My Review (SPOILERS):

I highly recommend this series if you love compelling characters with great storylines and hot sexy descriptive sex scenes!

In Backstage Pass we find out that Sed the Sinners sexy lead singer is into threesomes and stealing his bandmate guitarist Brian's girlfriends.  In Rock Hard we find out why his heart was broken two years ago by the only women he ever loved Jessica Chase.

At the beginning of the book Sed and Jessica are engaged and she has been accepted into Law School.  But Sed doesn't support her dreams of becoming a lawyer and forbids her to go so she leaves him.

Two years later she is into her fourth year of Law School but her instructor fails her and she has to take the class all over again.  Her best friend Beth gets her a job as a stripper. The instructor hates her with a passion because she thinks she gets too much of the male attention.

That night Sed and the rest of the Sinners happen to go visit that same strip club where Jessica is working for Brian's bachelor party.  When Sid realizes it's Jessica on stage he drags off and covers her up which causes a riot and they are kicked out but not before getting hurt themselves.  Brian gets two black eyes, Trey is hit in the head by an aluminium bat and Sid has his throat bruised and almost crushed.

When Sid finds out that Jessica needs money he leaves it with her friend another stripper.  She doesn't want it and thinks he's controlling her again.  She finds out where they are living and decides to give back the money to Sid.  Myrna sees her and offers her a job as her assistant which she accepts.  Sid comes in with three fangirls and is really surprised to see Jessica but that doesn't stop him from having a threesome.  She becomes jealous and yanks them off of Sid and then they have wild mad sex.  Both of them decide to enjoy each other for two months with sex but not have a relationship.  Let the fun and games begin.

Sed feels very responsible for his Sinner family and would do anything for them and can come on strong and overbearing and arrogant.  But he also has a softer side too which he shows in Rock Hard.

By the end of the book I really believed that Sed had redeemed himself and he seemed really whipped.

Jessica is independent, intelligent, attractive and very ambitious women.  She has a bad temper to go with her sensual aura which she doesn't know she has.  I didn't feel that Jessica redeemed herself by the end of the book.

They have a very volatile relationship and it was quite obvious they still loved each other, though they don't really know each other.  They both have voracious sexual appetites and being daring.

Wow the sex scenes were really hot and explicitly described (man I had to cool myself down with a fan and cool water)!  I recommend reading the part in the restaurant (wink wink)!

Trey also has a very interesting storyline which Sed and Jessica are a part of!

4.5/5
