Sixth Street Bands #1
Gone For You
This is an Alternate Cover Edition for ASIN: B00U6U8CLS.
As the guitarist for the rock band Caged, I know the rules: no relationships. No complications. Leave ‘em smiling when you go, but always go. Besides, it’s not like I’m ever in one place for more than a few days at a time. As the next hottest thing out of Austin, the band and me are riding the wave, and the music is all that matters.
Until her…
Lily Tennison has “complication” written across her beautiful face. But I can’t get involved. The timing’s all wrong. But she’s under my skin, and I can’t resist her troubled eyes and sweet smile. And I do have a little time to kill. Not much, just a few days in Dallas.
So I’ll scratch the itch and move on, like I always do.
Simple, right?
Note: You won't need to turn up the heat—Sixth Street Bands Romances have plenty of steamy fun. This story can be read as a stand-alone but is part of the Sixth Street Bands music scene.

Gone For You is book one in the Sixth Street Bands series by Jayne Frost. In full disclosure here, I have already read books four and five of this series and have fallen so in love with them that I wanted to go back and read the first three books that I missed. So, I already have a connection to these characters. This is Jayne Frost’s very first book, her debut into the world of book publishing. As the book progressed, I felt the flow get better and better, or maybe it was just my love of the characters getting stronger and stronger. I think it was probably both. In any event, I loved it. I love these wild, damaged, loveable band mates. And I can’t wait to introduce you to Cameron, the lead guitarist, and Lily, the sweet girl that stole his heart!
Cameron Knight is the lead guitarist of the band, Caged. Caged is on the rise in Austin, Texas and the band members are all living the life. Groupies are at every venue that were ready and willing to entertain them for a few hours. Cameron and his band mates are in Dallas for several days for a concert. When they arrive at a secluded resort Cam first sees her, and he’s instantly drawn to her. This feeling is foreign to him since he’s not the least bit interested in anything other than one night stands since that’s all he has time for. But maybe he can spend some time with this beautiful woman while he’s here, just so he can get her out of his system. Then move on, just like he always does.
“Her blond hair swung from side to side, mimicking the sway of her hips. A smile played across her lips, crinkling the corners of her piercing blue eyes. My heart nearly stopped.”
Lily Tennison is almost ready to graduate from art school. She is working two jobs to pay for her education, one of which is at the resort. She noticed Cameron right away but she knew what his reputation was, what sort of women he went for. And she wasn’t one of them. Still, when he makes it known that he wants to spend time with her, she can’t resist.
Cam’s world is completely foreign to Lily. She is so hesitant to let him in, to let herself believe that this could be anything more than just a short little blip on his life. But the more time they spend together, the more he breaks down her walls and wins her heart.
“She stole a piece of me that I could never get back. Or I gave it willingly. Either way, something shifted, and I felt it so intensely I didn’t know whether to run or hold her so tight she could never get away.”
There is more at play, here, though, than just Cameron and Lily. There is a manipulative manager, and Lily’s equally manipulative mother. Lily has been beat down all her life, made to feel like she is less than nothing. It’s a wonder that Cameron was able to convince her even a little bit that she was the one for him, that she was perfect.
I really did love this. I just can’t get enough of this series. It was also really great to see how Caged ended up being managed by Twin Souls. This is such an amazing series I hope you’ll give it a try. I have a feeling you’ll fall in love with the members of Caged, just as I have.

4 stars!!!
For some reason, I have read this series all out of order, and saved the first book for last. It was nice to go back to the beginning of Caged and get Cameron and Lily’s story!
Cameron is the guitarist for Caged. He’s never settled down, and between touring, writing music, and all that, there has never been time. He’s never had the desire to make the time. Until he meets Lily Tennison. Lily is unlike anyone Cam has ever met. She’s a little on the shy side, has a cute stammer when she speaks, and is completely irresistible to Cam. I loved watching this rock star who has never fallen in love fall so hard. It was a bit of insta-love on both ends, but was still great. I loved getting both of these characters perspectives. And of course, seeing all my favorite band members *Logan* sigh.
Gone for You is most definitely less angsty and emotional than some of the other books in this series. That was fine with me though, sometimes we all need something a little lighter! If you’re looking for a short, sweet, and sexy rockstar read, pick this one up! And definitely check out this series. I love these guys!

READ MY REVIEW ON THE BLOG
I've said it often and I don't tire of repeating it - Jayne Frost is a force to be reckoned with. Her writing is among my top favorites. If you love rockstar romance the way I do you really need to check her out.
GONE FOR YOU is her first book and since the author announced last year she would release an edited version with an added female point of view I decided to wait. Finally I had the chance to listen to the audio and because I was curious I wanted to see what she'd changed. People, this book profited from the edits. The female POV gives the story meat and the subtle edits make it multi-layered. Granted, this is a short book and you can't go super deep in this kind of page count but it's not necessary with this one because Gone for You is different from everything else I've read by Jayne Frost. It has her stellar writing style but instead of her deeply emotional plots this one is lighthearted, cute and flirty and sexy.
It was also interesting (and awesome) to see Logan and Sean pre-HEA. It gives this story another layer.
I loved Cameron and Lily's story, I loved how Lily didn't let her stutter define her, how she wasn't impressed or intimidated by Cameron's celebrity status because, frankly, out of the two she was the bigger fish. I hated her mother for making her feel rotten for her "speech problem." I loved Cameron's quick acceptance of his feelings for Lily - yeah, he fell fast but Jayne Frost made it work. I thought it was sweet that he found Lily's stutter adorable, that he made her feel special.
Jacob Morgan doesn't need to be introduced - he is a fixture on my audiobook list. And so is Ava Erickson - she has a young voice, someone who totally pulls off the New Adult heroines. She was perfect for Lily.
If you are looking for a fun, cute story, grab this! It'll make you feel good.

Inhalt: „Rock’n’Love“ von Jayne Frost ist am 1.05.2020 bei Lyx erschienen. Es ist der erste Band der fünftteiligen Reihe.
Cameron Knight ist Gitarrist bei der beliebten Band Caged. Er liebt seine Freiheiten und nutzt sie auch aus. Mehr als einmal schläft er mit keiner Frau. Als seine Bandkollegen und er in einem luxuriösen Resort abtauchen, trifft er auf Lily Tennison. Sofort fühlt er sich zu der Studentin hingezogen und ist bereit seine One-Night-Stand-Regel für sie zu brechen...
Meinung: Das Cover kann mich nicht überzeugen. Zum einen mag ich eigentlich keine Leute auf dem Cover und finde ihn auch nicht attraktiv und zum anderen passt er noch nicht mal auf die Charakterbeschreibung von Cameron im Buch. Dafür mag ich aber die Schrift. Sie ist gut gewählt und die rosa Schriftfarbe sticht gut aus dem schwarz-weiß gehaltenem Cover hervor. Übersetzt wurde die Geschichte von Cécile G. Lecaux.
Der Schreibstil hat mir auch noch gut gefallen und ließ sich eigentlich flüssig lesen. Ich muss „eigentlich“ sagen, denn oft wirkten die Szenen ziemlich abgehackt. Das hat den Fluss etwas unterbrochen. Auch die Tiefe der Charaktere haben darunter gelitten. Gefühlt bestand das Buch hauptsächlich aus erotischen Szenen oder Gedanken. Die Seitenzahl spielt dabei auch eine Rolle. Da ich es mit der Kindle App gelesen und im Internet verschiedene Seitenzahlen kursieren, kenne ich keine genaue Seitenzahl, aber das englische Original hat wohl nur 184 Seiten. Dadurch hat die Geschichte gar keine Zeit sich zu entwickeln und es ist eine Liebe auf den ersten Blick Geschichte. Ich hatte leider nicht das Gefühl als hätten die Charaktere sich groß weiter entwickelt. Das Resort fand ich ein tolles Setting. Dafür hat mir das Bandleben und -gefühl leider ziemlich gefehlt. Die Band an sich mochte ich sehr gerne. Die Gespräche untereinander waren humorvoll.
Fazit: Leider hat die Geschichte nicht meinen Geschmack getroffen. Mir persönlich war die Geschichte mit zu vielen Klischees und ohne genügend Tiefgang. Wer gerne erotische Szenen liest ist hier ganz gut aufgehoben.

Meh! Coulda - shoulda - woulda type of scenario. Just not much to this one. Story sagged and never really grabbed my attention. And the characters were less than convincing. I had a very hard time getting through to the end. It felt really juvenile and meaningless.

I've heard nothing but good things about books three and four in this series but since I always feel left out of the loop when I don't start a series from the beginning, I decide to give this a go.
And it was all right...very light romance with no major issues however its fairly predictable. The books is short (167 pages) so the depth is lacking.
Cameron and Lily meet when one of his band members is injured and the rest have to have a place to hang out for a few days. It just happens to be at the hotel where Lily works. She's in a concierge type position and Cameron takes advantage of her skills. Lily puts up barely any resistance.
There's a lot of "mine" and disbelief in his feelings but this once groupie groper happily settles into boyfriend material. I only wish we had gotten Lily's POV.
There's some mild drama with Lily's family but other than that, issues work themselves out quite nicely.
The other band members are intriguing, especially Logan. And I really want to learn more about Chase, Cameron's brother, who runs a club although I'm not sure if he gets a book or not.

Gone for You was the first book in the Sixth Street Bands series by Jayne Frost.
Cameron Knight was the gorgeous guitarist for the rock band Caged. He was a one night no strings attached guy. Until he met Lily.
Lily Tennyson was a student who also worked two jobs to keep afloat, one of which was at an upscale hotel. She was assigned to the band Caged while they were there for a few days incognito to ensure all their needs where met and the public stayed at bay.
Gone for You was written in a single POV, Cameron's. I always thoroughly enjoy the male perspective and Gone for You didn't disappoint. It was a journey of self discovery for both of them. Cameron's discovery of finding the one and only and never turning back. And Lily's discovery of standing on her own, accepting the past as failures where she wasn't the cause, and embracing the future.
The story was sweet and a fast read. The entire book covered less than a week with one final glimpse two months into the future. I enjoyed what I read but I craved more into the future. There were several loose ends that I would have liked to have wrapped up better. Otherwise, it was a thoroughly entertaining read.
I read the series out of order having read Fall with Me first. They can be read as standalones without missing anything and I enjoyed both. Next up for me is the third book in the series, Missing from Me, focusing on Sean. Looks like the last of the series will focus on Logan.

Lily has a great job at a resort in Dallas. She had no idea what she was in for when this famous guitarist walks into her life. Cameron Knight looked like nothing but trouble but what was wrong with finding out just how much trouble he could be.
I'll just cut to the chase about Gone for You. I struggled with the rating on this one, I didn't know whether to give it one or two stars. Harsh, right? I just really didn't connect with ... anything ... in this book. I will say this, this story is told from the POV of Cameron Knight. It's not too often that you can find a contemporary romance novel written from a male's perspective. I was super intrigued by that. It's interesting to get into someone's head ... especially a dude's because for this character, I figured his head would be full of bong resin and hops. I was correct on the latter. There was a lot of the latter. But there would need to be for the rock and roller cliche to be complete. That also, was harsh. But I'm sorry I'm not sorry. And the reason I'm not sorry is that this book seemed to be one big cliche ... the band getting female attention, the band putting as many notches in their bedposts as they can a night, drunken hookups, the manager that is horrible ... it was all in there. I just expected more, maybe that is why I feel so let down.
I didn't really like any of the characters. They felt like they didn't have any depth ... while you're told portions about each of their backgrounds, it just isn't enough. The characters aren't fleshed out enough to make them seem even semi-real. Well, I take that back. There was one character that I really enjoyed but he literally had maybe a page total out of the whole book that was about him. The sad part is that I felt more connected to him than I did the main hero. It shouldn't be like that. I shouldn't struggle to see these characters as people.
To be honest, the whole book felt like it was written very one-dimensionally. There was conflict but it was resolved too easily, it didn't seem like real life. That's basically my whole issue with this book ... a lack of reality. I won't go on with this any more, I think you got the point. I don't think that this author is for me. Maybe she is for you though, good luck.

I received a free eARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
"Gone for You," the first book in the Sixth Street Band Series by Jayne Frost, was amazing and I absolutely loved it! I liked that it wasn't too long or too short, but just right. I read it in under two days and enjoyed every minute of it. Cameron Knight and Lily Tennison were wonderful main characters, and I loved their personalities and chemistry together. They clicked right from the start, and though their relationship progressed quickly, I thought they made a great couple. They had many things in common and complemented each other well. To be honest, they were meant for each other. I also liked that the book was told from Cameron's POV. You don't often see a book solely from the male character's POV, but I thought it was unique and made the book even better. I thought Jayne Frost did a phenomenal job with the authenticity of the music aspect of the novel, or at least what I would imagine a rock star band would ultimately deal with in day-to-day life. I loved that "Gone for You" had lots of romance, humor, and drama. It definitely didn't lack in the romance department, and there were many instances where it was both intense and sweet at the same time. I also loved that it was a stand-alone novel within a series. I'm not a huge fan of cliffhangers, so it was refreshing to read a novel that concluded the characters' story in one book. I loved the other three members of the band Caged and I am excited to find out who gets their own story in the next installment of the Sixth Street Band Series!

A copy of this book was received in exchange for an honest review.
Cameron Knight, lead guitarist for the band Caged, lives the good life. Caged’s fame is on the rise, his pick of the ladies is endless, and his bandmates are his best friends. When the bassist for Caged is involved in an accident in Dallas, the news spreads like wildfire, and the hotel where the band is staying is swamped with fans willing to make all their “troubles” disappear. Luckily, Caged has connections, and desperate to have a few peaceful moments in Dallas before their big show, they are set up at a high-end resort, The Mansion.
With the promise to be sheltered from the press and fans, the remaining Caged members hole up in The Mansion. Cameron’s expectations are low: maybe a few random hook-ups with waitresses, or maybe he’ll pull back some beers while soaking in the resort hot tub. But after setting foot on the premises, his hopes to have a few uncomplicated days are pushed to the wayside by a pair of creamy thighs and the face of an angel. From the moment he sees Lily Tennison, he has a sinking feeling his playboy days are fleeting.
Lily Tennison, The Mansion’s Event Coordinator, is cool as ice when Caged first arrives. She’s aware of their reputation with women, and their inclination for one night stands. At first, she puts up a good fight and ignores Cameron’s flirting, but soon she lowers her guard and gives in to his many charms.
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with this read. The story was told entirely from Cameron’s point of view, which I felt was a good call on the author’s part. I found that his confidence, mixed with witty dialogue and sarcastic inner voice, really drew me into the plot. Using inner thoughts sparingly, the author successfully conveys Cameron’s feelings for Lily without overanalyzing, which I find is the norm in stories where the narrator is the female. In the case of Lily, her background eventually rears its ugly head, and you find she is steeped with insecurity. Her self-doubt is pivotal to the story, but if it had been told from her point of view I’m not sure it would have worked as well.
I particularly love the humor in this book, especially between Cameron and his bandmates. The writing is light, and the author chooses words thoughtfully, which improves the reading experience. The steamy scenes were plentiful, which never hurts. If I had to nit-pick, I would have wished the author offered a few more glimpses at Lily’s family life. That would have made their struggle, and the eventual win between Cameron and Lily more satisfying for me.
Overall, this is a charming short read which encompasses all the elements I seek in a romance, and the qualities I love in main characters—sexy and funny. It also has a healthy dose of conflict involving malicious side characters and shaky childhood experiences, but not so much it bogs down the story. If you are a lover of funny (who isn’t?) and enjoy well-drawn characters (who doesn’t?) this is the romance for you.

I particularly love the humor in this book, especially between Cameron and his bandmates. The writing is light, and the author chooses words thoughtfully, which improves the reading experience. The steamy scenes were plentiful, which never hurts. If I had to nit-pick, I would have wished the author offered a few more glimpses at Lily’s family life. That would have made their struggle, and the eventual win between Cameron and Lily more satisfying for me.
Overall, this is a charming short read which encompasses all the elements I seek in a romance, and the qualities I love in main characters—sexy and funny. It also has a healthy dose of conflict involving malicious side characters and shaky childhood experiences, but not so much it bogs down the story. If you are a lover of funny (who isn’t?) and enjoy well-drawn characters (who doesn’t?) this is the romance for you.

For the full review, please visit paytonsbookthoughts.wordpress.com
I reviewed this book and the second one in the series (Fall With Me) at the request of the author. I am so glad that they reached out to me to review these books because they were AMAZING! I really loved getting lost in these books. Plus they were cute, quick reads and that was exactly what I needed at the time!
Now on to the actual review of this book!
So when I received the request to review these books, I was already interested just based off of what the publisher sent me. However, I was not expecting it to be told from the perspective of a male. I’m not sure why, I just wasn’t. But I’m so glad it was because it made it so much more interesting! If you follow my blog, you know I LOVE having the male perspective in books! For some reason it completely wins me over. So I was super excited once I realized it was told from Cameron’s perspective!
At first, Cameron is your typical douchebag famous band guy. I didn’t particularly like him, but I also couldn’t really blame him for his lifestyle either. He, nor I, was expecting his whole view on love and relationships to change when he met Lily.
I immediately fell IN LOVE with Lily’s character! She was so sassy and refused to be treated like a piece of tail by these band guys. I LOVED IT! Plus, she was super petty with Cameron and it was quite entertaining. I actually found myself literally laughing out loud at some of the things Lily would pull with Cameron.
Another thing I really loved about the book and Lily, was that Lily was in NO WAY made out to be PERFECT. She actually had a stutter, which was super cute. I’m so thankful to Jayne Frost for doing this because most of these books have this absolutely flawless girl that gets the guy. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed have a female MC that had a very obvious flaw.
I didn’t expect things to progress the way they did in the story, but I really like that it did! It was just all of a sudden full force and it was AWESOME! It really made me fall for Cameron when he finally started opening up to Lily and letting himself be vulnerable with her. It also made me think that there may be something more going on between them.
Y’all also know I’m a sucker for finding out where the title of books come from and this one was SUPER CUTE!
I know things can’t be all rainbows and butterflies in life or books, but I completely went on a RAMPAGE for a minute will reading this book. Lily is such an idiot in part of this book and I was just thinking you CANT BE SERIOUS right now! I hate these girls that dont see what they have and leave it behind! I dont care what it’s for, it’s not worth it in my opinion. The reason this gave me all the angry feels is because it’s coming from someone that is dying to have what they do and they just THROW IT AWAY!
Thankfully, it was only 24 book hours of misery before everyone came to their senses. And the ending was so cute. I LOVED it! I wanted to dive right into the next book immediately. AND I DID!

Ich habe mich sehr auf die Story gefreut, da ich Rockstar-Romanzen bisher immer sehr gut fand.
Der Schreibstil hat mir auch gut gefallen, weil er leicht und locker zu lesen war. Auch das Setting fand ich sehr schön und die Charaktere hatten ihre Ecken und Kanten, was ich auch nicht schlecht fand. Selbst Cam war nicht das pure Klischee, auch wenn er reichlich davon hatte. Ich fand es aber noch o.k. Trotzdem blieb das Gefühl aus, die Charaktere stetig besser kennenzulernen. Das betraf die Hauptprotas Cam und Lilly, ebenso wie die Nebenfiguren. Das fand ich schade.
Den Verlauf der Geschichte verfolgte ich mit gemischten Gefühlen. Es ging mir alles viel zu schnell, teilweise fand ich von einem Kapitel zum anderen keinen flüssigen Anschluss. Die Geschichte bot wenig Höhen, Tiefen oder Überraschungsmomente, trotzdem fand ich sie letztlich unterhaltsam und kurzweilig

Now we move from the virtuous, faithful hero of Fool Me Once to the disgustingly promiscuous Cameron, lead singer of a rock band. Yeah, I do struggle with this trope, I'll be honest.
From threesomes and very dirty, disrespectful chat between the guys in the band about the women they fuck, to use their word for it (not sure how they figure they are any different or any better than their groupies, but I guess the double standard is still alive and well) to devoted, faithful lover in the space of a few weeks, days, even, is stretching it. Cameron and his mate Logan have no interest in finding out the name of the latest hook-up. They dismissively label the blondes Betty and the brunettes Veronica from the Archie comics, because hells, we don't give a flying fuck what their actual names are, and ask each other which one they would like for a quick screw. Ugh.
So it was always gonna be a struggle to believe in a complete 180 character change. Still, I kept reading it, despite my disbelief, and despite the speedy dive between the sheets on the part of our supposedly discriminating heroine, so I guess it had something to keep me hooked. The writing is solid and the rock world described seems really enough, even though it is also very clichéd. I mean, how would I know? Never was a rock chick/groupie! (Here I must sing the praises of Jon Bon Jovi, as hot a rock star as you'd ever want, and his devotion to his wife of decades. Breaking the mold, or more usual these days than not? For me, that is a real man. But I guess we don't have the drama and angst that readers like.)
So if you'd like a quick read with some emotion and drama and dirty sex, set in the rock world, then go for it!
Will I be reading the rest of the series (about the other guys in the band)? Yes, I think so. We'll see if I get through all of them. Might have had a gutful of sexist, stupid-arse, man-whore rock stars, forgiving, push-over heroines and cookie cutter, dumb-as-fuck groupies before I get to the end, but who knows? And btw, my bad language is simple reflecting the language of the book :)

Quick read and not bad.

“‘Before you get all starry eyed, you should know I haven’t had a girlfriend since the eleventh grade. So I probably suck at it.’”
Cameron Noble, known to his fans as Cameron Knight, is the guitarist in a Texas rock band, Caged. Feel free to get starry eyed though because Cameron is such a cutie, and while he didn’t used to do the dating thing, he sure is sweet, sexy, and chivalrous about it when he meets Lily Tennison.
Lily might just be Cameron’s match. Though her job puts her at his disposal, she often gets the upper hand on him. I chuckled out loud at the personal shopping part. Lily is smart, talented, and sweet. Her socialite parents have disowned her for switching majors and her stress induced speech impediment is an embarrassment to her mother.
“‘Maybe the words don’t come because they don’t want to leave those beautiful lips any more than I do.’”
Ahhh. Take a moment to swoon a little more at Cameron. Need another moment? Try a glimpse at a frustrated but very turned-on Cameron:
“‘I swear, Lily. I will tie you up if you don’t quit.’ I trudged toward the first group of lights. Telling her I wouldn’t f*ck her was not only a lie. It was a damn lie. It would be a miracle if we made it to her front door and a bigger miracle if we made it to a bed.”
I read this story when I was suffering from not one but two book hang-overs, and this was a great cure! It’s cute, sexy, and light-hearted. It’s told entirely from Cameron’s first person POV, and is a great start to the Sixth Street Band series.
Are Cameron and Lily simply “killing time” together or can Cameron swallow his fears and make it something more permanent?
If you enjoy rocker romances, you’ll want to make sure to be one-clicking a copy of this one. Cameron is easily book boyfriend material, and Lily is a very likable heroine that you root for. I hope to see more of them in future books.
So…what to expect next in the Sixth Street Band series? Author interview with author Jayne Frost on the blog: http://book-bosomed.blogspot.com/2015...

* * * A copy of this book was received in exchange for an honest review * * *
Jayne Frost's Gone For You is the first book in the Sixth Street Band series and I really enjoyed Cameron and Lily's story. This was actually my first read by the author and I'm definitely intrigued by her. The book immediately thrusts readers into the mind of Cameron Knight, our main hero, and I was frankly overwhelmed at first. I initially felt no connection to the secondary characters, even though Cameron obviously had a history with them. Cameron himself comes off as very arrogant in the beginning, but that's to be expected. He's a famous rock star! One thing I did like was the chase between Lily and Cameron. In addition, I liked how Lily tried her best to resist Cameron's charms and felt like there needed to be a boundary between the too. Although I felt like their romance progressed a little too quickly, the chemistry and connection they had together were rock solid.
Cameron Knight is our male lead character and I honestly had trouble liking him in the beginning. He comes off as a player and I understand why Lily was wary of him. Cameron does undergo some character growth and eventually wants more from his relationship with Lily. There were moments throughout the book where readers can obviously feel his struggle in recognizing his feelings for her. Told through Cameron's point of view, I thought Jayne Frost did a great job in that regard. However, I wished Frost also provided an additional point of view, such as Lily's, in order for readers to connect with the romance a bit more. I wanted to know what Lily was thinking of Cameron, their "situation," and what her feelings for him were. In the end, I thought Gone For You was a great debut for author Jayne Frost and I definitely look forward to reading the rest of the Caged band member's story. If you're looking for a sweet and sexy story about rock stars, I highly recommend this one!

Gone For You is a rockstar romance that captured my attention right from the start, and even though it falls into the insta-love category, everything about how Lily and Cameron meet and fall for each other is just perfect. I’ll be honest—I went into this thinking I was going to be reading just another rockstar book, something to pass the time and keep me entertained…and finished with this being one of my favorites in that category. Consider it rockstar romance done right!
It’s got all of the elements that make up a great romance—the hot rockstar playboy who finds “the one”, a sweet leading female character that has some tricky family issues, a strong cast of supporting characters that are intriguing enough to hope you’ll get to hear their stories as well…and of course the angst that comes with finding love in complicated situations. The writing totally drew me in, and the chemistry between Lily and Cameron was solid and pretty hot. And I absolutely LOVED getting this story from Cameron’s point of view. Hearing a romance from the male POV is always a huge plus for me, and getting to understand how Cameron feels and his vulnerabilities made for a very interesting read.
I loved how Lily was strong enough to follow her own dreams instead of those her parents wanted to lay out for her. Lily’s mother is one of those that I just wanted to give a piece of my mind to, and how Cameron easily backs Lily up and supports her.
Definitely a story that I’ll re-read in the future, Gone For You was a 5-star read for me, and I’d definitely recommend it to fans of rockstar romances, and just romance stories in general. For the 18+ crowd due to adult language and some hot and steamy scenes.

This is first in the series of The Sixth Street Band. I always like a good rock romance and this book let you take a little look at the life of these bandmates on the road. Cameron was the typical rocker with women at his disposal and that reputation followed him which he was fine with until he meets Lily. The author gives you plenty of humor and steamy scenes to keep it interesting.

Tropes: rockstar romance
Thoughts: I liked Cameron and Lilys story. It was cute, steamy and low on angst. The story only spans over a few days, and for that I think it was done pretty well.
However, it wasn't anything haven't read before and laked a bit depth for me. I would have loved to get to know some of the side characters better.
Thank you for NetgalleyDE for providing me with an arc all thoughts are my own..

Lily and Cameron were cute together. Some hot chemistry between these two! It was a quick read and the first of the series. Not much Rock and Roll involved, but an enjoyable read.

A wonderful read from a male POV......BRILLIANT idea!!!!
GONE FOR YOU is the first book in Jayne Frost's Sixth Street Band Series. I went into this book blind, not knowing anything about either the author or the storyline of the book. I came away absolutely loving both. The book was extremely well written, it had an easy flow to it and was just the right length. Jayne didn't try to cram too much into it, instead she just let the story build itself up in a way that I was drawn into it.
I absolutely adored the two main characters, Lily Tennison and Cameron Knight. Even though the chemistry and attraction between them was instantaneous, Ms Frost allowed for a "real" build up of their relationship. The two complimented each other perfectly, common interests but also several differences - enough of both to know that they were perfect for each other.
Uniquely, Ms Frost has told her story entirely from Cameron's POV. An oddity in the book world today, but i found that it added an authenticity to the story. Details about Cameron's day to day life as a musician, i found interesting, as it was a side that many authors fail to show in their "rock star" novels. It was also interesting to get Christian's POV on the progress of his relationship with Lily - very strange being in a man's mind!!!!
This book had humour, drama and of course romance. Ms Frost certainly did justice to her story, bringing together two characters who could be both intense and light hearted at the same time. Yes there were a couple of moments when I very easily could have thrown my kindle across the room and walked away. However, I did not, I continued to read was turned out to be an amazing story.
I received a copy of this book from the author and agreed to voluntarily review it. however once i finished the book - I bought it, I enjoyed it that much.

3.5 out of 5 Stars Liked it!
In the world of Rock 'N Roll it is best to be free of relationships. With all the travel, groupies, and other temptations along the way, it is very hard to maintain the intimacy and care needed. Also, Cameron lived through his father's betrayal to his mom and family. That man only ever thought about achieving fame and glory. No wonder he walked away from his family!
Nothing prepared him for the impact meeting Lily would have on him. The minute he saw her he felt something different was about to happen between them. So it begins...
This is a very likable rocker story with all the trimmings. Cameron and Lily's romance is sweet and passionate. This book has none of the rawness some of the rocker stories have. This is a sweet romance, not many cuss words, but definitely passionate encounter you will love.

This is the story of Cameron and Lily. Cameron is in a popular band and used to getting what he wants. Lily is a young woman estranged from her rich family, working her way through college. Their lives are very different. Jayne Frost does a wonderful job telling this story and bringing it all together for a happy ending! I loved this book and look forward to more from this author.
