Jenn: “This cover is perfect for Jake--right down to the biker-inspired smoky blue flame background behind the title. It really shows that Jake and Anna's adventure will be quite a ride!”
As her sizzling
new series continues, Jennifer Chance sparks some serious combustion between a
sexy biker and a corporate go-getter who’s ready to let her hair down.
New grad Anna Richardson
works hard—so hard that she’s given up having a romantic life. Anna has even
convinced her friends that she’s dating an amazing guy—who they’ve simply never
met. But now Anna has a wedding to attend and needs to produce the hottie she’s
been lying about for the past six months. Enter Jake Flynn, her infuriating,
motorcycle-riding, jaw-droppingly gorgeous neighbor, who’s more than willing to
fake it for a weekend. In fact, Jake won’t be satisfied until things get real.
Though Jake is only
playing the role of adoring boyfriend, he’s starting to feel the heat, and
judging by Anna’s sweet blush, so is she. Letting chemistry this intense go to
waste would be a real shame. Soon, though, the thin line between fantasy and
reality fades. Jake may not be what every buttoned-up fast-tracker wants, but
he’s sure as hell what Anna needs. And if she takes a ride with him, their
adventure never has to end.
TEASER REVEAL!
“Jake, the wedding would completely suck
for you,” Anna protested. “My ex is a nightmare and you would hate all of my
friends. You would think the whole thing is ridiculous—because it is.” He just
watched her, maddeningly, his smile curving as she tried to sputter out her
refusals. “You don’t want to do this. Trust me.”
“I just said I did.”
“But . . . you can’t
. . . you wouldn’t . . .” Anna stopped, flustered. What was
happening here? Was she actually turning down a viable date? “There’s so much
you would have to memorize about Dave. There’s no way you’re going to want to
do that.”
Jake just lifted his brows. “You know,
for someone who’s just met me, you seem to know a lot about what I would and
wouldn’t want to do.”
“I don’t! I mean, I can guess. But I just
. . . can’t.” Anna swallowed. “Look, I appreciate it. If I strike out
tonight, I’ll call you. How about that?”
“That sounds good.” Jake signaled to the
bartender. “So I guess I should make sure you have my number, then.”
“Oh, well yes. I guess. Or, you know, I
could just—” Before Anna could complete the sentence, Jake had a pen in his
fingers. They were both leaning on the bar, their faces inches apart. He tipped
the pen to its side, sliding its base alongside her jaw. The cool metal on her
flushed skin startled her, and Anna’s gaze jumped to his. The challenge in his
eyes was unmistakable.
“Hold out your hand, Anna,” he said, as
if they weren’t in the middle of a crowded bar, in front of everyone.
“That’s not necessary,” she said quickly.
“I have other people’s cards—you can just use—just write on one of those.”
His gaze grew hotter, more intense.
“That’s no good,” he said. “You might lose it.”
Anna hesitated, then something was
triggered deep inside her, and she felt a dangerous flicker of pleasure. She
knew that flicker, remembered it from somewhere, even as life and work and
responsibility had taught her to keep it doused, out of commission. It had been
a long time since she’d let that fire burn.
But now Jake Flynn was positioned in
front of her with gasoline and a blowtorch.
Someone cleared his throat beside them,
and a disgruntled voice rang out. “Excuse me, I’m Gary, and your friend Lacey—”
“Take off, Gary,” Jake said without
turning around. His gaze held hers. “Anna?”
Anna held out her hand, and Jake held her
arm steady, cradling it with his fingers. Sensation rocketed through her at the
intimate touch, intensifying sharply as she felt the smooth slide of ink on her
skin. He wrote slowly, sensually, the pen tracing wickedly silken lines on the
hypersensitive skin on the inside of her wrist, all the way down until he
reached her palm. By the time he was finished, Anna was amazed she was still
conscious. Then he glanced at her.
“Think
it’s dry? Or should I blow on it?”

MY REVIEW FOR BOOK #1 - ROCK IT
About the story:
Lacey is 22 years old. She's been in love/lust with pop/rock-star Dante Falcone forever! But he doesn't know that of course.
But now her chance is finally here. She's working for the agency that represents Dante from now on and kind of accidentally she ends up being his 'manager' for the next two weeks ☺
Dante immediately sees something in Lacey when they meet for the first time. He can feel that she sees the real him. Not the person all his fans see.
And she does. She's had 8 years of collecting everything about him. Every last scrap of information.
Which is a tiny bit stalkerish ☺
Then there's the intense attraction they both feel. OK, Lacey always knew that he was SEXY HOT - but now that he's in the same room with her it's - WHOA !!
Instant mental Orgasms ☺☺☺
Dante hasn't been real happy with his life for a while now - and he's only 24!! He's been in this business since he was 14 years old!!
Now he's looking for more - a different kind of music, a different kind of girl - not those groupies he could have every second of every day. He just wants more - he wants his life to be different.
Mid-life-crisis at age 24??? ☺
Enter Lacey ☺
She brings all kinds of complications into his life.
But Dante wants to see where this thing with Lacey could go.
And Lacey has to decide if this could be the real thing - or if it's just this silly left-over teenie-infatuation with a rock star....
And then there's her beloved job on the line too....
what will she do?
What will happen???☺☺☺
I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT OF COURSE... ☺
I don't want to spoil your reading pleasure ☺

I REALLY LOVED THE BOOK!!!
After finishing my review I read a few reviews on Goodreads - and I had to come back here to add this - I don't know why people are so critical about this book - yes there were some things that were a bit weird - but it was a great story!!!! o.O
BUT ... maybe it's just me...
Give a Navy SEAL or a Rock Star - and I'm TOTALLY FANGIRLING ☺☺☺
But I really don't think this book was bad??!?!
I really loved it.
I loved Dante - what's not to love about a sexy, sweet, RockStar without any of the horrible RockStar issues ☺
The story was the kind of fairy tale story every fan-girl dreams about!!
You're a fan of this guy and you work your way up to finally get close to him and then he falls in love with you??? Even though, or maybe because you're his biggest fan. You understand him - the real him!
Ugh - I sooo want to be Lacey!!! ☺
I really loved the sexiness of the book.
We don't have SEX all the time - totally unlike a Rockstar ☺
But they're really trying to start slow - but still very sexy!!!
I would've loved a bit more SEX ;)))
The only things that bothered me a bit...
first - this 'thing' they do towards the 70% mark of the book - I totally didn't understand what they were doing??? I got it then finally AFTER the fact - but while they were explaining it - to me - the reader - I didn't understand where they were going with it :( Might have been a bit too complicated for me...
Then the thing that I wish was different...
I wish the book had another 100 pages!
It feels like the editor made Jennnifer take out sooo many details.
This could have been an epic Rock-Star Erotic Romance - but there are just too many things missing.
That's how it felt to me at least.
I wanted to know soooo much more about Dante & Lacey's life - their history - their future - their feelings.
It's kind of like this insta-love thing that happens here....it's all a bit quick ☺
But that doesn't change the fact that I loved this book!!!!
If you like sexy New Adult romances with a HOT Rock-Star ----->>>
GO AND BUY THE BOOK ☺
I'm really looking forward to reading the other books in the series☺

About Jennnifer
(stolen from her homepage☺)
I come by romance honestly, having spent several years writing adult romance and entering romance contests through Romance Writers of America–including finaling twice in the prestigious Golden Heart contest and winning once. But despite these and other contest wins, my first published novel came not in adult romance, but as a writer of YA historical fiction (you can read all about my Elizabethan spy girls stories, the Maids of Honor, here.)
Still, despite my love of Elizabethan spies, I could never quite give up those super Alpha contemporary romance heroes. So, in the summer of 2013, I decided to see if perhaps I might still have a romance or two up my sleeve.
I wrote a tale about a girl whose biggest high-school and college crush–a rock star–suddenly becomes her biggest client, only now she has to be professional and not betray the fact that she’s completely in love with the guy. It was a fun, sexy, romantic fantasy, and I suggested the idea to my agent… who asked what other ideas I had in addition to this story. Shortly after, the Rule Breakers series was born.
To separate these books from my historical work, I adopted the name Jennifer Chance. I am now pursuing my dreams (pretty much round the clock as it turns out) and am THRILLED to be able to have four e-books coming out in 2014 and early 2015, all with Random House LoveSwept’s New Adult romance line.
As to what will happen from here, who knows? But as long as there is a story to be written and an HEA to be had, I’ll be the one over in the corner, tapping away on my keyboard.
