Review: Rock Reclaimed (Rock Revenge Trilogy #2) by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott


I’m the black sheep son.

The one no one ever knew about.

The one your mum wouldn’t want you to bring home.

I have the Kagan face and the Kagan voice and let’s be real—the legendary Kagan d!ck.

And now I was a rockstar too, on my way up. Soaring so high no one could rip me back down to earth.

Finally, I had it all…and then there was Zoe. Sweet, trusting Zoe, who was so much stronger than she looked.

The only woman who could bring me to my knees.

I would do anything to protect her. To keep her mine. And to protect my new family, the one I was sure I never wanted.

They didn’t understand how far I’d go to get the pot of gold. And then it was too late. There was no turning back.

No keeping them safe.

I’d made promises to the devil, and the devil always got his due.

One way or another.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Fall in love with Ian Kagan, our new rockstar anti-hero in the continuation of our super hot, romantic suspense trilogy, Rock Revenge. The trilogy occurs in the Oblivion world though it can be read on its own. Rock Reclaimed 2 is a full-length novel with a cliffhanger. The story concludes with a HEA in Rock Redemption 3.

What I thought about Rock Reclaimed

Having obtained a potential contract and interest from Ripper Records, Ian Kagan is in the States, playing gigs and falling in love with Zoe Manning, an artist, photographer and relative of Lila Crandall.  Did I mention that Ian is also involved with some shady characters and the target seems to be Simon?  

Most of the book is devoted to Zoe and Ian falling for each other.  Ian is a bit of a sympathetic character.  Although he's done some bad stuff, he's also likable and I got the sense he has turned the corner with finding love and a new family in Simon.  But he's also made commitments with the bad guys too, so that's not good.

Zoe is much like Ian.  There were times I didn't like her and then I did.  She seems very young and at times immature for someone as worldly as Ian, but there's a lot about contrasts in this book and their relationship fits. It takes Zoe a little time to give in to Ian's seduction, but I did like the fact that when she did, she was all in.  It didn't feel like insta-love here, but I did like where their relationship was at the end of the book before things took a bad turn.

There's a nice mix of Oblivion characters in this book which made me want more, and Donovan comes out from behind his phone and makes some personal appearances which I loved.  

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It works very hard for Ian's story to have a different voice and I appreciated that.  It left me wanting to know what will happen to Ian, Zoe, Simon and Margo.

There is a cliffie in this book.  I can only hope that the authors don't go "there" again!!! *bites nails while waiting for Rock Redemption.
