I’m no Prince Charming.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I’m also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, “The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet.” Apparently, I’m a legend.
Am I surprised? Hell, no. It’s a reputation I’ve earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune… and spent every damn day since pretending I don’t regret it.
Now fate’s dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it’s a second chance for me – for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can’t give Piper a future.
Because there’s a difference between a legend and a fairy tale…
Only one of them ends happily ever after.
Releasing on July 17th!!
Rock Legend is the second book in the Nothing But Trouble series and can be read as a standalone. After reading the first book in the series I was a little hesitant to request an arc of Rock Legend. Don’t ask my why because honestly I haven’t the slightest clue. I’m happy to have had the chance to read Rock Legend by Tara Leigh, Landon is by far my favorite character in the rock band Nothing But Trouble!
About Rock Legend:
This novel deals with some tough subjects. Landon was born into an abusive household. He was neglected and physically abused nearly his whole childhood. That is why the man has such a negative opinion of himself and his self worth. Landon is the drummer for Nothing But Trouble.
Piper’s always tried to reach a level of perfection that would prove to her father that she is worthy of his love. She’s always went out of her way to be better than all and succeed just to get a glimpse of notice from him. But he never acknowledged her. Now Piper has a misguided notion of what parenting and love is all about causing her to see the world in a negative light. But all the work through the years didn’t go unnoticed, now Piper is at the top of her field working with the hottest rock bands on the planet. When a blast from the past in the form of Rock Legend Landon Cox comes back into her life, she has to decide if she’s willing to give him another chance after he abruptly disappeared years ago without a word.
My thoughts:
First off let me start by saying, Tara Leigh completely blew me away with Rock Legend. I went into this novel expecting to like it, but damn, I didn’t think I’d get so swept away in this story line. I freaking loved it. One thing I loved about this novel was the instant chemistry between Landon and Piper. I’m a sucker for second chance romances, if done right. Let me be the first to say, I was rooting for these two from the very beginning.
Landon is the typically egotistical rock star who thinks he’s god’s gift to women. To put it plain and simple, he’s a manwhore. As I dove deeper into this novel and caught glimpses of the man Landon truly is, I realized his manwhore vibe is a shield protecting the boy from his childhood. I felt complete devastation for Landon. One thing I love about romance novels such as Rock Legend is being able to uncover the bad boy and seeing the true man that lies beneath the shield and Landon’s truth is something that shouldn’t be missed.
Piper is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Landon. She’s someone who isn’t typical to Landon, he’s used to woman falling in his bed and not having to work for it. Not with Piper, Piper was burned by Landon once and she’s not about to let that happen again. I loved Piper and the way she didn’t put up with Landon’s shit. She is the perfect antidote to his womanizing ways.
Overall, Rock Legend was loads of fun! I’m so happy I took a chance on this novel and this series! I cannot wait for Dax’s story! I need more Nothing But Trouble!
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
