Guitar Face #4
River of Deceit
Kip Paxton may be the perfect man. He's a sexy, tattooed, foul-mouthed, drummer god for Broken Access, and if that wasn't enough he’s snagged the Guitar Goddess herself.
But in life, where one door opens…another closes, and sometimes the other door bursts wide f@$king open.
Finding out he’s been lied to his entire life—and that all his noble deeds were done in vain—sends him spiraling out-of-control. The secrets suck the life right out of him.
This time Henley and Kip’s entire crew will have to find a way to put him back together again before they lose him forever.
This book is not a stand-alone novel. Books 1-3 in the Guitar Face Series should be read first. If you are looking for a story of redemption with comic relief and a heavy sexual tone, you've found it. If you are offended by hot, tattooed rock stars, who are vulgar then this is not the book for you. Please be warned, this book is not for anyone below the age of 18. The book has sex, death, violence, and harsh language.
SERIES REVIEWS:
On Broken (Guitar Face, Book 1)“Sasha Marshall created a true-to-life rock-n-roll world that makes you want to quit your job and go on tour with the gang! The friendships are so real, the characters are well-developed, and the music is more than a passing reference…Marshall's characters are complex, flawed, and interesting—and that leads to trouble. The book ends and leaves you aching for more. Happy to see this is only the start for this addictive series! 5 Very Emotional Electrified Guitars” —Backstage Book Blog
On Walking Back to Georgia (Guitar Face, Book 2)— “I'm headed to Amazon to one-click on Walking Back to Georgia [Book 3] to feed my addiction.” —Rosa Sharon, Netgalley review

About the author
Sasha Marshall
20 books583 followersSasha Marshall is a romance author with an inexplicable attraction to fictional men who probably wouldn’t return her texts in real life. Before channeling her attention deficit disorder into crafting happily-ever-afters, she spent her days as a professional herder of teenagers—think cats, but with more attitude and fewer survival instincts. Prior to that therapeutic experience, she documented the slow descent into madness that comes with touring alongside The Allman Brothers Band, wielding her camera like a weapon against sleep deprivation and questionable tour bus hours.
These days, when she’s not forcing her characters into compromising positions (literally—it’s called “romantic tension”), you can find her being emotionally manipulated by her two dogs, pretending her loved ones don’t secretly judge her book covers, engaging in crafts that look nothing like the Pinterest inspiration, or orchestrating literary chaos through Hot & Steamy Events—because apparently organizing book signings is what passes for a social life in the romance world.
She writes about bad boys with tattoos because, let’s face it, someone has to give these fictional delinquents the character development they desperately need.

Sasha does it again - Amazing how an author can continually raise the bar on the best series out there. I have to admit I wasn't ok where book 3 went - but I got over my hissy fit and dove head first into book 4 - Thank you for making Kip human - Thank you for the badass rock & roll ending and when the hell is 5 coming out?
If you haven't read The Guitar Face Series, do yourself a very big favor - get all 4 and binge your heart out.

Will update to add review soon - already running late for today's activities, but couldn't not finish this one. Once again Ms. Marshall has taken us on one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride, and I am absolutely addicted. I can't wait to read 5 and am sure I will be begging for 6 and beyond in no time! I simply can't get enough of this series.

Oh Sasha Marshall, I am loving this series the more I read. And the end, Oh My God, the end!!!! I want more, so much more. These bad ass rockers make you laugh, make you cry and wish you were their best friend. Bring on the next book. It can't come soon enough. Henley Hendrix is one woman to love. So looking forward to the continuation of all these characters. I cannot wait!!

Love this series!
Guitar Face is one of my all time favorite rocker books! I love that there is a female lead in this series! Henley Hendrix is one bad ass rocker chick! She's made mistakes, owned them, learned from them and grew from them.
I was so happy that Hen and Kip were together...finally! Long time coming. I'm reading the book and thought that this was a solid couple. They love each other, with a strong foundation and relationship. what could go wrong? Well..a lot actually. Everyone around Hen is falling apart.
What happens when the people who claim to love you and have your back, don't even realize your missing in a club after 2 hours? Don't even wonder where you are? Even when they realize something is wrong, they do nothing about it. That's the beginning of the end.
Kips childhood was fu**ed! No doubt about it. He was handed a raw deal. With an Abusive father and an alcoholic mother he's pretty messed up. He's a jokester and a prankster. I love him! Some of the things he says and the situations he gets into is truly hilarious!
Let me say that some of the funniest scenes I have ever read were in this book! The Sandy/pregnancy/nipple pumping scenes were the most comical I have ever read! I was glad I was alone. I was laughing so hard!
Where did all go wrong? Kip should of never left to clear his head like he did. It was a pu**y thing to do! When the going gets tough, he runs away! Well that's just asinine and immature.
After what happened while he was away, I can't see a happy ending for the couple. How can one forgive such horrible transgression! What a d**k! Beat his a** Henley! Move on and upward! If someone truly loves you, they don't cheat, no matter how drunk they are! That's just the excuse they use!
I can't wait for the next book! Read all of the books in this series! They wont disappoint!

Holy hell, I didn't see any of this coming. This book is more about Kip. Kip has gown through a lot growing up and if it wasn't for Henley and her family, Kip probably wouldn't be were he is. Kips is out of town with both bands, when he gets a call that his dad has died of a heart attack. Keep leaves with out saying a word to anyone. He leaves to go be with his mother. Henley gets a call and she is told what happens. Everyone jumps on a plane and heads to Kip. They wont leave him alone, but they will show him they are there for him for what ever he needs. They show him the support he needs,but give him space and Kip is really greatfull for that. Grace Henleys mom is there for and has the sweetest talk with him. Things start to get a little crazy when Pam Kips mother decides she wants to put on the head stone loving husband and father. Kip doesn't agree and tells her no, its not going to happen. That wont be put on there. they argue about it. it gets very heated. in the end Pam doesn't put it on the headstone or on anything. they barely talk and at the funeral all hell breaks loose and shit hits the fan. I wont tell the what happens next you must read it to find out. All I can say I didn't expect any of it.

OMG KIP...what are you thinking??? Kip and Henley are in love and i'm loving them together. Kip's crazy mother does the unthinkable and while Henley survives it, it puts a burden on her and Kip that is hard to get over. Kip has to leave and deal with his pain alone...but how long is too long?
Henley is strong but can she survive without him and his love? Did he betray her, too? What a
messed up bunch! Henley's life is loaded with unreal craziness & drama but I'm sucked right into the rabbit hole. My Lord, do I adore Kip! Even when he's ticking me right the hell off!
Great characters that make the books amazing.
*there's some spots of what I consider "filler". Such as where you have two versions of the same instance told from two different viewpoints, but much too similar to need them both. Also some magazine interview excerpts that are used for giving backstory (which is kind of genius in this genre...but a bit of re-hash also) that the story could have gone without.

Publication Date: 10/16/2015

My Rating: 5 Stars
REVIEW
This book just blew my mind. Henley just cannot catch a break in love or life. The one person she thought would never hurt her does and on top of that, his mother is trying to kill her.
Both bands are falling apart and they all look to Henley to pull them back from the brink the issue is she has had enough.
What will they all do now? Who will fall next? Everything and Anything goes in Rock n Roll.
Fantastic book in this series and I am happily reading the next one. There are some grammar issues but again it does not take from the story, which is strong.
I was gifted this book for my honest review.

I absolutely LOVE rocker romances and the Guitar Face is the best and most original series I have ever read.
Kip Paxton, just that name brings a huge-ass smile to the faces of fans of the series. In past books readers fell in love with Henley's Euro-porn loving partner in crime. Kip is still up to his crazy antics and he is definitely keeping the bedroom (and tour bus) hot and steamy but Kip's world get real, really quick and the fun-loving, sexy drummer goes through dark times. Secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, hot-assed mannequins are stolen, jungle peepers are exposed, Joe gets malaria (HA!), new characters are introduced, Henley takes the lead (I love a strong female character), and as always lots and lots of tattooed, man-candy! (Needless to say, I have a HUGE sweet tooth) :-)

Oh my freaking gosh 5 STARS!!
This book is the best so far in the "Guitar Face" Series by far. This book surpasses the other three. It will make make you cry, laugh hysterically, and then just piss you off. My emotions are everywhere with this book. I am still for team Kipley, but damming it is really frustrating to read about. My emotions right now after finishing this book is very heartbreaking for Henley. I am telling you Sasha Marshall can tell a story. I hope there is light at the end of this emotional rollercoaster ride. I am telling you as readers you are going to love this book. When reading this book it felt like I was standing right next to Henley while it was going on and feeling every one of her emotions. That's how well Sasha has written this book. I am going to THANK her again for an awesome read. HUGE FREAKING FAN. Thank you!! Jamie Nibarger Ellis

Wow, where to start! This book has it all....craziness, humour, love, and shocking revelations. For Kip and Henley, some of the revelations prove deadly. Kip has finally revealed his love for Henley for the last 2 decades. He also finds out that the man who raised and abused him isn't his father at all. He was the result of a love affair. When he dies our Kip isn't broken up about it and gets very angry with his mother for keeping this secret from him.
That is just the start of Kip's troubles. READ this series. If you like Rockstar stories, this series is for you!

No no no, please tell me that Kip didn't do what he did! Ugh! I'm so broken-hearted right now and didn't see anything in this book coming. Super emotional and so much drama and I loved it! Henley is one bad ass bitch but how much can this poor girl take? This book has a bit of every thing in it - hard partying, hot as hell rockers, heartbreak, death, super sexy scenes and a major cliff hanger. Best book of the series by far.

This book absolutely crushed my soul. I couldn't ever imagine having to go through so much pain and sorrow and to still be able to hold my head up high. (That's a long sentence I know) I spent most of this book in awe of Team Kipley. Then it all went to shit!!! It broke my heart and but it in a blender!!! I cannot wait for the next book. I have do many theories running through my head and I need closure dammit!!!

No words
I mean I have words but GAH!!! The ending just gutted me. I'm so team Henley and can't wait to see what happens next.
I love the humor in the story. Sandy - I died laughing. If your in this story this far along, then you have to be as invested as I am. If you are reading this review and haven't read them from the beginning go back and do it!
This author is fantastic and I love the world she has created and dragged me into.

Great series.
I just binged read Book 4 in The Guitar Face Series. I am saving Book 5 because I don't want it to end. I am not a fan of pop music. Give me the Guitar Goddess and Blues and Rock and Roll.
This is not a Rock and Roll Romance. This story is gritty and real and painful to read sometimes. I recommend this series to all who love music and the rock gods and goddesses who give it to us!

I can not express how much I absolutely love this freaking series. As per the other books, it was an emotional roller coaster full of both sadness & laughter. I did not want this book to end, can not wait for the next one. Kip you broke me in this book, not sure how much more Henley is meant to take, she continues to be let down by the people who are meant to love her the most. Loving Cory

I've followed the Guitar Face series for four books, and Sasha Marshall just keeps adding layer after layer to her characters until I wish her series was like a Netflix show and I could read them all at once!
Rock on! Henley, Kip, and Jag!
