The Redemption
by S.L. Scott
a Rocker Romance
Synopsis:
He was everything she never wanted. Yet, she
couldn’t stop thinking about him.
Soulful, amber eyes
A sex, drugs, and rock n’roll reputation
Three years ago Rochelle Floros was living her dream come true… then
lost it all. On the worst day of her life, the last person she
expected to be there for her was a rock star and tabloid favorite. Now, she’s
trying to rebuild her life after the tragedy that destroyed her fairytale. Slowly,
she found herself captivated by a sexy, bad boy drummer she had known for
years.
Rochelle was caught between the grief that shrouded her heart and
the charismatic man that made it race. What she didn’t know is if he was being
sincere or toying with her heart. The Redemption is about finding the pulse of
your soul in the most unlikely places and giving love a chance to grow.
Can what she wants really be what she needs? With
his rhythm and her passion, can they make music together? Or will their harmony
be lost forever?

EXCERPT
“Here’s the truth of the matter. If we do this... again, there’s no going back to square one tomorrow. Not for me. I won’t be able to act like I don’t care about you, like I haven’t thought about you every day since we were together last. So it’s easier to stop now than later.”
With a discouraged sigh, I say, “You’re stronger than me, Dex.”
“No, I just know my greatest weakness is the woman beneath me right now.” He rolls over sighing in a way that shows frustration has set in. Turning his head to me, he says, “I want to fuck you so bad, but I also want to do all that making love stuff too. And if we do that, I can’t pretend it didn’t happen.” He sits up and walks to the other side of the room, leaning his back against the wall.
I hear the door open as I fall back on the bed, my own sexual frustration setting in.
Review by pearls:
A different approach to the classic bad boy rocker genre. She's the widow of the band's lead guitarist. He's loved her from the day they met, but never acted upon it. Until now. With the shadow of the dead between them and the paparazzi swarming for a story, their relationship goes back and forth as they try to find a way through their feelings. I loved the glimpses of the romantic under Dex's exterior. His mother's secrets have warped his sense of self worth. As the band's business manager, Rochelle has not allowed herself to grieve, but their magical Peter & Wendy rendezvous allow her to feel again, letting herself start to live again. As such, they both save one another from a self destructive path. SL Scott shows us that there is life after a lost soulmate, and there is a place that each of can call home.
