Rocked...Twisted...

Rocked by Taryn Elliott and Cari Quinn and Twisted by the same

My rating (out of 5 stars):

3 stars—I liked it. (both books)
My Thoughts:

This is the first in the “Lost in Oblivion” series. I also read the second book—“Twisted.” Overall I like the characters in this series and I like the style, but  liked there were some flaws that turned me off.

There were actually too many sex scenes in Rocked. They were randomly thrown in and I got bored with it. Very unrealistic.

The authors build up a scene and then just stop. For instance there is a scene where the female character is nervous about a party, shops for the party, gets dressed for the party…and then strangely she only steps on the stairs to go to the party and then it flips to the next day. Why bring up the party and devote pages to preparing for it and then not show the reader the party?!

What’s with the installments of this series? 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5…that’s confusing. I decided to skip all the .5 increments because…just because it annoys me.

During “Rocked” I actually didn’t like the main characters too much—Deacon and Harper. I liked the characters that were going to be featured in “Twisted”—Gray and Jazz. I really loved their emotional connection through both books.

Description from Goodreads.com (For Rocked):

“Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she's offering on her serving plate.

As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He's far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.

Apron - and panties - optional.

When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can't walk away. Deacon's so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase...even if she's starting to think what she's building with him might be the biggest one of all.”
