His fingers bled. Her body healed. It was more than a scalped concert ticket. It was a life change.
Diana Shaw is every parent’s dream. She’s a straight A student, loved by great friends, keeps her nose clean with boys, and sings in the church choir with her mother, while her father watches proudly from the pew. Diana is sunshine and happiness to most, until her life is torn apart over an eighteen month stretch of nightmarish treatment, which she tells nobody about. Until someone makes a gruesome discovery after a concert one night. Can she go against everything she believes in and lie, or does she tell a total stranger the truth and risk everything?
Danny Spellman is the lead guitarist for the popular and long-running band ‘Risk It’. Female fans adore him, male fans want to be him, and his bonds with his band members are strong and fruitful. In the business ten years and running strong, on the last night of the band’s world tour, Danny meets a little wallflower that notices something about him that nobody else has. Intrigued, Danny pushes her, testing her limits, until he learns something about her that both terrifies and infuriates him all at the same time.
With a sudden shift of the testosterone level in his house, Danny finds himself comforting Diana, befriending her, and learning things about the female species that he would never have guessed. And just when Danny thinks that Diana’s innate strength is something gleaned through heartache, she invites him to church, to hear her sing. Feeling like he’s discovered the next big thing, Danny is feverishly on the phone with his producer and recording company. Little does he know that he’s stirring the pot with someone he least expects to be watching. And the gunshot is the telling tale.
Loaded with tons of emotion and inspiration, this rock star romance will leave readers looking at the music industry and the artists in a whole different light. Like in real life, things are not always as they seem in a rock star’s life. We sometimes forget that these people are human. This book reminds us of that. An unforgettable standalone romance, this story contains sensitive adult subject matter, violence, substance abuse, sexual situations, course language and all the trappings of a rock star romance, so please be forewarned.
Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.
Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandra's goal is to have the reader rooting for the main couple...and she doesn't disappoint.
You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. She's gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesn't do coffee or chocolate.
Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. She's also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.
Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.
The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels. In case you haven't guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.
The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.
The Rock Star Romance series is inspired by the death of Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020. It is a standalone series unlike any other this author has written. Look for this series! It's available now!

Diana is all parents dream child; she gets good grades, has good friends and sings in a church choir. It seems like the perfect life until something happens and every thing is turned upside down. Danny is the lead guitarist for the rock band At Risk. They meet at the last concert on their world tour. She and Danny become friends. Will he be able to help her through this? This book had a lot of twists and turns and made it a page turner.
Book 4 in the Rock Star Romance series was just as enjoyable as the books before it.
Danny was such an amazing lead character. Even though he par took and lived the rock star life, his character come through was a really nice guy and made me like him all the more. Learning about his mum and what he was doing behind the scenes was great.
Diane you just wanted to give her a hug. The poor darling and you couldn't help but fall in love with her and thank Danny for taking her under his wing from early on. It was great to see her grow throughout this story and to see her flourish on the music side of things further into the book was amazing.
All the secondary characters in this story were awesome and it is a shame that we don't follow them as they would be fun to find out more about them.
Overall, another enjoyable, easy to fall in love with story and characters. Sandra Alex keeps solidifying herself as the go to author for this type of story.

This is book four in A Rock Star Romance Series and it is Diana and Danny's story and omg it is a must read. This book took you in right from the start and kept you turning the pages right until the end to find out what would happen next. The characters and storyline pulled you in and that is what makes it a real page turner and so addictive that I couldn't put it down as it kept you on the edge of your seat. I have read many books by Sandra Alex who is an amazing author and writer and I have enjoyed every single one but I have to say that this book is my all time favourite read. I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will not be disappointed.

World Tour by Sandra Alex is the 4th book in a disconnected, stand-alone Rockstar book series about different bands. The book needed more descriptors to make the story come together cohesively. Instead of a spectacular read, it just fell flat. One flashback of the abuse Diana experienced would have given the story more credibility. The love scenes were adequate, but not imaginative with a low heat factor. The intrigue of Danny having a stalker wasn’t fully developed. The motives behind the stalking were never revealed. I was left wondering why this stalker wanted to hurt Danny. World Tour had the potential of being a truly awesome read, but there were too many holes riddling the story to overlook. I hope Sandra Alex’s other 4 books of her Rockstar series are easier to read.
I loved it! The book blurb gives a real feel for this emotional, romantic story of the church choir singer and the rock star. I adore Diana and Danny. They are so perfectly in tune with each other; but even though their love story is sweet and heartwarming, it has a darker aspect with plenty of drama and some sensitive situations. The writing is great and the story kept me turning pages but the thing that really shines through is love. Love of family, love of friends, but most of all the soul deep love between Diana and Danny. I enjoyed this book very much.

Diana is different from any woman that Danny's ever met, and he's drawn to her like a moth to the flame. I loved seeing her grow and change with Danny's guidance and support. But she also is a very positive influence on him, even touching his band mates. Theirs is a beautiful friendship that morphs into love, with many challenges along the way. It's a gritty look at the music industry, with lots of surprises in the story line. It was an amazing book to read.

This is my absolute favourite genre rockstars, bands etc and this is Danny’s and Diana’s story, I loved the characters especially Danny who had a kind heart he wasn’t your typical rockstar especially when he met Diana no he was a good man. Sorry guys no spoilers but this is a fantastic story it’s very well written with a fantastic storyline and I highly recommend this book it’s well worth the read.

I received an ARC copy and I leave my voluntary honest review.
What a great story from the word go. To think how this book could have gone it had so many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Then to learn that it was written in 15 day is just mind blowing. Would highly recommend even if you haven't read any of Sandra's books.
Enjoyed this storyline however I did find the jumping between each character’s perspective a bit annoying. Think I just prefer a story describing the situation? While I totally loved the Ford Brothers series, won’t be rushing to buy any of the others in this series.
The great plot was professionally written, and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!
A beautiful love story of a young lady whose world is turned upside down. The surprises and twists will keep you turning the pages. Ms. Alex takes us into the dog-eat-dog world of the entertainment industry while giving us a wonderful love story.
