Rock Candy #3
Rock Dirty
As one of the hottest drummers in the world, Tucker “The F***er” Benning lives life hard. But when his band’s world tour is cancelled, Tucker finds himself stuck in an airport with no destination in mind…until he spots a red-headed knockout hurrying through the airport on her way to Paris, France. She’s classy, sexy, and turns heads. Why not buy a first class ticket and follow her? That’s when the real fun begins.
Dominique “Nikki” Lorens, heiress to her mother’s magazine empire, is headed to Paris, hoping to leave behind her celebutante tabloid reputation and make a new name for herself. She’s amused when the famous Tucker Benning sits next to her and starts flirting—could he BE any more of a rock star? But when he presents a naughty proposal, she figures why not have one last wild experience before settling down?
Once they land in Paris, though, Nikki makes a stand—no more naughty stuff. She has a fresh reputation to build, and being seen with Tucker won’t help. Yet Tucker’s bad boy allure is impossible to resist and so is his softer side, which makes her feel cherished and worthy. Tucker has a decision to make—does he fight for his band, or does he commit to the woman he’s come to care about, a woman who longs for love and stability his rock star lifestyle can’t give?
Tucker’s life has always been about fame, fun, and f***ing around. But now Nikki needs him and he’ll do whatever it takes to win her heart…including fighting dirty. Because love is worth risking everything.

Another really sweet rockstar romance. Tucker and Nikki both had the tendency to be wild, but for Nikki it’s a well kept secret. On the outside she’s the epitome of well put together, fashion forward and in the inside she’s a hot mess seeking everyone’s approval, with serious mommy issues.
But this woman not only caught Tucker’s eye in passing but eventually his heart. It was wonderful to see him change into a more responsible, adult version of himself for Nikki. And with Tucker’s support and love, Nikki found her true self as well.

I just knew Tucker was going to fall! After his antics and attitude towards Liam and Abby, I knew he was going to fall and fall hard. And he did. I can't wait for Corbin's story now!!

A little let down, this book is supposed to be Tucker's book but it's really all about Nikki.....

Nikki is on a mission to prove she's more than tabloid fodder. So she hops on a plane with plans to start fresh. Little does she know temptation has her in it's sites and will prove hard to resist. Tucker thrives on his bad boy rocker image. He works hard and parties harder, but will a chance meeting with an alluring stranger get him to change his ways. In a world where image is everything, two people are about to find that it's what the heart feels that really matters. Rock Dirty plays hard on the surface, but underneath all the innuendos and wicked behavior is a genuine meeting of two souls searching for their way home.

Okay
Guess it’s a book for young adults as I struggled to like lead female character and her toxic behaviour. She was older he was younger but more mature. That said it was okay but not a series I’d look for.

Warm
Good story, even touching on serious health issues, but not detracting from what was being presented. Warm characters. Good author.

Tucker ist gerade nicht der besten Laune. Denn die Welttournee wurde abgesagt. Doch auf dem Flughafen sieht er eine umwerfende Rothaarige Frau und folgt ihr. Dominique ist auf den Weg nach Paris um ihre eigene Collection zu zeigen und sich einen eigenen Namen zu machen. Sie will nicht mehr im Schatten ihrer berühmten Mutter stehen.
Tucker und Nikki sind schon ein Paar, das eine Achterbahnfahrt pro Tag hinbekommt. Es ist eine romantisch, gefühlvolle und humorvolle Liebesgeschichte. Tucker zeigt von Anfang an sein wahres Gesicht. Er ist einfach nur er selbst. Von Dominique "Nikki" bekommt man immer wieder ein Stück ihres wahren ich zu sehen. Sie versteckt sich hinter der Maske von erfolgreiche Modedesignerin, die Kunstwerke erschafft. Man merkt schnell das Nikki so einiges zu verarbeiten hat und auch, dass Tucker ihr die Kraft gibt. Es wird spannend, als einiges Gleichzeit passiert. Jetzt merkt man wie stark eigentlich die Liebe zwischen ihnen ist. Kann es ein Happy End geben? Man liest voller Spannung weiter.

Tucker is rough around the edges but something in him desires love. An airport is apparently where he finds it, with Nikki. She's a fashion designer, working with shoes, under extreme stress from her overly critical mother and an upcoming fashion show. Tucker understands how people can be judgmental and works with Nikki to help her. After suffering years of emotional abuse from her mother Nikki has suffered the final straw. The underlying story is deep and emotional with a thick layer of hot steamy sex, something that seems to soothe them both. The band, Point Break, has four musicians with each getting their own novel. There will be two more standalone novels in this series. As part of the author's review team I was given a copy for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this, it was a focused story that addressed some real life issues, despite the Rock Star/Fashion designer backdrop. Whilst reading the characters could have just been regular everyday people with their own issues. The ending was great and demonstrated love and friendship in its greatest fashion. Abbie came across as a little bit too domineering for my liking and actually I wanted her to leave the boys to have some time alone!

Yes...
Well she did it again. Virna DePaul managed to make the second book in her series even better than the first. Truly amazing... this series is a must read!

Tucker is not the f*cker he shows every one, and we see it with how sweet and concerned he is with Niki. she is a shoe designer pushing the norms and limits just to please her never happy mother. He is hoping his rocker career is not over and decides to follow her to Paris after seeing her in the airport. hot sex, sweet and intense scenes. a little disturbing in how Niki deals with things when she is feeling low, sad and angry but Tucker shows her that even though he does get scared, he's got her back.
