Gabe “Force” Banner’s life is in shambles. The only career he knows and wants is to be the drummer of Sole Regret, so he will try anything to get his band back together. But how can he fix this mess when his bandmates aren’t even speaking to each other? It seems everyone in Gabe’s life is trying to push him forward to find a different career, an alternate path, a new life, but he is more than satisfied with his current gig. The only thing he wants to add to his fortuitous existence is his one, his Melanie. But how can he offer his perfect woman a stable future if he doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring?
Melanie Anderson’s life has finally come together. She has a stable career, a solid family foundation, and her future looks bright, but she is totally willing to rock that sane world for a chance to be with a rock star she never imagined she’d grow to love. Gabe is everything she always wanted in a man, but can she really give up her home, her job, and her close, but conservative-minded family to build a future with an out-of-work drummer?
For their very different worlds to come together, Gabe and Melanie must learn to trust each other and to trust their love. Will Gabe’s uncertain future tear them apart, or can it bring them closer together?
This is Gabe’s last book in the Sole Regret series, and the first of the 5-book series conclusion.
Combining her love for romantic fiction and rock ‘n roll, Olivia Cunning writes erotic romance centered around rock musicians. Raised on hard rock music from the cradle, she attended her first Styx concert at age six and fell instantly in love with live music. She's been known to travel over a thousand miles just to see a favorite band in concert. As a teen, she discovered her second love, romantic fiction -- first, voraciously reading steamy romance novels and then penning her own. Growing up as the daughter of a career soldier, she's lived all over the country and overseas. She recently moved to Galveston, Texas.
Yay, we are finally into the third book for each band member and this one is the conclusion of Gabe & Melanie's love story. The rest of the band feature as each of their stories are playing out alongside each other.
I'm really happy with how Gabe's story panned out and I'm very excited to see what happens to rest of the guys and who the baby daddy is!
Gabe. Wonderfully inventive Gabe. I couldn't wait to get stuck into this book, this whole series has been edge of the seat addictive and this instalment was no different. After the explosive events in the previous arc of books, I was hoping for a few answers (and there were a couple) but the main theme of the book was Gabe and Melanie's relationship. All that I can say is that it is a clear the schedules type of read and I loved it!
Finally an ending for one of the Sole Regret couples! Gabe and Melanie are my favorite, so I was ready for this book. They are a perfect match and although I wish Mel was harder on her friend Nikki for overstepping boundaries, it was a great conclusion. I’m looking forward to Shade’s ending and curious to see how that tangled mess is going to play out!
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my....my heart could not be anymore happy then it was at the end of Trust Me. I mean I was still like WTF how could it end there but my heart was left in a happy place.
I love Gabe and Melanie - there story captured my heart from the beginning. I love how they met - little nieve Melanie. It sure turned her world upside down though. Melanie is successful, caring and truly loves with everything she has. Then you have Gabe - the sexy drummer who is a geek at heart. How can you not love him (he invents things...just wait till you see his invention in Trust Me - total MIND BLOWING). Even though they are both so different they compliment each other in the best possible of ways. They are the perfect combination.
In Trust Me, we find out some Answers to the drama that has been unfolding but still are left with so many questions that are unanswered. I seriously cannot wait for the next book.
I haven't read an Olivia Cunning book in ages. I forgot how much I love to read about her rockers! This is the third go-round for Gabe "Force", the drummer of Sole Regret. His relationship with his one and only, Melanie, finds stable legs even though his band is currently broken up. This delightful romp takes us through the many changes going on with each member of the band, briefly, but focuses on Gabe, Melanie, their relationship progressing solidly, and begins to resolve their issues with Melanie's nympho friend, Nikki. I loved reading this book. It is solid in it's writing, has many wonderful sex romps, and always makes me care what happens to it's characters. Five eager start from me for this latest Sole Regret book. I wish they came closer together, but are definitely worth waiting for!
I’m always get giddy when I start a new Sole Regret novel. These boys are hawt & so much fun . This book is Gabe and Melanie’s. It’s his final book,which wraps up his story. I love Gabe! He may look like a punk rock bad***, but he has a heart of gold. The connection he & Melanie have is awesome and even though they’re totally different from each other, they work. With the band broken up, he doesn’t know what to do or where to go with his life. He’s trying so hard to get the guys back together, but Owen isn’t talking to Kellen & Jacob, who went back to his ex-wife, isn’t talking to anyone. Adam has been doting on his girl after she took a hard fall. So he hasn’t really been hanging with the guys either. It hurts my heart thinking they won’t get back together as a band. Gabe and Melanie, of course, find ways to pass the time while the band is on a hiatus, but you need to read it to find out what they do to pass the time. It’s craaaaazy good! I cannot wait to read book 12 and finally find out who Lindsay’s baby daddy is!!
2.5 stars Meh. Not my favorite book, probably one of my least favorites. I think everything has just been drug out for too long. Nikki still annoys me. Melanie annoyed me more this time around. I didn't buy into their instalove. Gabe seemed to latch on to her since everything else was falling apart but that's not how you build a lasting relationship. Basically I felt like everything was a stretch in this book.
I cannot believe I am finally done reading Gabe and Melanie's story. They are just so good, so perfect for each other I do not want their story to end! I also love the fact that there are funny parts. And that plot twist (with a predictable back story) is just hands down funny. Leave it to Gabe to put his genius to good use!
I hope the author finishes this series soon! I would love to see more of these guys!
This book made me miss this crew so much. Gabe finally got his happy ending, and though I dont totally agree with what is happening I'm so happy for them, I think that they are prolly the most normal couple of all the ones in this series, and so their ending was happy indeed, I love that GAbe found an outlet for that amazing creativity of his.
Loved it!!! Great ending to at least Gabe's story. The unknown about the band is going to eat at me but at least we know Gabe is happy and in love. I really love Melanie and Gabe. Okay Okay maybe even a little bit of Nikki in this book. Can't wait to read the next book to see what happens more with the band.
WOW! just WOW! I love all of the books in the "One Night with Sole Regret" series but this one is amazing. Its hot, sexy, and sweet all wrapped up in one. If you have been following these band members around on their tour you will love the first book in the 3rd arc which begins everyone's happily ever afters. I love Gabe and I love this book. Supremely written Olivia!!!!
Trust Me is yet another great book in the Sole Regret series. Olivia Cunning is one of the authors on my automatic purchase list. I love everything she writes!!! If you enjoy reading Rock-star romance then pick up anything by Olivia Cunning and you won’t be disappointed.
OK, if I had known this series is STILL not finished, I don't know if I would have started.
Sigh.
But I did enjoy this part of the story. Gabe is fun to read about, very sweet and thoughtful. Not really into the sex toy inventions, but ok. I wasn't as into Melanie. And Nikki is just a pain.
Hope the remainder of the Sole Regret series come soon.
I really like Gabe and Melanie. Following their romance was interesting. I really did not like Nikki at all. Just did not like her personality. I followed Gabe's story but still was hoping to see the band get back together. Guess I will read Jacobs story and hope its finished and I see the band together again.
I'm going to miss this series when it ends. Mel and Gabe are one of my all time favorites. They're the reason why I read this series. Plus of the drama that is unwrapping in these books
Gabe Banner's story finally comes to a delightful end in the 11th book of the Sole Regret series and it was everything this reader had hoped for. Throughly enjoyed this book.
Estoy tan emocionada por el final de estos libros. Gabe y Melanie son la pareja tranquila y bonita. Nikki me desespera y no la soporto, pero en este libro fue más tranquila. Quiero saber qué va a pasa con Kellen y Owen. Y qué frutas pasa en la mente de Jacob.
Gabe and Melanie get their conclusion in this book. We are finally getting some closure from Sole Regret Series. I think Gabe and Melanie are my favorite in the Sole Regret Series.
What a happy ending for Gabe "Force" . I have always loved Sole Regret and have even told my hubs I need a Sole Regret Tattoo. I sure will miss this series when it's over. These boys will stay with me forever. Not Nikki though. She makes me nuts. Olivia makes you feel like you know the whole extended family and invites you in. Even the dogs worm their way into your heart. And heat, woohoo, sexy as hell!
