http://www.tastybooktours.com/2014/11/bolt-from-blue-oblivion-on-tour-2-by_30.html



Blurb



Nikki’s the flamboyant rhythm guitarist of the hard rock band Oblivion. He’s a sexy rock star man-whore who’s accustomed to a life of music, partying and a constant stream of girls that are ready, willing and able! 



Trixie’s a feisty party girl who likes to have fun. She makes the most of her single lifestyle and happy-go-lucky attitude. But she’s also a hard-nosed business women who knows what she wants and goes out and gets it. She lives her life by the motto ‘Work hard. Play hard’.



Neither of them ‘do relationships’. But when their frequent hook-ups start to develop into something more they realize that the connection and pull between them is undeniable. The prospect of wanting more than just mind-blowing sex from each other is a total shock to both of them and it hits them like a bolt from the blue. 



Can they change their partying ways and give in to the irresistible chemistry that sizzles between them? Do they even want to? And will their past catch up with them to prevent them from giving the whole relationship thing a proper try?

Excerpt:

“I presume it’s okay with everyone if I just hang around here with you guys for a couple of days.”

Everyone responds with a “No problem.”  I look across to Nikki and say, “Don’t worry rock star, I won’t cramp your style. I know where we stand. I won’t get all jealous if you hook up with groupies or whatever.”
Nikki looks at me, frowns angrily and mumbles back, “Trix, I know we’re not serious, but why the hell would I want to hook up with some random groupie when you’re here?”
“Oh I don’t know, I just don’t want you to feel that you’re obligated to me at all. I’m here visiting Eve and I’m just going to hang-out and have some fun. I don’t want you to think I’m here just to see you.”
As soon as I hear it coming out of my mouth I know it sounds really harsh.
Hansen chuckles, “Fuck that stings.”
As I look around the room the other guys all have raised eyebrows and cringes on their faces. I look at Nikki who just looks totally pissed.
Me and Nikki are moving way too quickly. I can feel myself getting too attached and that shit needs to stop now. This thing between us has supposed to be just a hook-up, nothing serious, just fun.
Nikki shakes his head, gets up and skulks off towards one of the bedrooms shutting the door behind him. Shit, what the hell! Now I’ve hurt his feelings? 
Eve frowns at me and shakes her head with a scolding look on her face. The rest of the guys look a bit shocked and are glancing between each other awkwardly.
 “What?” I screech. “This is ridiculous. Y’all are looking at me as if I’ve kicked a puppy or something.”
I hear Cody mumble, “Only if the puppy’s got black floppy hair, big brown eyes and its name is Nikki.”
I mutter under my breath, “Shit.”
There are a few minutes of awkward near-silence then everyone starts to chat casually again. After about half an hour Nikki comes back in and slinks down into a seat on the opposite side of the room to me, completely avoiding eye contact. Hell, this is precisely the reason why I said we should keep it casual, now it’s just awkward.
After a while Scott says his goodnights and heads off to his room. Hansen gets up and raises his chin to Cody. “Come on Sticks, let’s go out and find a club or something. I have a hankering for some loud music, whisky and loose women.”
Cody gets up and claps his hands enthusiastically, “Sounds like a fucking brilliant idea. This shit’s getting a bit too heavy and domesticated for my taste.”
Cody and Hansen head towards the door. Nikki jumps up and glances quickly at me, but avoids eye contact. “Hold up guys, I’m comin’ too. I could do with a bit of fun.” All three of them head out the door.
Alrighty then!  I guess I’ve been well and truly put in my place. Eve looks at me with a ‘you-brought-this-on-yourself’ smirk as she shrugs her shoulders. Ash looks at me with pity.
Before this gets really awkward I jump up and put on a fake smile. “Right, I might just head down to the bar for a while to have some fun of my own. Don’t you kids stay up waiting for me.”  I quickly grab my handbag, touch up my make-up and hair in the large mirror by the front door and head out of the suite.



The first thing you need to know about me is that I genuinely believe in true love and soul mates. I met my wonderful husband when we were still at school. I was sixteen, he was seventeen, we are high school sweethearts. Now more than twenty five years later, we are still very much in love and are happily married with two beautiful children. We live in picturesque New Zealand and I consider ourselves lucky to live in this magnificent part of the world.

I do have a full time job, but in my spare minutes I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and reading. I’m an avid reader and tend to chomp through a large volume of books, mainly in the romance genre. And of course my other major ‘hobby’ is writing steamy rock star erotic romances!

I started writing in early 2014. After spending many years writing business documentation, and constantly being inspired by numerous romance novels, I decided to try my hand at fictional writing. After penning my first scene I discovered that I enjoyed it immensely and so resolved to continue with the rest of the story that was swirling in my imagination. That story resulted in my first novel, Heaven Sent. 



My Thoughts:

This is the second book in the Oblivion On Tour series. It stands alone very well so you could easily skip the first book, Heaven Sent, and dive right into this book.

The heroine is Trixie. She owns a popular club in LA and has a constant string of hookups while avoiding relationships.

Nikki is the leading man and he is a member of Oblivion a popular rock band. He has an aversion to relationships as well and has groupies and willing fans throwing themselves at him on a nightly basis.

These two are drawn to each other from the get go.....

This book was extremely sexy. Some scenes brought out my emotions too.

The dirty talk from Nikki was scorching and I would be shocked if anyone could read this and remain unaffected.

I was attached to my Kindle and intent on the book until I read the last word. Then I was wishing for more. ;-) 

I'll be waiting to see which member will be the highlight of the next book though I have my suspicions.

If you like music, romance, some suspense  and stubborn people who think relationships are not for them, you'll want to read this one!

I received an ecopy in exchange for my honest opinion. Yowza!
