This isn’t who I am…

I’ve never been what you considered the take-home-to-your-mama type. F*ck, I usually don’t even stick around past the next morning. For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived by no one’s rules but my own. On the edge of destruction, my life has been an obscure, drug-induced haze of hard partying, random groupies, and Metal.

Now, there’s Lace.

Ever since I saw her uptight ass, I’ve wanted to pound the prude right out of her. She was just supposed to be a fun lay. Now, she’s turning my world on its ass.

What the f*ck is wrong with me?

Whatever it is, she’s making me want things, different from what I’ve had, different from what I thought I wanted. Thing is…I’m not sure if I’m ok with that.

Find out what happens when Gunnar Haze, rock god, meets Lacey, a music critic with a broken heart and an eye for bad boys. With the type of heat that will melt your panties right off, opposites will attract and collide.

✦✦✦✦✦✦ Kim's 4 Star Review ✦✦✦✦✦✦

Anarchy Reigns frontman Gunnar Haze is used to getting what he wants, when he wants. He lives a life with no rules and has no plans of stopping it any time soon. That was until a review by L. Cummings in Rocked Candy Review ripped them apart. When Gunnar went to confront the writer and have them retract the review he didn’t expect that writer be a woman or that she’s make him want things he’s never wanted before. Lacey Cummings never thought her review of the metal band Anarchy Reigns would have caused an issue that she would have to spend time with frontman Gunnar Haze and the rest of the band as they end their current tour and she writes a new review. Will Lacey be able to resist the charms of Gunnar Haze or will she end her career with the new review?

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lacey has always done what was expected of her. She was set to marry the perfect man and have the life her mother planned for her. This wasn’t what Lacey wanted and she didn’t love her now ex-fiancé Holden. When Gunnar walked into her office, she felt things she never felt before. Lacey always saw herself as a strong independent woman who took care of herself but when her mother showed up she couldn’t find a way to tell her how she really felt.

Gunnar had a troubled childhood but when he made it big with the band he never looked back. Gunnar is a man who loves to live life to the fullest and doesn’t care about the rules. He’s the rock star every girl wants and he knows it. This alpha male prides himself at being able to let loose and get whatever he wants. Never being in a real relationship has kept people at a distant. Now that Lacey is with him on tour he can’t seem to get back to the way things were before he met her.

This is the first book by Lena Black that I’ve read and I was hooked before the first chapter ended. Gunnar is a complex character that you can’t decide if you love or hate him. He does things that upsets Lacey and you feel the same but them he does a 180 turn and he’d be the sweetest guy you’ve ever read about. Lacey may be a girl who grew up in a privileged life but she isn’t anything like the people she was around growing up. Lacey’s mom has certain expectations for her daughter but Lacey knows what she wants but has trouble voicing them. Gunnar is a good influence on Lacey as she is finally able to let go and experience life the way she has always wanted.

I loved the flow of the book and the fact that I wasn’t able to predict what either character would do next. I’m a sucker for rock star books and Lena surpassed any expectation I had when I first started reading the book. This is a great book and I would recommend it to any of my fellow readers.
