This series is so good, Rock Rebel was another amazing book!You will have all the feels and the characters were so realistic.

I was feeling like I was a part of this story!I loved Dax and Verity’s story, these two have a great connection!I could feel them all the way!They were intense and hot!

If you like rock stars this series is a must read!

There is beauty in anonymity and heartache in recognition. In other words just because someone knows you by name, doesn't mean they understand your private struggles. Rock Rebel reminds me of an old movie entitled, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." It told the tale of a deaf man who had a heart full of love. He showered his love on the people around him, but lost himself along the way. The best of intentions ended in tragedy. Dax and Verity use music to tamp down the pain, they hide inside. Neither is aware of the gift they share with the world. That is until they experience it through the eyes of each other. Can their spiritual awakening save them from the darkness that haunts their hearts? Tara Leigh takes readers on a journey into the looking glass to see how the other half lives. Rock Rebel begins as a heartbreaking solo, but ends as an inspiring duet.

Just when you think that the last Rock series book that you read is the best one then along comes the next one to blow it out of the water. In Rock Rebel Tara gives us an amazing story of two broken souls meeting and mending.

Dax the brilliant musician and the guitarist for Nothing But Trouble has a troubled past . His great love left him behind to chase her career and he is now ruined for other women. Verity is a former tv star from The Show, whose every move is controlled by her overbearing Mother. Verity decides to rebel plan her own comeback but she still has to live with the pain of her past.

Dax and Verity meet in an elevator and are instantly attracted to each other. Feelings sizzle between them even though they are trying to stay away from each other. Dax writes a secret song about his feelings for Verity and saves it to the wrong folder on his computer next thing he knows Verity is singing it in the studio and he is asked to accompany her on guitar and they can no longer ignore their feelings and avoid each other.

This story is about their push and pull as they fight their explosive attraction but then fall in love. This leads to big secrets being revealed leading up to a shocker finale. Wow what a twist I was not expecting that one!

Another brilliant book from Tara, an allnighter not to be missed! If you have not read the previous two books in the series and love rockstar romances, catch up!

I was given an arc in exchange for my honest review.
This is the third book in the series of Nothing But Trouble and also the last.
Verity Moore is trying hard to restart her career but not as an actress but as a singer. But she knows that it won’t be easy because she was a child actor who’s show was canceled two years ago.
Dax Hughes is the guitarist for “Nothing But Trouble”, but he was also part of Classic Hughes before he left for California.
Verity is trying to forget her past and focus on her own life and what’s to come of her relationship with Dax.
Secrets and lies will come and could tear them down or make them stronger to overcome what comes.

Verity was the star of a music show until it ended three years later. She used that opportunity to try and distance herself from her controlling manager Mom which led to some actions that didn’t enhance her reputation. She has been given the opportunity to open up for the rock band Nothing But Trouble and she is not about to let anything destroy her chance and that includes getting involved with the lead guitarist.

Dax was about to become the next classical music phenom until a broken heart led him to choosing a different path playing rock music with Nothing But Trouble. He is not about to trust anyone with his heart but especially not another musician.

The chemistry between them is off the charts and they both have their reasons for not getting involved but apparently their bodies or their hearts didn’t get the memo. Not only do they have concerns about the effect this could have on their careers but both are damaged by their pasts and they must decide if they are willing to take the chance and open up their hearts.

Full of emotion and twists Verity and Dax’s story is something you don’t want to miss. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

Dax Hughes is the lead guitarist for Nothing But Trouble and he has a secret. Verity is a pop singer and hugely successful in her own right. She has a painful past. Can the couple possibly work out in a relationship? These two had chemistry from the beginning of their meeting. I have really enjoyed every book in this series.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

WOW!! I loved, loved, loved Dax and Verity’s story in Rock Rebel by Tara Leigh, book three in her Nothing But Trouble series. Ms. Leigh created a wonderful and emotional story between two people forced by their parents and their amazing talents to grow up quickly. Dax was a classical music prodigy before leaving his family and Julliard to become the lead guitarist for Nothing but Trouble; becoming a rebel. Verity has the voice of an angel and forced to pursue the life her mother wanted in Hollywood. Unfortunately for Verity, and possibly with her manager/mother’s knowledge, she became a victim to the demands and sexual overtones of the men that controlled which female was cast for roles. #MeToo. Verity returned to Hollywood hoping to get a second chance with her singing career. She signed with Mick, the same manager/agent for Nothing but Trouble, severing ties with the career her mother planned for her and stopping her mother from controlling her and her money. Verity was to be the opening act for Nothing but Trouble, travelling with them on tour.

Dax believed he was an outcast, a misfit, a rebel, not caring what others thought. He was determined to keep secrets from his past secret and hidden from others; including Verity. Dax suspected she too had a scandalous past. Beginning with the moment Dax met Verity he sensed her past, her fears, her dreams, who she really was. He actually wrote a song describing all of that rebellion and need that Verity ended up singing it as a duet with Dax. These two had off the chart chemistry; that only grew as they spent time together. Before Dax and Verity can nurture a healthy and strong relationship they both must confront their skeletons and secrets; even if a connection or common person exists that has to be dealt with. Both Dax and Verity quickly learn they were mistaken about some of the truths they had believed. I loved how strong Verity became in dealing with and outing the demons in her past and how Dax was there to support her. I also admired how Dax understood that Verity had to come to terms with her hurts, her past on her own terms and not on his schedule. #MeToo

Ms. Leigh wrote an emotional and moving story filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters that is not to be missed. I highly recommend this book to other readers. I highly recommend Rock Rebel to other readers and really looking forward to the next book in this series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Rock Rebel is not a typical rockstar-romance, where we get a naughty guitar master who makes the chicks drop their panties over their heads. Oh no ... This story is emotional. And I guarantee that it will stay with you for a long time.


Accidental meeting in the elevator where the main characters immediately feel the wave of desire sounds quite cliche, right? Well, that's what Verity and Dax's first meeting looked like. She immediately recognized the rock star standing in front of her. But he didn’t recognize the disgraced pop princess. When they bumped into each other for the second time and Dax looked at her this time, it immediately cooled his enthusiasm. He has a golden rule – no more getting involved with women in the industry. He tried it in the past and it didn’t end well. Fate, however, has other plans for these two. Verity is embraced under the management of the man who also deals with Nothing But Trouble - Dax's band. A common tour and recording together sounds like torture when you force yourself to silence your lust and try to ignore sizzling chemistry. Besides, will the past and the secrets that they both hide allow these two to get their happy ending?

Oh, my heart. How it suffered. How it swelled with joy. How much did it feel along with the main characters! And what a characters! Both Verity and Dax are simply amazing. Separately they may seem a bit flawed by what happened to them, but together ... PURE PERFECTION!


„Two souls with just enough wrongs to make everything right.”


Amazing love story, touching an important and quite controversial topic, with the right amount of heat, drama and humor. Ideally created characters and style of writing which makes the pages turn themselves over and you hope that you will never get to the end. In a nutshell that’s how I can describe Rock Rebel by Tara Leigh. I recommend with my whole HEART!

Dax was on edge being back in NYC where he had been born and raised. He held the elevator for a woman and he felt desire coil through him when she smiled at him. Than she told Dax her astrological sign and told him his horoscope. Then It was the floor the gym was on and she got off the elevator. Afterwards verity wondered what had gotten into her , she didn’t flirt. Especially not with Dax Hughes the rock star. She had seen him before- a few times in person, hundreds of times in the celebrity magazines. Dax was everything Verity tried to avoid. With Dax’s heated glances she had felt unwanted desire. Dax made Verity’s head spin and her knees weak. She didn’t know if the feeling was mutual and she didn’t want to find out. She was taking a break from men and dating. From being a prop for someone’s over inflated ego. Verity was taking charge of her own life, her career. She was putting herself first. Dax was the guitarist for Nothing But Trouble and he was the kind of trouble Verity didn’t need. Verity was a disgraced pop princess. Travis- her new manager- the only other manager she had ever had was her mom and they hadn’t worked out very well. It was a secret her mother didn’t know she was being fired yet. Travis wouldn’t have signed her on if he didn’t believe she could overcome her bad reputation. The next day verity needed to win over the industry execs. Long before Nothing But Trouble Dax had been a member of Classic Hughes. An ensemble consisting of his parents, his sister-Aria- and his twin brothers and Amelia. A neighbors neglected daughter eventually Dax fell in love with her. But now her name twisted in his stomach. Dax had been part of that ensemble for six years and a lifetime ago. His parents had installed the love of music in their family early on. Dax had been playing instruments before he could talk. Wood, string, percussion it didn’t really matter. Music was a language. Dax had went to L A to look for Amelia but apparently she didn’t want to be found. At least not by him. Dax had found Amelia after six weeks but she made it clear she didn’t want to revive their relationship and there was someone else. He was in a bar when a band had started playing but the guitarist was three notes behind the rest of the band . Than the band front man kicked him off the stage and asked if anyone there knew their way around a guitar and wanted to join them. Two hours later Dax was closing out the bar and he had never played a guitar before that night. The other three guys in the band already felt like family. Verity was finally doing what she loved-singing. She wondered how She wondered how she had become an actress for so long. Verity had felt silenced. But it had never disappeared . Piper worked for Travis and he told her to take Verity out to eat but keep very low key. They went over to Delaney and Shane’s. Shane was Dax’s band mate. Dax was furious when he realized the girl in the elevator had been Verity. He knew he couldn’t have her. Normally Dax was the laid back one in the band . But tonight he was coiled tight with desire for a woman he couldn’t have. Because he knew better . Trying to ,make a relationship work with someone in the industry wasn’t worth it. Been there, done that. Had the scars to prove it. They were embossed in his brain and on his soul. Amelia had left his heart a shattered mess. Delaney had ruined dinner and they all went out to eat. Verity thought of her grandparents and choked up. She went to restroom on her way out a man from her past would not let her past him . but then Dax showed up and he let her go. Verity had been terrified Dax knew that. The only way you wound up with an expression like that is if someone gave you a reason to be that scared. Than his seventeen year old sister Aria texted him. She wanted to move to L A and she wanted to stay with him. Travis came to tell Verity that she had a contract and she would be going on a six month world tour with Nothing But Trouble- the band Dax was a part of. Verity drove to Dax’s house to thank him for coming to her aid that night at the restaurant. She had brought donuts with her and gave them to Dax. When their fingers brushed shock from the contact went up her arms. The simple touch ignited a dozen different electrical explosions in her body. What did this man do to her?
Such an excellent book and I loved it. I read it in one day as i didn’t want to put down unless I absolutely had to. I loved Dax and Verity together and how they interacted. I also loved how protective Dax was even though he told himself he couldn’t be with Verity. I loved the plot and pace of this book. I believe this was realistic in the problems celebrities have with relationships with other celebrities in Hollywood as well as the abuse starlets sometimes have to put up with and being a cash cow for their parents. The three characters I really hated were jack, verity’s mother and of course Amelia/Millie. But they were a large part of this story and needed to be who they were. But still what pieces of work they were. I couldn’t find anything to criticize in this book- very happily. Another new favorite. I loved the characters well except for the three and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.

Rock Rebel is the last book in the Nothing But Trouble series. And boy did it go out in style. Tara Leigh style that is.

Dax Hughes has been waiting in the shadows to tell his story. His story is emotional. I feel that it may be my favorite of the three books.

Verity Moore isn't the goodie-two-shoes that Dax believes her to be. In fact, there's a lot more to her than meets the eye.

When Dax and Verity meet it is explosive. Their story is full of lust, sadness, passion, and heartbreak. It's so beautifully written and told. I love both characters and I want my own Dax. Dax is a very caring and loving man. He is a perfect gentleman when it comes to Verity.

This book has some surprising twists that I was not expecting. They made me love the book even more. I know that sounds crazy but it all just fit together and made the book that much more enjoyable. For me anyway.

Rock Rebel is a great conclusion for the NBT series. Maybe the author will write Jett's story sometime in the future. His Happy For Now actually left me wanting his story even more.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Forever Yours for my unbiased opinion of the book. This is the third installment in the Nothing But Trouble series and it's just as good as the first book. The book centers around Dax Hughes and Verity Moore both running from their pasts and end up running into each other. When they get finally realize they both have demons they need to squash before either of them truly has a future separately or together they need to face them in order to let them go. Tara what a great book! I read it in a day and couldn't put it down! I can't wait to read Jett's story!!!

Like with the other books in this series, Tara Leigh dares to show us the dark side of life. The trouble, the pain and the heartache. Life isn't a dance on roses all the time, and I love authors that dare to challenge their readers when it comes to subjects that might be on the taboo side.
I think Tara Leigh does a great job when she wrote these stories. Some parts are dark and emotional, and other parts are more on the romantic side.
And I think that these parts mixes well together and makes a good story.

I hope you will enjoy Verity and Dax's story as much as I did.

4.5 Rebel Stars!
Wow, this third installment in the Nothing But Trouble series is a gripping romance filled with secrets, scandals and passion! Verity Moore has made too many wrong decisions, never taking the easy path. She is determined to leave her Disgraced Pop Princess image behind and build a singing career she can be proud of. Dax Hughes is a classically trained musician who found a new passion as lead guitarist for Nothing but Trouble. The band became his family, but he still held secrets and guilt from his past. Nothing But Trouble's Manager, Travis, now represents Verity and she soon is slated to open for them on tour. Verity and Dax have instant chemistry and their passion for music connects them intrinsically. But they fight their attraction, hoping to not repeat past mistakes. Verity is strong and resilient, making Dax feel more alive. Dax is so kind and thoughtful wanting to ease Verity's burdens. I loved both Verity and Dax, because neither are perfect, but they are perfect for each other. I love Ms. Leigh's writing and how she covered sensitive and current issues with honesty and empathy. The ending brought me to tears and I totally loved it. This is a beautiful story that is heartrending, complex, and very sexy. I really fell hard for the men from Nothing But Trouble, and the strong women who love them, and can't wait for more!

Rock Rebel was so good! I have not read the first two (what was I thinking?!) but I had no problem following along. Verity's story is relevant with the #metoo movement and the after effects are seen. You can't help but feel for her. Dax is a dream! You'll want a Dax of your own after reading this! Story is well written, with great characters. Now I have to go back and read the others!!

This one you best hold on tight because it will be a bumpy ride at times. The author gives you alot in the characters as they lay it out for us to see. Verity and Dax both have something going on with us holding our breath at times seeing what the outcome of this explosive chemistry will be. I enjoyed this ride was better than a amusement park roller coaster with the escape this one provided.

Rock Rebel is my favorite book in the series and it's a little sad since I was only able to give it 3.5 stars rounded to 3. Verity is not only a part of the #metoo movement but was also abused by her mother. Her mother did some horrible things to her and I am surprised she came out as normal as she did. Her past is not pretty and we have some heavy subjects here like sexual abuse. Some readers might not be ok with what they will read and I think this should be a warning.

A lot of the book is spent on Dax and Verity running from the truth of their pasts and especially in Dax's case from moving forward and having a life. Verity is just beginning with her new career path and she has a good voice and something to look forward to. Dax's past and Amelia weren't needed. He could have been completely focused on making her feel like a person and not like a toy. He still does that, but he is constantly pushing her away and I grew tired of it. He wasn't a bad character, but he wasn't book-husband material either, he is somewhere in the middle.

The book is a stand-alone and you can read it as such, but you can also pick books 1 and 2. Personally, I would recommend going straight for book 3.

"reviewing" because not leaving one will lower my stats. Thanks to NetGalley, Forever Romance, & all the reviewers who have taken the time to read Rock Rebel and post their thoughts. Totally overwhelmed by the love for Dax & Verity. Thank you for taking a chance on this story! xoxoxTara Leigh (I also have to put a star rating, lol)

Brilliant, beautiful, emotional, and surprising. You will simply love it. I devoured Rock Rebel in one day despite, trying to read slow, I just couldn’t stop turning the pages. This book was addicting, just so, damn fantastic that I didn’t want it to end. Definitely the best of the series so far.

Everything about this storyline and the characters captivated me. Dax Hughes and Verity Moore are exhilarating and exciting together. Their personalities, their struggles, their scorching chemistry, their conversations.....my my my! I was a goner, lost in their world of delicious, irresistible energy exchange that was impossible to leave, charmed beyond words.

Tara Leigh exquisite ability at storytelling transforms a great Love Story to one that enraptures readers with it’s emotion, conviction and vitality. Beautifully penned this book is a insta-must read, and one you won’t be able to put down or forget.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved the first two books in the Nothing But Trouble series but this one is my favorite by far. Dax and Verity's story is filled with emotion, passion, and a wonderful slow build romance. They each have flaws and pasts they can't outrun. The one thing they have in common is the love of music. Dax got his restart after dropping out of Juilliard. Now Verity's looking for hers. Will Dax help her along the way? This story will pull you in right from the beginning and keep you spellbound all the way through. Definitely a book and series I recommend.

5 Stars for this amazing book - Rock Rebel by Tara Leigh is the 3rd book in the Nothing But Trouble Series

ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own!!

Awesome - Amazing - Tara Leigh “Rocked this Book” Dax & Verity are now hands down my favorite characters. Verity a disgraced pop princess is staging a comeback & is being represented by Nothing But Troubles manager. He decides that Verity will be their opening act . The guys aren’t sold on the idea but when they hear Verity sing they know she is a real talent & a star destined for greatness!!

Dax wants nothing to do with anyone in the business - been there done that with a past relationship where he was burned so badly by love he isn’t even dating no hook ups - not your typical rock star that’s for sure ...

There is a more serious theme with this book - the Me Too movement plays an intricate part in this love story. Verity & Dax have a lot of baggage between the two of them but they are such good people & good for each other ...

The sign of an excellent story is not wanting it to end !! The characters stay with you even though you have turned those last pages !! Verity comes into her own instead of living her life to please others she becomes her own advocate for her career as well as what she wants most in her personal life .

Great characters
Sexy cover
Sizzling chemistry
Awesome storyline
Could not put this book down !!

You will love this book !!!
