SOUTHSIDE HIGH My best friend and I want the same girl. But Lace Lowell is mine. She was mine first. She’ll be mine forever. Sure, she was his friend when they were kids, long before I ever met her. But that’s in the past. This is now. I’m Warren Jinkins. War. My name is my battle cry. I take what I want. I don’t ask, and I want her. I’m in love with two men. Bryan Jackson is the guitarist in our band, and War is the lead singer. They’re sexy bad boys, the most dangerous guys in our school. All the girls at Southside High want them. But loving two guys is a problem—especially when those two guys also love each other.
IRRESISTIBLE REFRAIN
Two years ago, everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest. Two years is a long time. Too long to keep on remembering. Not nearly long enough to forget. In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress, Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good-looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.
ENTICING INTERLUDE
To the talented vocalist Justin Jones, love is merely a game that he plays by his own rules. But to Bridget Dubois, love and heartache are one and the same. Broken too many times before, the delicate beauty keeps her emotions carefully concealed. Bridget has her own set of rigid rules when it comes to men. She prefers to avoid them altogether, especially dangerously seductive auburn haired emerald eyed players like Justin.
CAPTIVATING BRIDGE
Warren "War" Jinkins is that guy. The bad one. Tempest's ex front man, an arrogant rock god. The only thing larger than his ego is his capacity for self-destruction. His bad attitude has cost him. His woman. His best friend. His band. Everything. Shaina Bentley is that girl. The good one. Hollywood's pink candy-coated sweetheart.
The star of Pinky Swear, television's top rated teen show. He's a one-man island. She's a fragile captive soul. Is love a current too dangerous to cross or will it be the bridge that brings them together?
RELENTLESS RHYTHM
The one she really wants is out of reach. The one he really needs is already taken. Dizzy Lowell, rhythm man for the rising rock band Tempest is a wizard on the guitar and a wonder with women. But the hookup specialist hides his emotional scars beneath his suave exterior. He never lets anyone truly touch him until he meets April Reynolds, the confident bartender of the Diamond Mine. TEMPTING TEMPO
Sager Reed the strong and silent bassist for the rock band Tempest is well acquainted with loss. The thoughtful tattoos he designs only hint at his turbulent youth. He buries his guilt about it deeply within his troubled heart. Melinda T. Belle is the daughter of a dysfunctional rock legend. Avoiding emotional entanglement, she has turned her back on nearly everyone and everything she has ever known. Alone, she tries desperately to find fulfillment in the one dream she has left, competitive skiing. Can Sager overcome his dark past? Will Melinda realize her worth? Will they both see that love is only thing that really matters?
SCANDALOUS BEAT
A rock star. A stripper. Can a hookup lead to a happily ever after?

This series is very well done, I enjoyed the books more and more as I read my way through it. The character development is amazing, and the way the author treated some darker themes connected to them was really good, too. The rockstars sometimes have darker aspects to their personalities, mostly due to their pasts. Their leading ladies are flawed, too, but still strong in their own way. I loved all the different relationships, and most of all the friendships between the guys, and later on the friendships their significant others formed as well. A definite winner!

A fabulous series about a group of rockers and the women who all face real struggles. Lots of heat, and the opportunity to learn more about issues that we all could face. I have yet to read a book or series by this author that I didn't love.
AHHHH I love this so much. All my hot men in one box set to make my life easier. Tempest from high school all the way to rocker life is what everyone needs in their life. High drama, lots of sexy times and angst that Mankin is known for.
Are you a rock romance fan? If you are you HAVE to grab this box set because no one writes rock romance like Michelle Mankin. Each and every book in this set was 5*. Hard rockers and the women in their lives…can’t get any better.
The entire Tempest world in one amazing box set will have you quickly flipping through the pages to learn about each guy and the girl that owns their heart. Mankin is an incredible author and knows exactly how to rock my world with her beautiful words. 5 Stars!!
I loved this box set! This is the complete Tempest Rock Star series! These are each full length told in dual POV. In the prequel they are high school students growing up in a bad neighborhood with little to no family support just looking for a way out of Southside. The band is each other’s family where each member has their own struggles. There is plenty of drama & angst! Each band member has their own book. Their stories are not insta-love, but real relationships. Lots of background given to the characters, not all of it easy to read. Their roads to HEA are not easy, they are long and took time but draw you in and capture your heart. I love how the writing just draws you into the story and it is so hard to put down once you start reading.
If you are looking for a series that not only has beautifully written characters and storylines that hook you in from the first few pages than look no further!! Michelle Mankin has such way of portraying the true rock star mentality. Taking the bad with the good and the not always pretty. Following the band through each members highs and lows in epic proportions. This entire set is a must read that you will become your go to.
This 7 books series is amazing. It starts with War, Bryan and Lacey. In Southside High we meet the band and Lacey. It is the beginning of Tempest. You have the love triangle between War, Bryan and Lacey. Two best friends in love with the same woman. We saw how things begin. Irresitable Refrain picks ups two years later. Lacey seeks refuge with the band after a bad relationship. What will happen this time around since Bryan broke heart and War just broke her. I love this story and growth of the characters. Bryan and Lacey grow together from friendship to lovers. In Entincing interlude we get Justin and Bridget's story. Bridget is Lace's room mate. It such a sweet story and you find out more of Justin's background. In Capitivating Bridge we get War and Shania's story. Stone cold War melts away when he meets Shania. They are two broken hearts that come together to complete each other. In Relentless Rhythm we get Lace's brother Dizzy's story. We know he is a player but when he meets April that all changes. She is into him to but has some secrets that keep her from him. Their story is another amazing story of Michelle's. Tempting Tempo is Sager and Melinda's story. Sager past keeps him for finding love as he feels he is not worthy of it. Melinda only feels alive when she is with Sager. This is a sweet sexy story about finding love and allowing it into your life. And finally we have King's story. His and Miriam's story is hot as hell and so very sweet. King is her brother's best friend. She has been in love with him since she met him. Now is their time. This whole series is full of everything you could want in a rock love story. Drama, secrets, sex, mystery and finally love. Michelle's work is always amazing from beginning to end. This series is no different.
The Tempest series follows the Tempest boys from Southside and the women that capture their hearts. These novels are ALL beautifully rendered and evenly paced. They realistically cover the gritty side of life in a rock band and I so admire MMankin for not shying away from conveying both the good and bad that comes along with that life. The characters are well developed - I got to know each of them in all their glory. Some are a little broken, all are flawed. But they each are resilient and redeemable and they all worked their way into my heart. And then there's the music. MMankin knows her music. The lyrics are always incredible and her portrayal of the band on stage is genuine. All combined, this is a series not to be missed!
This seven book box set features the complete Tempest series from start to finish. You get SOUTHSIDE HIGH, Irresistible Refrain, Enticing Interlude, Captivating Bridge, Relentless Rhythm, Tempting Tempo and Scandalous Beat.
This is a collection that all who loved bad boys and rock stars will enjoy. You will watch them grow and find love on the way as you live in their dream world existence. Sit back and enjoy the ride as you watch them come to life.
Michelle takes you on a wonderful journey inside the Tempest rock group starting from the very beginning. Michelle has worked her voodoo magic on these characters... you will fall in love with them, hate them, love to hate them and fall in love with them all over again. You won't want to put these books down and Michelle will leave you wanting more! An absolutely must read, and if you've already read it, you need to read it again!!!
The Complete Tempest World Box Set: 7 Rockstar Romance Books was a great set by Michelle Mankin. This box set consists of; Southside High, Irresistible Refrain, Enticing Interlude, Captivating Bridge, Relentless Rhythm, Tempting Temp, and Scandalous Beat. These are 7 full length books that follow the band Tempest. The members just wanted to become rock stars and never expected to find love. I really enjoyed reading these books and can't wait to read more by Michelle Mankin.
One of my favorite rock star series! I was excited when I heard Michelle Mankin was releasing a box set for Tempest World since I only read a couple of the books prior to its release. And this box set is so worth the read! Each story is unique in its own way as each Tempest band member and their life as a rocker is explored. Great characters, so many emotions, and lots of chemistry. Dive into these stories and get wrapped up in a band you wish was real!
Michelle Mankin has compiled a seven book series that is a must read for all rock star fans. The books take you from the beginnings of the characters' relationship and band formation to becoming rock star gods. The journey for each band member is unique filled with angst, passion, risks, hidden emotions, lust, hurt, love and much more. This series is beautifully written and a fabulous read.
Mankin creates stories that hit all my emotions and create a roller coaster of a ride. I couldn’t put this down. I had to know how each story ended then I couldn’t stop there I had to start the next one. After completing the last one in the box set I feel emotionally drained but emotionally fulfilled at the same time. I felt every emotion I can think of with each book. The author writes about real situations and real emotions for real characters that we can all relate to at some level. I will keep reading her books and enjoying each one. I recommend these books to all my friends.
If you like stories about rock stars and the women who love them, like I am, then you will certainly love the Tempest series by Michelle Mankin. This series has everything you love about the trope, including a brooding lead singer who is his own worst enemy, an epic love triangle, and angst. So much angst. It takes very special women to tame these bad boys and you'll be rooting them on to do just that and for everyone to get their happy ending. Whatever your preferred type is - be it the troubled lead singer, his calmer best friend and bandmate or a sexy drummer - you will find it in this volume of books. So if you like rockers, I highly recommend this series.
This set of books from start to finish was worth every minute I sat down reading it.
We get to meet and love all the band members and their ladies - from the beginning in High School, until they are famous rocking Head Liners on their own tour. With some bumps along the way - they have grown and matured, and asked and received forgiveness - and helped each other in some tough spots.
I'd like to see a book, years down the road - when they're all much older, and see how life's been treating them, and how they dealt with the their families, children and fame.
I loved every one of these guys and I recommend this box set. I’m not going to review each separately here but I have to say is Michelle Mankin is one of my favorite writers for a reason. Her characters are each special, broken, strong and drop dead gorgeous. These rockers have been through hell during their life but they become a family and the women are fierce warriors. I recommend this box set highly.
Gritty, raw and hard to put down portrayals of life in a rock band. Personality clashes, divided loyalties and a glorious reunion keep you reading along. The individual guys are shown from their early days in Southside right up to their tour headliner days. Each guy finds love but of course the road isn’t easy. My favourites are Sager and King and of course their ladies. The endings had me crying and I loved the snippets of songs included.
Getting to know the TEMPEST crew was beyond anything I could have imagined....all the band and all their mates all the trials and triumphs were a journey that I will treasure. There gas never been a more inspirational sexy set of characters let me tell u this....The TEMPEST BOX SET is a collectors item immediately I know I'm going to be reading this over again many times. Ms Mankin as always gets it absolutely right
This series was phenomenal from the first book you the last. Each couple suffered some form of tragedy, some life changing occurence and becoming stronger through love.
Thank you Miss Mankin for the stories you tell. The inspiration and devotion of your characters touched my heart in a very personal way.
What a box set, lovable (some of them take a while to get there) characters. Written from multiple view points stories that take you on an tempestuous emotional rollercoaster of a ride, happy, sad, frustrating and funny in parts. Grab your tissues and make time to enjoy it, you can’t stop at one and need to read all 7 and still want more.
What a fantastic box set about all the trials and tribulations of a set of rockstar who had to fight through abuse domestic violence and anorexia to name just a few of the traumas that each couple had to go through to reach the love and happiness that they all deserved.I would recommend this box set absolutely loved it.
Beautifully written interconnecting stories of love overcoming underlying symptoms of abuse. Really tugged at my heartstrings and kept me reading long into tge night. As ever Michelle you played my emotions...but thank you ❤❤
This was a great series. Well written, with a variety of real life issues that are covered in each book. Each situation deals with how these issues cause problems in their relationship and how they deal with these situations to get to their HEA.
