This story can be read as a standalone. Raised in poverty and violence, Gabe Reed wears a could-care-less attitude like a shield. He expects life to suck. It always has, and he is usually the one to screw it up even more. Drumming for the college band Luminescent Juliet started as a way to release the built up rage inside of him. But when the band signs with a label, Gabe begins to envision a different life. He just needs to stay out of trouble and follow the court orders of his probation. April Tanner knows most people view her as perfect. From her icy looks to her college four point, she cultivates the persona since it helps keep people at a distance. Because behind her perfection, April constantly struggles with a past that she is trying to atone for but can’t face. Though Gabe and April seem worlds apart, fate throws them together and forces them to see beyond the fronts they each present. But even an emerging friendship mixed with a growing lust might not be able to overcome the walls built of guilt and insecurity and abuse that stand between them. *New Adult for language and sexual situations.

So I absolutely love books that tell the stories of the colorful life I presume most artist live. The Luminescent Juliet series is one of my favorites. Each book tells the story of a band member: lead guitar, lead singer, bassist, and drummer. This is Gabe the drummers story. Lord knows I love the drummer. Gabe doesn't try to hide or sugarcoat the hell he was raised in. His mother left him when he was just six years old with an abusive father. His father's girlfriend Sharon is the closest he's ever had to a mother and when Gabe is old enough and big enough to stand up to his dad it's no surprise it's to protect her. He became hugely protective of woman in general .Never able to stand by and watch a man take out his aggressions on a lady. In his attempt to avoid confrontation with his dad, Gabe has always had girlfriends that could give him a place to stay. I'd add selfless and generous to his list of admirable qualities. His pride may be his most notable flaw but I'd prefer that over an egotistical man-whore. April happens to be really good friends with Riley who was the lead female character in book one and at one time she even dated Romeo, the bands lead guitarist. Gabe has made it pretty clear he doesn't like her. She is his complete opposite. She tells no one about her self imposed punishment or what drives her to be a psychologist. She keeps her talents and family life very private. She is close to graduating with a degree in psychology but her very insightful professor pushes her to participate in group therapy and now April and Gabe's paths outside of the band have crossed and neither are very happy about it. One of the biggest surprises about Gabe is how self aware he is. He's super smart and intuitive. When he joins group therapy to try and get control of his temper and aggressive behavior, he's afraid that April could make it difficult for him to openly participate. His biggest fear of being kicked out of the band could become a reality. I found myself often thinking that Gabe had more potential to be a counselor than April. She can't be completely honest with anyone including herself and that's like a prerequisite for someone who wants to counsel others. The magic happens as they gradually become friends and their mutual attraction gets harder to hide. Gabe leads April to her truth and she becomes the calm in his storm. My wish for this story would be that it had continued with an epilogue that went a little further into their future. Or even better would be a novella that gives us a look at where the whole band ends up in a couple of years. My point is that I can't get enough of these characters. 5 stars across the board for Luminescent Juliet.

Rock My Heart By Angie Elle Thank you to Jean Haus for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review.Jean Haus manages to blend two things I’m not typically a fan of—New Adult and rockers—and make me fall in love with the story and characters every time. Rock My Heart is the fourth (and I think final) book in the Luminescent Juliet series. While this book can be read as a standalone, the first three books in this story are worth the read, and I think Romeo (the lead male in the first book) and his take charge, level-headed personality really sets the tone for the following books.Rock My Heart is the story of Gabe and April, two people who, like all of us, have scars from their pasts and are taking it day by day as they try to live with them. Gabe is the drummer for an up and coming hot band called Luminescent Juliet who finally feels like he has something worth fighting for, and April is a psychology student clinging to the perfect persona she’s created in an effort to keep her sanity together.I absolutely loved both of these characters. Almost against their will, they recognized something in each other that pulled them together. They played it close to the vest as far as emotions were concerned, but had a hard time bluffing with each other. It’s Gabe convincing April to complete her deceased relative’s bucket list with his help that brings them together, and through their endeavor, April realizes Gabe isn’t as indifferent as he tries to be, and the ‘ice queen’ Gabe sees April as begins to thaw. There was a constant push and pull as they struggled with finally learning to share their burdens, and I love the way it happened so naturally. I liked watching Gabe struggle to find his place in the world. He was never sure where he belonged. Even with the band, he was their second choice for drummer and that only added to his feeling of unworthiness. I thought the pacing of this book was perfect. Nothing felt rushed to me, but there was always something happening that was pushing the plot along. There were so many romantic moments in this story, and the steamy scenes were hot!I had a few issues with the book – first of all, we heard very little about the suicide that rocked April’s life and was what ultimately drove this plot. It was something she agonized over, but we didn’t really read about the event very much. I feel like that would have been constantly plaguing her and would have expected to read more about it. Also, the end seemed to be drag out a little bit. On the other hand, I thought the epilogue was wonderful and gave us a nice glimpse into the future of all the members of Luminescent Juliet. I liked the way that portion was wrapped up.As for the series overall, I absolutely loved it and can’t recommend it enough. Romeo’s story was the perfect beginning; it set the tone for the entire series. He was incredibly driven and professional, and it was his mindset that got the band to where they were in the last book. It was also what kept them all in line and not over-the-top crazy. I felt like the drama in this series was well-written and not overdone. It also dealt with some serious social issues in a very sensitive way, including depression, mental illness, and bullying. I loved the covers for the first two, In the Band and Ink My Heart. I think they are enticing and would make me pick up the book to read the blurb. The last two, With the Band and Rock My Heart, are the exact opposite for me. My eye would just glide right over them without stopping. I wish the cover style had remained the same for the series.Rock My Heart was a wonderful story of healing and of learning that your past is only part of what defines you. If you like a sweet love story minus crazy drama, this story would be perfect for you.This review was originally posted at Badass Book Reviews.

By Dirty Girl Romance Ever since I was first introduced to this fantastic series a couple years ago, I've been waiting for Gabe's book. Something about the silently brooding and manwhorish drummer has always called to me. And after finishing his book, I gotta say that Jean Haus has definitely saved the best for last. I absolutely loved it!While you may technically read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend you read the series in order to truly get the appreciation for all the side characters. The author does a fantastic job of giving all the background without making it be redundant for those that have been following the series; but it's definitely best read as a series. Jean Haus is one of those authors that I wish more readers knew about. Her ability to weave music into her writing always gives an additional layer to her books. It's actually one of the things I've grown to love most about her writing. She doesn't just write a rockstar romance, she gives you the music element to go along with it.Gabe Reed is the drummer for Luminescent Juliet. He's a man of little words and barely contained violence. His less than favorable childhood pretty much assures this...His band is on the route to true fame, but his position in it isn't quite as guaranteed. His anger issues and short fuse to violence has given him a record. And although he's not quite as threatened by Romeo's girlfriend for the position of a drummer that he had originally lost to her now that she has her own band, he's still filled with doubt. The last thing he needs is the presence of the ice princess at his court mandated group meetings...April Tanner isn't what she appears. Keeping a tight reign on her facade is the only thing that keeps her from coming apart at the seams."I have issues. Tons of them. Most people do. I'm just far, far better than most at hiding them. The root of my issues, the real reason, the burden I live with every day, will never come out...Not in the future. Just not ever."While she may understand that the perception of what she seems to be is what causes the look of contempt on Gabe's face every time he sees her, it doesn't help her fight her attraction to him any more. When Gabe walks into her group therapy meetings, she's forced to deal with the tension between them head-on and it's not long before the spark between them fly.As different as Gabe and April are, somehow together they make perfect sense. Their road to a relationship is rocky at best and filled with dark secrets and tragic pasts. But it's also beautiful and emotional. As cold as April comes off on the outside, inside is she's shattered.Her friendship with Romeo and ties to the band hurt her as much as they help her for reason that are trickle fed to the reader. She keeps such a tight control on her life and her emotions, and yet at the same time she's punishing herself for a tragic past and attempting to atone for it.Gabe has issues of his own. He definitely doesn't make it easy on April with his assumptions of good girls like her being too good for the likes of him. As much as he fights it, he also can't help the bond he soon begins to feel for her. When he offers to complete a bucket list from April's cousin that passed away tragically young is the catalyst for their unlikely relationship.I have to say that I absolutely loved these two together. As much as neither of them are perfect, together they made perfect sense. Rock My Heart was the perfect combination of emotional and sexy. It's everything I've come to love about NA and wish more books in the genre had. It's not the typical cliche ridden romance. The characters and their stories have so much depth; and that goes even more so for this book. I absolutely loved it and would recommend for any lovers of NA or rockstar romances.
