Erwachseneninhalt
A HEA standalone contemporary spicy romance novel: 

Meredith Gellar is neurodivergent musician, but not talented when it comes to her fellow humans. Finding bandmembers to perform with was as easy as keeping everyone else at arm's length. It was easier still to lose herself in solitary hobbies but, nothing is simple about falling in love. 

A chance meeting--on the set of a London talk show--with a broodingly sexy actor overlaps her well-ordered world with his chaotic shadow of Fame, like an overarching Venn diagram. His enticing company comes laden with more risk than Merdith has ever faced. 

Can she learn to navigate Fame, Love and heartbreak--without losing herself in the process--or, do stars really shine brightest as they fall?

Notes: rated MA for sexual content, graphic language, drug references, alcohol use and references and intense situations. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to public figures and/ or celebrity figures is purely coincidental.

Those last words even shock me, this isn't anything I have done before but she makes me want it. Her breath hitches and her legs seem to clench together. Holy shit!

Sorry, I m not your fangirl! von Readers_Journey
30 Kapitel Abgeschlossene Geschichte
He's rich, famous, and disgustingly handsome. Also allergic to girls. Especially the clingy, squeaky, fainting kind. Too bad I'm not one of them. I accidentally (okay, not accidentally) insulted Zayn Raheja-the country's most loved heartthrob with those cursed heterochromia eyes. The man whose smirk makes fangirls lose brain cells. Zayn Raheja, Superstar. Billionaire. Heartthrob. One smirk from him and girls forget how to breathe. Too bad I've got better things to do-like sleep. But instead of hating me... He's obsessed. Which is ironic. Because I've been ignoring boys since third grade. And I've never met someone who made it so easy. He's cold, rude, and 100% not my type. So, why is he staring at me like I'm the only puzzle he can't solve? Oops. Plot twist: He fell first. And harder. He's used to girls chasing him. I'm used to avoiding trash. So, no thanks. Our first meeting? He blocked the hallway like he owned oxygen. I told him to move. Politely. (Okay, not politely.) Now he can't stop looking at me like I'm a Rubik's cube he can't solve. And I can't stop wondering why this Greek god keeps showing up where I am. I'm not one of his fangirls. I don't faint, I roast. He should've hated me. Instead... He fell. 💌 Tropes: Enemies-to-Lovers He Fell First Sarcastic Girl × Cold Boy Fangirls Everywhere Except Her Slow Burn, Fast Roasts Rich × Normal Girl Forced Proximity (Eventually!) Celebrity × Civilian Misunderstandings & Mutual Pining Soft Boy Under Layers of Ice He Fell First (and hates it) Not Like Other Girls (literally doesn't care) Banter-to-Love Rich Famous Boy × Normal Sarcastic Girl "I hate girls" × "Cool, I'm not one of them" Enemies-to-Lovers (but she's not even trying) Fangirl-Proof Heroine Emotionally Constipated Boy Hard. And first.

Samantha Morris never imagined her path would cross with Raymond Lawrence, the charismatic lead singer of a rock band on the brink of international fame. But one chance encounter ignites a fiery connection that neither can deny. Ray's love for music was everything to him, he was willing to sacrifice all to reach the top.

As Sam wrestles with her own struggles-grief, family secrets, and a newborn career, Ray is fighting his own battles under the glaring lights of stardom. The pressures of fame push them closer together but also threaten to tear them apart. Love was supposed to be enough. But in a world of relentless demands, unspoken fears, and buried truths, Sam and Ray must decide how much they're willing to risk and how far they'll go to hold on to each other.

Second Chance at Love Vol. I Rocker Girl Series von Jennbyars
18 Kapitel Abgeschlossene Geschichte Erwachseneninhalt
Beautiful, elegant, and intelligent, Addison Reade gave up her dreams of being a doctor long ago when she married James Richardson, the lead singer for the world-famous rock band Death Ever After. Instead, she immersed herself in her husband's career and the band's dream of making music. At the same time, she starts her own band, aptly named Spitfire. Unfortunately, years of touring and fame change the Jimmy that Addison once knew. Now only women, drugs, and alcohol consume his world. It is only after Addison serves him with divorce papers that the abuse starts. Like the flip of a switch, the man she once loved becomes a complete stranger to her. When she lands in the hospital after one of Jimmy's rages, she and her Spitfire bandmates decided to hit the road and run away, leaving behind her ex-husband and the out-of-control lifestyle that followed Death Ever After like a plague. It is a stark change moving from California to Ohio, but Addison does so because here she can once again pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. She and her band also find an amazing gig at Tab, one of Cleveland's hottest clubs. Still trying to get over everything that has happened in her life, the last thing Addison needs is to fall in love again. All she wants is to become a doctor, build her medical career, and settle into a world far from the craziness of her past life. That's when she meets Winston Mallory.

▶ Kiana: For the past handful of years, hiding behind anonymous words suited me just fine. I could twist them, expressing myself, and know that people found something of themselves when they were sung. But anonymity is no longer possible. As much as I want to, I can't keep my head buried in the sand and ignore everything around me. Ignore the past and its importance. I'm stepping out of the shadows, in part because I don't have a choice. The other part, though... Because I want to take the plunge and see what's on the other side. Most of all, find my heart again and get things right this time around. However, it's soon apparent that not everyone is in agreement with this new development. I guess I'll see just how many potholes I'll find during this journey. ▶ Duncan: Most people think I have everything I want. Most people also don't know the first thing about me, just what's out there, what I allow them to know. They don't know that fame and money means nothing without the family I've made. The family that's been incomplete for years. However... It doesn't mean I'm a happy camper when that changes, when the missing piece appears out of nowhere. First, because it forces me to face all the feelings, good and bad, that I've tried to push down. Second, because she's not quite the same... But that's okay. And third, because someone thinks they can mess with her, with us. In the end of the day, there's one thing that's as sure as the sun rising every morning: nothing and no one is stepping between me and Kiana this time. Not on my watch. 🏆300 × Adult × 11/17/20 🏆67 × Romantic Suspense × 11/30/2020 Book one in the Toxic Climax series. Dual POV, second-chance love story. 5k-word chapters on Fridays. Please note: Toxic Climax is just the name of the band. Warning: strong language (a lot), sex (some) and violence (uh... some as well).

Fallen Too Deep von PrettyLiars123
69 Kapitel Abgeschlossene Geschichte Erwachseneninhalt
MATURE CONTENT Enter at your own risk.... "I'm not expecting declarations of love, nor anything much, really. Hell, I don't even know if I want a relationship. But I can't deny that I want you. Really bad." I admitted it for the first time aloud. "I think it's pretty out there that we want each other, don't you?" A teasing grin played about his lips. "So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway. Setting up her cousin/roommate, Kristina Vincenti, with Isaac Mulvaney turned out to be a little more complicated since she can't seem to get his best friend, Nathan Stone, out of her mind. He's sexy, he's sweet -- only to her --, he also just wants to be her friend. Until they realize they want each other, and begin the unhealthy relationship of a friends with benefits. The real question is: can Sofia really keep her heart out of it, or has she fallen too deep?
