After reading part 1 of Liss & Joe's story (a freebie on amazon) I was totally hooked and needed more! I'm so happy I found the full story in paperback! What a Rockin' romance Liss & Joe have sizzling chemistry! Rocked is an emotional wickedly funny love story full of heart stopping twists that almost had me in tears and a sweet HEA! I Love this series 5 Stars a Must Read!!!

Well written with just a few editing issues. I read books 4-6 first and came back to read about Joe and Liss. Even though these books started as serialized, the collections (1-3, 4-6) are really stand-alones without cliffhangers.
Written in first-person, these books feel like the real thoughts and feelings of a twenty-something girl trying to work her way to a better version of herself as her friends move on to college and her boyfriend finds crazy success. They have a nice heat factor, but there's definitely a plot and deeper emotions to keep the reader invested in the characters.
Compared to many of the rocker-type books I read, these characters are more articulate, more realistic, think and feel more deeply and realistically than what I've read from other authors. Strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys the rocker/real-girl genre.

Liss has always played things on the safe side. Never really taking risks or chances outside her comfort zone. Then one night at the diner a stranger walks in and changes Liss's whole world. Joe Hawk is a Rocker on the rise...after a show with the band he wanders around and winds up in Liss's diner. They touch and its an instant spark. With Joe's career rising faster than he can imagine, he and Liss try to make things work and find it's harder than it looks.
This is a compilation of the novellas. Joe and Liss's story is sweet and heartbreaking. Liss is stuck in a rut and your heart just goes out to her. Clara Bayard writes a believable, relate-able, and entertaining story. I enjoyed the boy meets girl, gets girl and boy and girl must figure out their relationship to make it work.

**Sigh**
This is such a sweet story and I can't wait to read more. Plus sized waitress meets and find she's desired by a lean tattooed rocker. What more could I ask for? Liss is a female I can relate to, all her insecurities, lack of faith herself, it is all so real and I've been there over and over again. So thank you Miss Bayard, for writing this story!!! I am off to read the couples' story!!

I really liked this book, the characters and the story line. It didn't make sense to pay for the 3 separate novellas instead of just paying once for the whole compilation. Some parts seemed a bit unrealistic but I loved the overall love story between Joe and Liss. Occasionally I wanted to shake some sense into Liss but I imagine that was the whole point. I'd definitely recommend although the story was a bit short. It's a good quick read though.

Good story, interesting characters, but rest of the books in the series are too expensive. I got this when it was a $0.99 special. I'd love to read the next book in the series, but $5.99 for 250 pages is just ridiculous for me. Hopefully there will be another sale soon.

Fresh enchanting love story. Some rocky moments because of insecurities but HEA seems to be assured. Well written story line flows nicely with 2 likeable main characters plus a couple of interesting minor characters with potential for further tales.

I loved that the girl in this book is a bit over weight and the rock star still falls for her. Hot and sexy. Good story line and a good read. Read in one day over several hours.

Probably a 3.5... Like that the heroine of this story is not your typical thin beauty - real curves and the real insecurities that go with it.
