Nothing but Trouble #2
Rock Legend
Fans of Kristen Callihan, L.J. Shen, and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!
I'm no Prince Charming.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.
Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.
Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.
Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

“Legends were just made up stories about people that didn’t really exist.”
Rock Legend is book two in the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh. Wow. That’s the word I first want you to hear me say in regards to this book! Just Wow! While I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Rock King, I simply loved this one. I have read several rock star romances but this might be my first drummer. Does that mean I was a drummer virgin? If I was, I’m not anymore!
Landon Cox was the child of addicts and a product of the system. No one expected him to really make anything of himself. Landon’s love was always drumming. So when he met up with Shane and the guys and they formed the band, Nothing But Trouble, it was the perfect life for him. At first they weren’t much more than a garage band. But then when Travis signed them on, they all had hope that they could somehow make it.
Landon had met Piper when she was a freshman in college and they were inseparable. They spent two months together and it was the best two months either of them had ever experienced. But when Landon is given a choice, choose the band or the girl, he had to choose the band. His life depended on it.
Piper Hastings grew up never being enough for her father. Now in college she is finally free from his expectations. When she met Landon, she thought he was the one. He had very quickly become the center of her world. And then he was gone, just gone. She never knew where or why, only that he was gone. And, he took a part of her with him. Now six years later she works for Travis, Nothing But Trouble’s manager. Only she doesn’t deal with their band. She has managed to keep herself distanced from Landon. Until now. They haven’t been face to face for six years, until now! She should run, not walk, away from him but she can’t.
“She was everything I’d ever wanted. She was exactly what I’d never deserve.”
Landon has been on a wild ride since their band hit it big. But, no matter how much money he makes, no matter how many women he sleeps with, there has always been that missing piece until Piper was standing in front of him and that missing piece clicked right back into place. It was her that had been missing all these years.
“I’d grown a thick skin early in life, and the only one who’d ever gotten under it, burrowing way down deep, was the woman in front of me.”
“Piper deserved a great guy – and that wasn’t me. I could give her a great night, maybe more than one. But I couldn’t give her a future. Not the kind that ended well.”
Both Piper and Landon had unresolved darkness in their pasts. Both were keeping secrets. Six years ago, they weren’t much more than kids. They really hadn’t gotten to know each other that well. Now they had a second chance. But even as secrets are slowly revealed, can either of them truly move forward? Can Piper forgive Landon for walking away the first time?
“How could I have been so wrong? I needed to know him. The rock star and the wounded boy. The loner. The legend. Landon Cox was all of those things. And then some.”
This was such a beautiful book. Landon may have been a bad boy but he stole my heart. And when this man falls, he really falls. They had both dealt with so much pain and I wanted so badly for them to find happiness. Tara Leigh has such a beautiful way of writing. Even the sexy times are beautiful. I could not put this book down, and when I was forced to, I was thinking about it. And that epilogue! It was amazing! You can read this as a stand alone, but it would mean even more to you if you read the first book, Rock King, first. Then you can get the lead singer, Shane, and Delaney’s story since they do appear in this book. Delaney is Piper’s best friend. So I loved getting glimpses into their now happy life.
I also hope you’ll take a moment and read Tara’s acknowledgments and the Author’s Note at the end. Both moved me. This was a beautiful book, a wonderful second chance romance. I hope you’ll love it as much as I did.
“You deserve the world, Landon Cox.”
“You are my world, Piper Hastings.”

Now available
We were gifted with getting to know Landon & Piper in Rock King, but getting their own story was so much better.
I’m completely helpless when it comes to rock gods, celebrities, simply famous people in general. I fall in love with their stories. This book for me was Fire and Ice. I loved it and I wanted to throw it 💪🏻 it consumed me as well as shattered me at times.
This story is about second chances.
“Thought we were the stuff of fairy tales. We’d been all too real. A love story cut short. No happily ever after ending for us.”
Landon is offered his dream and a way to mend his mistakes in his past, all he has to do is walk away without a word, focus on his career and focus solely on his new band. Too me, it was too easy for him, but what do I know😉 he walked away from Piper, no goodbye, nothing. Flash forward 6 years and we are at present time.
Landon is at the height of his rock career. And he was also at the top of being the ultimate playboy. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about what he lost, about his past, about the mistakes he made, what he sacrificed. He’s one of the hottest rock drummers in the industry, and all he cares about is forgetting his past but he can’t. So what happens when he comes face to face with the one thing he gave up that he highly regrets every single day?
“Rockers weren’t rocks. We were tumbleweeds, blowing with the wind. Subject to the whims of the industry.”
Piper is working for a Management Company that manages the man that walked away from her 6 years ago without a word. Simply vanished. She’s been great at avoiding him, she carries around anger, sadness, hate, and yes she still carries around love for the man that simply wiped his hands of her. After just breaking up with her cheating boyfriend, what perfect timing to come face to face with the ex that vanished years ago and you’ve succeeded at avoiding until now.
What will happen, what will come of these two lost souls that loved each other hard at a time in their lives but lost it? Will the love override the anger, the hurt? Will the love be greater than unexpected surprises? Will love override drugs and alcohol? Will love be enough to leave the rocker playboy life in the past, for a life of love with a soulmate? And will the love allow forgiveness??
This story is engaging, I couldn’t wait to get more to Landon and Piper and each page gave a little more. Again, as with the last book, I had to get to the end of this one, so I locked myself in my room to avoid distractions, angsty as heck, slow burn for me. If you love Rockstars, if you love second chances, and if you love angst, pick this up, pick up BOTH books in this series. I can’t wait for the next!!!!! So Miss Tara Leigh, I will be patiently waiting for your next work of art❤️

Landon is Nothing But Trouble's drummer.
And Piper - we already met her in the first book too. She's working for the band's PR Agency.
Six years ago, at college, she was very happy in love with a guy. And that guy later decided against her and their love by choosing his rock star career. Now he's the drummer for Nothing But Trouble.
Poor Piper tries to stay away from the band by handling other clients, but it's not easy. She's friends with the singer's girlfriend and after a concert she finally comes face to face with Landon again.
Landon is shocked to see her. He missed her like crazy. But she's better off without him and troubles.
But maybe they should hook up again to get them out of each other's systems?
But then, after one of Landon's drunk nights, Piper's boss sends her to be Landon's 'babysitter'.
And the old feelings are still there ... but also all their past and current problems ...
What will happen with Piper and Landon?
Will there be a Happy End???
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!☺

#ROCKSTARROMANCE!!!!
Eeep! I'm the biggest rockstar romance fan ever!
And this was another very adorable and sexy and heartbreaking one!
A possible second chance at love and a happily ever after for our darling drummer Landon.
He's a bit of a manwhore. Just a lil' bit ;)
But Piper is the one that he let get away six years ago. And he regretted it ever since. Even though he knows that she's better off without him. Poor guy.
He has a lot of stuff to work through until he can ride off into his happy end sunset with Piper!
Piper has a lot to work and think through too.
And we adore (almost) every moment of that journey! ☺
A tiny little thing I didn't love-love? The book was basically done a little after the 50% mark. We could've stopped with a happy end. But then more things happen. They should've / could've happened a bit sooner, that way it wouldn't have divided the book into two halves. Now it's basically a 2-part book. Which was totally ok - I still loved the whole story and all the people in it! But it could've been done/written a tiny little bit differently.
But the book was a really great second-chance rock star romance with some very sad and moving and some sexy and adorable moments!!
And now I can't wait to see what Dax & Verity will have to tell us in their book! ☺
ROCK LEGEND was a really adorable & heartbreaking second-chance Rock Star Romance! Hurry to your nearest amazon - Landon will be sold out in no time!!!

To the woman who has reignited my love for rock star romances, Tara Leigh, Thank you!
Two books down and the series will forever be one of my favourite series capturing the joy, the struggles, the privileges and the dreams of being in the limelight. Doesn't hurt that the Rock Stars in this series are Rock God's and Rock Legend's... and the women are strong, independent and most definitely NOT cookie cutter.
Langdon and Piper's story was a joy to read. It was frustrating, blissful, heartbreaking and beautiful.
Langdon Cox, Ladies and Gentlemen! Langdon will make even the most cynical woman's heart melt...his words people!The words that comes out of this man's lips will make the romantic in you sigh with utter blissful contentment.
Piper...I loved her. I love her sense of being...her aura, her work ethic, her dedication. She is imperfectly perfect.
I loved the fact that Tara has written a romance novel with such beauty! As cliché as it sounds, my copy of the book has so many highlighted sections...each words better than the next: every promise, every fear, every struggle, every memory... it's etched into the heart of THIS romantic soul.
Now, The BIGGEST question is.... When is book 3 coming out? hahaha
For more ...

Tara Leigh won me over from the moment I entered Deal Breaker. The story grabbed me tight and I was desperate for more of the author’s work. When the Nothing but Trouble series was brought to my attention, I was instantly excited. Mixing an author I’ve come to love and one of my favourite things – rock star romances – together was a recipe to have my mind blown. What I did not expect was for my mind to be blown to quite the degree it was.
With Rock King, I found myself truly addicted. It was an even stronger book than Deal Breaker, coming extremely close to being a five-star rating. By the time I was done I had one thing on my mind – grabbing book two. I had intended to dive into book two the moment it appeared on my Kindle, unfortunately moving house meant I was unable to read it for quite some time. It was a painful wait, I would have happily not moved house so that I could dive into this, but it was certainly worth it. More than worth it, in fact.
I’ll be completely honest with you, I came even closer to handing Rock Legend a five-star rating than I did Rock King. What happened is what I commonly refer to as The Lies of Locke Lamora Effect. For those who have not read my other reviews where I have mentioned the aforementioned effect, I shall explain it to you. Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke Lamora is one of my all-time favourite fantasy reads. I recommend it to every fantasy lover, and those who are not fantasy lovers, because I love it so much. However, it is extremely rare for me to hand out five-star ratings. The fact I have read over two-thousand books and have handed out less than one-hundred five-star ratings demonstrates how rarely these ratings are handed out. Even some of my favourite books have not been given a five-star rating due to something small. My prime example is The Lies of Locke Lamora. It was little things that stopped that elusive five-star rating from being handed, and so The Lies of Locke Lamora Effect was born. It has happened quite a few times, in many genres – The Lies of Locke Lamora, Dark Matter, Rock King, to name a few, and now Rock Legend. If I were anyone else, if I were willing to hand over five-star ratings like the rest of the population, this one would had easily received the five-star rating. Unfortunately, I’m a truly horrible person and held off on handing the five-star rating – even when my finger was hovering over the five-star rating.
However, the fact both of the books in the Nothing but Trouble series have come so close to a five-star rating has left me with the belief one of the future books will manage to do so. There is no doubt in my mind, after just two books, that the Nothing but Trouble series is going to be one of my all-time favourite series. I cannot recommend them enough, and I do not doubt the books will continue to grow ever stronger.
So, what was it I enjoyed so much about this one?
Throughout Rock King, I was intrigued by the side characters. It was never enough to distract from the story, but when I found out we were to receive their book next, I knew I was going to be blown away. They were such great characters, and I could not wait to dig deeper into their world. Know you do not need to have read Rock King to enjoy Rock Legend, but I would recommend giving it a read – it’s a fabulous book, and it does help with some of the references given in this one.
Now, as excited as I was for the characters, I did not expect to fall as in love with them as I did. I did not expect to connect with them on such a deep level. You see, this is a story that touches me on a personal level. So many books out there deal with perfect and how you do not need to be perfect to find the one. Few have hit so close to home, though. Often, I will finish these books and think ‘nice message, shame it will never happen to me’. However, Rock Legend made me believe it is possible. It is one of the few books out there that touched upon something I experience daily and actually made me think there could be more for me out there. I’m not saying this is a book that preaches, far from it, I’m merely saying this book hits all the right buttons. The message it is sending is certainly received, and I couldn’t help but connect deeply with our characters.
Of course, there is more to the story than that. In fact, this book is an onion book. By this point, I’m sure we’re all aware of the onion analogy from Shrek. It applied to the first book, but this book takes it to a whole new level. Each time we think we have uncovered everything, another layer is revealed. We keep digging ever deeper, and the number of topics that are dealt with throughout this book is amazing. Each one is dealt with wonderfully, with care and feeling. I could sit and list all the elements I enjoyed, but to do so would be to start giving spoilers. Just know, there are so many wonderful elements dealt with throughout this book, and I loved them all.
I could fan girl forever about this one – it could easily become one of those reviews where I write a couple of thousand words and still say nothing due to all the gushing I am doing. Just know, this book hit hard, and I loved it so much.
I’m sure by this point you’re asking what that little thing was that prevented the five-star rating. After all, I am gushing all over the place. For me, the little thing that stopped me from giving a five-star rating was the fact I wanted more from the past between the characters. We get told about it, but I would have liked to experience more than just the little glimpses we were given. I’m very much someone who likes to experience the then and the now with second chance romances, and I would have just liked that little bit more so that I could have appreciated the then and now of the relationship more deeply. Like I said, it’s not a big thing, but I tend to find reasons not to give five-star ratings rather than reasons to give them. This is a reflection of me being a bad person rather than this being a bad book, because I honestly believe this is my favourite book of the year so far. The fact it was nearly my first five-star rating in over a year shows that.
Before I gush any more, I think it is time for me to bring this review to an end. To sum up my thousand-plus-words ramble, this book was truly amazing. Fabulous, wonderful, and all the other synonyms you can think of to say it blew my mind. Rock King hit me hard, Rock Legend hit me harder, and I’m almost scared to see how hard the next book in the Nothing but Trouble series hits me. I’m ready, though. I’m more than ready for book three, and I’m holding out hope of it being the book to break my over a year long dry spell of five-star ratings.
If you’ve yet to dive into the Nothing but Trouble series, you need to go and fix that problem right now.

Gah...
I m a bit disappointed...😕
Disliked the characters...couldn't overlook the stupidity of their reasoning and actions...and the way the 'womanizing and whoring out' of the male character was justified seemed just lame...
Like it's a good thing cause, well you know, he would have a lot of experience....I mean, seriously?!
And the fact that the guy didn't even seek the woman he supposedly loved and regret leaving 6 years ago for fame and success, when he sees her again, he all.of a sudden 'feels' the love...
Get the fuck out of here!!! Seriously?!
And yeah, she spent all these years angry and avoiding him (cause she did actually work in his proximity) and then all it takes is one touch of this 'experienced manwhore Rock Legend on the drums' to make her give in and then ah....all the fuckin drama begins...
I dunno....i just didn't feel it
It was just too lame....sorry😐
Inspite the effort of a twisty family issues dealt towards the end It just wasn't enough to bring more substance to the whole package....
I m a bit disappointed...😕
Disliked the characters...couldn't overlook the stupidity of their reasoning and actions...and the way the 'womanizing and whoring out' of the male character was justified seemed just lame...
Like it's a good thing cause, well you know, he would have a lot of experience....I mean, seriously?!

"I’d carry her to the ends of the earth if she’d let me."
This is the first book I've read from Tara Leigh, and I really enjoyed it! I loved Landon and Piper. Even though I wanted to nut punch this guy several times. But man, he was a tortured soul, and I fell for him. I finished this book in ONE sitting, and really loved it! If you love a second-chance-romance and tortured man-whore rock star heroes, you should totally grab this one!
---
ROCK LEGEND
I'm no Prince Charming.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.
Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.
Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.
Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.

AVAILABLE NOW - FULL REVIEW
4 My Home CROWNS
Rock Legend is the second stand alone in the Nothing But Trouble series, and the journey of Landon and Piper is so sweet and sexy. Watching these two broken people find redemption in each other's arms and a home together is perfection.
Landon was a broken boy who grew up into a broken man. He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, and, as result, lives a life that punishes himself. His choices are made based on his self perception and what he thinks he deserves. What readers get to see is a man who has to realize his self worth and find that he is worthy of a family and love. Readers are going to love him and all his pieces.
Piper is another sad soul who has lived a life feeling completely unwanted. She once thought she found someone who would love her, and that shattered, which has left her a bit guarded. What readers are going to love about Piper is who they get to see her become. She, by he end of the book, is stronger and doesn't find her worth in others but in herself. She is better able to love when she realizes this is enough.
Rock Legend is a romance. It follows the typical broken manwhore and the woman he left behind, but it is more about finding a home. These two are so lost, searching for someone to love and to feel worthy of that love. Watching these two deal with their demons, heal, and find their home with each other is so rewarding, and at the end of the story I was left with a feeling of contentment.
Rock Legend is a romance that is filled with hope - the promise that you can find a group of people who will love you uncondicitionally, that there are always second chances when it comes to the heart, and that love can heal the soul. Tara Leigh is creating a family with this group of rockers, and I am loving every minute of it.

WOW!! I loved, loved, loved Rock Legend by Tara Leigh, book two in her Nothing But Trouble series. Ms. Leigh created a wonderful and emotional story between two people growing up with troubled pasts, one in foster care until adopted and the other feeling she needed to be perfect to be loved.
After a six year separation, Landon and Piper were given a second chance to repair what went wrong with their prior relationship. Landon needed to get his act together and control the sex, drugs and alcohol he used to disguise his loneliness and desire for Piper, before and after their run in at a Nothing But Trouble concert. He really needed to curb his self-destructive behavior and stop running away when things go wrong. Piper suffered from the perception that she had to be perfect to be worthy of love. What she learns is that no one is perfect and it’s okay to make mistakes and still be loved. Landon and Piper are truly a match made in heaven and hell as they lead one another on a roller coaster journey before being able to accept and give love.
Ms. Leigh wrote a wonderful and emotional story that drew me into her book and the lives of her characters, making me forget the world around me. I had trouble putting this book down, turning page after page, not letting go until I turned the last page, still wanting more and really looking forward to the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

➳ Rate: 5 / 5 stars
If I thought I had liked Rock King, I honestly had no clue how much I would love Rock Legend. But man did I!
If there's one thing I really love about second chance romances, it's all the angst they give me. I live for it. And this book had it so good!! Landon and Piper had met in college and dated for 2 blissful months until the moment he had to make a decision about his future in Nothing But Trouble. He made a decision based on his guilt over something that happened in his past and he has regretted it ever since. Leaving his Pippa was the second thing he regretted most in life.
He no longer was the young men she used to know, he was a rockstar, a legend who lost himself in alcohol, drugs, women and playing his drums.
Piper worked in the same industry as Landon but up until this moment had managed to stay away from him. But with Delaney wanting to surprise Shane, she had to go with her and do her job. She knew this time she wouldn't be so lucky not to cross paths with Landon but she wasn't expecting the night to end up like it did.
That night Landon comes face to face with a blast from the past. It came as a shock to see Piper in his dressing room but he wasn't about to waste the opportunity to be with the love of his life again. Even though she pretended not to want anything to do with him and fought him off, Landon was not giving up on her. This was his second chance and he was not about to leave her again.
I honestly did not like either of these characters very much in Rock King. I had been very on the fence about Piper, and Landon seemed like a douche most of the time. But this book totally changed my view on them. Both of them kept up a facade to the world but there was so much more to these two and I loved getting to know the real person behind their masks. And together... they were fire and ice, and I both loved and loathed the way they were with each other; either they were fire and super cute or they were ice and I wanted to slap either one or both of them, there was no in between.
Not only did I love Rock Legend more than I did Rock King, I feel like the writing was also better and I really loved it. It was lyrical, soulful and just beautiful. I loved everything about this book and these two. I wanted more.
Can't wait for what's next in the series. The little snippets we got of Dax and Verity had me dying for more. I can already tell I'm gonna love it. Enemies to lovers, hmm yes please! Can't wait for Fall!

"Want to know the difference between a legend and a fairy tale? Only one of them ends happily ever after."
Rock Legend, the second installment of the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh is a great second chance novel about a hot troubled drummer.
"Her energy shuddered through me, flipping a switch I hadn't realized had been locked in the off position until now. Until seeing Piper. Touching Piper. Kissing Piper. Again."
Landon is really something. During his story he shows many facets. The ones you can't help falling in love with and the ones that makes you want to take the hand of the broken boy, telling him everything is going to be ok.
Tara did really well writing and exploring his trouble with substance abuse. It was obvious he always replaced one addiction with another until he realized what really matters most to him and changed directions.
"Nothing worth having comes easy."
Piper is beautiful in her own broken way. In Rock King we got a glimpse of Piper and I already had my biased opinion about her. Lesson learned: Don't judge a book by its cover. She's strong, so strong and I'm really happy that she found in Landon a guy who appreciates her for who she really is and not for her perfection.
"Piper and I were so much alike that we were exact opposites. Mirror images."
Landon and Piper work well together. But I didn't get as much chemistry vibes than I got from Shane and Delaney. Their story was well plotted but to me mostly predictable. The part I loved most was the petting pups center. I truly love this idea and how Tara has woven a personal experience into this book.
"I needed to know him. The rock star and the wounded boy. The loner. The legend. Landon Cox was all of those things. And then some."
I really enjoyed reading Rock Legend, but it couldn't really keep up with my feelings for Rock King.

I’m giving this book 5-stars. Let me tell you why.
I read Rock King and the author introduced me to Piper Hastings. She also gave me a brief glance at Landon Cox. Nothing but Trouble’s drummer with a reputation that was more infamous than the man. Rock Legend is Piper and Landon’s story.
Piper and Landon have a history that didn’t work out. She knew him before he became a rock star. She knew the real Landon Cox.
Both characters have baggage they hide from each other. But as always, the truth usually comes out at the worst time.
The sparks are still there between them. The author knows how to write some very sexy angst.
Good and bad things happen to both characters. One thing I want to point out is that Landon has some very bad habits. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so I’m leaving it at that.
There were many surprises that I didn’t see coming as I read the book. There were also a few times I wanted to throw my Kindle but didn’t. I continued reading, hoping that Piper and Landon would eventually get their HEA. But did they?
Overall, the book had an amazing storyline. I felt for each of the characters as I found out why they are the way they are today. Piper and Landon are good people who were dealt several bad hands in their lives.
If you love to read rock star romances with lots of angst and very hot sex, then I highly recommend you read Rock Legend. It was well-written with lots of heart.

I absolutely love this full of angst rockstar romance. The story for me was far better than some that I have read and beings as this is one of my favourite tropes. It's a huge deal. I devoured this book in a couple of days not wanting to put it down at all and waking in the night to read little more before sleep claimed me again. This book had me hooked from the start.
This forbidden, cat and mouse, second chance romance was so good to read as it played out. In some parts, I was shocked by what I read and others it was beautiful. It also was heartbreaking to read that children were treated like that. Piper and Landon were both effects by their childhoods in different ways. It affected them and their relationship but what really affected it was what had occurred when they first fell in love years before the fame and the fortune.
This story has secrets and they are not mine to tell. They are hard to read but you can see why the characters act and behave like they do. This isn't a basic story about a rockstar falling in love. It's not all sunshine and roses. It definitely is a hard road to read but the outcome is all that matters.
This is a huge recommend from me. This is a great read and a fantastic series so far. I can wait to read what happens with the rest of Nothing But Trouble.

If you read Rock King, then you knew you were in for a really good book with Rock Legend. But I didn’t expect that Tara writing would bring tears to my eyes. Landon and Piper were together only for a couple of month’s six years ago before Landon just disappeared on Piper. Piper has spent the last few years trying to avoid Landon as much as possible. The hard part of that is she works for Nothing but Trouble manager and Landon is the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. So what will happen when Piper is told to babysit Landon?
Rock Legend is the perfect example of why I love second chance romances, the angst, the amazing sexy moments and all the emotions. This book will break your heart; glue it back together and just when you think it is together - BOOM! - It’s broken again in the most painful way. At this point, you throw the book at the wall because you think there is no way an HEA is coming. But don’t worried there is an HEA just might be a bump along the way.
Tara, you made me fall in love with Rock King, broke my heart with Rock Legend. I am afraid to see what you do to me with Rock Rebel.

Love Rock Star Romances! This is the first story that I have read by Tara Leigh and it definitely will not be the last. Well written with great character development.
This is a second chance romance, and I loved learning about their past history and what happened between them. These two clash and it’s ridiculously fantastic! I enjoyed the animosity, their bickering and their chemistry immensely. But their is also a lot for them to work through, to heal their hearts.
Get ready for an emotional roller coaster, but also be ready for a whole lot of sweetness, and off the charts sexy in this Rock Star Romance.

I enjoyed Rock King, but I LOVED Rock Legend. Landon and Piper get their second chance at love in this book, but it is a long and bumpy road that the two must travel to get to their HEA. There were times that I honestly didn't think things would end well for them and wondered if we were going to be left with a cliffhanger. This book was not rushed at all, it just felt like they had one obstacle after another and the way they were pilling up....well it wasn't looking good for them.
Tara Leigh gutted me with the epilogue. I enjoyed the steamy read, even with all the obstacles sexy time was plentiful and HOT! But the epilogue had me crying like someone close to me was going through what was happening and I know it's because of the way the book was written. Tara Leigh pulled me in right from the very beginning and made me feel as if I was right there witnessing it all first hand as one of their closest friends would be, so yes I was balling like a baby for a while....even after I finished the book!

Landon Cox is a legend! And he sure lives up to people's expectations. But despite it all, he's still human and has many flaws in his life behind his rockstar/drummer image. Sure, he's lived in fame and fortune with his band Nothing But Trouble, but his own troubled, fragile heart doesn't live like it used to.. All because of one Piper Hastings whom he's loved and lost.
Working for a Management company that caters to the very same rock band Landon is part of, Piper Hastings has done a great job of escaping Landon's attention. Until that one momentous day when she discovers her current boyfriend cheating on her. While she doesn't realize Fate seemed to have led them to each other, Piper is still adamant that Landon deserves nothing from her and that she's no longer invested with her feelings for him. If only those words were true...
For the second time around, I fell in love with Tara Leigh's writing and rockstar characters. They weren't perfect, but they're perfectly capable of captivating their audience (and readers alike). That's saying a lot about Tara Leigh. She's done a wonderful job keeping us readers in our toes, (mine particularly curling while swooning), and done an excellent job making us happy and satisfied, at least until the next book! Looking forward to more of Leigh's engrossing writings and awesome rockstars and their baes!

Another great rock romance on the guys from Nothing But Trouble! The second book of the series is Landon’s story who happens to be the drummer of the group. Landon is the “Legend” not only for his mad drumming skills but also by being a “legend” onto all the women he beds. (the man has mad skills with that as well)
Before Landon the legend hit it big Nothing But Trouble was playing to bars and clubs but was given a chance at hitting it big. The only problem back then was that after being called to a meeting they were given an ultimatum with board a plane that very minute and leave the cell phones behind or they were being dropped... The guys knew this was their one chance of hitting it big especially with the backing they were getting so they all left without a word to anyone. The only problem at that time was that Landon had a woman he was falling in love with and he had no way of contacting her to let her know that he wouldn’t be coming back after his meeting. Piper thought the only thing she could…he walked out on her leaving her heart broken. Years later and the two finally meet again and with everything they both have had to deal with growing up it was hard to see that this second chance would ever work out.
I loved Landon and Piper’s story because it was full of surprises and a chemistry that was hot as h*ll. The childhoods they both had was sad and you wondered how they ever could come back and really be a functioning couple with any hope of a future. This series hasn’t lost a step…it started off great with book 1 and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Leigh will give us in the next book of their series.
Before Landon the legend hit it big Nothing But Trouble was playing to bars and clubs but was given a chance at hitting it big. The only problem back then was that after being called to a meeting they were given an ultimatum with board a plane that very minute and leave the cell phones behind or they were being dropped... The guys knew this was their one chance of hitting it big especially with the backing they were getting so they all left without a word to anyone. The only problem at that time was that Landon had a woman he was falling in love with and he had no way of contacting her to let her know that he wouldn’t be coming back after his meeting. Piper thought the only thing she could…he walked out on her leaving her heart broken. Years later and the two finally meet again and with everything they both have had to deal with growing up it was hard to see that this second chance would ever work out.

Here I am again …. Reading Tara Leigh’s second book in the “Nothing But Trouble” series ….
If you read my review for “Rock King” which was the first book in that series … you can imagine that I had really high expectations when it came to Rock Legend…. And …. Ms. Leigh delivered!
I will not say exceeded because I am careful, as I do not want to raise my own expectations (as well as my fellow readers’ ones) even more when it comes to the next book. *lol*
But she truly delivered. Already in the previous story I felt that her writing style was really engaging. The pain and depth of the characters felt real to me. Her characters have so many layers that it is really a pleasure to meet them only to start peeling all these layers off. The story is written in a way that this peeling does not stop until the very end which keeps the story fresh from beginning to end.
There were a lot of parts I would love to quote (my kindle is full of markings) but those would mean little if I did not include spoilers so I refrain. But some parts of the storyline really hit home and my heart was heavy reading lines that felt privately familiar to me. I really had a moment wondering how it was Moments like this I wished it was acceptable to quote half the book here just to make people understand how it felt.
My thoughts … In the beginning I was not sure if I liked our male lead here – but I trusted the author to guide him (and me) and as the story progressed he became an interesting person with significant past and background. What I didn’t like ? Well there was an issue with a person taking his cell phone – yeah the part is needed to get the story to a certain point but I was enraged wishing for a different explanation, a better one, as this was not enough for me – but true to her writing style – Ms. Leigh guided me through these feelings as well.
Our female lead was overall likeable only there was an issue with a cucumber and the story part that lead to the cucumber where I was shaking my head thinking … “you can not seriously believe that” – but I loved that she never went over board with her actions like a lot of characters do.
The secondary characters of the story – which are basically the other members of the band – slowly move into focus during the story and get a few layers added to them. So I knew early on who would feature the next book. And I noticed something interesting in my own reaction to them. While I am not that impressed yet with the idea of the next female lead I am intrigued with the male, because of some hints that were dropped during the story. Last time I felt the same but when I read the story exactly the opposite happened so lets see if the same happens with the next book.
And I really can not wait to read the next one. :- )

I have to say I am loving the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh. In Rock Legend we get an emotional, touching and heartbreaking second chance romance. So far, this is my favorite! I devoured Landon and Piper’s story.
Landon came from nothing and never expected to be anything. But when the chance of a lifetime happens and he and his friends hit it big, he grabs it with both hands. But in doing so, he lost the woman he loved. Piper thought Landon was the one for her. But then he was gone and never really knew why. Now they are back in each other’s lives. Is this a second chance or is it already too late for them?
Landon is your typical rocker. Since hitting it big, he is the bad-boy player with no regrets. But deep in his heart he has one regret. Something that has been missing. Piper was not going to give Landon another chance to break her heart. She was left heartbroken and devastated. But can they truly deny what has always been between them?
Rock Legend by Tara Leigh is an emotional second chance romance, but it one that will keep you turning the pages, even as you want to throw your Kindle. This was a slow burn romance with angst and heartbreak, but the journey is so worthwhile! Though you can technically read Rock Legend as a standalone, it would be a much better experience to read Rock King first. You will not regret it, as it is a great read as well.

My first Tara Leigh book was fan-freaking-tastic! 😍. Landon and Piper would not have been any more wonderful. Just the right amount of messed up. I'm always a sucker for a 2nd chance romance. I also love Rock star romances. So this book was totally up my alley!
I love when people admit that they've made a mistake and go above and beyond to make it right! Landon's addictions made this took a lot more difficult for him, but I had faith that he would get it together! In reading the epilogue I found part of it slightly disturbing and I was quite happy it showed up there and not as a full blown chapter of their story... Then I just might have had to be very angry at Ms Leigh!
I'm quite excited to read more from Tara Leigh. This series is very entertaining! 💜

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks to the author for providing a copy of this book via Netgalley
I don’t know, i think i’ll give this book 3,5-3,75 stars.
Its a rock-star romance + second chance romance. I didnt like how Landon left Pipper 6 years ago. I didnt like his “forget her” style: manho and buzz and drugs, fights... Man up and go for your girl, if you think she was “the light of your life”...
Ok, later he redeem himself, but still not immediately. But i like the author’s writing style, could not put this book down the whole night.
There are scenes with OP. No cheating.

Not what I expected. Which is good. I expected more drama and angst. More in your face frustration. This was more subtle. The anger the characters had was more at themselves and their situations. The angst was more frustration over misunderstandings and where they were in each others lives and with themselves.
Piper was a strong but vulnerable character. She was what Landon needed. She didn’t hold back her thoughts or words. Put him in his place when he needed it even if it would hurt both of them. She didn’t care about fame or fortune. Just being with someone who loved her. Landon did but he didn’t love himself. Piper was always trying to be perfect to gain love and with Landon she didn’t need to be.
Landon was a drummer who harbored some serious guilt from something in the past. So much so that he pushed people away and numbed his pain with alcohol, drugs and woman. Only there was one woman who he never got out of his mind and heart-Piper. On the outside he seemed arrogant and demonstrative. On the inside he was kind, caring, a marshmallow and self destructive. He was destroying himself because of a moment in time long ago. Only Piper helped him feel alive and worthy of anything. He had a tough childhood until he came into the Cox’s home and that is where his guilt and self loathing stems from. Piper made him feel he was more like the Cox’s did only he can’t forgive himself. They understood each other and were the other’s lobster.
Only they had so many obstacles to overcome and that is what we see in this book. All the obstacles they face and journey through. Landon’s journey was the longest and the one with the most demons and darkness. It took a long road for him to realize his feelings and what he needed to do before he could be whole again. He lived so long with guilt, denial and self hatred that it was hard for him to stop. Stop being who he wasn’t and fight for himself and what he wanted-a family and love. He will capture your heart but also frustrate you with his stubbornness.
The attraction between the two was palpable and really sucked you into their story more. Their story isn’t easy but a long hard road writhed with heartbreak, misunderstandings, truths to be faced and demons to slay. We get Piper’s and Landon’s view and each will draw you in. They give a complete picture no holds bar on what they are feeling and going through. The feelings they are having are raw and you will feel for them at different times. You also root for them to make it and especially Landon. You so want him to be the man that Piper sees and we see glimpses of because he is just hurting so much and so lost that you want him to find himself once again.
The story is well written, emotional and draws you into their journey of self discovery, forgiveness of themselves and their pasts, moving on, letting go and finding love that is never ending and worth making the hard choices and fighting for.

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm no Prince Charming.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.
Am I surprised? Hell, no. It's a reputation I've earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune... and spent every damn day since pretending I don't regret it.
Now fate's dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it's a second chance for me - for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can't give Piper a future.
Because there's a difference between a legend and a fairy tale...
Only one of them ends happily ever after.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I usually love books about band members, and this one could have been so much better.
It wasn´t a bad book, but it didn´t grow to its full potential.
Landon just gave me hives with his childishness. He was so weak, never capable to man up on his own.
And always blaming Piper for his problems. Oh, she doesn´t want me so I´m going to bury myself in drugs. Oh, she doesn´t want me, so nothing else matters.
I like the book full of angst as much as the girl next door, but sometimes its angsty feel forced and completely unnecessary.
Go on by yourself Piper, you deserve better.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eu geralmente amo livros sobre membros da banda, e este poderia ter sido muito melhor.
Não foi um livro ruim, mas não alcançou todo o seu potencial.
Landon me deu coceira com sua infantilidade. Ele era tão fraco, incapaz de se responsabilizar por suas atitudes.
E sempre culpando Piper por seus problemas. Oh, ela não me quer, então eu vou me enterrar em drogas. Oh, ela não me quer, então nada mais importa.
Eu gosto do livro cheio de angústia tanto quanto qualquer mulher, mas às vezes essa angústia parece forçada e completamente desnecessária.
Siga sozinha Piper, você merece mais do que isso.

I loved this book. It had me turning pages faster than I could possibly read. I just had to know if Piper would end up with Landon. It was such a cute love story. I love how Landon describes Piper as the one that he will always regret yet she has been so close to him for 3 years. I mean Piper keeping her identity and involvement with the band away from Landon took a lot of work. Just that build up alone had me wanting them to end up together. I was so happy both Landon and Piper were able to resolve some issues from their families. I love when a story can truly have a happy ending and each character is now living up to the best of their ability. I also loved how there were so many things I didn´t see coming. I mean talk about excellent writing. There were so many things that my jaw just dropped while I was reading. This is my first book from this author but it won´t be my last. I loved her writing style and the way the story just flowed so well. I enjoyed the depth she was able to bring into even the background characters. I mean Delaney and Piper going to the same high school but weren´t friends, but now they are friends because of Nothing But Trouble. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance with twists you didn´t see coming and two people you will instantly fall in love with!

Fame and fortune. Hollywood Hills and chemically induced thrills.
Wow! I really enjoyed Landon & Piper’s story! Rock Legend is book #2 in the Nothing But Trouble series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Rock God, (book #1) is Shane & Delaney’s story. Rock Legend is a definite building block in the Nothing But Trouble series.
Landon Cox is the ‘legendary’ drummer for the world famous band - Nothing But Trouble. He has the 3 C’s – cocky, cool and confident. Being a drummer allows him to burn through all of his chaotic thoughts. Sex and booze is his alternative coping mechanism, thus earning him his ‘legendary’ status.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I'm also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, "The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet." Apparently, I'm a legend.
Piper Hastings grew up trying to be perfect. We first meet her in Rock God as Delaney’s friend from back home – New York. Piper has many reasons for needing to be perfect. This propelled her to LA for college and then work. Piper is a public relations assistant for one of the hottest talent managers in Hollywood who also represents Nothing But Trouble.
Piper and Landon have history. Six years ago Landon had to choose. His career or Piper. For reasons that are explained (no spoilers) he choose his career. Landon has no idea that Piper works for his talent manager Travis Taggert. Piper has been able to avoid Landon until one night she couldn’t….
After six years, how would Landon taste?
Like regret, I realized with a sickening thud. Because regret is all that remained of what we once shared.
Talk about a moment! Landon is stunned to see Piper. He thinks about the girl he left behind six years ago…
Six years ago, I traded Piper’s intimate whispers for center-stage drum solo’s, her dazzling smiles for the anonymous adoration of a million faceless fans.
Piper and Landon take us on an emotional journey filled with second chances, fear, poor self-esteem, insecurities, self-loathing, lust, and mistakes. So many mistakes! In many ways each of them feel as if they are not good enough for the other. While Piper often feels rejected, Landon feels as if he is not enough. They each cope in their own ways.
Seeing Piper again after all this time was all it took to strip away the elaborate pretense I fooled myself into believing- that I was doing fine without her.
I wasn’t.
Just when you think things are ok, they’re not. Life happens and many situations occur. In the end, it’s how they handle the situations that will matter. Rock Legend was everything and more! The buildup was steady and the emotions real. Piper and Landon share great chemistry! I knew Landon would be a handful and I was not disappointed! I am enjoying the Nothing But Trouble series. Although each story is a stand-alone, reading Rock God (book #1) helps set the scene. Each one gets better and better!
Looking forward to Dax & Verity’s story in Rock Rebel!

Second chances and hot sparks flying? Yes please! I absolutely loved this book! This is my first Tara Leigh book and let me tell you, I am so glad that I started with this one! I was instantly pulled to the story, and was taken on a whirlwind ride.
Piper and Landon truly tugged at my heart and I fell in love with them so many times over in this story. The passion that sparks between them is incredibly magnetizing and I felt it all to my core. The heartache and pain that they dealt each other became my own with each page turn.
This book owned me. It's definitely worth 4 Bonfires and more! What are you waiting for? Grab it now and let it own you, body and soul. Great job, Tara! Can't wait for more.

Wow!! I started reading this book with absolutely no expectations. I read the blurb, it sounded good so I dug in. I was blown away with how much I loved this incredible story. The characters are flawed, troubled, lovable, and completely intriguing. Piper and Landon have a history and it isn't something Piper wants to repeat. He shredded her heart once and she isn't about to give him a chance to do it again. Her job may have her dealing with him but that's as far as she's willing to let it go. Landon has other ideas. He knew walking away from her was a mistake and now he wants a second chance. What will it take for Piper to trust him again and is he really up for it?
I absolutely loved this book. Although it's the second in the series I read it with no problem not having read the prior book. I highly recommend this to everyone.

After falling madly in love with the first book in this series, Rock King, I had high expectations for this one, and it did not let me down! A second-chance rockstar romance that is sweet, intense and passionate with a tortured hero and a strong yet vulnerable heroine, this book had all the feels, and I was completely sucked in from start to finish. I loved it!
Landon is the drummer of rock band Nothing But Trouble, but he’s just as well known for his legendary skills between the sheets. Considered the sexiest man in rock, he is a legendary playboy whose life is nothing but women, partying and music, but he is hiding a painful past and he’s about to come face to face with one of the biggest parts of it.
Piper works in PR for the firm that handles the band’s management. She has managed to stay in the background for the last few years, hiding the fact that once upon a time, she and Landon were each other’s whole worlds. It’s been six years since he left her without a word and she still carries a lot of pain from his abandonment. But when they meet up once again, all of those feelings are uncovered and the feels are unleashed!
OMG, I love a second chance romance, and Landon and Piper’s reunion is absolutely fantastic! Full of intensity, emotion and sizzling chemistry, you can feel everything that is between them, and I loved them together! Though so much has happened since they last saw each other, neither of them can fight their attraction, and their passion for each other is explosive, as is their unreserved need to be together.
But the pain of their pasts and have left their mark on both of them. Landon in particular has been through so much, and he’s been left damaged and scarred. I could feel his pain, and my heart ached for him! And Piper has her own issues that she’s dealing with. They have a difficult journey ahead of them with twists and turns and more heartache, and I could not put this book down as it all played out.
And yes! The romance! It’s sweet, super sexy and beautifully emotional. They have to work hard for their happy ending, but they get it, and I had tears in my eyes as it all happened for them – topped off with an absolutely gorgeous epilogue!
I loved this book. It completely sucked me in, and I fell I love with these characters and their beautifully emotional story.
The book ties in really nicely as part of the Nothing But Trouble series, though you could read it as a standalone – but Rock King is a fantastic read and you wouldn’t want to miss out on that one! And with the next book hinted at in this one, I am so excited for this series to continue.
A fantastic read!
4.5 stars.

She has managed to stay in the background for the last few years, hiding the fact that once upon a time, she and Landon were each other’s whole worlds. It’s been six years since he left her without a word and she still carries a lot of pain from his abandonment. But when they meet up once again, all of those feelings are uncovered and the feels are unleashed!
I walked away without a backward glance, so afraid that if I turned around, even for just a split second, I’d be incapable of leaving her at all. Ever.
And I’d been running from that regret ever since.
OMG, I love a second chance romance, and Landon and Piper’s reunion is absolutely fantastic! Full of intensity, emotion and sizzling chemistry, you can feel everything that is between them, and I loved them together! Though so much has happened since they last saw each other, neither of them can fight their attraction, and their passion for each other is explosive, as is their unreserved need to be together.
“Just because I had reasons for leaving you before doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a goddamn mistake. One I’m never making again, you hear me? … Wasted six years without you, I don’t want to waste another hour.”
But the pain of their pasts and have left their mark on both of them. Landon in particular has been through so much, and he’s been left damaged and scarred. I could feel his pain, and my heart ached for him! And Piper has her own issues that she’s dealing with. They have a difficult journey ahead of them with twists and turns and more heartache, and I could not put this book down as it all played out.
“Jesus Christ, Pippa. Do you have any idea what you do to me? You completely wrecked me. The mess I’ve made of my life, you make me want to fix it. You make me think I can fix it. but more than anything else – when I’m with you, I want to fucking live. Just take everything I can out of this one shot we’re all given. And I want to rock the shit out of it. Not just on stage or in a music studio. But with you. Anywhere and everywhere…with you.”
And yes! The romance! It’s sweet, super sexy and beautifully emotional. They have to work hard for their happy ending, but they get it, and I had tears in my eyes as it all happened for them – topped off with an absolutely gorgeous epilogue!
“You deserve the world, Landon Cox.”
He touched his forehead to mine, his breath ghosting across my lips. “You are my world, Piper Hastings.”
I loved this book. It completely sucked me in, and I fell I love with these characters and their beautifully emotional story.
“Been waiting my whole life for one person, Piper. You. I love you, and I’m not letting you go, ever again.”
The book ties in really nicely as part of the Nothing But Trouble series, though you could read it as a standalone – but Rock King is a fantastic read and you wouldn’t want to miss out on that one! And with the next book hinted at in this one, I am so excited for this series to continue.
A fantastic read!
4.5 stars.

Wowzers Tara Leigh. You've done it again. I just can't even express the love I have for this Nothing But Trouble series. Landon and Piper's story was so rich, deep with emotions. Where second chance romance was at it's finest. I didn't want to close the page on their story but felt incredibly happy and content with their HEA. I'm counting down the days until I have Rock Rebel on my Kindle and devouring it the same way I did with Rock Legend and Rock King.
