Electric Wounds
In the world of rock and roll, chaos reigns supreme. Electric Wounds, a band teetering on the edge of greatness and self-destruction, has one last chance to reclaim their glory. Enter Lily Thompson, a young, ambitious college graduate hired to keep the band in line during their tumultuous tour.
Thrown into the raw energy and reckless abandon, Lily must navigate the dark allure of four super sexy and tattooed rockstars. Jackson “Jax” Ryder, the brooding lead singer, is battling his demons and an unexpected attraction to Lily. Marcus Hayes, the charming guitarist, sees her as a new challenge. Dylan Miller, the playful drummer, teases her with his easygoing nature. And Enzo Rossi, the intense bassist, hides his vulnerabilities behind a mask of arrogance.
As Lily struggles to manage the band’s wild antics and conflicting personalities, she finds herself drawn to each of them in different ways. The sexual tension is electric, the stakes are high, and the music is louder than ever.
Will Lily tame the rock gods of Electric Wounds, or will she be consumed by the fire of their passion? In a world where the spotlight can be both blinding and revealing, Lily must decide if she's ready to risk everything for a chance at love with the men who live and breathe rock and roll.
Electric Wounds is a contemporary new adult reverse harem series, which means the leading lady has several love interests and never has to choose in order to find her HEA. This is book one out of two in the Rockin' Love Duet and does end on a cliffhanger.

Life in Rock and Roll
With new band Electric Wounds on the ropes of either making it big or self-destruction Lily is brought on board to keep these guys together on their tour. Well, let’s just say that she did that and more! Everyone of the band members brings something different to the table and each one of them captures Lily’s attention.
This was a why choose, rock and roll book and a first time author for me. I cannot wait to see what she brings next.

I really liked this one -- it was a little chaotic and messy but so so good. I liked that the relationships between the men and the men and Lily weren't immediately perfect. Can't wait to read book 2

Spicy Rockstar romance
90% spice and 10% plot. Not a bad thing. So a little unrealistic with a fresh out of school female being shoved onto a tour bus of four men ranging from mid 20s to 30. Also, have they never heard of condoms? No talk about it at all, no conversation of "i want to feel you/ I'm clean/I've never had sex with anyone without one before. Just raw dogging it from the get go. Like if she doesn't end up massively pregnant by the end of this, I call folly. Onto the good, the spice is spicing and even though there is bare minimum of her getting to know the guys, it is what it is. So if you want something that is smut heavy and plot light that is a reverse harem Rockstar romance, this is a perfect palate cleanser from the heavier darker stuff. Some mentioning of drug abuse and insinuations of more issues abroad among the guys, but I guess we will eventually know. Who knows, maybe our girl will get around to actually getting to know the guys beyond their beds and them comforting her and gravitating towards her and maybe the guys will actually give her something beyond their drum sticks. 4/5 stars.

Wow! James is a new author to me and I loved the start of this series. Jax, the main singer struggles with addiction and the band is fighting to overcome his past mistakes. Enter Lily, a new grad that doesn't quite know how she got the job.
I love the fun moments with the band, the tension, the threads of jealousy, and the overall found family vibes. This definitely gave good rockstars on the road moments, but still kept it spicy and interesting. Definitely a fun book and am excited to read the next one.

I found this book from an ad on FB and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm SUPER glad that I picked it up. I love James writing style and I was instantly drawn to the characters in the band. I feel like we got to experience life on the road with them, but I like that it wasn't boring or tedious.
The book had some super fun group moments and plenty of spice without instalove. Definitely recommend and James has become an immediate add to cart author for me.

"Electric Wounds" is the first book in a contemporary rockstar 'why choose' duet, and I believe the debut of this new author. It takes us on tour with four rockstars, their new tour manager and a bunch of crew that's mainly present in the background. I like the fact it shows us going on tour isn't as glamoureus as some people might think it is, and how expectations of the record company can make the whole thing even harder as it already is. The author really chose to focus on the band aspects and everything that's involved in going on tour, and I like the fact the rockstar elements are such a big part of the story.
What I miss, however, is a true storyline. "Electric Wounds" is pretty spicy, and at times it felt like the story was secondary to that, only providing the right background to connect every scene with each other. Our fmc is supposed to guide the band through their tour, but I honestly have no clue what she actually does besides warm their beds. It might have made more sense if she was a part of the tour from the start, but now it felt as if she was brought on because there were issues, while never explaining what those issues were. The five main characters stay quite superficial as well, and I miss a bit of character building to give them a real personality.
I do believe this author has potential; I loved the idea of this duet, and how the author stays true to the things readers want to see in a rockstar romance. I just hope book two might bring a bit more story to level out the spice.

Did Not Finish
November 12, 2024I DNF’d this at 49% because it felt…not genuine. I don’t know how else to explain it. I’ve read other rockstar romance books and with this one I just wasn’t convinced of the chemistry and their days seemed repetitive.

Love me a rockstar romance!
Add in that it’s reverse harem? Sign me up!
Loved the beginning for this duet.
Immediately starting on the next book.

I like this authors writing style, but the plot and set up were horrendous. You’re telling me a record company sent a fresh out of college woman to babysit a band of 4(or was it 5?) men? AND she was staying in the same bus as them? Just not even a flicker of reality in that.
I also couldn’t take how childish they all acted. I got to their game of “dare of dare” and finally DNF. So they do drugs and drink alcohol and act all hardcore, but then also act childish at other times? I am not following this in congruence of personality.
DNF @ 24%. The only reason it’s 2 star and not 1 is because I do like the writing style. Just wish she had a better plot and set up. Couldn’t even tell you what the plot was other than girl lives on your bus with rockstars.

I didn’t like this one. I felt like I was just all over the place. It was like insta love and jealousy everywhere. And Jax just blaming himself for everything. I don’t think I’m going to read the next book.

Couldn’t get into it, seemed “off” I like to use whispersync and the narrator was awful, come to find out it’s AI, which makes me wonder how much the author actually wrote vs having AI do that too. I don’t DNF often but after trying through most of the book I just couldn’t do it anymore.

SO GOOD! I saw an ad for this book and picked it up on a whim, I've added a bunch of James books to my TBR now based on this one book. Love it
