rock courtshipRowena’s review of Rock Courtship (Rock Kiss #1.5) by Nalini Singh.

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s new contemporary romance novella is pure hard rock and scorching heat…

What happens when the Gentleman of Rock decides to play dirty?

A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band’s publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.

Only problem is, Thea doesn’t date clients–or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she’s not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.

What she doesn’t know is that David is a one-woman man…and he’s madly in love with her. David’s determined to prove he’s worth the risk, and willing to court her, step by exquisite step. Thea’s about to discover just how long and hard this handsome drummer can play.

I really liked reading Rock Addiction, the first book in this series so I knew I was going to like this one as well. I just wasn’t prepared for how much.

David Rivera is the drummer for School Boy Choir and he’s known in the media as The Gentleman of Rock. He’s the band member who is always well dressed and never gives Thea, the band’s publicist, reason to stress. But then he asked her out and she rejected him and he goes out for a walk and ends up in jail.

Oh man, this was such a cute read. I loved David and I really liked Thea. I thought they were great together because those memos? Holy hot damn! I LOVED that David made Thea fall for him with his words. I loved that he took the time to woo her with words and with small gestures that really showed how much he liked her.

I also really liked that even though this was such a short story, it didn’t feel like it. Singh really shined in bringing David and Thea to life and telling their story in a way that wrapped you right up in the warmth of their feelings for each other. We see them come together, we see the anticipation of finally seeing each other and we even get some conflict to further their story along and really, I just loved it all. Singh gave us a lot in this short story and yet, it never once felt too crowded or rushed. Their story was just right and I definitely recommend it.

Grade: 4 out of 5
