Rock Stars in Disguise: The Boxed Set

by Blair Babylon

Rock and roll bands are pits of self-destruction, drug abuse, and insanity.
And then there are the bad ones.

Killer Valentine breaks all the rules: that the back-up singer is supposed to sleep with the lead singer, that roadies and musos must hate each other, that the band is the most important thing in the world and everything else comes second, even sick kids, and that second-guitar players eventually wither away and die.

But Killer Valentine is different. Very different.
Read about:
• Rhiannon, the sassy, curvy back-up singer who goes on to forge her own career, a female protagonist you’ll love!
• Tryp, the drummer, who is falling into a well of despair, but a roadie with a small taste for pyromania fishes him out. This enemies to lovers story is one for the ages.
• Cadell, lead guitar virtuoso, who is fighting his own addictions and his secret baby daughter’s fatal illness. His secret baby is a different take on the trope that will make you ugly cry.
• Peyton, the hanger-on who should have been a concert pianist, after he ran away to follow the woman he loved but who didn’t love him, and finally gets his own HEA. This second chance lovers book is a hot and steamy romp through the life of a rock and roll star.

They’re all rock stars in disguise, and they’re finally all in one book, just for you.

What A Girl Wants (Rock Stars in Disguise: Rhiannon)

Blair Babylon is the nom de plume of an award-winning, USA Today-bestselling author who used to publish literary fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex and too much interesting plot, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, erotic romance.

[Lil Ms Reads A LOT · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm Completely Addicted to this Series!!

I read each of the books contained within this set when they were first released individually. I have compiled all of my reviews on each book here.

What a Girl Wants- Rhiannon
I have been a fan of Blair Babylon's writing since first reading book #1 in the Billionaires in Disguise Series featuring Rae and Wulf. I was pleased to read that the author's writing style continued to exceed all my expectations in “What a Girl Wants”. The depiction of the world of living life in a rock band is so vividly described that I often wondered if the author was herself a musician or at one point was in a rock band. Her use of imagery easily transported my imagination into the workings of the daily lifestyle that comes with being in an up in coming rock band such as Killer Valentine. Jonas' and Rhiannon's love story flowed easily and I truly enjoyed “watching” these two slightly broken individuals come together and finally find comfort and a sense of home with each other. I look forward to reading the next book in the series featuring the band's drummer, Trypp, as well as one day finding out what the author has in store for the other members of Killer Valentine, such as Xan and Cadell.

Somebody to Love: Rock Stars in Disguise: Tryp
“Somebody to Love” is the telling of Tryp and Elfie's tragic to triumphant story within the Rock Stars in Disguise series. Typical of author Blair Babylon's writing, the reader will find themselves unable to put this book down, possibly losing hours of sleep until every single page has been read in one sitting. The author has truly mastered creating characters so complex and broken that the reader is left feeling emotionally raw from the roller-coaster journey on which they have been lead.
I thoroughly enjoyed “watching” these 2 broken and messed up souls come together, develop a friendship and fall in love. As their damaged pasts were revealed, their growing friendship provided them the strength and desire to not only heal and forge on, but to fall in love as well. Love truly does conquer all. Buy this book, you will NOT be sorry that you did!

The Rock Star’s Secret Baby: Rock Stars in Disguise: Cadel
This book seriously pulled at my heartstrings. The author's previous books tend to take the reader on a wild emotional roller coaster ride of extreme highs and lows, with a dash of mystery, suspense and intrigue thrown in to always keep the reader lusting for more. This book, however, started on a more melancholy note centering around a child's sickness and the melancholy theme continued throughout approximately 90% of the book. The plot was a slow, sweet ride that took the reader from the occasional tear to cheering out loud. While normally I prefer plots that give off an adrenaline junky high at the conclusion of the book, I definitely could not put this book down. I desperately needed to know what happens to Emily. Does Cadell achieve his dream to have a family of his own? Will Andy stand up for herself to her family and finally start making her own decisions about her life based on her own heart's true desires?
This book concludes the story of the rock band Killer Valentine in a way that leaves my curiosity appeased and my heart satisfied. Blair Babylon has done it again! I am already looking forward to seeing where her future writing endeavors take us! Read the entire series, you will not be disappointed!


Santa, Baby (Rock Stars in Disguise: Peyton): A Rock Star Surprise Baby Christmas Romance
Goodness, Blair Babylon can weave a tale like no other! “Santa, Baby” is the conclusion to her epic series revolving around the members of the mega rock band Killer Valentine. This book focused on the band's bassist, Peyton Cabot. The final member of the band who had not yet gotten married, he is tired of being a third wheel at events and after shows. He wants to meet the love of his life, settle down and start a family. Life as a member of a world renowned rock band was not how he envisioned life for himself. When he meets Dr. Raji Kannan, a cardiothoracic surgeon with balls of steel, at a wedding he knew he had met the woman of his dreams. Now how does he go about convincing her to give him her phone number and a chance at a date? They had already had the one night stand. Now Peyton wants a million more nights with this woman.

(While I refuse to spoil this book for others, I do just want to say that I LOVED the event that happened at the hospital during the last quarter of the book. So fitting and brilliant!)

As always with a book written by Blair Babylon, the writing is crisp and poignant, heavily detailed in description to paint a flowing picture, but never to the point of excess where it turns off the reader. I always feel like I am literally standing in a room watching the action unfold live when I read one of her stories. The characters are raw, emotional and real. The storylines are intriguing, with enough twists and turns to leave the reader constantly guessing and unable to put the book down at bedtime. The sexual chemistry combustible and unpredictable. I have read every book in this series and am genuinely sad that it is over.

I look forward to seeing what concept will be behind this author's next series. I can guarantee that I will be reading and savoring every word written upon its release. Please make sure to read Santa Baby and every book in this series. It is nothing short of literary genius!

I read all of the books in this boxed set as they were published. When I went back to look up my reviews of the stories, I was shocked to find out that What a Girl Wants is the first book of Blair's that I read. I would have sworn that Billionaires in Disguise: Rae and Wulf series were the first ones I read. In any case I love Blair's writing and can't recommend this boxed set enough. Below are highlights from reviews I wrote for the books when I first read them.

What a Girl Wants – I read and reviewed this book back in December 2015 – four years ago!
Riannon is a down on her luck aspiring singer. Her trials and tribulations after joining a major band, and the interactions between the characters, were interesting to read. I would caution you that if you don’t like references to drugs, and what is probably the seedier side of a rock star’s life, you may not want to read this. However, know that the main characters do not indulge and, in fact, try to prevent others from indulging so this didn’t bother me.

Somebody to Love – Originally reviewed in April 2016
Tryp is a seriously troubled rock star and Elfie is a troubled pyrotechnics technician for the band Killer Valentine. This was a great story and there is no cliffhanger. Elfie is tasked with babysitting Tryp in addition to her duties as a pyrotechnics technician. They grow close and during the telling of their love story you learn about their troubled pasts.

The Rock Stars Secret Baby – Originally reviewed in June 2016
**Note from December 2019: As a standalone story, this is my favorite book by Blair Babylon. Over three years later I can still remember details about this story and how it touched my heart.**

Dr. Andal (Andy) Kumar is the wonderful and compassionate surgeon assigned to care for Cadell Glynn’s daughter, Emily – the daughter that none of his friends know about. Caudell didn’t know that Emily existed until a few months ago and now he’d do anything to make his daughter well again.

Dr. Andy feels an attraction to Cadell that she can’t seem to help. She is touched by the lengths he goes to in order to provide care for Emily. Cadell has serious demons from his past that he must constantly fight so that he doesn’t let Emily down.

My emotions were all over the place while I read this book. In a few places I thought I’d die laughing (conditioner is my new favorite word but I can’t say any more; you have to read the book). At other times the tears flowed freely along with more than a few sobs. Books that touch my emotions deeply are the best in my opinion and this one did that in spades.

Santa Baby – Originally reviewed in November 2017
I loved Santa Baby. We met Peyton in the Rock Stars in Disguise: Georgie series. Peyton and Georgie had a relationship when they were young but Peyton did something pretty bad to destroy that relationship and their friendship. He came back into her life after she was involved with Xan (Alexandre) and apologized for his misdeeds but it was too late; Georgie was in love with Xan.

I'm so glad that Blair decided to give Peyton his HEA and tell us more about him. He is introduced to Raji at a mutual friend's wedding. They have a quick hook-up and the sparks fly. Raji is a cardiothoracic surgical resident; her only goal is to become the best heart surgeon in the world. She lives for medicine and will let nothing get in her way. That is until life throws her a curve.

Peyton was a bit of a jerk in the Georgie books but boy does he redeem himself in Santa Baby. He and Raji agree to keep tearing up the sheets with each other without any commitment; that's the way Raji wants it. Peyton loves her and will agree to anything to keep her in his life. Unfortunately, when life throws Raji a curve she backs away from Peyton. From the title we already know that a baby is involved but I'm not giving anything else away. The only other thing I'll say is that there is definitely an HEA for Peyton and Raji, just the way there should be.

Blair Babylon's writing always helps to enrich my vocabulary. 😊 Here are a few of the words I looked up while reading Peyton's story: rictus, titer, susurration, and parturition. I love everything about her stories and I can't wait for the next one!

************
In conclusion – if you like hot rock star stories you can't go wrong with this boxed set – or any of Blair Babylon's books.

What a Girl Wants
Rhiannon is an aspiring singer. She lives and breathes music. She's given a chance to sing back up for Killer Valentine and leaps at the chance. The band's manager Jonas is all work, all the time. He doesn't have a home or a safe place to land. The two develop a deep connection, but what will happen when the band finds out? I loved Rhiannon and Jonas so much! They felt the need to be together, but there was so many what ifs. Rhiannon was taking a huge leap and it could prove disastrous. One thing I loved so much was that when they realized how they felt, there was no flip flopping, no hiding.

Somebody to love
The second book, Somebody to Love was so good. It dealt with some heavier topics. Tryp is Killer Valentine's drummer and on a destructive path. There are some things in his past that are brutal and heartbreaking, even more heartbreaking because it happens in real life. The same is true for resident pyrotechnician, Elfie. Both of these have horrifying pasts and cope the best way they know how. They have kind of known each other, but things get interesting when Elfie begins to try to keep Tryp from destroying himself. This book has action, suspense, love and so much more!

The Rock Star's Secret Baby is the third book in the box set and absolutely a must read! Andy is a pediatric transplant doctor specializing in liver transplants. She is the most amazing woman but is made to feel less than by her Very traditional Indian family. There are generations of rules and practices that are so hard to break from. She meets Cadell because of a daughter he recently learned about. His daughter Emily is in liver failure and very sick. I loved so much how sweet and caring Andy is. She really wants to please everyone because she has been conditioned to do so. She develops such a strong bond with Emily and it really shines on the pages. Cadell is equally as amazing. To struggle through the addiction by sheer will and love for his daughter is the ultimate example of what a parent should do. I loved how enraged he was on Andy's behalf and how committed he was to live for Emily to get what she needed from him even if he were die because of it.

The fourth and final book, Santa, Baby, was icing on the cake. Another emotional read that will have you falling in love with Peyton and Raji. These two meet at a wedding and can't seen to stay away from each other. They have a long distance fling, well really it was falling in love, even if it's hard for some to admit. The trouble is that Raji is in a competitive cardiothoracic transplant residency that leaves little time for other commitments. She has a lot of weight on her shoulders. Peyton has had a weird few years. He's made mistakes and tried to fix them which led him to Raji. How will these two get on the same page and prioritize each other and their dreams?

Each book in this box set is a hit. I loved them all for different reasons. This is not formulaic writing. Each book has its own voice with very different characters. No rinse and repeat. Some books deal with harder topics, but there is always a bit of humor added to lift you up when needed. This box set has everything a reader is looking for, action, heat, heart break, humor, and so much love! Blair Babylon is a top five author for me from this box set alone! Read this, you wont regret it!

Rock & Roll All Night!

The Rock Stars In Disguise (RSID) is an AWESOME series that will hook you from the first words! These contemporary romance books are so much more than you’d expect from a typical rock star romance. It pulls us fully into the world of the band Killer Valentine – an up and coming rock group full of unimaginably talented and tortured souls. Each member has their own vibrant personality and jagged flaws; Blair pours their thoughts and experiences through the pages and embeds them directly into your brain (it’s amazing).

Each of the stand-alone books contained in this anthology chronicles one band member’s journey to find their HEA. Caution: do NOT make the mistake of thinking that any their paths will be easy ones! These musos are brilliant and broken in unique and complicated ways. I’m a fan of Blair Babylon’s writing style and imagination – I’ve found her to be a first-rate storyteller across a multitude of series. Her books are well planned out, meticulously detailed, and superbly executed. Every story is emotional and intense. I was on a crazy-intense roller coaster of feels right from the start!

I’m not going to review each of the books here or this post would be five pages long! Instead I’ll give a few thoughts on Tryp and Elfie’s story (Somebody to Love) – I think he’s my favorite. Very (very) hard to choose though, Cadell is a close second.

Tryp, KV’s drummer, is outwardly living the rock star lifestyle, at times barely functional due to drug and alcohol abuse and past hurt. Elfie is the band’s pyrotechnics engineer, bribed by the manager into the additional job of “handling” Tryp and try to keep him out of trouble (or at the very least, alive). She wants nothing to do with him other than as a means to an end for her own long-term goals. She hasn’t had an easy life either, but she is a good person and treats him kindly (even when he’s a mess). She soon realizes that there is much more to Tryp and his vices than she could have ever imagined. Slowly, Tryp and Elfie learn to trust each other (and themselves), and start working together to excise their demons. They find that they are stronger than they know, and better together. They deserve their HEA, but in true Blair style, those traumas won’t be going down without a fight!

This is an outstanding box set – it’s so nice to have all of our band member’s stories in one place (save for Xan – and YES, you should read his books too! If you haven’t yet, I recommend starting with Every Breath You Take – Xan & Georgie Book #1).

I voluntarily received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, although I had already owned 3 of the 4 books included in the box set individually. In fact, I’ve read more than a dozen of Blair’s books, and not once have I been disappointed.

Some Of The Best Written Rockstar Stories You'll Ever Read!!🎶🎤🎆🎸🔥💥💘😭
Rock Stars In Disguise Boxed Set:
Rhiannon
Tryphon
Cadell
Peyton

I thoroughly enjoyed Rhiannon's story. She's brought in, under a very strict contract, to Killer Valentine as their Backing Singer.She's sweet but driven, especially once her confidence is boosted!😉💘🔥🎤 It was nice to see the other side to the hard as nails manager that we've seen from other episodes & characters books. Seeing him falling in love was cute & sexy as hell. They're great together!💘🔥 Xan, the Band's founder & lead singer, is not shown in a great light in this book!!🙈😕💥

Tryp's book is truly a masterpiece of fiction set in a Rock Band!!🌟 He's the Drummer, he's an absolute mess & is speeding his way to self distructuction!😲😢 Effie is the special effects crew member on tour & their Manager charges her with getting Tryp up, preferably sober-ish, for Radio interviews etc as he seems to get on ok with her!🙏 They eventually get closer & their roads lead them both first to their painful & dangerous pasts that they're both hiding from!💔😭 It's such an intense, soul deep & emotion driven read that this story alone is worth buying this boxed set for!!🌟💥

Cadell is their guitar god!🎸🎶 He's a drug addict & now a secret Daddy!😱 Wow this is a story that'll have your heart on the floor. A new Dad trying to save the child he didn't know he had but loves beyond question. Cadence is an absolute darling, her Dr has fallen for her too.😍 The same Dr might just fall for her Daddy as well, but boy is that going to be complicated!🙈 Her family has already arranged her Marriage, in accordance with their cultural & religious beliefs.😱 How will they ever bring the two sides together??🙏💕💥 An exciting, sensitive, romantic & emotive read!🌟

Peyton is the Ex Boyfriend of Xan Valentine's Girlfriend, Georgie.😉 He's also the best fit for the Band as their new Bassist.🎸🎶 He meets Raji & it's just at first sight.🔥 This book spans their relationship over approximately 3 years & then the final chapter is around an extra 18 months. It's sexy, he's the boss in the bedroom, they laugh together a lot, but she shys away from any sort of commitment. She is a Cardiothoracic Surgical Registrar & believes she has no heart to love a man with. From all she's seen and experienced, men don't stick around anyway (Daddy issues). So their relationship is friends with sexy hot benefits & they absolutely can NEVER be seen/connected in public together as he's a 'Rock Star'. Her bosses, apparently, will assume he takes drugs & that she steals them from the hospital for him 😱 Her close friend & Colleague seems to think the same way so it's not that far fetched!!🙈 Things eventually go badly but it's romance 😉💕 Its a wonderfully complex HEA 💘😍

This is an exceptional boxed set. Definitely one *not* to be missed!!🌟

This box set contained some great reads as well as some insight into the rest of the Killer Valentine group. Each book can be read as a stand alone read but when all together explain so much The book What a Girl Wants was a short, good read about Rhiannon and Jonas was one hot read that also gave a small insight into the Killer Valentine band. The pair had amazing chemistry together and had me hooked from the start of their story. This book also left me wanting to know more about the other members of band.
In Somebody to Live,we got Tryp and Elfie's story that had me hooked from the start. The chemistry between the pair was amazing and I enjoyed their interactions when Elfie was helping Tryp to become sober and a better person. This book also gave more insight into the band and made for an addicting read.
In The Rock Star's Secret Baby, we get Cadell and Andy's story that was heartbreaking and inspiring. We learn that as Cadell's secret daughter fights for her life and Andy fights for her freedom from her family to live her life. Throughout the story the pair fight their demons from the past and present while finding love in each other. I loved how the story was told from duel POV as well as the return of the characters from the previous books in the series. I also liked the look into the future at the end.
In Santa Baby, we got to see Peyton get his story told in light and fast moving story. The characters Peyton and Raji made a good pair for what they started their relationship as and had chemistry. It was also nice to get a better insight into Peyton and to see that he had closure in his story with KV.
All books were great reads that I would recommend to others.

Killer Valentine is the next up and coming phenomenon in the fickle world of Rock ‘n Roll. This entertaining collection of four stories features the members of the band as they fight the odds and overcome personal challenges to attain the goal they all so desperately desire – success.

The stories are well written, with intriguing characters, plenty of drama, angst, humor and steamy encounters. I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

WHAT A GIRL WANTS … Rhiannon lives and breathes music, doing everything in her power to have a career as a singer. Is her God-given talent and sheer determination enough though to make it in the cut-throat music industry? What she really needs is one golden opportunity to shine. I loved this backstage view of Killer Valentine – the egos and attitudes of the band members, the trials of their multi-tasking manager and the antics that ensued from the ever-present temptations of booze, drugs, and groupies.

SOMEBODY TO LOVE … Tryp is the quintessential rock star – living life on the edge. A natural walking disaster, his risky behavior has become detrimental. So much so, that Elfie, the band’s pint-sized pyrotechnics technician has been tasked to keep him on the straight and narrow. Facing impossible odds, has she failed before she even starts? I loved the progression of their relationship as it gradually evolved into friendship and so much more.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read each of these stories twice and loved them just as much the second as I did the first. You got Rhiannon in What a Girl Wants - love her character and how she comes into her own standing up to and for Xan as he drives Killer Valentine to achieve great heights. Jonas is a great counter point to Rhiannon. With Somebody to Love, I wanted to get to know Tryp and Elfie better right from the beginning. And the stories of heartache they could tell...wow... very emotional. The Rock Star's Secret Baby: is filled with drama and angst and steamy romance. Cadell fighting his own addictions and for the life of his infant daughter, with the help of beautiful doctor, Andy Kumar. And last, but not least, Santa Baby: . Peyton and Raji have a roller coaster ride in this story that pulled me along every step of the way, all starting with incredible chemistry. Blair Babylon has a way of writing that brings out emotions in her characters...flawed, fighting their own personal demons, and the challenges they face to overcome them. She brings humor into her writing as well as serious moments, and of course there are the sexy parts...makes me want to keep reading! This is a set that I will read again. Blair Babylon is one of those authors that I don't hesitate to buy when I see they're the author. I have yet to be disappointed, and I've read MANY of her books.

I read all of these books and posted my reviews on Amazon before I even knew about Goodreads. My loss because the fascist regime at Amazon decided to delete all of my reviews and bar me from posting additonal ones. That was when I learned the importance of saving my reviews for myself rather than relying on a website to archive them for me.

Now I've been asked to aggregate my reviews for each book to post them for this collection. Unfortunately, I no longer have any of those reviews, so I’ve looked here on Goodreads as well as on Barnes and Nobel, Kobo, and Bookbub. I promise, I’ve read and loved all of them. I have no hesitancy in giving this collection five stars.

What a Girl Wants - I couldn’t find a review for this one.
Somebody to Love - I couldn’t find a review for this one.

The Rock Star’s Secret Baby (06-18-2016)- I found this one on Goodreads and B&N. 5 stars!
I did NOT expect Cadell to be so sensitive. By the end of the book, I was in love with him!! He was compassionate, loving, considerate, ethical, and an attentive dad - and fighting his addiction to heroin in a visceral way. In fact, he describes his addiction in such a way that I could feel his pain and his longing for it.

As always, Blair's writing is amazing - compelling, emotional, and engaging. She is a skilled wordsmith. Some of my favorite lines include:

“Looking at her was like catching his reflection in a funhouse mirror that warped his own face to be tiny and helpless and feminine.”

“That tenuous thing that he called love drifted around him, almost a vapor in his mind.”

“All that weight crushed him like a huge, stone wheel rolling over his chest.”

"I do not," he said from where he was draped over an armchair, his long arms and legs flowing over the sides like a tarantula stuffed in a thimble.

For me, this book ended all too soon. The epilogue, in particular, seemed to stuff an awful lot of information into a short section. I was happy to read the conclusion, but a part of me felt like it was just too perfect. Maybe I just didn't want to see it end.

Santa, Baby (11-06-2017) - I found this one on Goodreads. 5 stars!
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Like meeting up with old friends, once again I was sucked into the world of Killer Valentine. Each time Blair Babylon dedicates a book to a specific character, she somehow makes me fall in love with them, to the point that I almost forget about how much I've loved the others. Each character is lovingly and painstakingly created and brought to life so that I feel their pain and their joy. I especially loved when Georgie told Peyton what she thought of him towards the end of the book. I don't generally get overly emotional when I read because it's pretty easy to remember I'm reading a book, and it's fictional. That doesn't seem to matter when I read one of Blair Babylon’s books because I'm just certain these are real people.

I'm not going to give a synopsis of the story; you can read the blurb for that. What I am going to say is that any time you have the opportunity to read a book from Blair Babylon, drop everything and do it. She is a master storyteller and I highly recommend everything of hers. This one is relatively short, but packs an emotional punch. Of course, it has a HEA.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I first read all the books in this set when they were released individually. They were all excellent and I would definitely recommend reading them. Below are the reviews I originally left for each book.

What A Girl Wants:
I really liked the story of Rhiannon and Jonas and am looking forward to reading upcoming books in the series. The story was an easy read and I had trouble putting it down. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. Rhiannon is a likable character. She has her flaws like the rest of us. She has "chubby" thighs and is self-conscious about her body in front of Jonas. Yet, she has a self-confidence on stage that allows her to succeed and go for her dreams. Jonas falls for her quickly and frequently lets her know how beautiful he thinks she is. They compliment each other well. Some might say the relationship felt rushed, but it is a short story after all. I would have liked the story to be longer to be able to read more about their relationship. Hopefully, we'll get peaks of it in the upcoming books.

Somebody To Love:
This is the second book in the Rock Stars in Disguise series. While it is a standalone story, I highly recommend reading the first book to have a little background on the supporting characters in this one. As for this story, I absolutely loved Tryp and Elfie! Tryp comes from a background that most of us can’t even imagine. Cast out on his own when he was a young teenager and experiencing multiple losses caused Tryp to find a way to survive. Unfortunately, he turned to drugs and alcohol and building a wall between him and others. Elfie’s upbringing wasn’t much better. She had to grow up too fast but learned to be independent and to take no crap from anyone. Together, they have an understanding of each other and soon learn to lean on and trust one another. The chemistry between the two is “explosive”! I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!

The Rock Star's Secret Baby:
Wow! This book was awesome!! I have loved every one of Blair's books that I've read, with Working Stiff being my favorite. After reading The Rock Star's Secret Baby I can say that it has just tied for my favorite. Cadell and Andy's story will pull at your heartstrings. From the beginning, you know these two will have an uphill battle to love and a happy future with each other. They are both fighters and you know they'll persevere. To see Cadell fight for his daughter and then fight for Andy and ultimately fight for himself was wonderful! I am sad to see the end of the Rock Stars in Disguise series but am anxiously awaiting Blair's next book no matter what series it will be a part of.

Santa, Baby:
Every one of the books revolving around the band members of Killer Valentine have been fantastic!! This one is no exception. Peyton has really come across as a jerk in the past. With this story we get to see his softer, gentler side. It was a pleasant surprise. I loved how his and Raji's relationship was able to develop slowly over time. They made a wonderful couple. I highly recommend this story, as well as all the Killer Valentine stories!
*I voluntarily reviewed Advance Reader Copies of these stories. This is my honest review.*

What a Girl Wants (Rock Stars in Disguise: Rhiannon) 
Well Rhiannon knows what she wants, and has lived her whole life pursuing it. When she has the opportunity to audition for Killer Valentine, she doesn't believe she has a hope.
On tour with the band and manager, she keeps the band out of the negative limelight with Jonas.
Together they are a beautiful couple, musically everyone watches Rhiannon grow!


Somebody To Love (Rock Stars in Disguise: Tryp) 
I love Tryp. And Elfie is a bright spark in his dark world. This story is action packed and so sensitive. The topics covered are heartfelt and human. It is hard to believe there are people out there who would use and abuse children and call it love!?  
Tryp and Elfie get up to some pretty hilarious antics all while looking for some ass.  Fun rock and roll band with the usual drama and trying to keep their cool but falling for each other as Elfie calms Tryp after each concert.
These two are incredible and giving.  Their rescue is insane and just makes you love them more!


The Rock Star's Secret Baby (Cadell) 
Oh Cadell! To live a life so separate that your closest friends don't even know. So sad. Such a heart wrenching read and so very uplifting as well. He works so hard and gives so much.

Dr. Andy is a stellar match for Cadell.  She is easy going, innocent and does what her family tells her - but she is starting to think she needs to think and decide her life for herself.
Together Dr Andy and Cadell do what they can to make Emily better.

Santa, Baby (Peyton)
He really is the quiet one in Killer Valentine. He's forever ducking out to run off to parts unknown (to the rest of the band anyway). He knows his music isn't KV's style but keeps writing it anyway. He's such a non Rockstar kinda guy. It's the quiet ones you have to look out for!

Raji is a resident in the hospital and her life is dedicated to becoming a doctor- a heart specialist. Nothing and no one is going to get in the way of her plan. She has sacrificed everything to get here.

Unbelievably these two hit it off at a wedding...and like the energizer bunny, they keep going and going...until they hit a wall.

Yup there's trouble brewing and it is an incredible ride through the lives if these two dedicated people.

You are going to love it. Definitely a stand alone which is great and if you've read the rest of the books, there are lots of references and glimpses into Killer Valentine.  

I love this box set.  I enjoyed getting to read about the rest of the band that makes Killer Valentine!  Throughout you get glimpses of Xan as well which just makes it even better.

So many hot Rocks Stars in one box set; it doesn’t get better than this!

What a Girl Wants - Rhiannon
What a Girl Wants is the break-out story of Rhiannon and her love story with Jonas, despite the non-fraternization clause in her contract. From foster care to back-up singer to break-out star, Rhiannon has lived a difficult life and deserves to make it big.
A true love story.

Somebody to Love - Tryp
Somebody to Love is the story of Tryp, which continues the fabulous Rock Stars series. Throughout the series we have been witness to Tryp drinking too much, sleeping with way too many faceless, nameless willing women, and heading down the wrong path with drugs. So when 'roadie' Elfie was assigned to keep an eye on him, keep him sober, and keep him out of trouble, it was so disappointing when he brings her along as his wingman. Thank goodness she fails miserably at being a wingman, and instead helps Tryp begin to face his demons. These two young souls are running from horrific pasts, and in the end are each other's salvation.
In true Blair Babylon fashion, Somebody to Love has lots of action and steamy sex to make it another addicting read!

The Rock Star’s Secret Baby - Cadell
The Rock Star's Secret Baby is the story about Cadell, his continued challenge to stay sober, and his reason for staying sober, 2-year old Emily. No one knows Cadell has a baby, and now he is fighting to keep her alive. The one person who has been a constant for both Emily and Cadell is Dr. Andy, who is fighting the constraints of her conservative Indian family who are planning her arranged marriage.
Blair Babylon pushes the boundaries in The Rock Star's Secret Baby. With Cadeel's drug addiction, you can almost feel the physical and emotional pain that he is experiencing and how hard it is to not give in. There is the conservative culture that is suffocating Dr. Andy, and the need to break free. And, there are many thought-provoking moments in the hospital when small lives are at stake.

Santa Baby - Peyton
OMG, I absolutely loved Santa Baby! The story of Peyton and Raji was exciting, sexy, fun, emotional, and heart-wrenching. It crossed cultural boundaries; spoke to women in a predominantly male workforce, perserverance, and a strong work ethic. It was truly amazing. And the best part, you got to catch up with all of the other members of the band!

Loved this boxed set; highly recommend this for all to read! Like all other Blair Babylon books, you will not be able to put it down once you start reading.

I read ARCs of the books within this boxed set and willingly left this honest review!

A Blair Babylon essential. These 4 stories will ROCK you(pun intended!). Lol I read the collection slowly, from the forbidden tryst, to the unimaginable twists of fate, then sheer kismet of Doctor and Rocker and finally the evolution of love on a spreadsheet!
I love every story. Each one will grip your heartstrings and tug. Hard!
Then, I read it all again. To try to imbue this review with even 1% of the brilliance of Blair's mind. Her stories are always exhilarating, heart breaking, frustrating at times and never once, has she shirked, in any of her many books that I have had the privilege to read, her heartfelt responsibility to research every single thing. She doesn't just create characters and let them loose. She flavors our imagination so much that you can feel that buttery croissant (or that luscious, um, kiss!) lol. We hear the music in our minds, some of us are lucky enough to see the notes, colored and textured, weave their rhythm around us. She paints landscapes that urge us into summer mode, when the characters are in the Southwest and to feel the heaviness of the sun's rays.
So, read, mull over and LUV these stories. It is so totally worth staying up late, getting up early or maybe just putting errands off a bit.

I've read all of these books, (I even have 3 of them as paperbacks, signed by the author,) and love having them collected in one place - perfect!

Blair writes the most fascinating characters, from diverse backgrounds, with real, compelling personalities, involved in enthralling, complex plots that can span several books. Often, characters appear in OTHER character's series, interconnecting them in the most mind-blowing ways... I adore writing like that.

In this set, you get satisfying, stand-alone stories that give you a really healthy dose of "Killer Valentive" goodness, without having to fully devote yourself to a multi book commitment if you don't have the time. Which is not to say that ANY of the books are short - they certainly are not. But you don't have to have read any one of them to understand or enjoy the others in the compilation. They're certainly related to eachother, but not a series.

If you enjoy Contemporary Romance involving Rockstars, interracial/cultural couples, or really any form of Contemporary Romance with a touch of drama (overcoming drug abuse, health issues, cultural misunderstandings, surprise babies... you get the idea), you MUST give this set a try! You won't regret it, I promise.

I am a huge Blair fan. I have read every book in this series, and there are a lot! I bought many of them as single books but was extremely grateful when she started boxing them together. Not only does it save you money but you can read them one after the other and not miss much. I’m a stickler, so I’ve read them all in chronological order. That being said I loved rereading about the band members of Killer Valentine again. This box set includes the stories of all the members except Xan Valentine. He has a whole series of his own that you won’t want to miss. These books deal with all the trials and tribulations that an up and coming rock band would deal with. Blair pulls no punches and tells it like it is. There is sadness, hilarity, romance and steamy scenes. Some of Blair’s finest writing. Each member has his own story to tell and you will be hooked from the first page to the last. Seriously do yourself a favour and start the series with this box set. I have a feeling you’ll be hooked like I was and need to read the whole series too.

Rock Stars in Disguise is a fabulous series that will both entertain and delight all readers! I normally don't read about rock stars, but this series left me completely enthralled and wanting so much more. These stories are so much more then your typical story, and they each stole a piece of my heart until it was no longer mine. What an incredible collection of heart and soul that will touch your soul with more heart and depth then you can imagine.

Each story is completely unique and so utterly indescribable. You will find yourself completely addicted and hopelessly in love with these stunning characters. You will walk away changed and never the same again.

Blair Babylon is the true gold standard of romance writing. She knows how to touch her readers in a forever way that leaves you coming back for so much more. Her talent is truly beyond compare. You will never regret experiencing her breathtaking stories! In fact, i encourage you to take the leap and give her an honest try.

This Box set presents four interesting and complicated RockStar relationships that range from seriously angsty to very romantic and heartwarming, of course with each story containing serious steam heat. Reading the whole series also gives insight not only into how the band evolves as musicians, but also as an extended family who love and support each other.

I really liked stories one and two, but my favourite was the third offering: The Rock Star’s Secret Baby and that story is going on my All Time Favorites List. Looking forward to the Epilogues on Blair Babylon's website to see how Killer Valentine are living their HEAs.

1, What a Girl Wants- Rhiannon - 4.5 Stars
2 Somebody to Love - Tryp - 4.5 stars
3. The Rock Star’s Secret Baby - Cadell 5 Stars +
4. Santa, Baby - Peyton – 3 Stars

[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buy this set... This is one of my favourite series from the author, sweet story, that keeps you guessing how it will turn out, I enjoyed reading it and seeing how her personality and sense of honour and caring nature wins out.

If you like Rock themed books you will enjoy this book, I also liked how the Author brought into the story the stresses that a band faces, Vocal cord problems, living on fresh air waiting for that big break, and the pressures of having everything laid at your feet. Read as the author unravels each of the characters layers for us.
Blair Babylon has a great talent when it comes to making her characters and places come to life and the writing is excellent. I have enjoyed each story in this set, its a reread series for sure.

Santa Baby is another HOT SEXY love story by the INCREDIBLE Ms. Babylon!! This addition to the R.S.I.D. Series was Perfect!! Peyton and Raji's story was poignant, emotional, compelling, beautiful and everything that you come to expect from a Blair Babylon book! Honestly I don't know how she does it that each BOOK gets better! The emotional journey that she takes us on with the characters is AMAZING!! I would definitely recommend this book and series to everyone!!! I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

REVIEW
I have read all of these stories and loved every single one.
The stories follow a rock band through love, hurt, trials and tribulations.
Killer Valentine and its bandmates take you on one heck of a thrilling ride.
We get Georgie and Xan, Rae and Wulf, and so much more. This author's stories keep you pinned to the pages, and then you hope for more.

A Very Sexy Rock & Roll Anthology

The Rock Stars of Xan Valentine's band are some of my favorite characters ever. They are real, flawed, lovable, sexy, and brilliant. Each story is an interwoven piece of the greater whole, but each stands as a work of art on it's own. No one writes sex, desire, and love quite like Blair. Definite 5 out of 5 reads.
The Rock Stars of Xan Valentine's band live in the world of the Billionaire's in Disguise series starting with Cash's story in Working Stiff. If you enjoyed these stories you'll love that series.

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

What's better than one of Blair's Rock Star stories?  Four of them all together in one amazing box set!

If you've read Xan's story, you will be familiar with the band.  If you haven't, then you're missing out.

These are the icing on the cake; the froth on the latte; the caramel centre of the chocolate - I'm sure you get the point.

I happily devour anything this author writes.  This set is no different.  Do I have a favourite?  Yep - Tryp.  If it's OK with you, he's mine.  ;-)

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is Rock Stars in Disguise, a boxed set written by Blair Babylon. Each book is about another member of the band Killer Valentine or someone closely related. I read each and every one of these book as they were published and now Ms Babylon has put them into this wonderful boxed set for your reading convenience. Every book is different and they are all filled with the usual elements of a Blair Babylon story. There are funny, cute, sexy feel good moments as well as mystery, intrigue and hidden plot twists. I promise you will love every one of these as much as I do! Enjoy!

So what happens to the rest of killer valentine after Georgie an xan get there hea.. This has the rest of the bands stories. All in one easy to get collection. I love the omnibus an boxed sets. Easy transition from one book to the next. As with all Blairs books weather single title or boxed set. I devour the pages. An no matter how many times i read them its still like my first time reading them. I laughed i cried. Esp at the end then realized oh wait theres more.

[Katherina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just love it when Blair bundles several books of hers in one boxed set. Makes it so much easier and convenient for me. I don't need to open a new book once the story is finished, just read on ;). The books followed the same group of people (or rock stars) but you don't have to read them in order, each book works perfectly fine on its own. While there are some sexy parts, the focus is more on the emotions than on sex.

[Yvette Grimes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read every book in this series when they were originally published. I enjoyed finding out more about each person in the band. We see what makes each person tick. Why they act the way they do. Each story is unique. This author does not write cookie cutter stories and that’s a reason why I’ve been a fan and will continue to be a fan! This box set is a must read!

[Lynall · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set is awesome. I read all these Rock star romance stories as stand-alone books, but having them in one set is magic. Don’t expect to sleep any time soon after opening the first page. The books are intense, emotional and just enthralling. I really loved theses books

[Linda Dossett · Rating 5 out of 5]

AIl excellent reads from one of my favorite authors. I must admit, Tryp and Cadell are my faves in this group, but all are interesting in their own way. Don’t miss these at a great price. Another for your TBR list. I must warn you, these books are addictive, you will find yourself purchasing more.
