Izzy Stradlin gets struck by Cupid's arrow when he sees a gorgeous red head at his local coffee shop. What he doesn't know is that there's a catch to love at first sight: the girl is deaf, and has no idea who Izzy or Guns N Roses is. Not only is Izzy not used to having someone not know who he or his band is, but he has never had to chase after a woman before. Can he win her over, or will his words get lost in translation? Used to be titled "Lost in Translation", but I've decided to make it the first book in the "Count Your Stars" series. Enjoy! Rated R as always :) ~Completed~

Jen Kincaid becomes a cage dancer for Guns n' Roses at the offer of an Izzy Stradlin.

It's amazing how quickly perceptions can change. Melanie Buchanan was set in her ways believing that having a boyfriend was an unnecessary waste of time, that is of course until she took the job opportunity to film the next video clip for an up and coming hard rock band based in California; Guns N' Roses. Melanie happens to meet the quiet rhythm guitarist from the band, and she can't believe what she secretly feels deep down; could there possibly be sparks? Ridiculous. She assumes that this guitarist, Izzy Stradlin, is just your average bad boy who constantly takes dumb and dangerous risks, trying so hard to fit into that hard rocker cliché... but could she be wrong? Best rankings: #1 - gunsnroses #1 - izzystradlin #4 - destruction #4 - classicrock Disclaimer: I do not own Guns N' Roses or any of their songs. This story although based on real people, real events, and roughly follows an accurate timeline, is purely fictional. Rated: Mature - due to strong course language, sex, drug use and mature themes.

Hannah Maddison is normal girl with a normal boring life, that is, until she stumbles across the famous rock star, Izzy Stradlin.
