Rock Legend is a second chance, rockstar romance. I have to admit I didn't though I would find a perfect series after Kylie Scott's but here it come!I devoured Rock Legend and I love this series!

Piper and Landon met 6 years earlier when she was a college freshman and Landon wasn’t yet famous. Suddenly, he leaves without a word, but neither one of them got over each other. Even though she has worked for his band’s manager for 3 years, she managed to go undetected by him until the moment everything will change for both of them! The chemistry is stronger than ever and the passion!Piper and Landon take us on an emotional journey!

Seeing Piper again after all this time was all it took to strip away the elaborate pretense I fooled myself into believing- that I was doing fine without her.
I wasn’t.

Overall it was a great story, I'm looking forward for the next book!

Eeep! I'm the biggest rockstar romance fan ever!

And this was another very adorable and sexy and heartbreaking one!


A possible second chance at love and a happily ever after for our darling drummer Landon.

He's a bit of a manwhore. Just a lil' bit ;)

But Piper is the one that he let get away six years ago. And he regretted it ever since. Even though he knows that she's better off without him. Poor guy.

He has a lot of stuff to work through until he can ride off into his happy end sunset with Piper!

Piper has a lot to work and think through too.

And we adore (almost) every moment of that journey! ☺

A tiny little thing I didn't love-love? The book was basically done a little after the 50% mark. We could've stopped with a happy end. But then more things happen. They should've / could've happened a bit sooner, that way it wouldn't have divided the book into two halves. Now it's basically a 2-part book. Which was totally ok - I still loved the whole story and all the people in it! But it could've been done/written a tiny little bit differently.

But the book was a really great second-chance rock star romance with some very sad and moving and some sexy and adorable moments!!

And now I can't wait to see what Dax & Verity will have to tell us in their book!

Tara Leigh, you had me at rock star!

I am as big rock star book groupie, and couldn't get enough of Rock King, so diving in to Rock Legend was not rocket science.

In fact, I think I liked Rock Legend more than Rock King.

Landon and Piper's story is full of their history, their heartache, their regrets. All whilst trying to maybe/maybe not get back together.

Ugh, Landon is such a manwhorish douche at times, but you can feel his love for Piper fall off the page. I still wanted to slap him with my Kindle a lot of the time, however I couldn't help but adore him and all his issues.

Piper - girl, you rocked this thing. Don't you let him right back in there. Make him fight for you!

This book had two of my favourite things - rock stars and a second chance romance. Once I picked it up I couldn't stop reading it. I adored seeing more of Shane and Delaney and where they are at now.

Now I am impatiently waiting to see which Nothing But Trouble guy gets their story next.

**WILL BE POSTED ON BLOG SOON**

Wow!! I started reading this book with absolutely no expectations. I read the blurb, it sounded good so I dug in. I was blown away with how much I loved this incredible story. The characters are flawed, troubled, lovable, and completely intriguing. Piper and Landon have a history and it isn't something Piper wants to repeat. He shredded her heart once and she isn't about to give him a chance to do it again. Her job may have her dealing with him but that's as far as she's willing to let it go. Landon has other ideas. He knew walking away from her was a mistake and now he wants a second chance. What will it take for Piper to trust him again and is he really up for it?

I absolutely loved this book. Although it's the second in the series I read it with no problem not having read the prior book. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Love Rock Star Romances! This is the first story that I have read by Tara Leigh and it definitely will not be the last. Well written with great character development.
This is a second chance romance, and I loved learning about their past history and what happened between them. These two clash and it’s ridiculously fantastic! I enjoyed the animosity, their bickering and their chemistry immensely. But their is also a lot for them to work through, to heal their hearts. Is Love in the cards? You will have to read to find out.
Get ready for an emotional roller coaster, but also be ready for a whole lot of sweetness, and off the charts sexy in this Rock Star Romance.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thought and opinions are my own.

If you read Rock King, then you knew you were in for a really good book with Rock Legend. But I didn’t expect that Tara writing would bring tears to my eyes. Landon and Piper were together only for a couple of month’s six years ago before Landon just disappeared on Piper. Piper has spent the last few years trying to avoid Landon as much as possible. The hard part of that is she works for Nothing but Trouble manager and Landon is the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. So what will happen when Piper is told to babysit Landon?

Rock Legend is the perfect example of why I love second chance romances, the angst, the amazing sexy moments and all the emotions. This book will break your heart; glue it back together and just when you think it is together - BOOM! - It’s broken again in the most painful way. At this point, you throw the book at the wall because you think there is no way an HEA is coming. But don’t worried there is an HEA just might be a bump along the way.

Tara, you made me fall in love with Rock King, broke my heart with Rock Legend. I am afraid to see what you do to me with Rock Rebel.

I’m giving this book 5-stars. Let me tell you why.

I read Rock King and the author introduced me to Piper Hastings. She also gave me a brief glance at Landon Cox. Nothing but Trouble’s drummer with a reputation that was more infamous than the man. Rock Legend is Piper and Landon’s story.

Piper and Landon have a history that didn’t work out. She knew him before he became a rock star. She knew the real Landon Cox.

Both characters have baggage they hide from each other. But as always, the truth usually comes out at the worst time.

The sparks are still there between them. The author knows how to write some very sexy angst.

Good and bad things happen to both characters. One thing I want to point out is that Landon has some very bad habits. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so I’m leaving it at that.

There were many surprises that I didn’t see coming as I read the book. There were also a few times I wanted to throw my Kindle but didn’t. I continued reading, hoping that Piper and Landon would eventually get their HEA. But did they?

Overall, the book had an amazing storyline. I felt for each of the characters as I found out why they are the way they are today. Piper and Landon are good people who were dealt several bad hands in their lives.

If you love to read rock star romances with lots of angst and very hot sex, then I highly recommend you read Rock Legend. It was well-written with lots of heart.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Forever Yours for my unbiased opinion of the book. This is a story about Landon Cox, a bad boy turned drummer. Who six years ago had the best two months of his life with Piper Hastings when he was a nobody and fell off the face of the earth. Only to reemerge to become one of the greatest drummers of all time! It took Piper a long time to get over the breakup now works for the PR agency that the band and Landon are associated with. When Piper falls asleep unbeknownst to her, Landon's backstage dressing room after escorting her best friend and fellow bandmate girlfriend to tonight's concert. When Landon sees her sleeping all bets are off and realized that all the women he is been with since her pale in comparison. Will his past come back to haunt him, and will Piper be able to accept her past so that she can move forward and have a future? You will not be able to put this one down!!! I cannot wait to read the first one in the series. This is a stand-alone book. You do not want to miss this!!!!

Unresolved issues from the past, secrets, explosive chemistry and, of course, true love, combine for a great story that kept me hooked.

Landon, the hero, starts off as a stereotypical, rockstar manho of epic proportions, who is in a downhill mental spiral. “Poor me” is the tune he is singing, despite his musical fame and fortune. Upfront and center is his regret in losing Piper, the heroine, who he walked away from six years earlier. Waking up after an all too frequent, routine threesome wasn’t an opening act I wanted to witness, folks. You see, I’m just not a big fan of a man who impulsively indulges his every whim with random other women while supposedly pining for someone who he claims to love but dumped without saying goodbye.

Finding out Piper has secretly and silently had a front row seat to his bad boy party lifestyle was rough on my avid romantic heart. Him thinking he somehow deserved a ONS with her to get her out of his system once and for all, well, not cool, folks. His excuse for leaving her in the first place didn’t justify no contact or explanation whatsoever when he first left. He had a long time to try and make things right with her.

But, hey, it is what it is. I still couldn’t help but wish these two knuckleheads would get their second chance. But things continued to turn into one hot, complicated mess after another. The author definitely threw in some obstacles I didn’t see coming.

If you are into rock band romances and can overlook not that long ago manho behavior, you might want to consider this one. The writing did flow. Dax, the more of a loner/less of a womanizing manho, will get his HEA in the next book.

Title: Rock Legend, Series: Nothing But Trouble (Book 2), Author: Tara Leigh, Pages: 368, stand-alone but part of a series, second chance romance, huge former manho, not celibate during long previous separation, knucklehead decisions, very steamy, OM drama, no cheating, no love triangle, claims he has always missed her.

WOW!! I loved, loved, loved Rock Legend by Tara Leigh, book two in her Nothing But Trouble series. Ms. Leigh created a wonderful and emotional story between two people growing up with troubled pasts, one in foster care until adopted and the other feeling she needed to be perfect to be loved.

After a six year separation, Landon and Piper were given a second chance to repair what went wrong with their prior relationship. Landon needed to get his act together and control the sex, drugs and alcohol he used to disguise his loneliness and desire for Piper, before and after their run in at a Nothing But Trouble concert. He really needed to curb his self-destructive behavior and stop running away when things go wrong. Piper suffered from the perception that she had to be perfect to be worthy of love. What she learns is that no one is perfect and it’s okay to make mistakes and still be loved. Landon and Piper are truly a match made in heaven and hell as they lead one another on a roller coaster journey before being able to accept and give love.

Ms. Leigh wrote a wonderful and emotional story that drew me into her book and the lives of her characters, making me forget the world around me. I had trouble putting this book down, turning page after page, not letting go until I turned the last page, still wanting more and really looking forward to the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

***4.5 Stars***

Rock Legend is the second book in the Nothing But Trouble series and can be read as a standalone. After reading the first book in the series I was a little hesitant to request an arc of Rock Legend. Don't ask my why because honestly I haven't the slightest clue. I'm happy to have had the chance to read Rock Legend by Tara Leigh, Landon is by far my favorite character in the rock band Nothing But Trouble!

About Rock Legend:

This novel deals with some tough subjects. Landon was born into an abusive household. He was neglected and physically abused nearly his whole childhood. That is why the man has such a negative opinion of himself and his self worth. Landon is the drummer for Nothing But Trouble.

Piper's always tried to reach a level of perfection that would prove to her father that she is worthy of his love. She's always went out of her way to be better than all and succeed just to get a glimpse of notice from him. But he never acknowledged her. Now Piper has a misguided notion of what parenting and love is all about causing her to see the world in a negative light. But all the work through the years didn't go unnoticed, now Piper is at the top of her field working with the hottest rock bands on the planet. When a blast from the past in the form of Rock Legend Landon Cox comes back into her life, she has to decide if she's willing to give him another chance after he abruptly disappeared years ago without a word.

My thoughts:

First off let me start by saying, Tara Leigh completely blew me away with Rock Legend. I went into this novel expecting to like it, but damn, I didn't think I'd get so swept away in this story line. I freaking loved it. One thing I loved about this novel was the instant chemistry between Landon and Piper. I'm a sucker for second chance romances, if done right. Let me be the first to say, I was rooting for these two from the very beginning.

Landon is the typically egotistical rock star who thinks he's god's gift to women. To put it plain and simple, he's a manwhore. As I dove deeper into this novel and caught glimpses of the man Landon truly is, I realized his manwhore vibe is a shield protecting the boy from his childhood. I felt complete devastation for Landon. One thing I love about romance novels such as Rock Legend is being able to uncover the bad boy and seeing the true man that lies beneath the shield and Landon's truth is something that shouldn't be missed.

Piper is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Landon. She's someone who isn't typical to Landon, he's used to woman falling in his bed and not having to work for it. Not with Piper, Piper was burned by Landon once and she's not about to let that happen again. I loved Piper and the way she didn't put up with Landon's shit. She is the perfect antidote to his womanizing ways.

Overall, Rock Legend was loads of fun! I'm so happy I took a chance on this novel and this series! I cannot wait for Dax's story! I need more Nothing But Trouble!

I enjoyed the first book in the Nothing But Trouble series, so I was looking forward to reading this one, especially since I love second-chance romances. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work as well for me.

“Until the day I had to make a choice.
My girl or my career.
I chose music. Fame and fortune. Hollywood Hills and chemically induced thrills.
Of course, I’d spent every day since then trying to convince myself I didn’t regret it.
Want to know the difference between a legend and a fairy tale?
Only one of them ends happily ever after.”


Landon had a troubled childhood, and his main coping skills as an adult, and the drummer of the famous band Nothing But Trouble, are drinking and drugs. Piper, who he dated for two months before the bad got big, was the one shining light in his life, but when made to choose between the band and her, he chose the band. There were extenuating circumstances, yes, and it takes a good portion of the book before he finally tells her, but the end result of him leaving without so much as a good-bye is that Piper thinks she wasn’t “enough” for him, and that’s affected all her relationships every since. Piper’s got her own childhood demons, and she’s driven to perfection and organization. Though she’s been working with the band’s agent for years, she’s so far managed to avoid Landon, but when they finally meet, both realize that six years apart hasn’t changed the chemistry between them. Forced together by another one of Landon’s screw-ups, Piper eventually decides there’s no harm in having a fling with Landon, but as Landon’s past catches up with him, things get more emotional than she bargained for. Do people only get second chances in fairytales, or can Piper and Landon write their own ending?

I had a lot of trouble drumming up sympathy for Landon, and honestly, for most of the book, I just wanted Piper to wash her hands of him. I had a hard time believing that two months of a college relationship over six years ago was enough to keep her coming back, even if the sex was hot. The same pattern repeats throughout the book – Piper decides to give Landon a second chance, Landon messes it up. Landon decides to apologize, then Piper messes it up. Landon blames himself for a lot of things – weirdly enough, things that were out of his control – but he blames Piper for his need to numb himself with drinking and drugs. Additionally, without going into spoilers, from the first chapter, the book was practically banging me over the head that one of my least-favorite tropes was going to make an appearance, so I spent the entire first half of the book dreading it. I have read and very much enjoyed books that subvert that trope, but unfortunately, this was not one of those cases, and it was very predictable. One of the things I love about angsty romance novels is that – even though I know it’s going to end in an HEA – in the midst of it, I like to worry about how the couple is going to reach their HEA, and a predicable plot line takes a lot of the fun out of that.

“Some of us have work to do,” she said, not falling for my ploy.
I couldn’t help reaching out to pull at a lock of her blonde hair, wrapping it around my finger and closing the distance between us. “There was a time that wouldn’t have stopped you.”
For a second, Piper’s eyelids blinked closed, those bright blue beams shuttered. But they opened again quickly, blazing with anger. “There was a time you would have been worth it.”


Some of the turns of phrase and plot devices left a bad taste in my mouth. She calls off the engagement with her fiance when she walks in on him in bed with another man. At one point, when making out with Piper, Landon is described as “a fat kid in a candy shop.” My least favorite was the handling of the pregnancy. Even though she’s been intimate with two men, she assumes it’s the one man’s baby, going so far as to pick out freaking crib mobiles with him and his new partner. It’s by chance that she realizes that she used a condom incorrectly and that Landon could be the father. Does she tell the other guy her suspicions right away? No, instead, they both find out in a ridiculous scene out of Jerry Springer with them all getting the results at the same time. And after that? The book’s only concerned with her and Landon repairing their relationship, and the poor guy and his partner show up at the baby shower at the end, supposedly forgiving all. The writing style was a bit over-the-top for me, too. At one point Landon refers to her clitoris as the “plump berry in the orchard that was Piper Hastings” and I nearly DNF’d the book from that alone.

Overall, this book just didn’t work for me for a variety of reasons. If you’re a big fan of rock stars and second chance romances, you may have better luck, but I doubt I’ll pick up the rest of this series.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

“Nothing worth having comes easy.”

This book had so much potential. The story line was so good, the characters were likable but I couldn't get past all the repetitiveness.

In one chapter the same words were two pages over. It was crazy. I skimmed a lot of the book because of this. Still understood the story.

Both of the characters have some secrets they weren't ready to share. Falling in love isn't easy but with these two the timing was never right.

It was fun seeing them try to reconnect and find out if it was meant to be with Piper and Landon.

Also, it's true what they say. You learn something new everyday. (I can't spoil it but you'll know what I'm talking about when you read it)

rock legend continues tara leigh's nothing but trouble series and follows publicist piper who has a past with drummer, landon cox.

landon is a mess in the present day. and piper is the one person who can get him focused. she's the girl he let slip away. their past heartbreak informs their present. and getting things on track is not a straight path.

there are misunderstandings aplenty, but at the end of the day, piper and landon have something special between them. landon is a mess, but you really come to understand his demons. and piper's issues are just as deep, and landon works hard to overcome them.

in the end, the story is a really lovely second-chance at love.

**rock legend will publish on july 17, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/grand central publishing (forever yours) in exchange for my honest review.

I’m a sucker for a rock star romance, and this one is great! Sexy, fun, and a great cast of characters. Hero and heroine had such smoking chemistry!

Wow! I have never read a book by this author before and I can say after reading this book I will definitely be reading more from her. This book was so so good that I read it all in a day and could not put it down. The story of the rock legend Landon and the sweet always trying to be enough Piper was epic. I love rock star books and this one is now in my top 5. Landon was such an awesome and sexy character you can't help but to fall in love with him, flaws and all. Piper aka Pippa was written so well anyone can relate to her need to prove she is enough and try to live up to others expectations. I had so many quotes I saved from the story because it was full of such awesome advice and remarks especially at the end the author's note:

"Piper represents an all too common problem in our society - women clinging to the idea that they have to be perfect to be worthy of love.
No one is perfect.
To everyone reading this note - it is our differences and imperfections that make us who we are. Please, embrace them. Life would be painfully boring if we were all the same." AMAZING this author is a new favorite :) Will leave an amazon review when the book is available on July 17th

Not too big on rock star romances, but this book made the genre alive for me again. Holy smokes, This is was a fantastic ride to be on, and I was so enthralled with the story, with the characters, and the whole book. I didn't want it to end, but yet I was ready for it to end so I could get some sleep. This heartfelt rocker romance is told in dual pov.

Rock Legend is a stand alone book, part of the Nothing But Trouble series. This was my first time reading a book by this author. I enjoyed reading this book with it's fast paced style, well done dialogue and well thought out characters who dealt with life's struggles in fantastic ways.

The plot took us through the life of Landon and Piper. They had a brief love affair during their college years then Landon disappeared with no correspondence back to Piper. They both have demons in their past that color their reactions to the present and shape all their decisions. I enjoyed reading their story. It was a fantastic escape from my reality to jump into Landon's fancy LA rock star lifestyle and see how he and his bandmates dealt with life.

Characters - Did you like the characters? What did you like about each character? Did you like their story arc?
Landon Cox is a now famous drummer for the band Nothing but Trouble. He's living the lifestyle of the rich and famous, being a playboy and legend. His past as a foster child taken from his parents shape how he handles relationships. But he's wondering if there's more to life than the empty moments before and after his performances. Piper Hastings is working for the PR firm that handles Nothing but Trouble, after having a brief, but bright and intense love with Landon. Now she's done her best to move on with a new boyfriend...but her childhood also wasn't picture perfect. Together their baggage causes numerous struggles they have to overcome.

Landon may be a rock god (or legend), but it was nice to see him have to work for it with Piper...even after we found out they shared some time together previously. He needed more than groupie love. And she needed him to make some personal changes...but despite all that, they share a bond and heat up the sheets...and pool...and other surfaces. Landon's confident rocker swagger; Piper's reluctant desire for the former love, they both intertwine to make a steamy romance novel!

This was a fast paced book, full of twists and turns that kept me reading to see what shenanigans would happen next! The surprises were always coming and were fantastic. Not being any sort of musical anything, I love jumping into the world of someone so different from my own. I love when the characters pull stunts and “billionaire book boyfriend” antics. I was absorbed in Landon and Piper's story; they were not only great characters, but their backstory was fantastic, their bandmates provided needed moments of seriousness and levity and friendship, family gave reasons for actions, and the setting itself provided both ups and downs. The author did a great job of incorporating every day struggles as well as things specific to the musicians and their industry.

Since this was book two, I want to go back and find book one and read about Delaney and Shane to learn even more about this band of musicians and friends. I love to delve into the stories of a whole group of friends/family like this series will provide. Another high note to this book was that it provided a Epilogue to the story, and gives a great finish and send off for the characters so you not only get a quick happy ending to wrap up all the details, the reader is graced with a look into the future. Those are some of my favorite things in books.
Star Ratings:
Plot = 4/5 Characters = 5/5 Heat = 5/5 Writing Style = 4/5 Overall Rating = 4/5

Get ready to fall in love with the drummer! Landon does not believe in fairy tales and happily ever after and neither does Piper. She is the PA to Landon's manager and has managed to avoid running into him up until now. He left her six years earlier without a word. Does their love deserve a second chance? I loved this book! 5 stars
