VIP Access

by Morticia Knight

A singing sensation who steals hearts. The wannabe guitarist who worships him. Can true love survive once the tour is over?

Glitter Kink is one of the headlining bands at Rocktoberfest, and Braylin Sinclair can’t believe he’s scored a gig as their guitar tech. He’d rather be their guitarist, but he’ll take what he can get. Plus, how can he resist the opportunity to get up close and personal with Zen Diamond, the flashy singer he’s idolized since he was a kid?

Zen’s reputation as one of the kinkiest rockers on the scene can sometimes overshadow his musical prowess. As the founding member of Glitter Kink, he runs the show. His songs, his rules. The band’s world-wide tour is about to kick-off, however, lately there’s been more ills than thrills.

One night as they’re about to take the stage, everything falls apart. Unless a miracle occurs, the tour will be over and the band’s future in jeopardy. But then a sweet young thing steps up and claims he can save the gig.

Will Zen take a chance on a shy and inexperienced kid? Or will he only allow Braylin to be a star in his bedroom?

Note: VIP Access is the 7th book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest Series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not stay and enjoy the whole show? If you like scorching tales of hot rock stars and the men who love them, then you’ll adore the untamed musicians of Rocktoberfest!

3.5 stars Yes, I loved the concept. A shy extremely submissive young man and a patient caring Dom.

Zen Diamond is thirty-eight and the lead singer of the famous Glitter King band. Braylin is twenty-one and adored the rock star from when he was little, now he can work for the band as their guitar tech.
Their attraction is instant and Zen wants the sweet shy guy for himself.
Not all members are as kind as Zen.

It was a sugar-sweet story, I loved the Dom sub dynamic. The tension from the tour and a certain band member was a nice addition to the story.
Overall a captivatingly written, entertaining, and enjoyable.

I must admit I didn't even know about this multi author series until I saw this cover. OMG, so striking! I needed to read it pronto. The novella is set in the world of music and a bit of kink. Do not worry, the kink is mild as well as the steam, but what I enjoyed the most was the sweetest relationship between Zed Diamond the Dom and Braylin Sinclair a young and aspiring guitarist who is ready to discover whether submission is for him. I loved the kindness and care Zed showed to Bray, the patience and gentleness. Braylin was just so adorably innocent, he tugged at my heart strings. I expected a bit of harshness due to the characters possibly being mercurial moody rock stars, but that was not the case. Everyone was accepting and kind. There was a bit of angst to liven up the story. This was a feel good romance. And the band's name Glitter kink just tickled me pink. Plus I liked all the concert prep and the shows themselves from musician's perspective. Delightful lightly kinky romance! Copy received for my honest and unbiased review

Good finale to the series

VIP Access by Morticia is the seventh book in the multi-author series, The Road To Rocktoberfest. Knight pens a good story in VIP Access. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I always love reading from new authors. This story is about one of the bands, Glitter Kink. It revolves around Zen and Braylin. I like the total opposite of the star-crossed lovers, as Zen is controlling, and Braylin is shy and not very experienced. Both men have to take a chance with their heart. It's a grand story of MM romance and hot and steamy, as well. It's more than just the ups and downs and angst that surround the men, but it's about them, as individuals as well as a would-be could-be couple. This story is a great finale to the end of the multi-author series, and fits well within the series. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.

A Dom and his boy

Some like to be taken care of while others like to be in charge of providing their care. This story is just that. Two unsuspecting hearts finding love amidst the lyrics and chaos.

I really enjoyed this story and recommend it to all.

3.5

That was a nice short rocker band story. Since it was a novella it moved kind of quickly but it covered everything I needed in a story. I kind of wish it was longer so that we could’ve dove into more things and had a few more things drawn out but for a novella this was good. I do wish also that some of the big moments we would have got to witness like we didn’t get to see the first kiss or be a part of negotiations of their relationship and that kind of left me lacking. The writing was good the smexy was lacking and the characters are OK

VIP Access is the seventh book in ‘The Road to Rocktoberfest’ series. Zen Diamond, a flashy, kinky singer, and Braylin Sinclair, a guitar tech, are the two main characters. The story is told in third person from both Zen and Braylin’s povs.



This book is part of a series of books written by various authors. I’ve read a few stories by Morticia Knight and the ones I’ve read have either been Daddy/boy or Dom/sub. In this one, Zen is the Dom, but there is little BDSM in the story, it’s mostly mentioned in passing. There is however one spanking scene and that’s about as far as it goes. Most of the plot revolves around Braylin’s hero worship of Zen, and the troubles the band is having because of one of its members. This is mostly a character driven story.

The author did a good job with the main and side characters. Zen was friendly, kind, but bossy. Braylin had followed the band Glitter Kink and Zen for years. At just twenty-one, he scored a gig with the band and was just settling in when he was thrown into deep water because of the behavior of one of the band members. Braylin was insecure and an introvert, except when he was working with the tech and his music, when his genius shown through. The story is about Braylin and Zen attempting to keep band life and personal life separate. The characters’ personalities remained consistent throughout the story and that includes the side characters who were also interesting. I think because the story focused a lot on what was happening with the band and Braylin and Zen had to navigate their relationship around inside of it, I found it a little difficult to accept them as a couple. There is a large power difference between the two. Not just because of Zen’s age, I think he’s almost forty, but because of life experience and monetarily. Zen also didn’t strike me as being as conscientious of a Dom as I thought he would be. There was more than one instance I felt like he didn’t know what he was doing. But this story isn’t really about the kink so much the music business, so that’s probably why the BDSM wasn’t as expanded upon in this story as in the other books I’ve read by this author.

My one disappointment is that there is a lot of monologue in this story. A lot of internal thoughts of what Braylin or Zen see, do, think, feel. Instead of making me feel their feelings, I'm told how they feel, which kept me distant from them and was probably why I found it difficult to believe in them as a couple.

Overall VIP Access is a book about Zen and Braylin connecting during a tour with a light BDSM scene thrown in. This is a fast and easy read, good for entertainment and a HEA. I give it 4 Stars.

This is the 7th book in the Road to Roctoberfest series and I must say that I enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of the rock/musician tropes in my romances but because this was written by M. Knight and the cover model was absolutely beautiful, I decided to give it a go.

Needless to say, I am glad that I did! This story centers around the sweet, shy and innocent Braylin, a roadie/guitarist and the lead singer of a rock band called Glitter Kink, Zen Diamond and their adventures and misadventures on tour to a rock festival. The author did a lovely job of writing about the backstage goings on during a music tour. You can definitely tell that she did her research and/or had someone with that career background guiding her. That is what I really like about this author. She does her due diligence with researching whatever topic she’s writing about in her stories and it shows.

The story also had a BDSM theme throughout that was well written. I do like her kinky/BDSM themes. She managed strike the perfect balance of sexy, kinky, sweet and gentle that made this story that much more appealing.

This book was truly a joy to read. I was surprised at how much I liked this book; I actually found myself even enjoy reading about the rock and roll aspect of it! These characters are well fleshed out and relatable, even Zen. The dialogue was on point, the storyline held my interest and the book flowed well! My interest was held from start to finish and that is what I always get when I read this author’s work.

I truly recommend this book. It’s a pretty good, well written story.

What a lovely slow burn
Braylin had been a massive fan of Glitter Kink the rock band for a long time. He learn to play the guitar so he could play their songs. And now he’s got the opportunity to be there guitar tech he is so over the moon and excited just to be part of the rock band tour. He was so tongue-tied when he first met Zen the group singer and if honest Bray’s biggest crush. And if honest there was an instant attraction.

Zen wished he had more excitement for the upcoming tour but the problems he had with one member of the group was outweighing all the good. Sal was in a bad place and he was bringing the whole band down. He had taken an instant dislike to Bray and made sure that he knew it, Zen was quick to defend him. But the damage was already done Sal had put doubt that Zen wanted anything but a quick hook up.
Could there be a future Zen and Bray??? What does the future hold for the band.

This book was a real slow burn for me but I was just totally hooked in the way that Zen took the time to explain everything to Bray. It was just a really good Read. It was fantastic to see Bray come into his own and see his confidence levels grown. And to find his true feelings for Zen, together they had everything.
I can’t wait for the next book.

A band in trouble, a rockstar dom in need of a boy, and a newbie who fills both needs. Can you say Wow!?

What a stunning tale on the road to Rocktoberfest! The glittering world of rock is here in all it's glory. Talent, egos, fandom, kink, friendship, and romance. A dream chance come true. The D/s dynamic is explored. An unlikely hero arises. Braylin has idolized Zen , leader of Glitter Kink, forever. He has learned to play all their songs. Getting a job as the band's guitar tech is a dream come true. When chance has him playing guitar while the band is on tour, saving the shows, he can't believe his luck. And gaining the attention of Zen...Wow! Zen wasn't looking for a boy to love. But the adorable new guitar tech pulls all his strings. Introducing Bray to his lifestyle, Zen is shocked and thrilled at how quickly Bray fills the part. When he also fills the part of guitarist for the band, Zen and the other members of Glitter Kink couldn't be happier. Yes, there is spanking. There is passion. But for the big sexual event, you will have to wait. Believe me, it's worth it! You will love this book!
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.

[Juniper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zen is a rockstar, the frontman for the band Glitter Kink. In Zen's case, the name is apt, and he thinks he's found the boy he wants in twenty-one year old guitar tech Braylin. Their relationship is D/s from the start, and it unfolds with relatively little angst despite the drama of a spiteful band member and Braylin's own complete inexperience with relationships, let alone kink. I didn't love the vast inequalities between Zen and Braylin: it wasn't just the age gap, although it's significant, but the added fact that Zen is his boss and Braylin had a huge case of hero worship before even meeting Zen. While it's clear what Zen gets out of their relationship, I wasn't wild about the way it sometimes seemed like he was more excited about the sub Braylin would be in the future, rather than the person he was at the moment. On the other hand, Zen makes a big deal about waiting to consummate the sexual side of the relationship, and does seem to care about Braylin's informed consent, so maybe that's enough.

[Amy Dufera - Amy's MM Romance Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

VIP Access is Morticia Knight's contribution to the multi-author series The Road To Rocktoberfest. With this being my first time reading this author, I wasn't sure what to expect.

Braylin's new on the tour, ending up as part of the band. And with his attraction to Zen, and Zen's desire to take the younger man under his wing, they end up in a BDSM relationship.

There's plenty of heat, including some spanking.

There's a disgruntled bandmate who can't get his act together. With dealing with the band dynamics, being the new kid in the band, and being in a relationship with a band member, it's definitely a little messy.

Zen is a total sweetheart who will have you falling in love with him. He's kind, he's patient, and he's caring. He's the perfect one to be a Dom for Braylin.

This isn't super developed, as it's a quick read. I definitely would have preferred more depth, but it's still a good read.

VIP Access is a good ending to the multiauthor The Road To Rocktoberfest series. The whole series is wonderful. If you haven't yet started the series, be sure to start with Strung Tight to get in on all the fun.

This was so, so sweet! It kind of surprised me to be completely honest (in a good way, mind you), because I know the levels this author can take kink and intensity. She tempered down a bit on those, amped up the sweetness and the results were swoon worthy.

Braylin was adorable and innocent, cute and inexperienced, and Zen defied everything I'd expected from a rock star. As the same time as Braylin I got to see the amazing man behind the public persona and the caring, patient Dom. Zen gave Braylin the time to learn about his preferences, while taking care and doting on him. There wasn't a blazing fire between them, but a slow knowing each other with talks, cuddles time, the occasional spanking lol and kisses.

Like I already said, VIP Access is a very sweet age gap romance, with a slight kinky hotness. Maybe I would have liked more time with Braylin and Zen as a couple, but I really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and I appreciated the back scenes of a rock band's life.

[Sarita Chapdelaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an interesting addition to The Road to Rocktoberfest multi-author series with great characters and an intriguing storyline. VIP Access is an entertaining story but I wish that there was more focus on the actual Rocktoberfest event even though I did enjoy the perspective of seeing everything that goes on in the background of the multiple concerts that Glitter Kink put on in the months before the main event. Zen and Braylin are complete opposites, there is a substantial age gap between them and Braylin has zero sexual experience while Zen is an experienced Dom. They are so different that I had a difficult time seeing them as a couple but they do have some very sweet moments together as well as one hot scene and I like that Zen is so very careful with Braylin as he introduces him slowly to being a boy. I like all of Zen's bandmates with one notable exception as well as the other secondary characters and the ending is good.

Sometimes you end up in a better job than the one for which you interviewed! Zen, was lead singer and unofficial leader of King ~. Braylin was hired as the new guitar technician. He recently turned 21 and was still a virgin. He was naturally shy and totally in awe of the band, Glitter Kink but Zen especially. Bray, was on the cusp of a new life and was ready for new beginnings. Braylin was meticulous and skilled, so he earned the respect of the band. Sal, was the only hold out. He was an alcoholic and becoming more and more unreliable. Zen, was supportive of Bray's success. He was immensely attracted to him, but was cautious of starting a relationship while on tour. Plus, he was a Dom and not everyone was into that. Is Bray interested in Zen beyond rock star worship? Can Bray get into the BDSM lifestyle? Can Zen be patient? Is the band steady? Nice story. Great characters. This was my first story in teh series. I will go read the others. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When Braylin lands a great job with his favorite band, he never expected it to be a life changer. Soon Braylin is not only helping behind the scenes, but he has not only gained the attention of Zen but also may be the man who can save the day.

I enjoyed Braylin and Zen’s story. Braylin is living out the dream that many of us have had in our younger days. It was nice to see Braylin start off so nervous but soon begin to fit right into the job and friendships. Zen is a good man and Dom. I liked the way he approaches the relationship with Braylin, and it was nice to watch that relationship develop. The two are good together and their emotions show in all that they do. Not only do we get to watch their relationship grow readers also get a strong plot with this book. The author does a good job of bringing life to these characters and their world. The story moves at a good pace. I was pulled into their story right from the start and it did not let go until the end.

[Stephanie W · Rating 4 out of 5]

Before I get to the book, let me say that this cover is gorgeous and the perfect choice for this story.

Braylin Sinclair has the opportunity of a lifetime, headlining for Glitter Kink, and swooning over his longtime crush from childhood.

Zen Diamond is the lead singer of GK with a personal reputation to match. Unfortunately, his kink precedes his actual singing abilities.

One thing leads to another and the band is in trouble. The situation looks dire until someone steps up and saves the day.

Just when it looks like Braylin is in over his head with Zen, all the pieces fall into place. After all, can a virgin with no real kink experience (or anything else) ever become the central love interest with a man widely known for his?

Trusting your heart and body to someone is never easy. Can they make he cut and come together as one? Making music together in more ways than one.

Wonderful rockstar romance! Braylin went from superfan to being a part of the crew for his favorite rock band, and it only got crazier and more amazing from there. He was so excited and starry-eyed, absolutely adorable! I also loved the interactions between Braylin and the rest of the band & crew. It’s always so much better if the MC’s have well-written secondary characters to help carry the story. Braylin and Zen clicked beautifully, and even though there’s some kink involved, the heat level stays comfortably warm rather than scorching, in keeping with Braylin’s more limited experience in both romantic and kinky matters. I liked how careful Zen was with him, how genuinely considerate of his feelings. The focus is on the emotional connection they share and the challenges Glitter Kink faces, and how that impacts Zen and Braylin’s budding relationship. Very enjoyable read.

Discord in Glitterkink

Braylin Sinclair couldn't believe he'd got the job as guitar tech for his favourite band, the only thing that could've bettered that was to be their guitarist instead. He just hoped he wouldn't embarrass himself fanboying over them! Braylin had taught himself guitar playing their songs since he was twelve and he had a jumbo sized crush on Zen Diamond the lead singer.
From the moment Zen saw Braylin at their first rehearsal before the tour started he knew he was just his type, he just didn't know if the boy was into all the things he was....he wants more than a fling. He want Braylin to be his boy permanently! But he won't rush him into anything.
This book has got a bit of everything, hot rock stars, a Dom, an innocent Boy, Kink, Heat and Passion and lots of love and some humour. I loved it!!

[Amber · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved VIP Access by Morticia Knight. There was lots of chemistry between Braylin and Zen. I loved that Braylin is a virgin and a natural sub and he aligns perfectly with the type of Dom Zen is. He's a protector and sensualist, so light bondage and spanking are his jam. I loved that Zen has so much more experience with the lifestyle and that he is willing to ease Braylin into it, so he doesn't feel pressured or overwhelmed. As an experienced Dom, he knows that communication is key to making a relationship work. If you like your stories about rockstars with a Dom/sub theme and a cute blushing virgin, then you should give this book a try.

Dom/boy, BDSM, and Rock-n-Roll

Morticia Knight is one of my favorite authors and this book is just one of the reasons why. I loved this story about rock king, Zen Diamond, and newbie stage crewman, Braylin. The attraction between the two was super hot, but the way that Zen took time to develop the relationship before jumping into sex was really nice. The backdrop of the band tour and the additional characters were perfectly developed and gave an air of realism to the overall story. I don't know if the author plans to revisit this world in the future, but I'd love to see more of Zen and Braylin, and the rest of the band, as the start their overseas tour. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it!

I loved how many different rockstars we got to meet in this series, but I was not prepared for Zen in the least! His creation in this story is absolutely magical! Mature, self - aware and self - caring individual with persona and bravado. Such a great character! His chemistry and relationship with Braylin were amazingly approached by the author! Not a one and done, but an intimate exploration of a riveting dynamic, just what I want to see!
Morticia Knight is a master of beautiful kink presentation, but this one is a masterpiece! The rock world is a great setting, but it totally plays a background to what those guys bring to the table. Magic! Pure magic!

Zen ❤️ Bray

When Bray became a tech guy he never expected to be more than that let alone land the man of his dreams but when the band loses their guitarist, his dreams come true in more ways than one! Zen is trying to hold his band together when his angel comes along and saves the day! Bray & Zen fell for each other hard and fast but zen was afraid to put his heart out there! In the end it was worth it & they got their happy ending! This was the last book of the series and it was such a wonderful series, I hate to see it ending but I hope to read more from each & every author! 😀

Loved this sweet story which turned out to not be what I thought it was going to be. For whatever reason I was expecting something a little more hard core but thankfully, for me at least, that wasn't the case. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

QUICK THOUGHTS

-- Quick easy read -- Rock Star/Shy nerd pairing -- age difference (17 years) -- opposites attract -- a nice slow burn -- instant attraction -- first time -- very mild D/s kink -- very sweet -- made me smile -- loved the MCs... Braylin & Zen -- wish it was longer -- part of a multi-author series -- can be read as a stand-alone

[Terri · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a terrific rockstar romance. Zen's dominance and star quality was sexy, and his patience made him irresistible. Braylin was inexperienced and eager to please, and his adoration of Zen was sweet. These two were beautiful together, and I really enjoyed their story. I would have loved another chapter or two focused on how the couple included BDSM in their physical relationship in its earliest days, but I was very happy with the view of that dynamic in the final chapter. The feelings between Zen and Braylin were intense, and I loved their story.

I am loving this series. This collaboration between authors has been great, In this installment Glitter Kink, lead by Zen Diamond, has been playing for years and their time is finally coming. They are on the road to Rocktoberfest. Braylin, (an innocent star waiting to be born) is the new guitar tech. He has also caught the eye of Zen. There is trouble in the band and it comes to a head. The sex was ok but watching the relationship develop between Zen and Braylin is worth reading the book.

[Ida Umphers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Talk about the understudy's dream coming true. Braylin is in exactly the right place at the right time to save the day for the band Glitter Kink. He's also in the perfect place to catch the eye and then the heart of the band's leader Zen. Zen has a wonderful character arc here. He initially comes across as the hard nosed, ice cold rockstar but Braylin is so sweet he gets right under those defenses. The angst and the kink are light here but the story is a wonderful addition to the Rocktoberfest series. And can we talk about that cover!

This was fantastic!! Braylin has been hired to be Glitter Kink’s guitar tech, his favorite band. He’s start struck when he meets Zen, Glitter Kink’s vocalist. When the bands usual guitarist cannot go on stage, Braylin steps in. Zen is enraptured by the young man and wants to help him. He introduces Braylin into his world of D/s. This was fantastic, loved everything about the story!! I received an advanced copy; this is my honest and voluntary review.

Zen and Braylin make a wonderful couple for the great final book in this multi-author series. Zen is the lead singer of Glitter Kink and Braylin is not only a longtime fan but also part of the crew.
