Rock King (Nothing but Trouble #1) by Tara Leigh
Blurb:
Fans of Kristen Callihan and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!
I'm not who you think I am.
Shane Hawthorne has it all. At least, that's what the headlines say about me. I have millions of fans, awards, more money - and women - than I know what to do with. But what you don't see is the wreckage I've caused. The memories and pain I can't escape, even when I pour them into music and spin them into gold.
I tried to forget. To lose myself in booze and groupies. It didn't work. It hurt me and - worse - it hurt my band. That's the last thing I want to do, so I'm cleaning up my act... starting with Delaney Fraser.
Gorgeous, smart, drama-free, and even nice - Delaney is the perfect "girlfriend." When I'm with her I don't have to pretend. It's like she sees the real me. And I can see a future with her. But that's dangerous. Because the truth is, Shane Hawthorne doesn't actually exist. He's a shield to hide who I really am. Fraud. Runaway. Addict. Murderer.
And it's impossible to love a lie, right?

My Review:
To the outside world, Shane Hawthorne has a perfect life: successful rock star, rich playboy; he's the guy every woman wants and every guy wants to be. But it's all a carefully constructed facade to cover up Shane's troubled past. Underneath it all Shane is a mess, riddled by the guilt of an accident that killed his best friend more than ten years earlier. For too long he overindulged in drugs, alcohol, and women and nearly imploded his career.
Enter Delaney Fraser - the latest in a long line of women paid to be Shane's companion - his "fake girlfriend." But while Shane's previous girlfriends have ranged from aspiring models to actresses, Delaney is just a normal girl with demons of her own - and the realness of her speaks to the darkness in Shane. For the first time in a long time, Shane wants more than a fake relationship with a woman. But how could anyone love someone with a past like Shane's?
I really, really loved this book! I can't believe I didn't read Rock King sooner as it's been on my Amazon wishlist for months now. Shane is the delicious type of broken male character that I swoon for and the similarities between Delaney and Shane's pasts was well-written and believable in the way they look at life, relationships, and themselves.
I love a good rock star romance and this is a perfect read for fans of Kylie Scott's Stage Dive Series, Emily Snow's Devoured Series, and Jamie Shaw's Mayhem series. The only improvement I could have suggested was the relationship/interaction between Shane and the rest of his band. In other series of this subgenre you see rock stars being good friends with their bandmates, or having a lot of scenes where they were together but there wasn't a whole lot of that in this book. There was a little bit with Landon, but nothing that I can recall with Jett and I can't honestly remember if the fourth guy's name was Dex or Dax.
Overall, I couldn't get enough of this book. It was a quick, addictive read and I'm eager to learn more about Landon in Rock Legend.
