A love story that brings two characters together because of a stalker. This story is nicely paced and makes for delightful read. The author does well with character building, gives the reader a great plot to read and enjoy.

I loved Jade long before Ryker even came along. She's strong, self assured, bold and fits into no-one's box. Ryker only brings out the best in her and she, him, in return.
The frightening events that happen only bring them closer and I couldn't have cheered louder for them.

"I'll fight for you."
"I appreciate that, but, usually, I try to fight my own battles."
"Then I'll fight beside you. Or stay in your corner if that's what you want."
Lovely Oblivion is a girl band that took over the world so fast. Their talent was recognized early in their career. Jade is the most popular band member, even though she is a drummer. She has a lot of fans that appreciate her. But she also has one stalker that sends her personal gifts everywhere she goes. At first she thought that's cute, but when his stalking became dangerous for her and everyone around her, they had no other choice but to call Security.
Ryker Vittroli is founder of Vittroli Security Specialists. He is best at his job and when he's called to secure the band he is going to give all he has to make sure they're safe. That job is going to get complicated with his attraction to the band's drummer, Jade. Will he be able to do his job or the spark between them is going to make it hard to manage? Can he protect his heart and the band at the same time?
I love how this book made me feel. It's funny, sad, interesting, steamy and relaxing. Beside the romance there's one topic that's so good expained. We all have a favourite singer/band, but do we really know what they're going through? Do we really know how dangerous can be to be in the focus of the whole world? This book is going to bring this topic closer to the reader. What they're going through every single day. There's not just happy moments and fame, there's also stalking to the point where you can't go anywhere without the thought that you're gonna get hurt or even worse, your loved ones getting hurt...
The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I didn't felt the romance between Jade and Ryker, to me it was like forced, not realistic. But besides that I really enjoyed reading it. It's interesting and easy read, for relaxing. The author's style is good and you won't even realise that you're reading, you will feel like you're part of the team.

Lovely Oblivion is the first book in a new series. Jade is the first one and Lovely Oblivion is actually the name of the band Jade is in with 4 other females.
I enjoyed this book but honestly I didn’t read it for a couple days. I just put it down and didn’t pick it back up like I thought I would. I don’t know if I didn’t want it to end or if life was just getting in the way.
I enjoyed the characters though and really liked Jades attitude and spunkiness. Ryker was an interesting character but went toe to toe with Jade and the chemistry was there from the first look. I was not expecting the twist that came from Ryker or the twist at the ending. I definitely did not guess who Rose was. I felt bad for Jade though and couldn’t imagine going through something like that. Thankfully Ryker and his crew was there but it was still scary. Jade hung in there though and definitely wanted Ryker whether she was a job or not. I felt like these two moved pretty fast but they worked well together.
Interested in seeing who the girls end up with as the series continues.

Jade is a famous rock star who catches the attention of a crazy fan. When the fan starts to escalate their advances, Jade's band is forced to hire in a private security firm to help protect them. Ryker is a sexy former Navy Seal with blue eyes and head of the security team assigned to protect her that Jade is immediately drawn to, but they can't be together as he needs to stay focused on protecting her. This book was written really well. The suspense kept it interesting throughout. My only complaint is that I'd prefer they didn't get together so soon in the book. I would have liked a little more angst/build up to their relationship. Otherwise, I really enjoyed reading it.

A scorching series opener!
A stalker has become fixated on Jade (the take her as she is drummer from punk band Lovely Oblivion).
Enter Ryker Vittroli – head of the specialist security team that is brought in for the band’s protection. Ryker has a firm rule about keeping his hands off the client but Jade is intent on persuading him otherwise.
Likable characters, smooth dialogue and a solid plot makes this an enjoyable read. Even better is knowing that each member of the band will have their own novel – worth looking forward to!

A new author for me but I'm sure that this won't be the last book I read in this new series.
This one concerns Jade the drummer of said group Lovely Oblivion.
A good fast paced read concerning her and her body guard. Not the normal shenanigans as she has a demented stalker but is feisty enough to try and track him down if needs be.
Liked the others in the band and I understand they are the main feature of the next books in the series.
Some great hot sex, so not a book to give to your mum!
I read the book in a day as I found it hard to put down and I wanted to know who the stalker was.

Romantic liaisons!
Really enjoyed this book. Story follows Jade, the member of a rock band who has an romantic relationship with a security guy employed to protect her after a stalker progressively gets more dangerous to the point where her life is in danger. The price of fame is high and Ryker has his suspicions that someone close has betrayed her trust but does he suspect the right person? This book has it all, a steamy relationship, jealousy, betrayal and suspense and this talented writer has created a story that keeps your interest piqued from the start and throughout. Great read!

I love bodyguard romance and instalove. I love a good guy that I can count on. I liked both of these characters.
It was a bit cheesy and overall just not my style of writing, even though it was done well. 3rd person makes it harder for me to feel the story instead of just watching it unfold in my head.
I did learn what space buns were though. That made me happy.

I loved this book! Jade and Ryker were into each other from the beginning, but it wasn’t the all consuming insta-love that makes them stupid. Ryker is focused on his job of protecting Jade, but they still manage to fall in love. I enjoyed the progression of the stalker and how everything ended. Very well written and I can’t wait for more!

Lovely Oblivion Jade by A.D. Craig is an enjoyable read. It’s not usually my genre but this one really hit the spot. It is well-paced, well-written, and has an interesting plot with the right amount of heat!
Yes, I recommend this one!

A really enjoyable read. Jade and Ryker were strong and engaging characters with terrific chemistry. I loved that their wasn't any angst in the build up of their relationship and their flirting was fun and sexy. The plot was gripping and filled with plenty of suspense, action and danger. I loved this.

Just the right amount!
This story contained just the right amount of romance and suspense to hold my interest from beginning to end. I was truly interested in Jade and Ryker's relationship, and wanted to see how it played out. Well done!

A punk rock version of the body gaurd but better.

I had seen this book on BookSirens for awhile and it always caught my eye when I was scrolling through the list of books available for review. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read a rockstar bodyguard romance, but then I noticed that it was also labeled military romance and suspense romance, which are my go to and favorite tropes. I decided to take the plunge and read this book.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this rockstar bodyguard romance between Jade Lewis and Ryker Vittroli. Jade is in a band called Lovely Oblivion and she is one of the 5 women in the band. Ryker is the director of Vittroli Security Specialists and his team was hired by Jade’s record label after Jade’s fan turned stalker sends her a disturbing text and an accident on stage injured someone.
Ryker Vittroli is every bit the Alpha male and former NAVY SEAL that he is described to be. His past was unexpected and it presented a new twist on how things might go in the book. Jade Lewis is the sexy, confident rockstar that has a personality that lights up the room and your attention is just drawn to her. The relationship between Jade and Ryker was both slow building and fast paced if that makes sense. They had an instant connection and eye for one another when they first met each other. Ryker laid out the rules to Jade that he doesn’t get involved with his clients, but he also enjoys her company as they learn to be friends and get to know one another.
I recommend this book to those who has seen this book and wondered it it was worth the read because it is. It is filled with suspense, drama, witty banter and sarcasm, danger, lust, steamy scenes, and love. I am definitely interested in reading the rest of the books in this series. I am hoping that Jade’s bandmates and the other members of Ryker’s team will be in them. I definitely want to see who gets together next. I think I saw that Bex will be the next book. I can’t wait to read that one and read what happens next with Jade and Ryker.

This Story Has It All, and Then Some!
LOVELY OBLIVION, the name of the girls’ band, rocks out! At the beginning of the book, you don’t know what you, the reader, are in for! Hang on to your seats! It’s a hell of a ride.
This book has it all. Every emotion you can feel while reading pops up somewhere in this storyline, including a mystery to be solved. You get to watch love bloom. The story has its fair share of steam and laughs, too.
This book is worth the time spent. It was a one-sitting read for me.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book has suspense, drama, danger, lust and finally love. Jade and Ryker have an attraction that sparks on the pages. He is hired to keep her safe, not fall for her. She is trying to stay on track between the tour and the crazy person stalking her. Both of them try hard to deny the chemistry that they have, until they just cannot any longer. With danger waiting for the right moment, Ryker and his team will have to work fast to keep her safe. If they have any chance at a future together, they have to focus on the danger. I enjoyed this book. I thought the writing was well done and the characters were great together

Great rockstar/body guard read. I loved the story, the characters were great, the writing was wonderful. I couldn't put this book down!

For an independent novelist this book has excellent character development and story line. The main characters are hot! I received this through a book subscription box and couldn't put it down. I will be on the lookout for more from this series!

Suspenseful and steamy
As soon as Ryker said he wouldn't touch Jade, I knew he would. I didn't suspect for a second his libido willpower was that strong.
While the $ex scenes were steamy, this story was not all about the no0kie. There was a plot. I was on the fence regarding who was the unstable fan for a minute but then it just clicked who it was.
This story had heat, humor, and suspense. Three things I for in this genre. I look forward to reading book 2, featuring Bex - lead singer & fiddle player.

A great bodyguard/rockstar love story. The story flows smoothly allowing the reader to learn the characters and root for them while trying to figure out who the stalker is. I really enjoyed this novel and can't wait to read more of this series.
February 11, 2022
Lovely Oblivion is a light, well-written read. Jade, the drummer of the band and her bodyguard, Ryker, fell in love instantly. They are loveable characters and the story makes me want to know more about the others.
February 12, 2021
Wow... Just wow... for a debut novel independently released? I'm speechless. A.D. Craig is a great writer. Yep this had all you needed for a rock star romp. Rockstar? Check. Hot security? Check. Stalker? Check. Steamy, sex? CHECK!. Jade and Ry are hot! I’m guessing (or perhaps hoping) that this is the first story of many for the band Lovely Oblivion.
WHAT AN INTENSE RIDE. No words. Need a minute.
