Reprieve /rɪˈpriːv/
A cancellation or postponement of an undesirable event.
Second chances aren't given lightly...
I should have walked away. It was impossible.

The second installment in the Twelve Months series picks up two weeks after Jamison Rivera broke Sylvie Embers' heart.
Come step inside the world of Twisted Temper once more, and discover why falling in love with a rock star was equally the greatest, and cruellest thing Sylvie Embers would ever do to herself....

About the author
R. Gadd
3 books74 followersFor as long as I can remember, I've had a fascination with the written word; how they sound, the definition of each one, the reaction certain words have on others. Some people sing, some dance, some paint; for me, words are my creative outlet. I live in Wales, I devour books... especially romance novels (I'm a romance novel junkie and proud!) I love music and going to concerts. I adore the process of writing and creating new characters. It's an odd thing playing God with fictitious people, but I love it. I'm a mother, daughter, fiancée, sister, damsel, and strawberry laces enthusiast. I own two cats, Doug and Dolly. Doug is my biggest fan; he sits and purrs when I read him extracts from my book. I have a love/hate relationship with a chicken named Shawshank... but that's a story for another time. I really do hope you enjoy the Twelve Month series. Please get in touch, I like hearing from humans. Oh, and please leave a review if it's not too much trouble.

Spent… that’s exactly how I feel right now after just finishing on one of the best rock romances I’ve ever read. Being a absolutely huge rock romance fan and reading everyone I can get my hands on I have to say that this series is in my top 5 of all time. Ms. Gadd has taken me on one h*ll of a rollercoaster ride of emotions: love and hate, heartfelt and heartbreak, hope and devastation. I think you get the drift
I’ve grown to love all of the people in this book. It’s not just Jamison and Sylvie; its Brett and Nancy, Vinny and Veronica, Ben and Lucy that have all wormed their way into my heart. Ms. Gadd writes with powerful words that know how to get to your heart on one page and will in another page make you roll with laughter.
I highly recommend this book…this series and can’t be thankful enough for an author that knows how to put words that will make your heart bleed but still have you hanging on to hope. I am only thankful that I don’t have to wait to read Twelve Months-Broken Cord because I need to put my heart at rest and only hope that there will be a HEA for all of the people I have come to love.

5 Electrified Guitars for Reprieve
Okay, it's still getting 5 because I can't think of any other book that has made me so infuriated, as well as happy, sad, swoony, sexy and a multitude of other emotions. It also helps that I can pick up the next book immediately, which I will be doing as soon as I finish typing this. Jamison is an excruciatingly real kind of rockstar, and Sylvie is probably even more excruciatingly real as a heroine. I have been promising myself not to go into any personal tirades as I read the stupidity these two have found themselves in, but I can't say that I don't get it because I have been there. Honestly, this book is shredding me, but I am counting on Ms Gadd to fix it in the 3rd book. I guess you can check back tomorrow to see if my Kindle survived the action. As of right now, the need to know and the endless optimism I seem to hold onto are keeping this series as a first favorite of 2018. I will let you know for sure how I feel after I get through Broken Chords, which I need to start NOW....

Great Rock Book!
I love Jamison, I hate Jamison! The sign of a great book is to evoke strong feelings, and this book certainly does. I loved all of the characters, such a great job of writing in this book! Highly recommended!

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS LOVE!!
First I want to say hallelujah...we are getting shared dialogue from Jamison now too. I LOVE dual storytelling!!!
I'm feeling heartbroken but want to try to keep my optimism higher than my pessimism. I just can't fucking understand how two people could ever survive the obstacles thrown at Sylvie and Jamison....especially by that vile Samara. I want to kill her and that seems irrational knowing these are fictional characters!
Which brings me to a point I'd like to iterate of the skill and imagination of the author delivering this remarkable story. While she is not the only woman writer I admire and hold in high esteem, she is my current one! This is a very complicated story with so many characters and their own storylines and unique personalities.
Thank God book 3 is available and in my library because I just can't wait to start on it!
In the words used by Jamison and the boys....don't be a pussy and get this series! You won't regret it, I promise.

R. Gadd, you just ripped my heart out and stomped all over it - This book picks up where Twelve Months left off (NOTE: This is NOT a standalone)- Jamison Rivera guitarist for Twisted Temper and Sylvie Embers novice writer sent out to get the real story (and some dirt) on the world's most notorious bad boys are in love, but their love may not be enough to hold them together, Jamison has never been a one woman guy until Sylvie and watching him navigate the relationship will have you swooning one moment and wanting to smack the crap out of him the next. There are pitfalls falling for one of rocks biggest manwhores and Sylvie is trying to deal with his history over an over again, with the support of her friends Nancy & Veronica she stands by Jamison and they come through everything that gets thrown at them, or do they.
The story is epic, the writing just forces you to keep turning the pages until you can't see from your vision being blurry, or the tears pouring out of your eyes. Sylvie and Jamison make major mistakes but you never feel that this relationship is false - The book is Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll but soo much more, it's relationships within the band and their girlfriends, their families and how they deal with themselves. R. Gadd book 3 better be here soon, Reprieve was anything but.

Where to freaking begin......
I freaking devoured this book. This is an amazing series that I don't want to end but can't help wanting the next book like frecking yesterday. I am so hooked on this story I HATE that I have to WAIT now for next installment.
I just freaking love Sylvie she is an awesome character. I have laughed out loud with her, cried with her and gotten so frecking ticked off for her too. She has really put up with a lot of crap all the way around and it breaks my heart. I mean you get so lost in these characters and their circumstances that you feel every emotion and that ladies is a brilliantly written story. And hands down that is what this author has done for this avid reader.
Jamison "Jam" is a god in the rock world but also a very frustrating person. I just want to slap him. He has had his good moments but for me so far the bad outweighs the good. He has a lot to make for my readers mind.
So in saying all this not going to give everything away you as a reader need to check this abso-freaking-lutely amazingly awesome read!
Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis

5 Stars
Absolutely LOVED this 3 book series. First time reading this new author. Definitely won’t be my last. Incredibly well written story. Some of the best character development that I’ve read in a long time. All the characters were just terrific. Nancy was my fav so I can’t wait for her book up next.

I can't even write a review for this middle-of-trilogy book. This is definitely good to read if you have time to go on and read the last book in the trilogy too, because I don't see how anyone could stop at the end of this book and be okay with waiting to find out what happens. There's so much to love in this story, and I'm (temporarily) crushed at the way this part ends, but that's okay because I'm trusting that it will all be fixed in the next book. The depth of Sylvie and Jamison's relationship continues to grow — it's very well done. 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5 for Goodreads)

Jamison, jamison, jamison.... another fantastic read, as much as I loved the first book, this book is full of steam and emotion, I love how the friendships have formed and how the characters have become more of a family.. I laughed, cried (yes I'm that soppy). And called certain people explicit names out loud.. can't wait till the next instalment,

What a ride we have taken. I can’t wait to see how it ends In The last book. But I have laughed, been speechless, cried, and right now speechless doesn’t even cover how I feel. So far this series it amazing.

Omg, why was there no mention of cliff hanger ending !!!! There was in the 1st book and when I saw how many pages were in the second book I assumed it was the full conclusion of the story, how wrong was I
Here I am bawling my eyes out desperate to find out what happens next , only to find out what nobody seems to know when the next book is due out.
Fantastic second part of this trilogy ( obviously only just learnt it is a Trilogy) but as I have no idea when the final part is due to be released I suppose I just have to make up the ending in my vivid imagination. It's a HEA by the way😉

Big tears
My heart breaks for Sylvie and Jamison. How much can one couple stand! They have not gotten one break. I keep hoping Nancy and the crew can turn them both around and fix this mess. To people who love so deeply and passionately should be together NOT apart because of what ifs. Diving into Book 3 now.

So much angst in the second part of Sylvia and Jamison’s story. I had to check my kindle to make sure it hadn’t spontaneously combusted from all the angst!
On to book three!

I didn't enjoy this book. Everything with Samara, Dex and Liv was just too ridiculous and OTT.

What was that!? I devoured this 770 page book in less than 48 hours! I couldn’t put it down. One might argue that it’s too long, but I wouldn’t have wanted one part of it removed. Sylvie & Jamison’s story continues in this 2nd installment of this series. What a roller coaster! What a cliff hanger! Thank god book 3 is immediately available for me to read because waiting would have been torture!
Sylvie & Jamison’s love is basically all consuming which makes their story very hard. So much love but so much torment! No descriptions here, just confirmation that you can’t not read this if you read book one. We all long for true love, but this one I don’t know who could truly weather it! On to book 3!
