What I love most about anthologies is that we get some great reads we may not have gotten otherwise and this one is a charity anthology which makes it even better in my eyes.
I read Marry Me, Magic by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott and loved it so much I finished it in one afternoon.
I am so glad I was able to read about Ian Kagan and Zoe Manning again, we first met them in Rock Revenge Trilogy and now they are back to start the next chapter in their lives...A Wedding! And you can bet that there is fun to be had by the guys from Lost In Oblivion, Ian's friends, as well as Zoe's family that owns The Happy Acres Orchard where the wedding is being held. Expect lots of steam and laughs in this read.
If you have read Ian and Zoe's story you won't want to miss this read.
Happy Reading!!!

RECKLESS SIN by Eden Summers 5 Stars
This is a short story in the Reckless Beat series and it features Mason and Sidney. After all she’s been through with the video scandal, Mason is forced to figure out a way to help Sidney out of their funk. You’ll never guess where they end up. It is deliciously sexy!
This is a FABULOUS story line and no stone is left unturned. I love seeing all the guys from the band and some characters from a different series. The sizzle Rating for this book is OFF THE CHARTS! I hope there will be future shorts updating us on the amazing couples from the Reckless Beat series.

My review covers MARRY ME, MAGIC by Taryn Quinn and RECKLESS BEAT by Eden Summers
•••••••
MARRY ME, MAGIC by Taryn Quinn is a contemporary, adult, erotic, rock, romance novella set in the author’s Rock Revenge/Oblivion Worlds, and a part of the multi-authored HOT! Charity Anthology.
Told from three first person perspectives (Ian, Zoe, Simon) MARRY ME, MAGIC focuses on the upcoming nuptials between rock star Ian Kagan and his fiance artist Zoe Manning. Returning home to the apple orchards for her wedding to Ian, Zoe is surprised with the number of changes to the family business including the beloved barn where she and Ian conceived their son Bez but as family and friends quickly gather to help celebrate their wedding, Zoe quickly discovers that more changes are about to happen to her growing family.
MARRY ME, MAGIC is a quick read; a fast paced novella ; a family reunion of sorts that brings the reader up close and personal with the beloved characters we have met throughout the author’s interconnected worlds of Oblivion. Along with Ian’s older brother Simon, the Kagan brothers ‘christen’ the newly renovated barn, a place of memories and magic for our story line heroine. The premise is heart warming and captivating; the characters are familiar and fun; the romances are provocative and steamy
••••••••
RECKLESS SIN by Eden Summers is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance novella found in the author’s Reckless Beat series, and a part of the multi-authored HOT !: Charity Anthology focusing on rock star romances. This is the continuing story of songstress Sydney Higgins, and singer/songwriter Mason Lynch (Undesired Lust #3) of the rock band Reckless Beat. For fans of Eden Summers, there is a slight cross-over with the author’s VAULT OF SIN series.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including scenes of MFF sexual situations.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Mason and Sidney) RECKLESS SIN focuses on the emotional recovery of our story line couple. Approximately one year earlier, Mason’s phone was stolen, and a $ex tape of Mason, Sydney and Mason’s band mate Sean was uploaded to the internet destroying Sydney’s life in the process, and making a hero out of the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day wherein Sydney’s life continues to spiral, and she has yet to recover completely from the damage done to her psyche and her career. With their relationship in turmoil, Sydney makes an attempt at putting herself back out into the world, while Mason considers a deal to tell their story to the public but jealousy, misunderstanding and a sense of loss and insecurity push Mason to face the possibility that the woman he loves is continuing to spiral out of control, and he may have already lost her to someone else. When confronted with his worries, Sydney reveals a surprising desire, a desire Mason is about to make come true. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Mason and Sydney, as our couple must come to terms with what is happening and why.
All of the members of Reckless Beat return as secondary and supporting characters, as well as Shay Porter and Leo Petrova (Shot of Sin/ Vault of Sin Series); journalist /writer/ gossip Sophia, and songwriter Linden Lee.
RECKLESS SIN is a story of prior betrayal and vengeance, and the fall-out that has affected the life of our story line heroine. The fast paced premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is struggling but energetic and provocative; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.

I am reviewing 3 authors and their stories in the book Hot! A Charity Anthology. I did not figure out a way to leave 3 different reviews for this anthology so I have included all 3 together.
1. Lisa Suzanne's story, Coax Me
2. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott who has the story, Marry Me Magic and
3 The Right Song by Michelle Mankin
------------------------------------
1. “Coax Me”, by Lisa Suzanne. It is a rockstar romance short story found in the book Hot! A Charity Anthology by Michelle Mankin and several other authors. The is about James, a guitar player in the famed band Vail and his wife Morgan. They were introduced in The Little Like Destiny trilogy as a couple. This s the first glimpse into their lives as they didn’t have their own story like Ethan, the drummer (The Invisible Thread and the Power to Break duet), and Mark, the lead singer (A Little Like Destiny, Clean Break, and the Only Ever You trilogy). The story begins with Morgan feeling alone and frustrated with her husband James as she joins her friends for the girls’ nights out where she breaks down that she is going to leave James. Morgan is encouraged to talk to James and to go from there in making final decisions. It’s not that Morgan doesn’t still love James, but staleness, not making each other a priority, and lack of communication left cracks that damaged their marriage. Once Morgan and James talk, action is taken to mend their marriage with a little help at Coax. I will always long for more rockstar romance books from Lisa Suzanne. She knows how to weave a story that is believable, and full of sparks and passion to lead to a satisfying HEA.
---------------------------------------
2. Marry Me Magic by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott is a part of Hot: A Charity Anthology by Michelle Mankin and several other authors. Marry Me Magic is a spin-off of the Rock Revenge Trilogy. Ian Kagan, singer and the brother of Simeon Kagan (lead singer of Oblivion) is finally getting to marry Zoe, the mother of their son Elvis and the love of his life. This novella is the culmination of their epic love story told in the Revenge trilogy. Cari Quinn’s and Taryn Elliot’s rockstar love stories are pure magic. They can tell a story that captivates the reader from the first sentence to the last word penned! I love every single book both ladies have written.
--------------------------------------------3. The Right Song by Michelle Mankin in Hot! A Charity Anthology along with several other authors. The Right Song is the 4th book in the Once Upon a Rock Star Series. Jack is the drummer for Rush McMahon’s band Lorelei is a homeless girl with many secrets there to meet the band and score some free food. Lorelai’s past demons and secrets may destroy her even as she tries to better herself and her life. Jack’s past has defined his present state of just wanting to numb himself from life as he now knows it. Two hurting souls are about to intertwine irreversibly if they can connect. Michelle Mankin leaves just enough crumbs strewn about in the story for the reader to gobble them up in haste to find out what happens next. The story characters each expose little snippets of lies, failures, past mistakes, and a yearning for love or a sense of home with a special someone. The Right Song in the anthology is just a taste of what the complete book with a guaranteed HEA will be about. As always, I want to read the “complete book” NOW! Meanwhile, I will go back and re-read the previous three books in the Once Upon a Rockstar series: The Right Man, The Right Wish, and The Right Wrong.
The authors I reviewed in the Hot! A Charity Anthology: Lisa Suzanne, Cari Quinn, Taryn Elliott, and Michelle Mankin are among my favorite rockstar "Hall of Fame" authors in that I read every single book they publish.

I'm reviewing 2 stories in this antholgy- first up, Coax Me by Lisa Suzanne.
There are a rollercoaster of emotions packed into this little short story, Coax Me, by Lisa Suzanne- part of HOT!: A Charity Anthology, with even more of my favorite rockstar author's works included as well.
It's ten years down the road for Vail bassist James McKinney and his beautiful wife Morgan, for better or worse. She's feeling resentful and neglected, wondering if there is anything left to look forward to in their lives together anymore. Life has gotten hectic and stale as they both naviagate their own projects but it feels like they're living separately in the same house. James is either busy with the band or any of what seems like a million other things that takes him away from her and their sweet young daughter.
Morgan is fed up and tempted to throw in the towel, but then introspective after confiding in her friends, all Vail wives themselves. Sage advice, a ton of honesty and a few reality checks later, James leads Morgan down an exciting and surprisingly unexpected new road- one of rediscovering what drew them together in the first place- their love for each other.
Steaming hot and delightfully sensual times are waiting to be discovered by new readers and old fans alike in Lisa Suzanne's Coax Me. I really loved this short story and truly hope there's more to come for Vail's sexy, second chance couple. Lisa's done a little crossover thing here and it's hot as hell. If you've read her latest Vegas Aces series, you might know what I mean- wink, wink!
Michelle Mankin's The Right Song is next.
Michelles Mankin's contribution to this anthology is an 8 chapter preview of a new book in her Once Upon a Rockstar series- modern retellings of fairy tales with spicey rockstar twists. The Right Song is Jack Howard's turn to hopefully find his happily ever after in this fairy tale story's beginning that I could not put down.
Jack started out his career in a boy band with his brother and another guy as very young men. Too much excess takes it's terrible toll and his life is forever changed. Years later, he winds up in Rush McMohan's band- once a lead singer and now a drummer and back up vocalist, living a new life.
Jack meets a mysterious woman backstage at a meet and greet at their sold out concert and he can't take his eyes off of her. She's beautiful, that's true, but obviously down on her luck. A former friend of his bandmate's ladies, it seems, with a checkered past and still, he's fascinated with everything about her.
Lorelei Lane's vulnerability brings out every protective instinct that Jack has inside him. As her secrets slowly spill out, all he can think to do is ask her to come back to his place so he take care of her. Will she let him? Will she stay long enough to reveal the rest of her secrets, even the ones that might scare him away, or will she run for the hills, never to be seen again?
What an intriguing beginning to what will be a full length book and I want MORE! The rest of The Right Song releases in December- not too long to wait. You're definitely going to want to read this one after this introduction to the story. All the character's I wanted to see from the previous books in Michelle's Once Upon a Rockstar series are here again. I can't wait to see what happens next in the not so subtle attraction between hot drummer, Jack Howard, and the mysterious Lorelei Lane.
I read an early copy of both of the above reviewed stories and these are my honest thoughts about them.

Holy Cow and Crap on a Cracker! I freaking loved it!
Rockstars are my most favourite read ever!! I can never get enough of them and I can’t even tell you how long I’ve had my pre-order in for HOT!! THE CHARITY ANTHOLOGY!
So for I’ve read Eden Summers’ contribution: RECKLESS SIN, and holy crap on a cracker I freaking LOVED it!
We got treated to more of Sidney and Mason from UNDESIRED LUST, Book 3 in the Reckless Beat series and even though we got the HEA at the end of the book, we found that the struggle and the insecurities haven’t magically just vanished. Sidney is just finding her feet, and Mason? He’s just trying to get the world to see her through his eyes – as simply perfect.
I absolutely LOVED being reacquainted with the crew of Reckless Beat. They were in fine form when Mason had them unwittingly stalking Sidney with him on her first public sojourn with a co-songwriting client thinking she’d left him at home. Their banter was witty and hilarious, especially when they realised they’d put their own balls on the line with their respective women should they find out about it 😂 In trying to defend Mason to an angry Sidney, they inadvertently threw him under the bus, meaning I was laughing away to myself all the way through this scene.
This is a novella about taking back personal power and confidence that had been destroyed in a media scandal, and shows communication between couples is key. It was fun, sexy and serious and so well put together that I was gutted when I reached the end. If anything, I can only wish it would lead to another Rockstar release from Ms Summers where the hero is a solo artist in love with someone who abhors the limelight 🤔
What an amazing read. 5-Hot-Anthology-Stars 🎶✯•

This review is for RECKLESS SIN by Eden Summers
If you're a fan of Eden, then there's no doubt you have read her two series Reckless Beat and Vault, and already know Mason Lynch and Sidney Higgins. If you haven't, no worries, Eden does give a little background to their story.
"Sid always comes first. Her feelings. Her thoughts. Her everything."
Mason, a member of the rock band Reckless Beat, and his fiancé Sid didn't have the greatest start to their relationship, and now, a year later, Sid is still a shell of the woman she once was. With encouragement from a friend, she braves her first tentative steps back into the world she's hidden from for the past year. Mason, in the meantime, has his own agenda, he wants to a chance to tell their story, shining a more positive light on Sid than what was originally displayed. Jealousy rears it's ugly head when Sid goes out with another man, is Mason losing the only woman he has ever loved? What can he do to repair their once strong relationship? After getting past some miscommunication, Sid reveals a secret, a desire that Mason will do anything to fulfill.
"You told me to wear something sexy. I'm in goddamn crotchless panties, Mason."
RECKLESS SIN is a quick easy read. It was emotional, confronting, had plenty of laughs, and the sizzle ... well, it was RED HOT!!! Eden certainly doesn't let her readers want for anything. It was fun catching up with the 'naughty' Reckless Beat boys and the crossover with the Vault series was perfect.

Review of Marry Me, Magic by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott.
Ian and his Magic (from Rock Revenge Trilogy) are finally getting married! And what better place than at Zoe's family orchard? They've got their son, their whole family, and a very special barn. But what to do when that special barn has had an upgrade? Is the change too much for Zoe to take? Or will it serve as the perfect place for them (and perhaps others) to have some fun alone time?
I am so happy Ian and Zoe found happiness and came back home to get married. His relationship with his brother Simon has finally stabilized, and they even make a few teary-eyed emotional confessions to each other about their relationship and how they really feel about each other. This really is the perfect holiday epilogue for this couple whose wedding has been a long time coming.

Hot!: A Charity Anthology is a compilation of rockstar novellas from 7 various authors with one thing in common- these stories are a little on the hot side 😉
I read Coax Me by Lisa Suzanne- a novella featuring James and Morgan from her A Little Like Destiny series and the fictitious band VAIL. James and Morgan were always #couplegoals and never had their own story since they were already together- but in this novella we get a little glimpse as their relationship experiences some growing pains and the start of COAX - the exclusive members only club that was introduced in Lisa's Vegas Aces: The Wide Receiver.
For only being a few chapters, Lisa not only put me through some emotions but she brought the heat in it too! After 10 years of marriage, Morgan was feeling unimportant and unseen in her relationship with James and outside of motherhood. I felt her despair and heartache even if it felt like she was throwing in the towel a little prematurely. I loved the quiet fight to reignite their flame and relationship that James did. He didn't do grand declarations or anything but instead showed Morgan through his actions and motives that she has always been and will continue to be his driving force.
I already knew about COAX- but experiencing it in it's preliminary stages through the eyes of a couple that needed to reconnect intimately- lets just say that things get a little steamy. The problem with novellas is that they are always over way too quick and I wish that there was more!

I love anthologies because it is one of the best ways to find new authors and catch up on some characters that I have loved in the past.
The two authors I read were Eden Summers’ Reckless Sin and Lisa Suzanne’s Coax Me,
Reckless Sin brings us to 18 months after the end of Mason and Sidney’s book. They are still together, but struggling a bit, and through a series of events they decide to spice up their relationship by taking a trip to the VIP area at Shot if Sin. Where they definitely find a way to reconnect. The Reckless Beat boys also make an appearance and bring the brand of humor to the story. We also get a little bit of the Vault Series. This is a fantastic story and makes me really hope we get more of both series in the future.
Coax Me is a story about James and Morgan from Vail. Morgan feels like James no longer makes her a priority in his life, and wonders if they marriage is over. When she finally tells James how she feels, he pulls out all the stops to make sure she knows how important she is to him. One of the many ways he shows her is to take her to Coax, which we found out a bit in The Vegas Aces: Wide Receiver Series. When James and Morgan arrive at the club, their passion for each other reminds them of their life and the connection they share. #couplegoals! It was really neat to get a back story behind Coax, and it also made me very excited for what is next to come from Lisa Suzanne.
Now I am off to go and explore the other stories from the other authors in this book!

This is a review of Reckless Sin from Eden Summers & The Right Song from Michelle Mankin.
Reckless Sin is one of the most realistic romance shorts I've ever read. With work stresses and life getting in the way of her mojo, Sidney isn't feeling particularly sexual (an actual real life problem!). Mason fears that there are bigger problems underlying their lack of connection. This is a quick read about them reconnecting physically and testing their boundaries as a couple (this involves some voyeurism and FF).
If you've read Eden before you'll know she is a queen of rockstars. Mason and Sidney originally featured in her Reckless Beat series. And this short crosses over with another great series about the secret sex club, The Vault. I'd honestly forgotten just how much I loved both series so I'll definitely be rereading both now this has given me a super steamy and passionate reminder of the characters.
In The Right Song, Michelle gives us a teasing preview of her new full length romance fairytale retelling. This is an 8 chapter taster of what is to come for Lorelei and Jack. Jack is the ex boybander with tragedy in his past. Lorelei is homeless and has hitchhiked with her dog across the states to seek the help of some old friends. What she isnt counting on is Jack and his need to protect and look after her. Due to his own traumas he is overwhelmingly drawn to her and the need to shelter her. Lorelei's experiences have led her to not trust anyone and seek an escape wherever she goes.
This is a delicious taster of what this story will become and ends on a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the full length story and to get past that ending!

Marry Me, Magic by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott
I'm always just a little bit surprised at how very much I absolutely adore each and every character written by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. But then it takes a total of two minutes, max, into any book, and I feel like I'm amongst the best of friends in the most wonderful world, whichever of their worlds they're writing about.
It's been a bit since I spent any time with Ian Kagan and Zoe Manning, and I am so so happy to see them get their long-awaiting next chapter. Because with the folks that Cari and Taryn write, there is no such thing as getting enough of any of them, and I am thrilled with each new book that gives us more of them. The bad boys of rock and women and families that have tamed them (just a bit!), the ever-evolving and aptly named homeplace of Happy Acres, and so much love. The ladies have, as ever, brought all of the sizzle and all of the sweet to create perfection in this little story. Never to be missed, these ladies are the real deal. Make sure to snap up the HOT! Anthology, and fall in love with some of our favorites all over again. ❤️

review of reckless sin by Eden Summers
i have been a fan of eden summers for years now, and my journey into her books stated with the vault series, and i had forgotten just how much i loved them, if you have not read them (you should) it will not stop you enjoying this story, you just need to know they own an adult club that is hidden below a nightclub, only a selected few people know it exists (even some staff don't know what happens in the vip room) the story also crosses over with the reckless series (a series of books about a rock band called reckless beat, again i don't think you need to of read them as the important bits are covered, although they are amazing and you should :) ) seeing Sidney and Mason (Undesired Lust) visiting for the 1st time, its great to see Sidney regain her confidence, both professionally and privately, plus her and mason growing as a couple talking though their issues and dealing with their past, i love seeing the two books worlds meet, Sidney and Mason are definitely the kind of couple you could Imagine visiting shot of Sin, i have missed all these characters,

RECKLESS SIN by Eden Summers is her latest romance novella from the Reckless Beat series. This is the next instalment of Sidney Higgins and Mason Lynch (Undesired Lust #3) story. For fans of Eden Summers Vault of Sin series, there is a small cross-over in this story as well with a great cameo from Shay and Leo.
This is such an emotional read. Sidney is still trying to put her life back together after the sex tape scandal and Mason will do anything he can to make her happy. Mason organises a deal in a tell all story to try to clear Sidney’s name and Sidney tries working with the lead singer from rival band Bish in an attempt to spread her wings back into the profession she loves. Even though they both think they are communicating with each other, misunderstandings, jealousy and insecurity still simmers on the surface of their relationship.
I just loved seeing all of the Reckless Beat band members reunite in unusual and eventually hilarious circumstances. I really hope this tempting taste of the Reckless Beat series eventuates into a full book as this stunning novella really leaves us wanting more of them!

Review for COAX ME by Lisa Suzanna
This is is short introduction into James, (Drummer from Vail) and his Wife Morgan. Also, an introduction to Coax a club from the Vegas Series! And what a Combination!!!
I found this short Novella pretty emotional; It's something we can all identify with at some point. James and Morgan have been married for 10 years and I really identified with the issues brought up. A wife feeling a little lonely and neglected, keeping the home and their young child happy and Hubby always busy working, the romance gets a little lost in the everyday life, could the grass be greener on the other side? Is this what life has become?
Although a short read, it had me gripped, this couple worked their way back, and found the passion and the love that had always been there, it was just hiding for a little while!!! James brought it on!! He definitely knew how to rock his woman's world! hot!! Morgan Dayum... Lucky Lady!!!
I loved it! And now i am really hoping this is a prelude and we get more of this couple!! Rockstars and Football, in the same world!! YESSSSS

This review is for Coax Me by Lisa Suzanne
This centers around Morgan and James who is the guitar player with the band Vail.
Morgan has plans for the evening and James was supposed to be home earlier and of course he's late. She is feeling like she's the lowest one on his list of priorities.
After going out with her girls, who are wives etc of the other band mates, she goes home and tells James, "I told the girls I'm leaving you". He is surprised and tells her everything he does is for her and their daughter. The bars he opened was because she mentioned years before about having one.
He also hires the sister of his bandmate to be their daughter's nanny. He then asks Morgan if he can take her on a date. They end up in Vegas at the Coax, a bar they want him to be a part of.
"I love you so much," he says. "I will fight to save us with everything I have,"
A quick read and a check in on some members of her rock band.
I Loved it and how it's tied into Coax.
5 stars

Reckless Sin by Eden Summers
What an absolute corker of a crossover short story joining the Reckless Beat & Vault Series characters.
This additional storyline featuring Mason & Sidney, is a perfect extension to their previously told story in Undesirable Lust. It gives us a sneak peak into their lives and how both are managing the controversy that has plagued their relationship. Eden Summers has also left the door open for more juicy extensions to their story in the future if she so desires...and I am sure her fans will share those desires.
The decision to join two of the author's loved series into this storyline is a harmoniously balanced venture.
And let's not forget to mention the grit of this story....the steamy, erotic chemistry that this couple bring to the pages. Yowsers, keep your fans & aircons on when you read this....what a damn hot reading session it is!!!!
A small cameo by Leo & Shay from A shot of Sin gives the stamp of authenticity and spice to this 'Hot' number.
Top marks for this one.

Reckless Sin by Eden Summers
This short story is utter perfection. It is so incredibly steamy it should come with a warning. Reckless Beat meets A Shot of Sin... Need I say more?
Mason and Sidney are as loveable as ever. Mason is so protective of Sid and wants everyone to see what an amazing person she is and even though he feels like he's losing her he is trying to rebuild Sid after the mess of the scandal.
With the help and support of a new friend and Mason I love how Sidney was able to open up again and slowly start to reclaim herself.
Eden has such a great way of writing realistic characters. Not everyone is perfect, daily struggles and anxiety get in the way of what you used to enjoy, relationships require work and the ability to see that the other is hurting and doing what you can to help and support them.
The hardest part is what to say without giving it away... So I'll just finish off by saying if you love rockstar romance then you definitely need to check out this anthology!!

This review is for Coax Me by Lisa Suzanne.
Coax Me is a rockstar romance (one of Lisa's talents!) short story. It centers around James, a guitar player in Vail (go read Lisa's rockstar romances if you haven't!). James didn't have his own story, so this is really the first time we're getting a glimpse into his life with Morgan. Morgan is struggling in her relationship with James and she feels like her only option is to leave him. She feels alone and frustrated, but thankfully her friends give her the advice to communicate with James and express her feelings, because she is clearly still in love with him. Communication (and other things) have been lacking in their marriage, and they clearly need to get back on track. Once they communicate (like adults!) they begin to repair their marriage and James stops at nothing to show Morgan how much he loves her and values their marriage. This may be a short story but you'll get tons of sparks, heat, passion and will be left satisfied... with a HEA ;).

I’m reviewing Lisa Suzanne's "Coax Me". Seen James & Morgan before with his band mates from the group Vail. We got a taste of Coax, after it opened, in The Vegas Aces Wide Receiver series. This is a peak at the club Coax before it opens. Morgan is frustrated that James seems to have her on the bottom of his priorities list. She tells him she’s unhappy and wants out. He tells her everything he does is for her and their daughter. Including the bars they already own that he overheard her talking about wanting years ago. He then finds a nanny, sister of band mate, and takes her out for and evening that they really needed. He had the band play an impromptu gig at their first bar. Then flew to Vegas and took her to Coax. He told her about being approached about investing in it. They toured the 2 floors that were open of the 3 and found a place they can connect with each other like they used to away from home. Loved it and can’t wait for Lisa Suzanne’s next series.

Coax Me by Lisa Suzanne is a short story about Morgan and James. Morgan feels as though she and her daughter at the bottom of James' priority list and she feels like she wants to walk away from her marriage. After talking to 2 of her best friends, she realizes she need to talk to James about how she is feeling. When Morgan states she wants to leave and why, James tells her everything he does is for her and their daughter. He revealed the reason he bought the bar they own and why he bought more. James wants to fight for Morgan and their marriage and plans a surprise date night after he reveals that the reason he was late coming home was that he approached and asked to be an owner of a new club. He doesn't really tell her anything about the club, but says it may be just what they need to save their marriage. Can Coax be what they need to get back on track with their marriage or will Morgan decide she is going to leave for good? That is the million dollar question.

My review is for Marry Me, Magic by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott.
When the members of the Oblivion World come together in a short story, it's a must-read for me. I usually have to go back and skim previous stories in a series to get the characters back into my mind, but for any of these folks, that's 10000% unnecessary.
This one is all about the wedding of Ian and Zoe from the Rock Revenge books. All of the related peeps show up, including Simon & Margo, the Happy Acres gang, Flynn and Rory, and a few others.
For such a short story, it was jam-packed with goodness. All kinds of drinking shenanigans included. I love seeing how into each other the characters are, and that's including the bromances.
One caveat: Don't get written into a Cari Quinn/Taryn Elliott book if you don't want to get pregnant. It's pretty dangerous in their heads.
Five stars to their short story - and I'm going back in to read more!

My review is for Reckless Sin by Eden Summers, but I am excited to read all the books by these amazing writers in this Anthology!!!
Sidney and Mason have been laying low, well as low as an ultra famous rockstar and his amazing songstress possibly can. They have a lot of things going on, Mason's talking movie rights and Sid's collaborating with other artists. They're still together and madly in love, but Sid has been slightly off, and who could blame her after the past few years. Sidney and Mason were coming off a sex tape scandal that blew up their world, professionally and personally. It's taken years for Sid to find her safe haven and that included Mason. Maybe these new distractions will bring them closer, maybe not.
THIS WAS AMAZING! UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS THAT NOT ONLY STICK WITH YOU, BUT IT'S JUST GREAT TO TOUCH BASE WITH THEM AGAIN, AND GET A GLIMPSE INTO THEIR LIVES! WONDERFUL STORY, BUT NOW I WANT MORE RECKLESS BEAT UPDATES!!! A FANTASTIC, SEXY READ!!!
Sidney and Mason have been laying low, well as low as an ultra famous rockstar and his amazing songstress possibly can.

Rockstars are HOT! So if I get to read about many of them and it is for a good cause I am in. Each rockstar story has their own spin and is full of romance, lust, love and only shenanigans that can be had by those with voices like gods and the ability to play an instrument like super humans!
Marry Me by Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn takes us back to Zoe and Ian at Happy Acres. Insert heart eyes when you bring back the rockstars that drive me wild and fill my heart.
I got to see where my favorites are now and how family is above all what drives these men and women with voices that show us their souls. Taryn and Cari write amazing rockstars, so to finally get to see Ian and Zoe get married is the most special treat. Ian and Margo…Lila and Nick and then we got a sneak peek at the Beckett Brothers. I laughed so much at the pre-wedding adventures and there are the sweetest surprises. I want more!
I can’t wait to delve into the rest of the stories.

I read this anthology specifically so I could read Marry Me, Magic by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot! Now, don't get me wrong-I will be reading the rest of the stories, because who doesn't love being able to get multiple stories in one book? But, I fully admit that I can't get enough of these author's rock star books!
If you haven't read the Rock Revenge series by them, I highly recommend them to everyone! And while you could read this story without reading them-I definitely would as their background and how they end up together is all in those books. I loved seeing Ian and Zoe again, along with Simon and Rory!! Ok, let me be honest-I loved seeing all of them characters that we see! The story is a quick read but it just reminded me why I love them and the characters so much. And it drove me to reread them all over again! Not only is it hot with their chemistry but it's also just loving and beautiful. Now, on to the rest of the stories!

This review is for Reckless Sin by Eden Summers
For lovers of rocker romances and for those who have read this author’s Reckless Beat series, you are in a treat as this deliciously steamy read features one of my all time favorite romances couples - Sidney and Mason from Undesired Lust. For a rather fast read, a lot is packed into this short story as it includes a bit of angst, humor, and romance. I reveled in seeing just how strong the connection remained between Sidney and Mason as well as in being reunited with the other guys from this engaging rockstar series. If you have also read this author’s The Vault series, you will be pleased to see some of those characters make cameo appearances. Reckless Sin is a quick and enjoyable read and I now want to go back and reread the entire Reckless Beat series!

This review is for The Right Wrong by Michelle Mankin and is the 4th book in the Once Upon a Rock Star Series.
This story is sweet, amusing and Hot! It is a retelling of the fairy tale The Little Mermaid with Rock Stars.
the H/h had loads of chemistry. I loved Jack, he was so sweet. I was excited to read his and Loreleis story. Jack is in a popular boy band called New Horizon when a tragic event happens and changes the course of his life. 5 years later he is a drummer in Rush McMahons band.
Lorelei was hurt and betrayed in the past and becomes a homeless prostitute to survive. Lorelei tries to turn her life around and is hoping that her past mistakes can be forgiven, she’s tired, hungry and desperate when she meets Jack for the first time.
I love the Once Upon a Rock Star series and am a big fan of modern fairy tails. I am looking forward to reading the entire book.
