Rapturous Intent #1
Noble Intent
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I think I just bought a one-way ticket there.
I’m the lead singer for the chart-topping rock band Rapturous Intent living the rock and roll dream. We’ve got the whole world at our feet—along with dozen’s of women’s panties—and yet it feels like something’s missing.
Then I run into her, a woman from my past, a woman I’ve known since we were kids, and she’s everything I’ve been craving. She knows me, really knows me and it doesn’t take long for us to fall back into our childhood friendship. Except, she’s not a girl anymore and as much as I wish I could have more with her, I’m not willing to sacrifice the friendship I’ve been so desperate for.
When one moment of weakness leads to the best night of my life, I’m forced to choose between the friend who’s become my lifeline, and the possibility that she could be so much more. I know what I should do, but what if being noble means making the biggest mistake of my life?
Noble Intent is a steamy friends to lovers romance and the first book in the Rapturous Intent Rockstar Series.

What a wake-up reminder of what happens when a father abandons his young daughters. There is a disturbing pattern of blocking the affection of any man that shows up in their future lives.
Becka's ex-boyfriend, Brad needs to be kicked in his Captain Rooster, for betraying Becka with a coworker, and then trying to break up Becka and Trent. Next, Becka's father needs to pay for his sins. Both Trent and Becka's relationship suffered because of his selfishness.
Other than that, great story!

I enjoyed the story and the characters.
It's my first Cadence Keyes read and holds a promise for more good reads in store.

a wise person once told me that these busted romance books are “junk foods for the brain” - entertaining in the moment, but you just know they’re bad for you and leave you with a painful stomach ache. this book falls into the junk food category

My first ARC review of 2022.
Have you ever felt that zappy feeling around a certain guy you've known forever, but never knew it was true love until you by happenstance run smack dab into him again a few years down the road? Did I mention he's the singer in a famous Rock Band named Rapturous Intent? My name is Becka, "Becks" if Trent is near and I'm just now realizing that my brother's best friend may just save me from my downward spiral of bad male relationships of my past.
I Love the LA Wolves Series and this book is the start of her Rapturous Intent Rock Star series.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

May contain spoilers! Noble-ish intent (3.5-4 stars)
This was my first book by the author and I enjoyed it but wasn't entirely blown away. The premise is good and I liked the characters well enough, but I felt Trent was a little too world weary for someone who I'm sure was said to be in his late twenties (exactly when did he make it big as a rock star to become so jaded with the fame and lifestyle so quickly?) and Becka's handling of her issues while he was on tour and she refused to answer his text just was just too drawn out. I liked that she was going to therapy to deal with her issues, and I appreciate that it isn't an easy or quick process. But the fact he was clearly trying so hard to remain in touch and she was a brick wall just was so unbelievable (and a little irritating with the inaction) to me. Surely she'd have responded at least once? Or he'd have stopped and decided to wait to deal with things in person? It just became this going over of the same thing over and over in her head as time passed and that was a little too much.
Anyway, it was engaging enough overall and well written so I'd like to learn more about the rest of the band in future stories. An author and series to keep an eye on for me and I'm hoping I will enjoy the stories of Trent's bandmates a little more.

Enjoyable, engaging and emotional, this love story ticks all the right boxes
I enjoyed the hockey series the author previously wrote and so recognised the characters from that series (you won’t miss anything if you don’t read these books, though they are great books in their own right)
As a set up for a new series this book is well written with enough information to set up the future books and have you thinking about the other characters and start to love/loathe them already.
I liked Becka though there were instances I wanted her to get a grip of herself. I understood where her insecurities came from but it was a repeating theme that did get mildly wearing after a while. I did love her interac too ina and relationship with her family and I really want Elise and Lainey to get stories too now though!
Trent was not your typical rock star (well expectation anyway!) but equally the lifestyle and how that might be wearing was portrayed really well and so I understood why that might be the case. His certainty in their relationship was so yummy.
Can’t wait for Miles story

Trent Bridger is recognizable anywhere. As the frontman of the world famous band, Rapturous Intent, he is a target wherever he goes because fans say and do anything for his attention. Over the years, he's become jaded toward his rockstar life, never sure if someone wants him for the fame, or for himself. He wants a woman he can trust to be his friend, not just a lover. Becka Edmonson is in charge of PR for VibeTV and has just watched as her "boyfriend" introduced his new fiancee to their co-workers. He told Becka they were on a break, but it appears that the only thing that broke was her heart. Her dad left when she was just a child and she has abandonment issues because of him, and this proves once more that she can't trust men to stay. Trent and Becka have a past, stemming from childhood when they were friends, each other's first kiss, and Trent was Becka's brother, Will's, best friend. That kiss meant a lot to Becka and she hasn't forgotten about him over all these years. As Becka fled the meeting to get away from her ex, she ran right into a human wall and, when he turned around, she saw it was her longtime friend, Trent Bridger. When he looked at her, he saw the real person she is, not any sort of a golddigger, and that's what he's been missing. They easily reconnect their friendship and, as they start spending more time together, those feelings that began long ago are still there. But if they get together and something goes wrong, will it mean the end of their friendship? After their first night of passion, Trent overthinks himself and, in the morning, tells her it was a mistake. He thinks he's preserving their friendship, but he has just signed the death warrant for a future together. This is where the book gets a little tedious and Becka a tad annoying. The "I can't do this" but "I want more" insecurities go on too long in Becka's mind. She's had no problem being honest with Trent before, so this is horribly out of character. Granted, she's been deeply affected by her father's disappearance, but this is getting so old. Becka and Trent spend the next 8 months apart while he's on tour, during which time she refused to answer his texts. I wanted to slap her silly! He has to make a grand gesture if he has any hopes of getting her back. There are multiple currents of stories woven into the main plot and they are done seamlessly. It is very well-written with vividly described characters and situations. Even though they found their HEA, it was rushed and the epilogue is but a set-up for bandmate Miles' story. A very enjoyable read!

Noble Intent is the first book of Cadence Key’s new series on the band Rapturous Intent. The book is about Trent Bridger and Becka Edmonson. Trent and Becka grew up together in a small town in Texas. He was Becka’s brother’s best friend and by association, her good friend too. The two even shared their first kiss but nothing ever came of it. He left Texas to gain fame and fortune as the lead singer of the band Rapturous Intent while she went away to college and began working as a PR rep at a production company in LA.
Years go by and they reunite. She’s struggling as she none of her relationships seem to stick. Their reunion takes place on the day that Becka learns that her former boyfriend is now engaged to another woman. As big star, Trent is world weary and is looking for some realness in his life. Not wanting to lose touch again, they begin to spend time with one another and fall back into their easy friendship. Their mutual attraction flares back to life as they spend more and more time with one another. Trent is afraid of losing her friendship if he acts on his attraction, so he tries to keep their relationship strictly platonic. Becka has fallen for Trent and wants it all – his friendship and his love. She risks it all by pushing to take their relationship to the next level physically. Unfortunately, the morning after isn’t what either of them expect. He wants to return to the friend zone while she was under the impression that they were now more. Needless to say, neither are happy and the result of the encounter leads to an 8-month separation. Can they find their way back to one another? Or is the timing just not right for Trent and Becka?
Overall, I really enjoyed the book. The story flowed easily and the characters were well developed. I was rooting for them throughout the book. There is just the right amount of heat to keep the story interesting. I am looking forward to Miles’ book, the second installment of the series.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review.

Noble Intent is the first book in the Rapturous Intent series by Cadence Keys. Trent Bridger is the lead singer of Rapturous Intent, a chart topping rock band, and lives the rock and roll dream. However, something is missing. Then he runs into Becka Edmonson, a woman he knew as a child and she knows him and they easily fall back into their childhood friendship. Soon, Trent realizes that Becka is everything he has been looking for but he is not willing to sacrifice their friendship. After one night of passion, he finds himself choosing between the friend who has grounded him and the woman who lights a fire in him. Even when Becka acknowledges she has always hoped for something more, can they take that chance? Could he have both a friend and a lover? Can his noble intent to keep his distance mean he is also making a biggest mistake?
Noble Intent is a steamy friends to lovers romance with sweet memories. The story also deals with heavy topics of addiction, parental abandonment and feelings of inadequacy with lots and lots of emotions. Connected to the author’s other series, the LA Wolves, Noble Intent grabs readers from the opening chapter and leads them on a wild ride of emotions, personal growth and romance. I loved Trent and Becka. Their playful banter was fun and the chemistry between them was undeniable. I wasn’t expecting the emotional topics but it added depth to the characters’ past and their present choices. My heart broke for both characters as they discuss their past and deal with how those events inform their present. It was definitely something I could relate to. I enjoyed the connectedness with the other series. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I highly recommend Noble Intent.
Noble Intent is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook

“Music is the most powerful force in the world. It can make you feel sad, happy, hopeful, heartbroken. Who wouldn’t be obsessed with something like that?”
This is an amazing storyline and plot, it's well written and you'll definitely be hooked from the beginning to the end of the book. This was an excellent start to a new series and it's a definitely a must-read!
Trent Bridger is a lead singer in the famous rock band Rapturous Intent. Becka Edmonson is working in the PR department for VibeTV. Becka is a smart, kind, and funny person. Trent and Becka have known each other since they were young but haven't seen each other for years; one day they bump into each other and a beautiful friendship begins. But soon they realize they have strong feelings for one another. It was great getting to know about the rest of the band: Miles, Tristan, Kasen, and Robbie. I want to read more about Tristan and if he will ever find love again.
I couldn't put this book down! I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!!

This book was absolutely phenomenal with realistic characters living in a world full of steamy romance and drama. Their hot, steamy romance wasn’t always steamy because they were best friends growing up. Life pulled them in different ways and when the rockstar ran into his girlfriend that was just a friend, their world was unraveling out of control with emotions that they never knew they had or dared to have for each other. The fear of their friendship ending was not worth the sparks of desire, lust, romance, and more when they were younger. I recommend reading this captivating journey of romance to see what happens, do they get their happy ending after they risk everything and bend all the rules? This author is extraordinary and knows how to captivate her reader’s attention and hearts. I received this book for a fair and honest review via BookFunnel.

I received the book as an ARC and was really in a rush to start and finish it so as to deliver my review on time. But it turned out it didn't cost me any effort to finish the book, as it was a great pleasure to read it and keep reading till the end. It only took me a few hours to complete it as I couldn't put it down.
I love Cadence Keys's writing style. She really has a way to introduce serious topics and deep feelings without the unnecessary drama that very often accompanies them. Noble Intent has just the right amount of seriousness, playfulness, sadness and happiness, sexiness, tenderness, grief and love. All presented in a great style.
There is that bit in the "About the Author" section that says: "Cadence Keys writes... novels full of heart heat, and HEA's" and this all is well backed up in her novel Noble Intent.

Present day, Becka’s brother Will is an NFL player and Trent is the lead singer of a famous rock band. When Becka and Trent randomly run into each other, their friendship and then attraction is a wonderful addition to their successful careers. But can they take a chance on love?
I loved all the characters in this book. I have read the football series by this author and really liked it. Becka’s brother Will has a book in that series. This is the first book in a new series and she has set up the series to be about the other members of Trent’s band. I look forward to reading them all!

This is the first in a new series and this is Trent and Becka’s story. Trent was Becka’s brothers’ best friend, and they formed a friendship as they grew up, until Trent left their hometown to follow his dreams, and Beck attended college. Now Trent is the lead singer, for a successful rock band, while Becka is working as a PR representative for a production company. When Trent and Becka cross paths again, the sparks fly, and their feeling have grown to more than friendship. This is a well written story which has challenges, humor, friendships, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

If it’s a book that includes music and romance give it to me all day long. Music is one of my biggest passions in life and always has been. This was a “rockstar” romance with two very lovable main characters. Trent is the lead singer for one of the biggest rock bands around he has everything in the world but still feels like something is missing. Then he runs into Becka after all these years. Becka who he grew up with and who knew him way before he was ever a rockstar. Is he willing to possibly mess up this friendship that he so desperately needs to see if it can be something more? Or do they just stay friends? Cute read with spice thrown in. Looking forward to reading the others in this series that follow the other band members but think this one will always be my fave.

*spoilers ahead*
I was liking the book until the silly miscommunication that broke them up for a year for no good reason. It ruined the momentum for me, I hate unnecessary miscommunication especially when it could be avoided if the characters communicated like adults and had a simple conversation. All that time apart could’ve been used to build their relationship. As if that wasn’t bad enough, there was another lack of communication and Becka pushed Trent away again without talking to him about what went wrong. It’s like the author doesn’t know how to write good conflict and conveniently blames everything on Becka’s trust issues. And of course everything is magically fixed at the end. So disappointing.

I really don't know where to start, the premises could have been beautiful.
Two friends meet again after years, he is a famous star in a bit of a crisis, looking for a friend. She just got out of yet another bad relationship.
In a very short time the two become almost inseparable, until she realizes she is in love, they spend the night together, but in the morning he says that he only wants friendship. Even if we know from his point of view that this is not the case.
And she cuts him out of her life completely. For eight months she doesn't respond to any of his messages: ok she has abandonment issues, but eight months?
And in eight months he, a super famous singer, does nothing to try to win her back?
I don't think I will continue the series.

Noble Intent is the first book in the Rapturous Intent Rockstar Series and is about Trent Bridger and Becka Edmonson. Now I did read book two first and then went back and bought this book so I could start at the beginning! So, I did know a little bit about Trent and Becka – but WOW did I love their story. I am here for the friends to lovers reads!!
Trent and Becka were friends back in their childhood and have recently bumped into each other again. Their attraction to each other is immediate and both are wanting to start to see where their feelings take them. Those feelings? – Yeah, they took a long hard bumpy road with a bunch of twists and turns before they reached a smooth path! But hey, love doesn’t come easy and not all of the ups and downs take place between the sheets!

This is the first story in the new "Rapturous Intent" rock star romance series. It is a stand alone read about Trent and Becka. Trent is the lead singer for the popular band Rapturous Intent. Becka and Trent grew up together in a small town in Texas. He was her brothers best friend and by default her friend as well. Years later these two cross paths. The chemistry is there but the friendship seems to be more important until something happens. This is such a good read. I love the characters and the plot. Let me tell you there is a teaser included in this story and lets just say I am very much looking forward to Miles' story! I think I am going to love this rock star series!

This was a rare instance where I actually liked the H far more than the h. Trent was an all around good guy and Becka was okay but she had some issues that she really needed to work through - which she did by the end but it took her far too long to get to that point. I didn't like how many miscommunications there were between these two, and they spent over half the book apart. That would have been okay if they were still working on their relationship - but they weren't. The ending felt too rushed and I didn't like that the epilogue was a set up for the next book instead of focusing on Trent and Becka.

Absolutely loved this! Becka & Trent were so great together! If you’ve read Across the Middle, you meet both Becka & Trent! Becka is Will’s younger sister and Trent is a childhood friend of theirs! I’ll admit, there were some parts of the story where Becka annoyed the heck out of me but I did end up loving her in the end, Trent was an absolute sweetheart and I’m totally in love with him😍 the heat and chemistry between these two were off the charts! I cant wait for book 2, Miles story!😍

Trent and Becka grew up together. Trent was her brothers best friend. Trent grew up to be a rock star and lost contact. Many years later and a breakup, Becks runs into Trent. Their immediate attractions to each other begins an unprecedented relationship. But with traumatic childhood tragedies, low self esteem and loneliness, suspicions and doubts enter this fun and exciting romance. Determination, trust and love pull through for this HEA.

Noble Intent felt like a comfort read. This is the kind of book that reminds me of all the times I scrolled the internet for movies where best friends fall in love. Friends to lovers is my favorite trope, and this one also had the added rockstar benefit! I love how Trent and Becka both know very early on that they want each other. The chemistry and desire is immediate, but theyre both so caught up in their own heads, dealing with trauma and insecurity, to see any of it clearly. I love the way those issues were adressed and resolved as they moved toward a healthy relationship.

Childhood friends to lovers…
My boyfriend and I grew up in the same area our whole lives. Opposites sides of the lake we lived around. Never knew we so close all those years and didn’t meet until we were in our 30s and been thru some things. It’s amazing what fate will do. But it’s also amazing the person you can become if you learn from it instead of letting it hold you back.
Loved this!!! Almost drug out too far for me in certain areas, but overall very well written and great stories!!

A great start to a new series! Becka and Trent grew up together in Texas. Years later they meet again just after she has a bad breakup. They start up their friendship again and both realize there is a spark and a chance for something more. I did find the 8 months apart with no communication a bit strange as both still felt for the other. Overall it was a good read and I’m looking forward to the next in this series.

Noble Intent is an amazing story!! This friends to lovers got me hooked from the beginning. Trent and Becka have a whole lot of history, chemistry and spice. Their romance had a few bumps in the road, but seeing them grow and understand their true feelings for each other made me love them more. I really enjoyed reading their story and meeting the other characters in the book. I can’t wait to see what Keys will write next.

This is the 3rd book I've read written by Cadence Keys; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the 1st book in the Rapturous Intent Rockstar Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Becca & Trent; they were childhood friends, now he’s a rockstar going from town to town and woman to woman until they run into each other again.
