I absolutely adore this alternative cover. So pleased to have a signed copy on my bookshelf alongside the original.

December 2023 review -

I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy a story greater than the first time reading it, but I have been proved wrong. I feel this reread of Dirty Rock had me discovering and therefore understanding so much more about Rhett and Julia. This truly is a phenomenal story. I am so pleased I chose to reacquaint myself with the bad boy of rock and his squeaky-clean publicist.

March 2020 review -

We have already met the frontman of Youth Gone Wild in Cherry Beats. I thought I knew Rhett Ryan but I was wrong. Strap yourself in, hold on tight and prepare to get to know the real man beneath this Rock God’s public persona…. you are in for an emotional and enthralling ride.

Rhett Ryan has got everything that many men yearn for. Good looks; Success and a constant flow of women who all want their moment with the bad boy of rock (I really can’t blame them!). He’s the lead singer of one of the biggest rock bands and has the world at his feet. He is cocky, arrogant and wants for nothing….. that is until Julia Speed catches his eye.

Julia is strong, squeaky-clean, hardworking and ambitious. She likes to be in control and is respected by many. For three years she’s been employed as the band’s publicist and she knows Rhett better than himself. Rhett never imagined that he would find any woman who would interest him to consider having something more than just a one night stand with and even though he knows that she is forbidden, nothing is going to dissuade him from pursuing Julia because what he wants, he usually gets….. and this time he has set his sights on her.

I’m not going to lie, I do love a bad boy Rockstar. What I didn’t expect was to start handing over pieces of my heart to Rhett in the very first chapter of this book. I absolutely loved getting to know the real Rhett and witness him transform before my very eyes. Once you get to know Julia you can see just how perfect she is for Rhett and I really didn't want anything to mess up this chance of them both finding their HEAs together because I thought he was as equally perfect for her too. I am certain that you will find yourself rooting for them from the word go (I know I certainly was). Julia is an incredible person who I admire immensely and I have really enjoyed discovering the woman who hides behind a clipboard and mobile phone.


Rhett’s story is one not to be missed. Vicki James has penned yet another epic read! Dirty Rock is written from Rhett's POV which is perfect that the songwriter tells us his incredible story in his own amazing words, expressing his feelings and thoughts. I just know you are going to love the push and pull dynamics between Rhett and Julia. I must warn you that the chemistry between them is off the charts!!

You will love being back on the road with Youth Gone Wild. Rhett always puts on one hell of a performance on his stage, now I am recommending that you sit back and enjoy a show that unveils a personal life that he never expected to be starring in.
