BLOG TOUR, REVIEW, EXCERPT and GIVEAWAY: ROCK THE BEAT (BLACK FALCON #3) by MICHELLE A. VALENTINE

November 7, 2013

Today we have a review and fantastic giveaway for Michelle Valentine’s ROCK THE BEAT, along with a very spicy excerpt! Enjoy – Trip and Holly would make some great weekend reading!

Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Holly Pearson never dreamed that while working at her father’s motocross track she’d run into the walking, talking definition of trouble in a sexy, tattooed package—Trip Douglas, the man sent to evaluate the track for a possible investment opportunity. Holly makes no attempt to hide the fact she despises Trip, but she learns to be civil toward him when he offers to help her land the man of her dreams.

Trip needs a break from the crazy rock-and-roll lifestyle he’s been living for the past few years. With his Black Falcon band mates settling down with marriage and babies, Trip peruses an investment opportunity in motocross, something he’s always been passionate about. Hiding his celebrity status, Trip infiltrates the new business posing as a dirt bike rider training for the X-Games. The only obstacle is the owner’s daughter, Holly. She’s a real ball bustin’ Ice Queen, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make the deal fall through. Trip soon discovers that winning over his new enemy is the key to gaining a partnership in Mountain Time Speed Track.

Knowing he’s the expert on getting laid, Trip ropes Holly into becoming his ally by helping her score a date with the man she’s crushing on. The problem is, the more time Trip and Holly spend together, the more they uncover the undeniable attraction between them. Soon they both realize that even the best laid plans go to hell when you find you’re falling in love with the enemy.
**Book THREE in the Black Falcon series. Can also be read as a stand-alone novel**
Review
No one can write a hot and sweet rocker book quite like Michelle Valentine. In Rock the Beat, we have good-girl Holly, who finds herself in the middle of a very painful break-up with her semi-famous boyfriend, Jackson. Along comes hot-as-hell Trip, who is looking into investing in Holly’s family business. Holly has no idea who he is, but makes it quite clear that she detests celebrities and would never become involved with one. Trip is increasingly attracted to Holly so he hides his true identity. He wants Holly to accept him for who he is and not because he is rich and famous. Trip agrees to help Holly try to win Jackson back, but in the process, he can’t deny his feelings towards the very sweet and very beautiful Holly.

There is an interesting subplot involving Holly’s best friend Max which adds some weight and drama to this hot rock star romance. I also love the alternating POV’s. Overall, a very sexy and fairly quick read for fans of the Black Falcon series!

Excerpt:

I pull a pair of sunglasses out of my pocket and slip them on my face. “I’m new in town.”
“Is that right?” I don’t care for the snide tone in his voice. No one challenges me even a little bit and gets away with it.
I stiffen my back. “Yeah. That’s right. What of it?”
Jackson raises his eyebrows. “It’s just I know all the riders around here.”
“Like I said, I’m new, and to be honest I don’t care for the fucking third degree you’re trying to give me. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll back off. Now.”
He narrows his eyes at me. “Maybe you don’t get how things work around here, so I’m going to fill you in. I run this place. Nothing goes on around here without my okay.”
I laugh. “That’s funny, because I sure as hell swooped in and stole your girl from under your nose.”
He shakes his head. “You and I both know I can get Holly back anytime I want her. When I get tired of fucking around and I’m ready to settle down, she’ll take me back. Don’t doubt my hold on her. I own her.”
My fingers curl into fists at my side. I know the plan is to make him want her back, but after talking to this motherfucker, I know she deserves better. The urge to protect her rages inside me. “That’s what you fucking think. I’d like to see you try and take her from me.”
Jackson smirks. “Care to place a bet on that?”
Is this asshole for real? He has no idea who in the hell he’s challenging. “I don’t need to gamble on something that I know is a sure thing.”
He steps closer, invading my personal space. “I was with her two years. I could fuck her right in front of you if I wanted.”
“Watch your fucking mouth. I swear if you say one more thing about her—”
“You’ll what?” he dares me. “Hit me? Do you know who I am, pretty-boy? My lawyers will eat you for breakfast.”
His threat doesn’t even faze me and it’s obvious he has no clue who I am, and that I don’t give a fuck about the law. It’s never stopped me from ripping into someone’s ass before, and it’s not going to start now. “Talk about her like that again, and see what happens.”
Jackson’s tongue touches the corner of his mouth as he wears a smug smile. “You don’t know what you’ve fucking started. I’m going to take her away from you now just because I can. Your days are numbered, prick.”
The muscle in my jaw flexes. “Keep telling yourself that, while I’m in her room at night tasting that sweet pussy.”

REVIEW TOUR: ROCK MY WORLD (BLACK FALCON #2.5) by MICHELLE VALENTINE

July 9, 2013

Blurb:

*A Novella in the New York Times and USA Today best-selling Black Falcon series*




After Aubrey Jenson is wrongly dismissed from her job at Center Stage Marketing, she seeks legal advice from her father, The Judge, to see what grounds she has to get her position reinstated. Her surprise visit to her family doesn’t go as smoothly as she hopes when she brings home her new boyfriend, Zach, Black Falcon’s lead guitarist. She soon discovers that father doesn’t always know best when it comes to matters of the heart.

When Zach meets Aubrey’s family, he’s immediately faced with his deepest fear: The love he so desperately wants, he doesn’t deserve. The Judge makes no attempt to hide his disdain for Zach, and will stop at nothing to keep him away from his daughter. But an unexpected twist turns everyone’s plans upside down and no one’s world will ever be the same. 

Outside forces attempting to pull them apart are strong and it’s going to take every bit of Zach and Aubrey’s love for one another to withstand the fall-out. Soon, they discover making love last is harder than finding it to begin with and sometimes you pay the ultimate price for true love.




***Note from author: This novella follows Riff and Aubrey’s story from ROCK MY BED.***

Rock My World on Goodreads

Review:

Rock My World is a very sexy entry in the Black Falcon series! It is a fairly quick and very entertaining read. The story follows Aubrey and Zach (Riff’s “real” name), as they return to Aubrey’s home to meet with her father over a legal matter. Except that Aubrey hasn’t told her parents she was bringing home her tattooed, rocker boyfriend! The awkward situation with Aubrey’s very conservative parents only adds to Zach’s insecurities, as he struggles to convince himself that he is good enough for Aubrey.

Much drama and hot sex then ensues in this very steamy novella. Will Zach and Aubrey let outside influences drive them apart? Will Aubrey cave in to her conservative parents and leave Zach? Everything comes to a very satisfying conclusion in this story. As usual, Michelle Valentine really delivers a catchy plot with very memorable characters and some scorching hot scenes.

I love Aubrey and Zach. Rock My World is a great entry in the Black Falcon series, and I’m looking forward to reading Trip’s story next, in Rock the Beat!
