If music nourishes the soul…
Loved by millions, but shunned by blood, Heath “Fang” Fangor has
led his band, Hot Wired, to the top while others have fallen by the wayside. He
devoted his life to music, and from that devotion harvested a new family—his
band mates and fans.
A man can desire nothing else…or
can he?
Living in the shadow of her brother’s fame sucks! Sam Collins is
desperate to have what she wants—a simple and uncomplicated life. She’s no
stranger to scandals and how they work. Now that she’s inadvertently dragged
Fang into the center of her latest gossip, could the scandal she created in her
quest for freedom have gone too far?
Amid stardom the heart stages a
new melody…
Fang has more fame and fortune than he will ever need, but none
of that matters if he can’t have the woman of his dreams. Years have been
wasted waiting for the right moment to approach the woman his heart desires
above all others. There’s just one major problem...she’s his best friend’s
sister. To have her, he will have to risk it all.
One that might be responsible for
Rockin the Heart!
Gracen Miller’s Rockin’ the Heart is the first book in her new Hot Wired
Series. She takes us into the world of the southern rock band, Hot Wired. It is a all you would expect: hard partying,
intrusive press, groupies, fights, and music. It’s wrapped up in a tight knit
southern “family”. They have lived and
played together and, with her brother, helped raise Samantha “Sam” Collins
after her parents sudden death. But Sam is not a little girl anymore. She is a
grown, rebellious woman. To make matters worse, lead singer “Fang” has
developed feelings for her that cannot be described as brotherly. Sam has
similar feelings but an over-protective brother and bandmates and their own
fears may tear them and the band apart.
This is a nicely written book. Fang
and Sam are well developed characters. We come to understand there interior
life as it has shaped and conflicts with their interior life. The setting and action are believable and
vivid. Sam’s brother Jase was I felt not as well developed. His attitude and
behavior felt too extreme at the beginning.
On the other end, the two other
band members, Keys and Derr, did not standout as two distinct
personalities. In addition, there were
more than a few noticeable typos and sudden point of view shifts within scenes
and sometimes paragraphs.
Overall this was a well crafted
book and I would recommend it. I look forward to seeing how the series develops.
I give Gracen Miller’s Rockin’ the Heart 4 of 5 triskeles.
