Synopsis
First in Dawn Ryder’s sizzling new Rock Band series.
Rock
star Syon Braden writes and plays the most extreme—and profitable—music
from the depths of his shredded heart. He’s got a double platinum
record, adoring fans, and success for his band Toxsin—but it’s what he
can’t have that he craves.
Custom leather designer Kate Napier has her sights set on success, and
that means keeping irresistible rock stars like Syon out of her bed. The
chance to tour with the band and provide them with a fantastic custom
wardrobe is too major an opportunity to turn
down. But immersion in the dark, wild world of Toxsin on tour means
Kate’s about to get rocked…hard…body and soul.

Excerpt
The Staples Center was roaring.
It
sounded like a tsunami coming in, or a freight train passing three feet
in front of her face. It was more than sound; there was a vibration that
traveled through her body, all the way down to her bones. There
was a current in the air that practically crackled with excitement.
The
bodyguard-slash-security guy showed Kate up to a private box. She
followed because she didn’t want to squeal like a little girl and ask to
be taken home.
She’d never lost her head like this before.
It was
embarrassing on an epic scale. She was pissed at herself for rolling
over so easily for a man who wouldn’t recall her name by the end of the
night.
The
box had plush seats and an open rail overlooking the stage. The lights
went down, and the drummer started up. The beat was infectious, taking
over her heart until she was sure the muscle was keeping the same
rhythm.
The crowd
roared again, thrusting their hands up into the air as two guitars
joined the drummer. Her nipples puckered again, her memory offering up
an image of Syon arching back as he played those final chords.
It was like he was pushing the music out of himself, almost as if he
were giving birth.
On stage, he was just as raw.
Syon took command of the space completely. The audience ate him up.
And were they screaming.
Syon worked them just as skillfully as he did his guitar. He really was
lord of all he surveyed. Kate discovered herself leaning forward, being
drawn toward the spellbinding energy
pulsing on the stage. Sitting still was impossible; her body wanted to
move in time with the notes Syon was wringing out of his instrument. She
became fixated on his hands; the way he worked his fingers was
downright dominant.
Her teeth were clenched by the time the last song finished, she was panting softly and felt wrung out.
But
it was fucking wonderful. She was drifting on a high and collapsed back
into her padded chair, her composure scattered around her like fall
leaves. She felt spent but amped up at the same time.
Fangirls were definitely climbing the respect ladder in her book.
Okay, so
she was drooling over a rock star like some high schooler, but at least
B.O.B.—her battery-operated boyfriend —was waiting for her at home. All
in all, the buzz was worth the slightly stinging blow to
her pride, because in some corner of her mind, she believed she should
be grown-up enough to realize fantasies weren’t mature. So
disappointment wouldn’t stalk her in the wee hours of the night.
A hollow feeling in her gut warned her she was hoping in vain.
As
Syon and the rest of the band left the stage, Kate indulged herself in a
long moment of reflection. Syon had worked that guitar until it wailed.
He had to be hell in bed if he applied even half that effort
to pleasing his partner.
“So, what’d you think?”
She
jumped, grabbing the armrests of the movie theater-style chair. Her
eyes popped open wide, and her belly did a triple flip when she found
Syon watching her.
“Ah…” Her
tongue suddenly felt like a wad of cotton in her mouth as she scrambled
to stand up and turn around to face him. “It was fantastic…”
He grinned at her, a huge, arrogantly pleased expression that showed off his perfect teeth.
God, she wondered if he knew how to bite…

Sexiest Rock Stars (And What Makes Them So Hot!) with Dawn Ryder
Rock Stars…some are just lick-able….
Let’s
face it, there is something about a man in leather, who can bring a
stadium to its feet. I know there are all sorts of different music out
there but heavy metal in all its formats has a certain, gut-wrenching
appeal that just gets
girls wanting to squeal. So here’s one of my favorites:
Tim
McGraw – Fine, he isn’t a heavy metal musician, but he is absolutely
lick-able. There are a lot of reasons that I find this man fascinating,
one of which is his music writing range. Everything from songs about
‘being a bad boy but a
real good man’ to something soul wrenching like ‘Live like you were
dying.’ The music moves something inside me and that was exactly what I
wanted to come across in this book,
Rock Me Two Times. I wanted to take readers to the person behind
the fame, the one that struggles with self-esteem like every one of
their fans and also has to contend with the fact that because they are
at the top, they know everyone is going to judge
what they come out with next. Sure, I wanted Syon to be a strong hero
type, but I also wanted the reader to see that he had a need for a soul
mate too.
There
are so many types of passion, and music is one that the world stops and
listens to. If I’m lucky, someday, one of my books will captivate a
reader just as completely as some of the great songs out there that
everyone knows.
