Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh is your typical ‘opposites
attract’ story with an exciting twist of rock star meets librarian. Molly has spent her entire life trying to
stay out of the limelight, but when Zachary Fox, lead singer for the band Schoolboy Choir, sets his sights on her
she finds herself powerless to resist his dirty words and charm.
Those who love
their men large and in charge will enjoy Fox’s bold personality and
unapologetic sexuality. He’s the rough
and tumble sort who enjoys being in control of every aspect of his life,
including his women. This isn’t an
erotic novel with whips and chains, however, so if you prefer your readings to
be something you can read in public without blushing too much then you’ve found your book.
Molly was a
tiny bit eye-rollingly naïve, but sometimes that’s what you’re craving out of
your characters. She’s incredibly insecure
and unexperienced, but understandably so given that she’s trying desperately
hard to forget a damaging experience from her past. Her insecurities get the best of her often
throughout the novel and, at times, it can get a little frustrating to watch
her talk herself in circles. Still, the
insecurities weren’t at all outside the realm of possibilities with someone as
sheltered as Molly. I only wished that
she might develop more of a healthy self-esteem as the story went forward,
which she eventually, sort of did. Maybe I've just been spoiled lately with strong, empowered women.
Rock Addiction was a very exciting read. It was a whirlwind of anticipation, emotions,
and drama and I took great pleasure from the experience. I kept thinking that the story would end—quite
possibly because the story moved wonderfully quickly—but to my delight it kept
going and going and going. It’s nearly
impossible to be bored reading about Fox and Molly. I think that anyone who loved their novels
fast-paced, intense, and filled with tattooed men will find Rock Addiction to be a thrilling read
for a cold, winter day.
Out now and freeeeeee on Amazon for Kindle. I'm not sure how long it'll last so don't delay!
