PulseTunes Rock Gods #4
Until Korry
One minute I was that uncool kid who hated piano lessons.
The next, a high school dropout, playing in a start-up band.
A year later, that band, ‘Screaming Shadows’ was one of the biggest in the world.
Life was phenomenal apart from my one regret. That I never had the guts to tell my best friend, Blaire Hutton my true feelings about her.
As we grew up, I believed Blaire was my soulmate, but as she was every teenage guy’s wet dream, I stayed her nerdy school friend.
That was until the night before I headed out on my first big tour when I’d kissed her goodbye and she’d jokingly made a pact, that if we were both still single by thirty, she’d give up and marry me instead.
For a decade I’d held on to that pact, and with each year that passed I became convinced she would wait for me. But I’ve just heard at twenty-nine she was getting hitched… and it wasn’t to me.
My dilemma is, do I want her? Would she want me?? Should I go home and try to claim what I’ve grown to believe is mine, or am I delusional to think we should ever be together in the first place?

I freaking love KL Shandwick's writing and she's an amazing girl as well.
I've had the chance to be with her on two occasions and she's a sweetheart.
Her writing is freaking intense, heartfelt, and with a touch of darkness and hotness in the mix.
Until Korry is the fourth book from the Pulsetunes Rock Gods series and explores the lives of Korry and Blaire.
Do you know the boys from Screaming Shadows band?? if you know them, you know what I'm talking about but if you don't...Girl, you haven't seen the light, so I advise you to read this series from the beginning.
Korry was the uncool kid, who hated piano lessons. Fast forward and he was a dropout playing in a start-up band and one year later, that band was a huge success.
Life was good, he was living the dream but there was that little voice nagging at the back of his head that I should have told his feelings to his best friend.
They made a pack, that if they were single by the age of thirty, they would marry each other, but now, she's about to get married and...
Now we have a dilemma at hand...
When Bernadette, the band's PA, agrees to post as Korry's fake girlfriend in a time when all hell breaks lose and...
My oh My...What a book...What a ride...
I'm still shaking...Jesus, let's talk about drama.
This book had it all, true love, friendship, drama and so much more.
I loved the fact that love is right in front of you and you're blind to see it.
Loved Bernardett. She's sassy, explosive, and was able to manage those 4 men.
It was an amazing journey that I didn't want to end.
I love all of them and I'm a bit sad that it's over.
It's over right KL, or not???
Another amazing writing.

I was captivated by the journey of Korry, a former unpopular kid who transforms into a rock star. His transformation from a piano-hating student to a member of the renowned band Screaming Shadows is both dramatic and inspiring. The central theme of unrequited love for his best friend, Blaire, adds a poignant layer to the story. Their pact to marry if still single by 30 adds an interesting twist, especially with Blaire's impending marriage. Korry's tumultuous emotions and fake relationship with Bernadette, the band's PA, are brilliantly portrayed amidst media chaos. Shandwick's writing style is deeply emotional and engaging, making this book a standout in the Pulsetunes Rock Gods series. The blend of love, drama, and friendship makes it an enthralling read.

Until Korry is book four in the excellent PulseTunes Rock Gods series by K.L. Shandwick. We have been following each member of the band as they meet the strong women who tame them.
After Levi, Jude and Deakon, we now have Korry Moonan. He has always been the quieter member of Screaming Shadows and at the end of the last book we found out more about him. This is a typical KL Shandwick emotional read, set in the world of rock stars - a world she excels in portraying. With all the twists and turns you won’t want to put this down as you never know what is going to happen next. This is another of KL’s rock stars to fall in love with.
Korry is a loyal friend and band member, sweet, caring and very down to earth. He never told his best friend Blaire Hutton how he really felt about her and has regretted it ever since. He’d always hoped that she would keep to their pact but suddenly he finds out she is marrying someone else. He doesn’t know what to do especially as it looks like a lot of things have changed since he left. Will the friendship they had survive as they get to know each other again.
Whatever these guys do is of great interest to the media and effects the whole band. Can they help Korry to make the right decisions. Their amazing PA Bernadette gets caught up in all the chaos and ends up helping Korry out as his fake girlfriend. This poor girl really has her hands full with these guys but manages to hold her own. As usual we get treated to characters from her other books making an appearance and their scenes are full of fun and banter. We also get to know about Greg and he has certainly set the scene for his book.
What does fate have in store for Korry? Who will he end up with? Will he get the HEA he deserves. Enjoy this unpredictable and entertaining story which is full of drama, angst and emotion. This series just keeps better and better, showing love is never easy when you are a famous rockstar and living life in the public eye.

Korry is in a dilemma. Band mates are finding their life partners. He is one of only 2 remaining band members that has not found his HEA. The pact he made with his longtime friend, Blaire, that they would marry each other, if not married to someone else by the age of 30, is over. Blaire is engaged to marry someone else. Deakon encourages Korry to go home and confront Blaire and admit his feelings for her. Does he still love her, Hell yes!! But does she still love him??
The media causes issues and bad publicity for the band whilst Korry is visiting Blaire. An email from Blaire sends him into a frenzy. She brushes him off, telling him they can no longer be friends. She chooses her fiancé over Korry and their friendship.
To keep good publicity going, Their Band manager decides to put an alternate story in the mix and pushes Korry and the bands PA, Bernadette into a fake relationship.
This story has all the feels, that make you want more. Korry has always had a liking for Bernadette, so it was no hardship to fake a relationship with her. Bernadette has secretly had a crush on Korry since she started working for the band. Close quarters in the camper whilst on the road, gives Bernadette and Korry a chance to get to know each other better.
Korry thinks it is a good idea, to show Bernadette how to cook dope cookies! The laugh out loud shenanigans that these two get up to keep you wanting to turn the pages until it is finished. Bernadette reacts to the cookies and let's just say, the brilliant writing of KL has you belly laughing through the chapter.
Who does Korry decide to spend his life with. Blaire has a lot a baggage, but he loves her, right? What happens to his growing feelings and relationship with Bernadette. This 4th book of the Pulse-tunes Rock Gods is a must read!
A brilliant book that is well worth the 5 stars to see who Korry has his HEA with.

Korry is my favourite
The fourth book in the PulseTunes Rock Gods series has arrived. UNTIL KORRY is another emotional read that had me glued to my seat and K.L. Shandwick's brilliant words. This is a slow burn romance with all the feels.
Korry Moonan and Blaire Hutton have been friends since childhood, and years ago they made a pact, one that Korry has never forgotten. He has always had feelings for Blaire, but he never told her, now the time has come for him to tell his secret, especially since he's found out she's about to be married.
Korry has always been the quiet member of the band, so it is only now that we discover just how big his heart is, and how it leads to him being taken advantage of. Is Blaire still the girl for him, considering there has been a lot of changes in both their lives? Then there's Bernadette, the band's PA, who agrees to become Korry's fake girlfriend for publicity reasons when Korry when drama hits the media circles. I loved Bernadette, she was quick with the one-liners and a whole heap of fun, and I loved her ability to organize the band without any complaints. Korry and Bernadette were amazing together, but was it possible for them to have more? Two women, one man, will the right decision be made?
Once again K.L. Shandwick kept me thoroughly intrigued by her story. With her numerous twists and turns, she had me constantly guessing what the outcome was going to be ... Yes, I was thrilled with it. Korry's story was an absolute WINNER. Next up is Until Greg and I'm looking forward to that one.

Korry Moonan, A Girl's Best Friend!
KL Shandwick has outdone herself with "Until Korry!" This may be my favorite book in this series, which is saying something. There are so many twists and turns and omg moments!
Korry reminds me of that best friend growing up that always came through for you. He kind of flew under the radar and knew everything about you and was so unassuming. In this book, we see just how big of a heart Korry has. Unfortunately, sometimes, guys like that get a raw deal, whether they are shoved into "the friend zone," or they are taken advantage of. But Korry doesn't let those obstacles change him or his beliefs. I enjoyed how protective he was with all of his friends, band mates, and family. He is the perfect package! He deserves the perfect woman for him.
Blaire is so lucky to have a friend like Korry, and we all can't help but wonder what the heck happened and how will it get better for them?
Bernadette has been a source of rock solid support to the Screaming Shadows, and I was so excited to learn more about her, on a more personal level. She is a strong, fun, and intriguing young woman! I love it when an organized, "uptight" woman can let down her hair and have fun with the gang. I finished this book thinking, I want to party with this girl!
As always, I am thrilled when KL brings all of the characters and bands back in each story. We get to see where everyone is in their lives, and that is a treat. As we are getting to know Greg's character better as well, I am so excited to see what is in store for him in the next book.

Korry Moonan – everyone needs to have this guy within their close circle. He is one of the best!! Korry is one of the nicest, sweetest and caring guys you could ever wish to meet. His heart is huge, and there is nothing he won’t do to help those he cares about. He’d sacrifice his own happiness for others, which is the reason why I wanted nothing but for him to find that happiness he truly deserves.
I’m not going to mention anything about the storyline except that it is an incredible one to read. I had no clue which way Korry’s story was going to unfold and I loved this! This story is perfectly written using multi POVs and I know you’ll adore this narrative as much as I do. I always love it when K.L. Shandwick brings in characters from her other book series – well, they are all favourites of mine! I absolutely loved the banter that made me laugh out loud as much as the heart-warming and emotional moments that make this story as fabulous as it is!
This series is up there with my favourites. I highly recommend Until Korry to you to read. I cannot wait for Greg’s story after some of the scenes in this book. It’s going to be incredible, I’m certain. I don’t expect anything less since all of the books in this series have been incredible too! I’ve always got high expectations when it comes to a K.L. Shandwick novel and she never lets me down!
5 stars

I've been looking forward to reading Korry's story from the rock band Screaming Shadows as he's always been in the background. From experience I know that K.L Shandwick will deliver a kick ass story for him, I wonder what craziness awaits him?
This story has less band shenanigans than the others, instead it concentrates on the man that Korry has grown into and his coming to terms with his childhood memories. Don't get me wrong, he's as much a bad boy as the other's, always drinking, getting stoned and living the "free love", but a childhood sweetheart always kept him grounded... well, maybe a little.
When circumstances with his boyhood crush change Korry ends up running to her, however, what he finds is not what his memories had him feeling for so long. He is forced to reevaluate his situation, and to keep the bad publicity away he enters in to another false relationship...sigh.
Korry struggles to come to terms with all the confusing, unexpected and genuine feelings life has thrown at him, but watching him mature and respect the women in his life is awesome. His past and present collide, forcing him to really listen to his heart.
I was shouting at the screen trying to make him see the gorgeous and genuine girl in front of him, but all those drugs must have watered down his brain lol.
The last few chapters of the story where the whole band go to Vegas to chill turns into one uncomfortable wake up call after another. But the kind and strong man that he is has him standing his ground against his bandmates and taking the hand of the girl that he finally accepts has had his heart for a long time.
I love that K.L Shandwick delves deep into her characters flaws and takes them on their journey of discovery and acceptance. They are only human after all, if a bit stupid most of the time...
Great writing.

K.L. Shandwick just keeps getting better and better. Until Korry is the best yet! I was hooked in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. I’m a sucker for a friends-to-lovers trope and this book delivered that and more. After years apart, Korry and Briar’s friendship isn’t as strong as it used to be. It was time they rekindled that relationship and talked about the pact they made together years ago. Whether one of them is engaged or not. Who better to help Korry with this quest than the band’s PA, Bernadette. Que the drama, shenanigans, funny banter, and unpredictable HEA. The MC’s story is so fun, romantic, and sweet. This story was emotional and heartfelt. I feel like the author gave us a more impassioned storyline and male MC. And I don’t just mean the smeggsy kind of passion. (Though that was amazing!) Korry is the most sensitive man in the Screaming Shadows. He’s affectionate, sentimental, kind, and loyal. I thought their connection was deeper and more intimate. It was real. Shandwicks’s characters are always well-developed and easy to connect with. This series has been amazing with strong characters and a chosen family. This is an absolute must read, especially for rockstar romance fans! Thank you to DS Promotions for gifting me this great book in exchange for an honest review.

Another book in the Rock Gods rockstar series and this time it's Korry's story which had so many ups & downs but took a direction i didn't see coming and was surprised by. I really enjoyed getting back into the rockstar world but it also had an emotional pull to it that made you feel for the characters but I mostly want to have an own Korry in my life. Can't wait to see what's next in store :-)
When Korry has a few days off, he's planning to get back to his house to make a few arrangements to finally make it a home. When his sister makes a suggestion to use his best friend to help him out, he isn't too eager to but he'll try to give it a chance although it doesn't really work out the way he thought it would be as Blaire doesn't seem like the girl he has always known. Now soon to be married, it seems a lot has changed and nothing seems the same, even though there are still parts of their relationship underneath. As things soon escalate, it'll be a lot to overcome but there might be a bright light ahead, in the way nobody expected...

5 Star Review Until Korry (PulseTunes Rock Gods #4) by K L Shandwick
Having read the previous books in the series I could not wait to dive into Until Korry; it was everything I was expecting and more. Ms. Shandwick’s characters have depth and are multi-dimensional and you cannot help but be drawn into their story.
There were twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat whilst reading Korry and Blaire Hutton’s story. They were best friends but she had no idea that Korry, now a member of the band Screaming Shadows had feelings for her.
A pact when they were young had them agreeing to marry if they were still single at 30. Now Korry learns that Blaire is getting married and he is faced with ignoring his feelings or telling her the truth.
This slow burn romance was well written, with plenty of heart and soul and was an entertaining read that brought out all the feelings whilst reading.

Rockstar Korry made a pact with his friend Blaire when they were 30 and still not married, they would marry each other. On a visit home, he's horrified to discover from his Zena that Blaire is getting married before age 30, and it's not to him. He goes around to see what's going on and why his sister has an invite and he doesn't. He runs afoul of her fiancée much to his detriment. Will Korry's and Blaire's friendship ever be the same again? Their ever-trusty Band PA Bernadette draws the short straw to become Korry's girlfriend for publicity purposes when drama gets out in the media about Korry. I loved all the twists and turns in the story you don't see coming.
I received an arc for my voluntary honest review for NNBB. If you love a slow-burn rock star romance with a few laughs along the way you will love this book. K.L Shandwick never fails to please and once again has you turning the pages until you finish.

The PulseTunes Rock Gods series has been one of them most enjoyable rocker romance series that I have read for a while, so I was excited to get the latest book Until Korry.
Korry Moonan is the keyboardist for the band and the most unassuming member of the band and also the most loyal friend anyone could ask for especially his childhood friend Blaire. Korry always thought that he had a special relationship with Blaire which included a pact that they would marry each other if they remained unmarried by age 30. So it comes as a shock when he finds out that she is getting married without telling him.
If you thought this was a "I'm going to get the girl before she makes a big mistake" story well think again. There are enough twists and turns to make your head spin but Korry shows what a great guy he is despite the adversity swirling around him and he is more than ready to step in to help his longtime friend.
Even more surprising is that Korry finds the love he has always thought he would never have and it is right in front of his eyes.
I absolutely loved this story and getting to know Korry and his friends better especially Greg whose story is coming up next.

Wow
I love this fourth book in the Pulsetunes Rock Gods series.
These books keep getting better and better.
Korry is the quietest of the band. The most level-headed. That doesn't mean he doesn't live the rock star life. He's just slightly more subtle about it.
Korry and his childhood best friend Blaire had a marriage pact, and she's now getting married. This throws up a lot of emotions for him. Twists and turns ensue, which kept me second guessing what was coming. I kept being surprised, and I love that.
These characters are everything you want and more. They continuously suprise me and keep me engrossed.
I love how all the series couples are in every book, and their stories evolve along with the couple of the moment.
The story detail is perfect, and the plots have me captivated.
I am looking forward to Greg's book. I can't wait.
I highly recommend this book, series, and author.

Every page of Until Korry, from the first page to the last was so good!! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. One of my favorite parts from Until Korry was the one with the cookies, I loved that scene. It was both cute and so funny. 🙂
I highlighted lots of different quotes that I loved while I was reading but this one was one of my favorites;
"The prospect of having to entertain Korry for the next six days made me anxious, yet I wasn’t an anxious person. Perhaps if he hadn’t been quite so good-looking, I might have found this less of a challenge."
I can't wait to read Greg's story but I'm also sad to see the PulseTunes Rock Gods series come to an end as I've loved every book of the series so far. K.L. Shandwick's PulseTunes Rock Gods books have been one of my favorite rockstar romance series. ❤️

OMW, this book so didn't go the way I expected it to, but honestly the twists it took were way better, kept me on my toes right to the end. This is a slow burn that turns into an inferno, there are some fun scenes along the way as well, image descriptions had me chuckling right along with the characters. A bit of angst as well, it's definitely not smooth sailing for anyone. A must read for all KL Shandwick fans, with steam and deep emotions that she is known so well for, flow is steady but takes off every now and then, fabulous characters to fall in love with, or not lol. I adore Korry, he is down to earth, feet firmly on the ground despite success and money. I'm not saying much else because this definitely needs to be a surprise for readers but personally found it exceeded expectations while giving me all I crave in a story. Such an exciting read.

Korry was a rockstar now, but he always remembered the pact with Blaire they’d get married before they were thirty.
He never expected Blaire would get married, what happens results in a media frenzy, which of course the band has to manage, leaving Korry not knowing if he can forgive Blaire.
Korry has a lot to work out – is he in love with Blaire or the idea of being in love with her, while trying to keep his public image undamaged. As always, your taken on an incredible journey while Korry works towards his happiness, which involved cookies and frozen peas 😆

I’m loving the PulseTunes Rock Gods Series and I was excited to pick up Korry and Blaire Hutton’s journey, well let me just say Until Korry is a must read for all rock romance lovers.
Korry and Blaire have history in fact they made a pack when they were childhood best friends saying if they were both single at 30 they would get married. They may be best friends but Blaire had no idea her best friend who is now a member of the Screaming Shadows had feelings for her. When Korry finds out Blaire is getting married he needs to tell her the truth or walk away……..
This journey had me on the edge of my seat as the twists and turns just kept coming, the characters are strong and easy to love but it was this love story that’s obviously been written from the heart that made Until Korry a very special read.

Book 4 in this PulseTunes Rock Gods and this is another great addition to this series!
Korry has a heart of gold, always there for his friends and family. He's been best friends with Blaire from growing up, they made a pact to marry each other when they were 30 if they hadn't gotten married before that. Korry finds out from his sister that Blaire is getting married, and he hasn't been invited. Korry has always had feelings for his best friend, which Blaire is completely unaware of, will he open up and admit his feelings for her, or just walk away.....
Bernadette, their trusty and reliable band PA, ends up posing as Korry's fake girlfriend when the media get wind of what's happening in Korry's world.
A great read, lots of twists and turns, angsty and emotional - a great slow burn rockstar read, not to be missed.

Well, Korry's story was not what I was expecting! I knew it was going to be good, these Screaming Shadow rockstars have all been fantastic, but there were unexpected twists, turns and surprises with the direction Until Korry went and I loved it.
Korry is the bands keyboard player, so doesn't get quite the media attention Jude, Levi and Deakon get, but that's all about to change. Despite having grown up in a loving family, with a childhood best friend who saw beyond his geeky, awkwardness and for whom he'd do anything for, (even a marriage pact) we do see a surprising vulnerability regarding his place in the band, despite his talent and confidence. He is a beautiful man inside and out. Kind, thoughtful, loyal, flirty, fun and very forgiving, perhaps a bit too much on occasions, but that shows how big his heart is.
I think you're going to love Korry's path to love, I know I did and can't wait for more!
4.5 stars

Blaire
is Korry's bestie although the two secretly have feelings for each other the pair never acted on them and have carried on with their lives.
Korry finds out that Blaire is to be married and is hurt to find out that he has not been invited
Bernadette is the bands PA works hard and basically does everything she is asked
She is amazing at her job but lacks in self confidence.
After accusations are made korry and Bernadette become close and Blaire's happiness comes to a screeching halt.
I absolutely love the way this book was written kept us guessing and also rooting for certain characters.
I loved Korry I felt even though he had a ton of stuff thrown at him he is an amazing friend and always puts others first
Excellent book a very well deserving 5*
Looking forward for the next.

This is the fourth book in this incredible series, and this is Korry and Blaire’s story. These two are best friends, and they made a pact before Korry left with his band, that at the age of 30 if they were still single, they would marry each other. Korry has never told Blaire his true feeling towards her, and when he hears she is getting married, he is left with a dilemma, whether to tell her or just ignore them. This is a beautifully written story which is a slow burn, with emotions, twists, romance, heartbreak, humor, witty banter, challenges, and love, which leads to a heartfelt, entertaining, and unpredictable addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

When Korry's best friend comes back into his life after not seeing her for about a year, feelings take on a new direction. Little does he know that what is about to follow will change his life forever.
Bernadette has been the groups PA for a few years now and knows the boys better than many. But how far will she go to help the band out?
Korry’s story has been my favourite of the series so far. Korry was by far the best of the bunch. We get to see more to Bernadette and her walls come down. Korry helps bring out that side of her.
I loved how much fun they had together throughout the book and the connection as they grew. I can't wait to see them again in Greg's book.
Until then I am off to listen to Cindi Lauper and girls just want to have fun.

Korry's story is book 4 in the Pulsetunes Rock God Series.
Blaire is Korry's bff and years ago, they made a pact. If by the age of thirty, neither were married, they would marry each other. Korry may be a rock god now, but he never forgot Blaire or the pact they made. When he receives some news, he realises it's now or never. He has to let Blaire know exactly how he feels. The problem is that things don't always go to plan, and sometimes fate has something else in mind, and it might be the best leap you ever made.
This story definitely didn't go in the direction I was expecting, but I loved every minute, and cannot recommend this series enough.

Korry is the whole package! Talented, kind, hot, considerate, funny and just a bit naughty. His loyalty to his friends is paramount, but in Until Korry, it has consequences, not just for him, but for the hardworking and awesome Bernadette.
There are some hilarious results of ambitious baking, some heartbreak when life throws curveball, and plenty of slowburn acceptance that life has other plans for us.
Another book full of heart, warmth and rock and roll from the unfailingly good pen of KL Shandwick. A real treat. 💖💖💖💖💖

“Until Korry” PulseTunes Rock Gods, Book 4 by K.L. Shandwick was a great read! Once again this Author has hammered out another winner. I find her books so easy to fall into that it feels like you’re part of the story. This book is about Korry, the keyboard player for Screaming Shadows and his journey to finding his soul mate. I don’t want to give anything away because how it all unfolded had me on the edge of me seat and gave me all the feels.
It’s no wonder the Author is one of my favourite Authors.
Eagerly awaiting the next instalment to this series!

Korry Moonan may be a Rockstar, but he plays the keys and is used to hiding in the background. When his childhood best friend, Blaire gets engaged, he's faced with the question on whether to confess his feelings or let her go. However sometimes the one we are meant to be with might be right in front of us instead of the past.
Bernadette is the bands PA but maybe she is the one.
I loved all the twists from this book. While Deakon is still my favorite Screaming Shadows member, Korry is hard not to fall for.
I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.

Until Korry by K.L. Shandwick is the touching story of Korry and Blaire and Bernadette. Blaire has been Korry’s best friend for years. They made a pact back then…and now, she’s getting married. Should Korry tell her how he feels? Meanwhile, the PA for the Screaming Shadows band that he’s a member of…is turning a few heads as well…
This was an enchanting story that, at times, had me laughing, crying, sighing, and screaming! So many emotions! So many twists and turns!! Plenty of heat! Hard to let go of this story!! Great read!!
