The Road to Rocktoberfest 2022 #7
Bleeding Dawn
Identical in appearance, twins Winter and Tripp are as different as night and day when it comes to everything but the music they’ve spent the bulk of their lifetimes composing. Now they’ve attained the fame they always hoped for, and it’s as empty and meaningless as the remains of route 66, and about as broken too. Would help if Winter could see it. Tripp’s sure he’ll lose his shit completely the next time some random groupie leaps on the hood of his car and begs to take a selfie, but to Winter, every night is a party, he lives for the crazy hookups, lives for the crazy, period.
Another place they differ.
Tripp would kill for one season to slow down. Just three months where he and Zakk could melt into obscurity and be whomever they wanted, together. Only Zakk’s band, Tattered Angel, is on fire too and it’s starting to seem like the music he’s always loved is hell-bent on keeping him from exploring love of a different kind. Last year’s Rocktoberfest was an amazing triumph, this year, it’s starting to feel like the road to the desert is burning him alive.
Would be so easy to slip off across the sand, melt into a dune on the back of some strange, psychedelic serpent, never to be heard from again. If only there was a way to ensure Zakk took that last ride with him.
Bleeding Dawn is part of the multi-author The Road to Rocktoberfest 2022 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see who hits the stage next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for? Kick back, load up your kindle and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

About the author
Layla Dorine
103 books207 followersLAYLA DORINE lives among the sprawling prairies of Midwestern America, in a house with more cats than people. She loves hiking, fishing, swimming, martial arts, camping out, photography, cooking, and dabbling with several artistic mediums. In addition, she loves to travel and visit museums, historic, and haunted places.
Layla got hooked on writing as a child, starting with poetry and then branching out, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Hard times, troubled times, the lives of her characters are never easy, but then what life is? The story is in the struggle, the journey, the triumphs and the falls. She writes about artists, musicians, loners, drifters, dreamers, hippies, bikers, truckers, hunters and all the other folks that she’s met and fallen in love with over the years. Sometimes she writes urban romance and sometimes its aliens crash landing near a roadside bar. When she isn’t writing, or wandering somewhere outdoors, she can often be found curled up with a good book and a kitty on her lap.

Really enjoyed this one!
Personally I'd ignore the blurb because it didn't fit with the story at all and was just confusing! The story was so much better.
I liked how there were three bands all interlinked by relationships, whether romantic or familial. I also really liked how everyone worked through their issues and made all of their relationships better.
There were definitely parts that bugged me, or seemed pretty unrealistic but the story was entertaining and held my attention, even got a couple of tears out of me which I really wasn't expecting.
I think this is my favourite installment in the series so far, and I'd actually want to read more about all of these characters.

This was my first time reading this author and I was plesentally surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. This was just such a super fun that gave all of the cute feels and I really enjoyed that.
Everything about the concept of this book appealed to me. I adore friends to lovers and I adore reading about struggling rock stars who need hurt/comfort from the person that they love. And this book really did these concepts super well for me.
This was a super lovely read. The romance was super cute and sweet and the development of it was very fun to read. This was just such an enjoyable book and I had a lovely time reading it.
I received an arc of this book and this is my honest opinion.

Not sure what to say about this installment in the Road to Roctober series.
It has been my least favorite so far.
Characters Personalities change with each chapter, it lacked consistency and growth. It was like reading about a ping pong match. I really liked the characters and wanted to understand them but it was giving me whiplash.
Many references to things that were never explained as well. Perhaps they come from the author’s previous works.
At times I wasn’t sure who the main characters were. It felt like a lot of ideas and plot written down with no structure or story arc planning.
For me it didn’t flow well and needed some polishing to do justice to the world building that was very good.

I loved all the characters in this one, they all have such clearly delineated personalities and they rub up against each other in realistic ways, sometimes everything is rolling along smoothly and other times they just can't find any way to talk or compromise. Tripp is the main character driving the plot here and at the beginning of the story he's wound so tightly he's driving away his brother Winter and the love of his life Zakk. He wants to be in control of everything so that nothing can slip in and hurt him or catch him flat footed. Unfortunately, other adults don't like to be controlled and the effort causes a dangerous health scare for Tripp. As he, Zakk and their bandmates take a much needed spa vacation, the landscape and Zakk work on Tripp and he begins to see Winter for the man he really is and allows Zakk inside some of the walls he's built. The growth in Tripp in amazing and as he changes, the other characters show different sides of themselves too. A wonderful story of love and reinvention.
