Another great rockstar read from K.E.Osborn
I've read the previous books and now love the next generation, looks like I'm going to be starting a new series.
This is a coming of age plot, kids of famous rockstars finding their own way into the business and the highs and lows of being a star that goes with it.
At the beginning of this read there is a full list of the characters and who is related to whom from previous books this was helpful but it was so well written I eased into it not needing this as it mentioned it in the plot e.g my cousin Caleb walked in (you get my meaning) but thoughtful anyway to help the reader who may not have read previous books.
Characters- I thought Aston was a BBf this is a couple who are meant to be together it was so sweet, romantic he's loved her forever but Annie is a total Brat seriously her character is frustrating but it all adds to the angst you can't love every character.
Its a great Rockstar read,a friends to lovers or childhood friends to lovers story a great coming of age plot with teenage tantrums and dramas mainly based around Annie rather that Aston focusing on her her struggles with relationships, her history of adoption and learning to love herself in order to love others as well as dealing with her new group tour and negative publicity.
Full of highs and lows and omg moments loved it

*** Gifted in exchange for an honest review***
I loved the first series about the original SLAYED band and, and was eager to read this new series which would follow on featuring the kids of the Group members.
Unfortunately I did not gel with Annie at all, I did carry on till the end but unlike others who have read and reviewed, all I could do was get annoyed with her toddler tantrum ways and my scoring reflects this.
I know she is meant to be a troubled girl, but unfortunately for me she just came over as very 1 dimensional and it really hindered my enjoyment of the story.
The other band members and Annie's younger sister Ella seemed so more mature and this also added to Annie being such a unlikeable character... even at the end I didnt feel as if I connected with her.
Some of the situations in this book could have been tightened up, to make the story more streamlined and enjoyable, but I have not marked this down - I was after all reading an arc.
What I can see is that this series will get stronger as Caleb would have a very interesting story to tell, with his poverty and illness stricken beginnings, which we first encountered in Get Your Rocks Off?
Because I have read the other books by Ms Osborn, and I liked the other characters, I am not ready to give up on this series, and hopefully now that Annie has worked through her problems she will act her age in the next book in the series.
As to Aston who is the young lad who has loved Annie all his life... he deserved a medal for putting up with her neurotic ways, and I am sure that the quiet Ella will have a good story to tell if it involves 'Danger' the lead from STAKED's Support band.

It all started with The Rock God series and now the next generation are rocking it out too. Colt and Lia finally had their HEA and now their adopted daughter Annie has an adventure of her own. Annie is a crazy teen full of attitude and pouty moments but her best friend Aston is always there to pick up the pieces. So from Slayed comes Staked the next big thing in the music industry. They are young and talented just like their parents. Annie is lucky to have an amazingly supportive family but being the daughter of Colt and Lia just isn't enough she needs to know more.
This story had me screaming, crying and laughing. Osborn is an amazing author and has produced another five star book, so glad this is another series that will continue my journey with these RockGods.

The kids of the famous rockers of the band Slayed are growing up.
Annie is the adopted daughter of Lia and Colt. Growing up the child of famous parents is no easy task. Knowing you are adopted and your parents didn’t want you makes life extremely tough.
Annie doesn’t thinks she deserves to be loved and throws herself into her music and her band Staked. Her constant rock is her best friend Aston. He has been by her side all her life.
Aston has been in love with Annie for a long. He has been waiting for the right time to tell her how he feels. He knows she is confused and weary about her feelings but he can’t wait any longer.
At first Annie resists because she doesn’t want anything to get in the way of her band making it big. But as time goes by, her feelings become stronger and she can’t fight them any more. She loves him too.
When Annie’s real mother comes back into the picture all hell breaks loose. The confidence Annie has developed is now shattered.
I loved this story. It gave insight into the mind of someone who is adopted and their point of view. Granted these aren’t the feelings of all adopted kids but I am sure there are a lot of similarities.
I enjoyed reading more about the characters from the first series. I love Lia and Colt.
I thought the book was a little slow at first with how young the characters are when the story started, but it really picked up and the ending was great!
I definitely recommend this book to read!

Spoiler alert
In tried really hard to like this story. It just doesn't make any sense. I truly sympathise with men who are unlucky enough to be attracted to this kind of crazy. The first trouble I had with the story was a heterosexual teenage girl who wasn't into boys. Not impossible but unlikely and hard to swallow. So she finally decides to give a relationship with her BEST FRIEND a try. A year in she decides he's a liar because he said he loves her!?!? Give me a break!!! No woman in a relationship want to live without those words. The very next day after dumping him for LOVING HER she has the gall to tell him "don't be so dramatic". I don't know if I can finish this one. I'm sure there is some sort of realization and a happy ending but, for now, I've hit my limit for implausibly unrealistic story lines.

The final read of 2025, 420 plus pages for a romantic novel is a lot, it's not boring either , loved intimacy scenes and overall story but it is frustrating every time Annie Slade goes mad, overall an average read.

**Received ARC in exchange for an honest review**
Rock Solid is a story about Annie and how she copes with life. Annie is one of two adopted children to rock star Colt and his wife, Lia. Elle, her adopted sister, Aston, her best friend, Caleb, her cousin, and Chad, a close family friend, are the members of the band Staked. This book is mostly about Annie and her life, but through her eyes we also get to see Staked and how they form and take off as a real rock band with a bright future. Not only do we get to see Annie’s life unfold, we also get to see the other band members’ lives and how Annie perceives how they are dealing with the pressures of fame and relationships.
I actually really liked this book. I thought it was a good representation of real life relationships and issues. The story revolves around Annie and throughout the book you get to hear her thoughts and feelings on the situations occurring around her. Since Annie is adopted, she has a lot of unresolved feelings of feeling unwanted and unlovable. Due to these deep rooted feelings, it causes her issues as she learns to grow and fall in love. She makes many mistakes, but is able to learn from them and move on with her life. This book does a lot of time jumping. It starts off with Annie and Aston as kids and time jumps several times. Usually, I do not like books with a lot of time jumps, but the author did a nice job of using the time jumps to further the story line. With that being said, I believe these time jumps should have been labeled better as sometimes I was not sure how much time had passed. Also, the author time jumped from the beginning of Annie and Aston’s relationship to one year later, which I felt made me miss out on all that honeymoon, first falling in love feelings.
I really liked how the author addressed the issues of Annie’s self-esteem and self-destructive ways. These are real issues that some kids face and I feel the author did a great job of accurately representing these kids. I think that having Annie’s father be portrayed as overbearing was a fair representation as well as I could see a famous rock star being overly strict with his daughters out of fear. What I loved most about this book is Annie’s open relationship with her mother. I really enjoy a good mother-daughter relationship. The main plot of this book, of course, is the love story between Annie and Aston. I think their love story is so sweet. They started off as childhood friends and it grew into something more. They are many issues along the way and had to get over situations that were tough, but I really enjoyed to read about their love story. There were many times that the author was able to make me feel what Annie was feeling, even to the point that I teared up. That is saying a lot since I rarely even tear up at a book. I really enjoyed how sweet and attentive Aston was towards Annie. To showcase this, I wanted to include a couple of my favorite quotes from the book:
“I want to take my time with you, and cherish your body by worshipping you and the ground you walk on. You mean everything to me and I do not want to f**k this up by moving too quickly.” Ashton to Annie
“Annie you deserve to be shown how much I love you. And all this…” he waves his hands around, “all this doesn’t even begin to show you how deeply and utterly in love with you I am, and have always been.” Ashton to Annie.
Overall, I would rate this book 4 stars. I really enjoyed the story line and was able to get into the book, but felt that it could use some minor adjustments to make the story better.

Reviewed by Tracey Lou Parker on behalf of Kindle Friends Forever.
Another great book from the author K E Osborn. I was quite looking forward to catching up with the previous characters from Off Your Rocker and Get Your Rocks Off, and I wasn't in the least bit disappointed.
The next generation is exactly that. Rock Solid follows the trials and tribulations of the children of the members of the Rock Group, Slayed. Lead singer, Colt, and his wife Lia, went on to have two adopted children Annie, fondly known as Lennox and their younger daughter, Ella. Johnny is also a member of Slayed and his wife, Anna had one child. A son, Aston.
Rock Solid tells the story of Annie and Aston and their band Staked which consisted of children of the rock band Slayed. From an early age Annie and Aston had always been inseparable.
Annie who came with a quick fire temper, is strong headed and relentless when something makes her angry or upset. Aston, her best friend, was one of only two people that could calm her down. The other being her younger sister, Ella. The connection between these two characters was shown throughout the book and as the years went on, you could tell that Aston felt more than just friendship.
When Annie realised that she felt more than just friendship for Aston, she was confused at the reaction of her body; every time they touched she tingled. Even when he entered a room she would know that he was there. He was her rock, her confidante, her friend and she was running scared.
This book took you through the rebellious and hormonal teenage years of both Annie and Aston. The feelings she had kept hidden, the feelings of being unloved, thinking that she was unworthy of anyone's love as her birth mother had given her up for adoption.
Through misunderstandings, they part for a while but an unexpected twist in the story and an unexpected visitor turns up and throws the family into disarray. Will they survive it?
A most enjoyable read, the story flowed quite nicely throughout the book and was a pleasure to read. I Look forward to the next instalment of the Next Generation.

LEEANN'S REVIEW
4 STARS
Aston & Annie..
They have known each other since they were babies & grown up to be best friends. No matter what they are always there for each other. But as they have gotten older things have changes, feelings have changed. Hormones, lust &
love come into play.
At first, Annie comes across an absolute spoilt brat. She is the eldest daughter of a rock star and has anything her heart desires. She has temper tantrums and at times, particularly early on in the book I found myself thinking
her parents were way too easy on her & she seriously needed a kick up the backside. However, as I read on there were different aspects of Annie’s life that have made her the way she is & it becomes very easy to see where
her insecurities come from & why she thinks the way she does.
Aston is also a rich kid but he has a completely different personality & attitude to Annie. He is also completely in love with her. He cops the brunt of a lot of her outbursts a lot of the time, but nowhere near as much as her parents do.
This book follows the life of Annie & Aston from the age of 5, through their teenage years until they are young adults. There are some serious issues that come up relating to drugs & alcohol and they are addressed & dealt with
Not only tastefully, but also in a way that is realistic and age appropriate. These 2 go through everything that most normal teenagers go through.
There are moments that Annie’s behaviour is frustrating but when you come to understand her, it is a highly emotional story & as a mother, you can’t help but feel for her.
As a parent you can also relate to why her parents put up with what they do, the truly have unconditional love for their children.
This is my 1st K E Osborn book & I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was an easy to follow story & it made sense from beginning to end. I will be making sure I check out more books by this author in the
Near future!

The first book in the much anticipated Next Generation Series and a continuation in as much of the Rock God Series.
The book is the story of the children of the band members and they will each get their turn.
This Annie’s story.
It isn’t easy being the child of the rock god that is Colter Slade but I loved the fact that we got to follow Annie’s life through a significant proportion of her formative years.
Colt and Lia adopted Annie and by the time she hits her twenties she has been on a journey than many twice her age never get to experience. Rising from the bosom of Slayed comes the kids and their band Staked but not riding on the coattails of their parents the kids set out to stamp their mark on the industry and they do so with a firm foot- they are heading for superstardom!
But through it all Annie has always had the fabulous Aston to lean on and to bail her out of the odd scrape or two along the way when things went awry but she has him firmly entrenched in the BFF category and that is far from where Aston wants to be and he sets out to redefine their boundaries.
Fame and fortune for the band means that they are exposed, even more than they had been growing up with mega famous parents but Annie is struggling with fame and adoration, she still harbours fears about the fact that her birth parents didn’t want her – wondering what did she do to make them leave her – she feels as if she is not worth loving – if only she would open her eyes and let Aston in he would show her love that she could never doubt – Can’t she see what is right before her eyes? Or will her past come back to derail the future she deserves?
The story was packed with emotion and events that had me both laughing and crying – it was a fantastic start to what I think will be a series that will hold hostage to not only the fans of the original series but this cracker of a spinoff.

Fame and fortune for the band means that they are exposed, even more than they had been growing up with mega famous parents but Annie is struggling with fame and adoration, she still harbours fears about the fact that her birth parents didn’t want her – wondering what did she do to make them leave her – she feels as if she is not worth loving – if only she would open her eyes and let Aston in he would show her love that she could never doubt – Can’t she see what is right before her eyes? Or will her past come back to derail the future she deserves?
The story was packed with emotion and events that had me both laughing and crying – it was a fantastic start to what I think will be a series that will hold hostage to not only the fans of the original series but this cracker of a spinoff.

This is the first book in the Next Generation series. The author did a great job of describing the characters and the different meanings from UK to US meanings. The book started out slow at first, but I get why the author described the past to the present as it fills in the story for us and without this it wouldn't have been as good of a book. Don't let this deter you, finish the book or you'll miss out on a great story.
This book is about Annie and Ashton they grew up together, are BF, in a band (Staked) together and begin a relationship in this journey. At times you will be wondering if their relationship is really Rock Solid and where this will go. You will feel all the emotions in this book as well as feeling like you are apart of this family and bands. The characters in this book leave a little mystery to you and those missing pieces are told in their stories. I loved all these characters. OK, I lied I didn't like Amber. Annie struggled with her past and not feeling loved since her birth parents gave her up, which cause her issues with Ashton and her depression. The struggle is real and you will get to experience how she overcomes this. All I can say so I don't ruin anything is that I'm glad Colt/Lia adopted her or her life would have been horrible.
Although you don't have to read about the parents and their band (Slayed), I will definitely be reading it to get the full story of these awesome characters. The only thing I didn't like about this story was that we didn't get Ashton's POV as it would be nice to hear what he went through during their relationship, maybe a novella on this to fill in his side. The next generation series is a rock story you don't want to miss.

Review of Rock Solid? (The Next Generation Series Book 1) by K.E. Osborn
Review done for Hooked on Books
4 ½ out of 5 stars
The kids of the famous rockers of the band Slayed are growing up.
Annie is the adopted daughter of Lia and Colt. Growing up the child of famous parents is no easy task. Knowing you are adopted and your parents didn’t want you makes life extremely tough.
Annie doesn’t thinks she deserves to be loved and throws herself into her music and her band Staked. Her constant rock is her best friend Aston. He has been by her side all her life.
Aston has been in love with Annie for a long. He has been waiting for the right time to tell her how he feels. He knows she is confused and weary about her feelings but he can’t wait any longer.
At first Annie resists because she doesn’t want anything to get in the way of her band making it big. But as time goes by, her feelings become stronger and she can’t fight them any more. She loves him too.
When Annie’s real mother comes back into the picture all hell breaks loose. The confidence Annie has developed is now shattered.
I loved this story. It gave insight into the mind of someone who is adopted and their point of view. Granted these aren’t the feelings of all adopted kids but I am sure there are a lot of similarities.
I enjoyed reading more about the characters from the first series. I love Lia and Colt.
I thought the book was a little slow at first with how young the characters are when the story started, but it really picked up and the ending was great!
I definitely recommend this book to read!

Another HUGE hit from K.E. Osborn that I LOVED! It started off with one of my very favorite, The Rock God Series, and continues with the next generation.
Annie Slade is the adopted daughter of Rock Royalty Colt Slade. She has the perfect family, best friend, and serious musical talent , but she has tons of doubt about herself. Ashton is her best friend who understands everything about being the kid of a famous rock star. They have formed a band that is quickly becoming famous. Can Annie and Ashton survive the paps, fans, and gossip to find true love?!
Rock Solid? is Annie and Ashton's story. Annie is a super complex character. She's a feisty, cranky, fit throwing at the drop of a hat, talented force to be reckoned with. Deep down, she's convinced that no one could truly love her since her birth parents gave her away, so she has built a fortress around her heart. Ashton is the complete opposite. He's a very caring, calming soul, especially with Annie. As they grow up, he finds he's in love with her so their relationship changes.
This story was definitely an emotional ride. I LOVED Ashton and Annie but found myself wanting to choke them a lot at the same time. The Rock Solid? had amazing love, loss, fame, a strong family with your back, and a twist thrown in for suspense. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE and LOVE K.E. Osborn's writing, and would probably give her to-do list a 5 Star rating. Get on board reading an AMAZING series from an AMAZING author and hold on tight for an EPIC ride.

✰✰✰ 5 STAR REVIEW ✰✰✰
Annie Slade was the pride and joy from Rock God Colton "Colt" and Lia Slade. Being the oldest of their two adopted daughters, Annie was following her dad's foot steps with her own band with her younger sister, cousin and best friend Aston.
Annie has demons that chase her daily and she will have to fight them and pretend nothing is wrong like she has been pretending her whole life. Every time Aston is near her she feels safe and knows she will defeat those demons.
Aston Soulding is Anna and Johnny's only son. Being the that this two were best friends with Colt and Lia, Aston was Annie's best friend but his feelings for her had always be more, but he will keep them burried down until he knows she feels the same way.
Annie will have to confront her demons and face the ugly consequences that will result of those battles. But will the love and admiration Aston has for her be enough to help her or will they end up destroying them?
Wow, I am so in love this is story. The love, admiration, loyalty and passion this two characters have for one another is so palpable you will think they are real person and not fictional characters.
If you are into rock stars this book is for you. I know I am so hooked in this series I can't wait to continue reading the series.
I guaranteed you, you will not be disappointed.
Get your copy as soon as you can this is a must read for this summer.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest revuew*
Growing up Annie Slade had a pretty great life. Her father is Colter Slade, lead singer of the famous rock band "Slayed." Annie grew up around music so naturally it felt right to start a band. The band included her sister Ella, her cousin Caleb, Chad, and her best friend Aston. They called themselves by "Staked" and they are really good! Soon they get their big break and big things start happening. Annie is thrilled but can't seem to enjoy it. She struggles with her inner demons and with it comes rage and violent outbursts. On top of that Aston is acting different. The guy she knew as her best friend is suddenly much more. While Annie takes her own rock and roll journey, she goes through many ups and downs. Can she handle all the fame and a possible love life or will she let her demons win?
I love reading about rock and roll bands. I love music so naturally this book appealed to me. The beginning was a little slow for me but as the story progressed, I found I couldn't put it down. The author did a great job of describing certain events and lifestyle that I felt I was part of this close knit family and band. The characters were also great. However Annie's character took some time to like. Most of the time she came across bratty and selfish, that I wanted to slap her! By the end of the book though I was rooting for her. I loved Ella's character and hope she will get her own book! This book does contain mature content. This was a great read and I recommend checking it out. I give this 4 stars!

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review - Jacquie / Scandalous Book Blog***
This is a spin off from the wonderful Rock God series and it focuses on the children from the band Slayed and their quest for fame in there own rights.
This book follows the lives of Annie and Ashton who have been friends since birth. We watch them growing up and trying to cope with their feelings for each other whilst trying to achieve success with the band. Annie is struggling to come to terms with the fact that she is adopted and feels unloved.
K.E. Osborn is one of my favourite authors and The Rock God series was my favourite new read from last year, I was so excited when I realised we were going to get more Slayer and I wasn’t disappointed.
I absolutely loved this book, it was a pleasure to revisit old characters and see how their lives had progressed whilst we get to rock all over again with the next generation. This book had it all. We go from angst ridden first love to suspense and shock.
I can’t wait for the next book up and I’m hoping we get one for each of the band members.
If you haven’t already one clicked the Rock God I can’t recommend it highly enough, and the Rock Solid series is off to a flying start.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
I have to start off by saying I love all K.E. Osborn's books, her writing is gritty and honest and her characters are real flawed people with issues that are things we all can relate to.
Rock Solid? The Next Generation stays true to her that writing style and it was a fantastic continuation to the Rock God series. The story of Annie and Aston was fantastic I cant recommend it more.
Told from Annie's POV you feel Annie and Aston's friendship grow from the time they were children to young adults. The main premise for the story is how do 2 best friends tread through their feelings as they are growing and still stay best friends. Sometimes they were very successful but other times not which when you are talking about young peoples feelings to me seemed believable. That on top of Annie's insecurity around being adopted the emotion just escalates from there.
I loved we got to visit Lia and Colt again and loved that their love has only deepened through the years together. I actually missed them! I hope from this review you will pick up the book when its released - you wont be disappointed.

4 Star review
This is Bk 1 of The Next Generation.
This story is about Annie Slade & Aston Soulding. They are the kids of Colter & Delia (Lia) Slade & Johnny & Anna Soulding. They grew up together and are the best of friends. They are also 2 members of the band Staked which is made up of kids of the members of Slayed.
This story was sweet and a great coming of age story. Annie has demons of her own that come from being adopted. "Why didn't my biological parents want me"
Aston, well he is in love the Annie she just doesn't know it yet. And when Aston finally tell Annie that he does love her.....she freaks! She pushes him away and tries to forget him with alcohol & snogging (making out) with other guys. One encounter leads to a disastrous outcome.
Again a story of first loves, true love, father's love, a sister's love. Heartbreak, heartache. feeling of betrayal, Surprises, angst, humor.
Annie is the same way her mother was in Off Your Rocker & Get Your Rocks Off. I wanted to strangle her as well. But I need these stories to make me crazy and these did just that. I look forward to reading ore from this author.

I was lucky to win this arc and it was amazing! I couldn't put it down as it brought out so many emotions in me. This book is the children of the parents from the series Off Your Rocker? You don't have to read it to read this but it is recommended as it will make everything make more sense and you will get to know the characters.
I absolutely loved this book. Annie is the adopted daughter of Colt and Lia and Aston is Annie's best friend and son to Lia's best friend Anna and Colt's band mate Johnny. Annie and Aston have grown up together and have been best friends since they were little. They are also in a band named Staked together. Annie struggles with what fame brings out and not knowing who her birth parents are and doesn't feel she can be loved. Can Aston help her with that and can they have a relationship between them? Someone from Annie's past comes into play which makes for a difficult situation and I really can't say anymore as I am not going to give away spoilers.
This book deserves more than 5 stars and I can't wait for the next book! This is a must read!

I will start by saying that have not read any of the Rock Gods series but I don't know that didn't stop me from completely enjoying this book. If you are a fan of Rock Gods, you get to see more of all the characters of that band throughout this book too.
All of the members of Rock Solid have grown up together in the shadows of their famous parents. Lucky for them, they are just as talented and are able to benefit from it now.
This book focuses on Annie and Ashton. Annie is the adopted daughter of Colt and Lia (who I thought needed slapped a couple times for poor parenting decisions). She's known all along that she was adopted. It affects her in so many ways, mostly her view of herself. That definitely had an impact on her relationships. Because the story starts when the kids are only 13, you get the opportunity to watch them grow up and mature into young adults.
I was able to experience the story not just read about it. On more than one occasion, I had tears running down mu cheeks. To me, that's a sign of a good book.

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!
I've loved everything I've read by K.E. Osborn. Honestly, I wasn't too sure about this because I really liked the Rock God series. Boy was I wrong in my hesitation to read this. It was great to see how life has turned out for Colt and Lia. I was drawn in right from the prologue. I laughed, cried (boy did I cry), wanted to throw my kindle a couple times, and sat on the edge my seat in fear what would happen. My heart broke for Annie but a couple of times I wanted to smack Annie upside the head. I absolutely love when an author gives me all the feels and this book has them in spades.
Usually Rocker Romances aren't my thing but K.E. has this way that draws me in and I really like that this wasn't your typical "sex, drugs, and Rock & Roll" romance. This has meat to it. Another win for K.E. in my book!

OMG!!! SOOO GOOOOD!!! I am still in awe of this book! I thought it started very slow, and was having trouble trying to stay with it. Further into the story I appreciated all the backstory at the beginning. Without it the rest of the story would not have been as good. The relationship between Aston and Annie is phenomenal. There is a lot of chemistry, but the story is focused more on the connection. The feels in this book were amazing. I laughed and cried with these characters. I loved the detail given throughout the story. I cried with Annie during her battle with her self-worth. The author did an amazing job with all the emotion in this story. The twist near the end had me in tears again. I loved these characters and can’t wait to read the next one!

This is the first book in the Next Generation Series and is a spin off of the Rock God Series. Make sure to read the Rock God series first because not only will this series make more sense but it is an awesome series. Annie is the adopted daughter of Lia and Rockstar Colt. Her parents love her but she struggles. Aston is a son of a band member and he has grown up with Annie as her best friend. What happens when he wants more? Can she handle a change in their relationship? Add in they themselves are starting a band and begin performing and someone from Annie's past comes into her life and you have a book I could not stop reading.

K.E. has done it again and created a new series that will sure be one of my favorite rock series to follow in the future. K.E. creates a very beautiful story that continues from the previous series the Rock God series that she has written before this series. I really enjoyed reading Rock Solid this will be a great series to read can't wait to read each book that comes out. Rock Solid is Annie and Ashton's story. Annie and Ashton are best friends since they have grown up together. Both of their parents were members of Slayed. Rock Solid is definitely a must read if you love rocker series.

I absolutely love this book and I barely got any sleep while reading it because it is so well told and well written and it plays on all the emotions we ourselves go through in our younger lives.. Am I worthy of love, who can I trust, will my first crush last a lifetime, who am I? And so on.. And on top it made me wanna ugly cry which NEVER happens to me.. I am not one to cry over books or movies but as Annie's heart broke so did mine.
You can't help but feel all the shades of emotions that Annie and Aston goes through and you can't help but love Aston for his dedication to Annie and his sweet nature <3

ok when I think of rocker books K.E. Osborn comes to mind. This book like all the others is awesome. Aston and Annie were childhood friends and even then they had somthing special. Annie being adopted has always felt out of place and wondered if she evens deserves love. Annie and Ashton grow along hormones and things change as well as people, can Ashton and Annie realize the love that's always been there and trust it or will fear stand in the way. I loved this book.

K. E Osborn has done it again. I loved the rocker series and to now be able to read what is going on with the children's is amazing. Annie and Aston are both characters that you will immediately be drawn to. They are so well developed and vividly described you will feel like a direct part of their story. This book will make you yell, scream, laugh and cry, sometimes all in the same chapter.
I simply can't wait for the next instalment.
Well done KE Osborn, another awesome read!!!
