Take Me Home Tonight - Cover


A rocker gets a taste of unexpected passion in the latest red-hot Rock Star Romance from the award-winning author of I Want You to Want Me.

Calix Bourbon might seem like a free spirit, but that’s all a front. In reality he’s just trying to keep his fractured family together while working as a session musician. When Blue Fire hires him to replace their keyboardist, Calix is determined to make the most of the opportunity—but he can’t help being distracted by the band’s sexy personal chef.

Mimi’s temporary gig is great, but she has her heart set on auditioning for a televised cooking show. There’s just one problem: she only has a week to acquire the skills necessary to survive the competition. Luckily, the band’s new keyboard player can teach her exactly what she needs, in the kitchen and in the bedroom…

She started to pull away from him, but the loss of her touch made him tighten his grip. When he didn’t let go, she lifted her head to look at him.
They’d never been this close. Close enough to see the pale nick of a scar right at her cheek bone, that expressive mouth, and the question in her eyes. Need burned through him, sending electrical impulses down his spine and through his dick. He needed her bare, warm skin against his. Needed the wet heat of her mouth, the slick tangle of her tongue. He needed…oh, fuck him.
His mouth settled over hers, and sparks fired in his blood. Her body turned toward him, fingers gripping the back of his shirt. The hunger took over, and he swept his tongue across her lips, licking inside her mouth. 
With a sharp intake of breath, she was kissing him back. And, holy fuck, this wasn’t some gentle exploration. This was mouth-fucking.
She clutched the back of his neck, her tongue stroking his, and raw desire streaked though him, setting him on fire.
Keeping his arm firmly around her waist, he set her down. But if she thought he was letting her go—not a chance. He just repositioned her so he could lift her against the wall and spread those legs around his hips. Nothing could stop his body from pressing into her and taking that mouth he’d fantasized about for months.
Her tits, her hands, the way she writhed against him, made him frenzied. “Jesus, Mimi.” And then she was making noises, hot, hungry purrs deep in her throat. He ground his cock against her stomach. Heat blistered through him.
“God.” The back of her head hit the wall, and she fought to pull her legs out of his grip.
It took him a moment to shift gears, but he slowly lowered her to the floor. She looked as shaken as he felt. His knees barely supported him, so he braced both arms against the wall to hold himself up. 
He needed a moment to cool down. Jesus, he’d never had a kiss like that.

I Want You to Want Me (Rock Star Romance #2) by Erika Kelly





Derek Valencia finally has the success he’s worked so hard for. His band is touring its debut album and great reviews are rolling in. But when pictures of him tossing naked groupies off a balcony go viral, it’s damage-control time. He’s assigned a “babysitter” whose sole job is to keep him out of trouble.

Violet Davis swore she’d never work in the music industry again, but being a minder for a rock star will earn her enough to pay off the mortgage on her wildflower farm. And for a girl brought up in the foster care system, owning her own home means more to her than anything.

Though at first the two bang heads, the rocker and the farm girl soon grow close and realize that they make sweet music together. But can a girl who craves the stability of life on a farm really make it work with a man whose life is spent on the road with his band?





One thing that stood out to me about this book was how sweet Derek was. Derek wasn't the typical rocker. He wasn't a man who would party and do drugs. Derek was a genuine guy who always wanted what was best for his band. I really admired Derek's character in that sense. He was also extremely swoon worthy, which made me happy. 

I liked the main character, Violet. She was a very kind person who never let other people crush her spirits. Violet was very tough, and I enjoyed that about her character. She took a long time to open up to Derek, and I appreciated that. I thought that helped the romance develop at a natural pace. However, sometimes her fears irritated me because she would keep secrets from Derek. I understood that she was scared, but at that point, she should have been able to trust Derek. I felt like a lot of the unnecessary drama could have been cut out if Violet would have had better communication skills. I just wanted to slap some sense into Violet. 

One of the things I didn't like in the book was how Violet came to work for Derek's band. It just seemed so unrealistic that it was hard for me to accept it. Due to that, it took me a little while to get into this book. Also, at some points in the book, I felt like the story dragged a little bit. However, I still enjoyed the book. What I enjoyed the most in the book was the romance. I thought the romance was very cute and steamy at the same time. Erika definitely knew how to make me swoon!

I read this book as a stand-alone, and I do think it could be easily read as a stand-alone. The previous book was referenced, but it was easy to understand what was happening. I did not have a hard time just jumping right into this book. I am looking forward to seeing what the next book has in store.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a sweet and fun romance with some hunky rockers.
