Too Many Rock Stars by Candy J. Starr
(Access All Areas, #1)Publication date: October 30th 2015
Genres: New Adult, Romance
I don’t date rockers. Don’t sleep with them. Don’t even swap spit. I’ve been working as a band booker at Trouble — the coolest indie rock club in town — long enough to know what a bunch of screwed up, egotistical jerks they are. Some of them might seem okay at first but that’s just because they’ve learnt to hide it better than others.
That would be fine if Razer didn’t keep popping into my office, making himself so annoyingly attractive. And he only gets more insistent when the leather-clad Alex hits town.
While they compete for both rock glory and my affection, I get stuck in the middle but all I really want to do is save my job and the club.
That’s the trouble with my life: too many rock stars.
Excerpt:
As I
walked through the dimly lit store room, something grabbed my arm.
I
screamed.
"Shhh,
it's only me."
"Alex?
What the fuck are you doing?" My heart pounded and anger rushed
to the very surface of my being. He'd scared the bejesus out of me. I
hated walking through that store room. The fucking light was always
broken.
"I
was looking for you. You disappeared."
"You
shouldn't be here. It's off limits."
But
Alex had his arms around me, pulling me closer. My heart still
pounded but it wasn't just with fear this time. His breath was warm
on my neck and his body pressed against mine.
"Is
this off limits too?"
I
wanted to say yes and push him away but I could barely breathe. That
buzzing in my lady bits got more intense. I didn’t relax but I
didn’t resist either. I just let him hold me for a while.
He
put his hand on my chest and felt the pounding of my heart.
"I
really did give you a fright," he said. His voice purred with a
smugness at my reaction.
As
he moved his face closer to mine, I could smell it. In his hair and
on his body. Subtle but pervasive, that rocker smell.
I
broke away from him.
"I
need to get back to work," I said. "I'm not here to play
around. And I have a no rockers rule so let’s keep it all business
from now on."
I
walked into my office and shut the door behind me. My brain kept
saying to stay away from Alex. He was temptation wrapped up in a
creamy package. Smooth as silk and totally tasty. I wouldn't let my
guard down again.
