Tin Gods Rock Stars #4
Encore
What happens during a Vegas residency doesn’t stay in Vegas. Not when you hate your rock star boss.
I don’t know what crawled up my drum tech’s ass, but I’m over Alice’s bullsh*t.
I’m too busy juggling my not-so-anonymous NA meetings, our new Vegas residency, and my dad’s Alzheimer’s demands to tiptoe around Ms. Alice.
She works for me.
So next time she sets up my drumkit, I don’t want to hear her snarky comments or muttered insults.
Her shapely little body doesn’t make up for her smart mouth.
No matter how curvy it is.
Or how pouty her full lips are. Dammit.
Just because I’m her boss and we hate each other doesn’t mean we have to play by the rules.
After all, what happens in Vegas…
Encore is the final book of the Tin Gods Rock Stars series. Grab this angsty, enemies to lovers, bad boy redemption romance between a rock star and his talented instrument tech who he might’ve screwed over in the past…only now he’s trying to be a better man.

ARC review
3.5⭐️
3.5 🌶
This book was an emotional, self healing journey for the characters in this book. Both were going through they're own set of traumas and learning to open up move out of survival mode. I love the show of support all throughout the book and the sweet way Alice and Noah became friends and grew their relationship.
This book had a really good story line and I loved how it tied in so much with the previous books in the series.

Thankyou Netgalley for the opportunity to read this arc. Expect an honest, unbiased review from me, always.
Drummers, bands, Vegas, music, friends to enemies to friends to lovers....
There are not enough words in my brain right now to properly gush about this book, but I'll do my best, bear with me, this book left my hungover and frazzled!
I just feel like this book really hit it out of the park! It's full of steam, sexual tension and open door scenes. I didn't know what to expect from this and went in with not much knowledge of the story and it delivered, beyond delivered.
The MMC is a recovering addict trying to find himself again one year into his sobriety journey and the FMC is a badass, takes no flack, witty drummer who also loved deeply. She had been wronged by people she loved before abd so she's also on a journey to finding her place. It honestly such a good read and satisfying HEA. Can be read as a standalone despite it actually being book 4 in a series.

Opposites to friendemy to HEA!
Noah and Alice might be two of the most headstrong and endearing couple in the Tin Gods Rock series. The slow burn that was often so frustrating because I know Gillian Archer will have me loving these two in the end. I have become a huge fan of this author. The author writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in single POV this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.
Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Loved Noah’s story - Didn’t want it to end!
I absolutely loved this series and cannot wait to read more from Gillian Archer!
Noah & Alice have explosive chemistry throughout the entire book - the way the express that passion changes in the best of ways!
If you enjoy a story with wonderful angst, misunderstandings, and a happily ever after I think you will love this book!
Noah has demons he is battling and he gets help finding a healthy way to learning to love and allowing his defenses to come down. I absolutely loved the addition of a Great Dane who is also in need of love and how Alice helps Noah on his journey to his future 4-legged buddy.
Overall rating 5 Stars with level 5 heat/passion.
If you’re like me once you start reading this book you won’t be able to put it down until you reach the satisfying end!

Noah and Alice epitomize the enemies to friends to lovers relationship superbly , creating the perfect send off For the author’s Tin Gods rocker romance series. I received an advanced reader copy of this book for free from NetGalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts are my own.
Noah was living up the rockstar life until he crashed rock bottom. The author beautifully shows the struggles of fame and addiction. At first I thought it would be impossible for me to like Noah as his attitude, toward Alice in particular, was definitely off putting, but seeing him struggle to find his footing soon had me crying for him, while silently cheering him on.
Alice has also been burned by her past and the actions of other, but her slow to trust nature made her more relatable. The fact that these two slowly built their relationship made the story more realistic, especially given Noah’s early on moodiness, and had me applauding the nuances the author created to make strong foundation for these two. Don’t worry the steaminess that was rampant through the series is still present, but the steamy scenes started more towards the second half of the book (although the attraction is apparent early on).
I also love that the found family aspect that occurs throughout the book, with each other and their friends, is strong. Those familiar with the series will be happy to see many a familiar faces, but you can enjoy this book on its own ( although I do recommend the whole series). There is also a surprise suspense element that shocked me right up to the grand reveal.
This was a great sendoff for the series. 5 stars

Okay sooo… *Encore* 🎸 was such a great ride! This book gave me all the angsty enemies-to-lovers vibes, and I was hooked from page one.🌸
Alice and Noah legit could not stand each other at first — all the snark, side-eye, and tension?? Whew. It was *chef’s kiss*💋 perfection. She’s his drum tech🥁, he’s her rockstar boss🎸, and the way they just kept clashing?? Pure entertainment. But also… you could totally tell there was something simmering under all that attitude.
When things finally started to shift, I was so into it. Noah going from annoyed to *obsessed* with Alice was *everything*. Like, the man could not stop thinking about her. And the best part? He didn’t try to hide it. Major softie energy under all that rockstar swagger.🧸
And can we talk about their dog DJ?? Cutest. Geat dane. Ever. 🐕🦺 He totally stole every scene he was in and gave the story such a cozy, warm vibe. Every time things started to heat up between Alice and Noah, DJ magically showed up like “nope, not on my watch.”😂. It was both adorable and hilarious. Their fluffy little chaperone totally had main character energy.🐕
The romance had its steamy moments (oh yes it did 🔥), but also some really heartfelt ones. Noah’s journey through addiction recovery and dealing with his dad’s Alzheimer’s added so much depth. It wasn’t just about romance — it was about healing, growing, and second chances.🩷

"I'd changed my mind about a whole long list of things-her being at the very top."
In this fourth and last book, it's finally drummer Noah's turn and just like everything else in his life, his love story is messy and full of strong emotions and complications. Noah has been through so much, most especially his recovery from addiction plus dealing with his dad’s Alzheimer’s. Not that this necessarily excuses his poor behavior.
Alice was a bit of a mystery before this book and as we slowly got to know her I found myself admiring her strength. She's also overcome a lot in life and it just made her stronger.
This book is a complete enemies to lovers. I mean, at the beginning these two legit couldn't stand each other. It was enjoyable if a bit painful, to watch them change and eventually fall in love. They make an amazing couple that balance each other and have mad chemistry.
I'm kind of sad to see the series end as I've really loved them all. But Encore, like it's title says, is the perfect ending to a perfectly wonderful set of books. And, while you can technically read Encore as a standalone it's filled with spoilers for the other books, so I recommend you read them all in order.

Tin Gods Book 4
When I tell you I have been thinking about what Noahs story was going to bring all the way in book 1, Rockstar, I was certainly not disappointed!
Encore follows Tin Gods drummer Noah Hawker, following straight on from the events of Ballad and how everything his drum tech, Alice Rose, that she says and does annoys him.... until one day it doesn't.
This entire series deserves a standing ovation! It brings angsty romances to another level! As always I love seeing the leads from the previous books as well as the other characters again, and seeing how their lives have progressed from their own stories.
Could I read another 4 books about this crazy found family, yes, yes I could, all 4 of the Tin Gods as well as their ladies are full of depth and are so much fun to explore. I cannot wait to see what Gillian does next.
I would highly recommend this entire series for anyone who is ready to dive into their Rockstar Romance Era! For fans of Angsty Rockstar Romances, Found Family, Enemies to Lovers, Bad Boy Redemption, and a delicious helping of Spicy Goodness.

A great ending to a fabulous series
I've been waiting for Noah's story ... I knew that it had to be someone strong to tame him. Alice may have been tiny, but she packed a powerful punch and she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself ... even to Noah. Noah kinda made me mad at the beginning ... he wasn't the fun loving guy he was in the precious books. He was so mean to Alice, when in reality she probably saved him my ODing. I'm sorry this series is over and I can't wait to see what Ms. Archer has in store next ... maybe The Monarchs.
Noah is the drummer for the rock band Tin Gods. He's been sober for a year and is still struggling. He takes it out on his drum tech Alice as she's the person who found the drugs he stashed resulting in his sobriety. Alice can handle anything Noah throws her way .. she's been through much worse between foster care and her previous band. When Noah's bandmates get in is face about the way he's treating Alice, he has a change of heart. When he actually looks at her, he realizes she is stronger than he could ever be ... and he realizes that he's attracted to her.

Toward the end of the Tin Gods World Tour, Alice, who is a drum tech for drummer Noah Hawker, finds a stash of drugs in his kit. Alice saved the tour from a customs nightmare but Noah was not happy with her alerting the rest of the band to his problem. Stateside, the Tin Gods are starting a Vegas residency. Alice is using her time to play and practice with her own band outside of her Tin Gods responsibilities. The band is trying to rehab Noah's image, they start a contest to have Noah publicly date contest winners. Once Noah sees Alice's band play his eyes open - to how good she is, and how horrible he's been to her since trying to stay sober. All of a sudden playing the field is not cutting it for Noah. He only wants to get to know Alice better. As they navigate their new working relationship, they have more than work on their minds.
I loved this story for Noah! He was always the once looking after the others and then let his demons take hold. Noah and Alice have great chemistry.
While it is a standalone - this book is better when read as part of the series.

Thank you Naughty Nook PR for giving me an ARC of Encore, all opinions are honest and my own.
Three words. NOAH FREAKIN
HAWKER. Ugh, add him to the fictional boyfriend list 😍
This book is a part of the Tin Gods Rockstar series, but can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read the first three of this series but after reading this, I think I’m going to have to!
This one is centered around Alice Rose, the drum tech/roadie for the Tin Gods, and she focuses on making sure Noah Hawker’s drums are set up and good to go for shows. In the beginning, Alice and Noah have a very rocky work relationship, and this is likely due to Noah being sober and going through some tough situations in his life. Like he was a Grade-A asshole to Alice for no reason!
After coming to terms with sobriety, Noah and Alice realize they’re more alike than they thought. Two broken people just trying to live day-by-day with their demons clawing at them.
I’m so in love with Noah and Alice’s love story! I love a good enemies to lovers, workplace romance and this one was nothing short of amazing 🖤

I wasn't sure how Encore was going to play out. We've seen drummer Noah battling some demons in previous books when drugs really took over. He seems to be back on the straight and narrow now, but is letting his drum tech Alice take all of the heat and anger that he's got. Fortunately, she's more than capable of dealing with him and perhaps that anger is hiding something different...
I loved Noah and Alice together. She's strong and capable. She can match him at every turn and is exactly what he needs. Fortunately, he's also exactly what she needs. He might be the rock star, but he has a vulnerable side and can't help but think that he's not good enough for her. Over time, she realises that he really needs to know what he means to her and I loved watching them become a 'real' couple.
This was a great final book to this enjoyable series. I'm just a bit sad that the Tin Gods series has come to an end.

This is the perfect way to wrap up the series. Noah has made so many changes and he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He’s been abhorrent to the one person who should never have been blamed for his mistakes, and he’s seeing that he really did make huge mistakes in that arena. But can he truly apologize and make up for them?
Alice has been a bit of a mystery. We knew her before. I wondered what her story was. And wow, it’s a bit painful. She’s used to being taken advantage of and discarded and it’s made her isolated her heart to keep from being hurt again. But Noah manages to get past her walls and is working hard on proving that he’s so much more than he’s been in the last year or so to her.
These two have a great story to share. A little angsty. A little bittersweet. A lot hopeful. And the way that they make it all work? Well, that’s just proof that their magic was meant to work together.

Encore is a story that completely blew my pants off. I had no expectations walking into this story and honestly I had a hard time sitting down with it for whatever reason. When I tell you that once I started reading I could not stop, that was an understatement. Noah and Alice are the perfect couple. How they get there though is anything but conventional. This enemies to lovers romance is filled with twists and turns that keeps you at the edge of your seat. The story starts with Noah lashing out at Alice, treating her like the bad guy when in reality he is the one responsible for his own actions. Once he realizes this he pours himself into Alice, and you realize what a good guy he is. What I love about this story is for once the FMC is also a talented musician! She works her butt off for music and it really pays. There’s a little drama and intrigue. This story goes from enemies to touch her and croak in the spiciest most delicious way.

While this can be read as a standalone with no problem, this is part of the Tin Gods series. I started with this one but will definitely be picking up the rest because the banter? Yum.
Focusing on Noah, a drummer with a substance whose problem, and Alice, his drum tech who narced on him to their tour manager when she finds his stash in a drummer while on tour in another city. He *hates* her until his sponsor points out that in making his amends for Narcotics Anonymous, he left Alice off his list.
The banter and the push/pull between these two cannot be beat. He falls first, and hard at that. Alice is more skittish due to a past she doesn't like to talk about. I just love their story.
Try this one if you're into protective MMCs that know what they want and convince the FMC to try with them.

With Encore, the last member of the rock band Tingod finally falls. Clean and sober, yet still full of emotions, he wanders in search of himself while fighting daily battles against the demons of his past, determined not to slip back into old habits. Enter Alice—the strong-willed woman who refuses to tolerate rude behavior, stands up for herself and her friends, and becomes the one person able to challenge him. He’s hot, magnetic, and utterly frustrating—but everything changes when a genuine apology sparks hidden flames between them.
The chemistry between them smolders in secret, kept under wraps to avoid conflicting loyalties, yet impossible to ignore. I especially loved the “make it or break it” moment, where the author once again delivers an excellent twist that raises the stakes and keeps the reader hooked. A truly engaging addition to the series.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley.

wow
Wow, just wow! Alice had a really rough childhood growing up in the system. Noah, on the other hand, had a normal childhood with good supportive parents. He always wanted to be a drummer and was able to bring that to life. Alice was accepted to Juilliard, but had to turn it down because she couldn’t afford to go. She loved her job as a drum tech for Tin Gods. she and Nolan started with a love-hate relationship. Noah was abusing drugs and alcohol and Alice wouldn’t put up with it. He blamed her for all his problems. When he got sober things turned around. They realized their attraction and acted upon it. I loved each of the band members, his and hers. I love the way they all support each other and work together. Hope there will be more from these characters.

Noah was such an a$$hole at the start and I loved his journey towards becoming a better man, with him putting in so much effort to make amends. This includes manning up to apologize to Alice, and supporting her career.
As he works on becoming his better self, Alice is also on a new trajectory in life, as she starts a new band with her friends. But her past comes back to haunt her.
I totally enjoyed the found family vibes here with both Noah and Alice finding their “family” through work and through each other. This was also the first time I am reading this author and I am already looking forward to reading her other books.

4 1/2 STARS!
The emotional conclusion to the Tin Gods Rock Stars series was top notch! I really enjoyed seeing Noah redeemed and getting to know Alice's backstory. I wanted a little more camaraderie of the band gathering around outside of being on stage. There were definitely some wholes in the storyline that could have used some development (his fam, the record label change, etc) but overall it was a great story and left me happy for them all. I only wish there were more members so we could keep it going! Heartwarming friendships, sassy connections and so much spice and drama to sink your teeth into.

Although the fourth in a series, this fun read can easily stand on its own. Newly sober rock star Noah has a lot of friction with his drum tech Alice. She's too busy working with her own band to wonder much why he's being such a jerk. Several kinds of angst, good emotional healing, and a great Dane adopted from the pound later and they're sharing friction of a whole other kind. For all its frothy readability, the book also delivers some subtle commentary on the difference between having emotional troubles and just being a creepy jerk.

This is really a great Series and I wished it would continue but we ran out of Band-members. I enjoyed Noah and Alice's storyline, there was plenty of sexual tension between them and it also showed the real struggle of somebody dealing with sobriety. I will definitely re-read the series again since I pretty much devoured it the first time around. Very entertaining and something to keep you warm on cold nights.

I love this author although this is the first Tin Rock Stars book I've read! I enjoyed the storyline of a recovering drug addict and his foster care raised drum tech. The angst between them and the slow turn to love took up almost half of the book, but it was necessary and so well written. It did end in a HEA but not without ups and downs. Looking forward to Gillian's next book!

This can’t be the end!! I loved this whole series but it was especially poignant to see Noah get his HEA! I definitely recommend all the Tin Gods books! Fingers crossed that Ms Archer will be writing about the Tattered Monarchs next!

I totally loved this book because of Alice. I got I kick out of the things she said and did when she was mouthing off to Noah. Noah did eventually dig himself out of the hole he made and I had to give him some grace since he was in such a dark place. I know how hard that is to overcome.

I absolutely loved this book! I have never read any of the previous books but this book sold the whole series for me. It was funny but also had a lot of heart. Im big of rockband romances and this definitely is one to read. 5/5 stars.
