Falling Down & Blush is a good fit for readers who enjoy stories about unexpected romantic connections and the journey of self-discovery that can come with them, set against the backdrop of the exciting and unpredictable world of rock music.

This book was well written and good but I did not like the genre and tried my level best to continue reading it because it was too good to stop reading.

The writing was good. From beginning to end it was good. I feel like it was never slow and the more I read the more I wanted.

There were some fun, steamy moments to be had, who hasn't had their own rock star fantasies, but overall this read like fan fiction. Kind of 50 Shades of Grey meets Rick Springfield. Not that there's anything wrong with Rick Springfield.......

The series as a whole is more erotic romance than anything else. There is a plot line that is somewhat endearing, although at times it is raw. Anyone offended by depictions of sex scenes in detail, or cussing, etc. should probably avoid this series.

I actually liked it. There are some things that stretched my suspension of disbelief, but all in all I enjoyed reading about this ragged group and their antics.

No drugs are involved. This is a team of rockers who come from various backgrounds and somehow have merged into being a "family". They all have their issues and we get to enjoy their stories as they mature and reach superstardom.

Jesse Kingston is Lucy's hot rock star teenage crush, a chance meeting has them, starting their story. It is raunchy in places. and romps along with lots of twists and turns. It had me laughing out loud in places and blubbing in others. It seemed to touch every one of my nerves. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to starting the next one.
Thank you, NetGalley for the opportunity.

Now Rock star Romances are my guilty please and i couldn't wait to devour this series...however after the first book i was left struggling.
Lucy is a young fan girl who gets to meet her rock star crush. yet after an embarrassing encounter she walks away.
Cue 6 years later and Lucy is a well known actor who loves to dance in music videos. Unbeknownst to her she has just been hired to star in Jesse's video and so the romance begins.
While i loved the first half of this book the second half took a nosedive.... I love erotica and sex scenes however, i feel like there was so many in the second half of the book it dragged the story out and really spoiled the whole story.
Some of the characters were so much fun and i couldn't wait to read their own stories but once i started to read i realized i needed to read the second book which focused around Jesse and Lucy.... and i just could do it.!
This book has the ability to be amazing if about 80 pages are removed to make it more fast paced and to the point.
I so wanted to love it...

The Rockstar Series Part One (Books 1-4) is an absolute must! It was such an amazingly wonderful boxset! I fell in love with these characters especially Jesse and Lucy. I have read a lot of books and I have to say this boxset is one of my all time favorites. I can’t wait for more. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

I have never heard of this author. Took a chance really on this book series. I mean really? Who doesn't like rockstar romances. They are seriously hot ESPECIALLY if you have an author who can do the writing and characters justice! This author true to her craft did well!! All the characters stood side by side and didn't overshadow each other. They are strong characters and were taken on a ride of music, love, death, heartache and break, and happily ever afters. Enjoyed the playlists and the music accompaniment. It was a well rounded story. Loved it and will definitely read the next books in this series. I just have to know about Cage and Kennedy and Jace! Trace is still there, but I have a feeling Cage's past has something to do with a certain redhead!! Let's see if I am right!! Get these books! You won't be disappointed!!! 👌👌👌👌

I received this ARC from the publisher via Net Galley at my request for an honest review. These opinions are my own. Thank you Net Galley!!

Falling Down (Rockstar #1)
Lucy was this perfect girl who is an award winning actress and who is not only beyond beauty but extremely nice. Ever since she was young she has had this crush on rockstar Jesse Kingston who she fortunately meets in an airport and she actually gets to talk to him. Even at her young age they seem to some sort of connection. A few years later Lucy actually gets to do a video with Jesse and that connection that was felt earlier is not only there but now they are able to build on it.

Lucy and Jesse’s story was something that I had to keep reading and I am looking forward to the second in this series to come out!! Not only did Ms. Mercier do such a good job with them that the supporting characters were great to read about as well. All of the different personalities meshed really well. There were many times that you not only felt your heart break a little but I was laughing out loud at some of the things said. I have to say again that I really liked this book & cannot wait for the second one.


Blush #2
Dreams do come true just ask Lucy. When she marries her teenage rock star crush and he loves her like no other and your career that you only dreamed of is taking off like gang busters and you are surrounded by people who love you and make you laugh, what could go wrong?! Well how about keeping your husband’s groupies in their place and being the granddaughter of a mafia boss brings its own kind of trouble.

Another great story on Lucy and Jesse with all of the sexiness you’d expect, great concerts, humor, and unexpected suspense.


A Very Zander Christmas #3
The first Christmas together with both bands and all of the people they love in Zander’s POV. “Zan my man” has to be one of my favorites. He is sexy with a sense of humor that has me actually laughing out loud much of the time…when he’s not melting my panties off!!

This is a great quick and fun read with their spin on the Christmas spirit!!


Amplified #4
A great rock series with a mafia twist coming full force. Cage was the man in music that had many famous bands under his label and he has been front in center in all of this Rockstar series books. Sera has had a thing for Cage for a long time but even after their one amazing night together she believes he is still seeing Carina. Sera is good at running and Lucy is her one main stay and she knows she can trust her above all else.

What is Cage hiding beneath that fine business man’s suit with all of his power and sexiness? He wields power in more than just the music business. I loved Cage and Sera’s story and can’t wait to see what’s in store next for everyone.

I fell in love with this series on page one. The characters, the plots, all of it! I loved Xander the most! I also loved how she paid homage to her friends and fellow writers. Sometimes it did feel a bit kitchen sink feel- movies stars, models, rock stars, the mob, attempted murder, lots of sex- lots and lots of sex- oh my.... I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

4.5 STARS!!!
These are the first books I've read from this author and I absolutely enjoyed it. The characters were captivating and they had me laughing throughout this series. You can't help but loved these characters because they are so entertaining. I absolutely loved the chemistry and bond between them; they were a great group of friends, siblings and lovers. This was a steamy read and when it came to sex, there was no holding back anything. I think all readers that enjoy a good rockstar romance read will enjoy this set of books. I can't wait to have more of these characters.
