back to launch into the next verse.
Mikey gently shook her shoulder. “Hey, Rox, come on. We have to warm up.”
Her head bobbed in a nod at her brother, but she didn’t look over. She muttered, “Yeah, give me a minute,” or longer.
As if he heard, Mr. Voice glanced over and winked at her before the next song started. “Blinded by beauty, falling at first sight, head over heels…” There was raw passion in his voice, and she couldn’t help wishing he was singing about her.
