Double Time (Sinners On Tour #3) Review

Double Time: Sinners On Tour by Olivia Cunning

Book description...
Olivia Cunning delivers the perfect blend of steamy sex, heartwarming romance, and a wicked sense of humor in this menage story featuring the hottest guy in the Sinners band.
Trey Mills, the notoriously sexy Sinners rhythm guitarist, gives up his bisexual lifestyle and is swept into a hot, heady romance with Reagan Elliot, a female rock star sensation. But when Trey encounters Reagan's sexy bisexual roommate, Ethan Conner, he can no longer deny who he is or what he wants. Reagan heartily agrees to a solution that opens up a hot new world of sexual experience--and love--with the two men she wants the most.

Have you ever seen something somewhere and thought "Ohmigod, I have to have that!"?  Yeah?  Me too... On Netgalley... where I saw Double Time was up and waiting to be reviewed... I seriously think I jumped up and down and clapped a little when I got that email saying "Thanks for requesting a title from NetGalley's Public Catalog. You can now access the title by logging into NetGalley."  That's all it took to make me one happy girl... because when it comes to the Sinners... Trey is my favorite!

I've known since Backstage Pass that I was going to fall and fall hard for Trey and his sultry green eyes... what I didn't know what HOW hard I was going to fall.  And let me tell you I fell hard.  He is such a doll but yet he's kind of emotionally broken in a sense, because he's in love with Brian and has been for so long... I feel for you Trey because I'm a little in love with Brian myself!  But then he meets Reagan and he decides he wants to do the whole exclusive thing, because he can see there is something different about her, something special!

There was so much to love about Reagan... I mean seriously, not only is she sweet but she can adapt to her element without changing who she is no matter where she is.  Which is exactly why she fit in so well with Exodus End.  She's got trust issues and some major insecurities ever since walking in on her ex-boyfriend getting it on with another man.  So when she meets Trey and he seems so interested she can't help but start to fall for him... even though deep down she knows something is "missing" from their relationship.

So Trey and Reagan start to fall hard and fast for each other but just as Reagan knows deep down that something is missing, Trey tries to ignore it... for as long as he can... which is approximately 5 minutes after meeting her extremely gorgeous roommate Ethan.   At this point in the book the temperature levels went from smoldering to full fledged inferno!  I'm not big on reading explicit male on male encounters... but I am definitely not one to deny that even I was a little hot and bothered by the chemistry between Trey and Ethan... okay a lot hot and bothered... add Reagan to that mix and I was sitting here wishing my husband wasn't at work!

The only problem I had with this book was the fact that I felt like I was missing something... because Olivia had originally planned for Trey's book to be the last in the series.  I'm not feeling overly satisfied.   Honestly?  I'm feeling a little cheated.  But with that said, if I had it to do over again... No way would I miss another opportunity to read Double Time as the 3rd book in the Sinners On Tour Series!  

Happy Reading!

 

Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour) Review

Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning is a book that will satisfy your Rock Star cravings.  It's hot, sweet, hot, funny, oh did I mention hot?  Warning....this is an erotic/contemporary romance novel with explicit scenes.

It's been months since Brian Sinclair, lead guitarist for the famous rock band, Sinners, composed anything. Unable to write the music that once flowed so naturally, Brian is lost without his musical mojo. But when sexy psychology professor Myrna Evans comes on tour to study groupie mentality, Brian may have found the spark he needs to reignite his musical genius. When lust turns to love, will Brian be able to convince Myrna that what they have is more than just a fling, and that now that he's found his heart's muse, he doesn't want to live without her?

Brian 'Master' Sinclair is like the perfect bad boy!  He's a rock star, one you wouldn't want to take home to Mom and Dad at first because his looks scream bad news.  But once you get to know him you see he is a sweet hopeless romantic (that falls for a girl fast and hard) who may not necessarily care what people think but still gets bothered by being discriminated against because of his looks and career.  I swear he made me smile so much  I wanted to put him in my closet and keep him forever ;)

"They warned you that I was a romantic retard, didn't they?  She turned her head to glance up at him. "Huh?"  "Don't play dumb.  You don't have to walk on eggshells, Myr.  If I'm stupid enough to fall in love with you in twelve hours, I deserve to have my heart broken."

Yes...he admits the way he is....he even does it with in the first 60 pages of the book!  But as with most of our lead alpha males he knows what he wants and is NOT afraid to go for it and go for it fast

"Wanna go to Vegas and get married?"

Now I personally probably would have said yes because well even by page 67...yes 67! it's already painfully obvious that Brian is a sweet, hot, bad boy that would do anything for the love of his life and it's also painfully obvious that what they have, if not already there...crazy I know..., is headed for unconditional and eternal love. But Myrna turns him town 4 different times throughout the book...crazy I know but then again maybe she's one of those women who wants a big fancy day?....Pffft... if it were me I'd still say yes ;)


 Myrna...terrible name but awesome character... is a human sexuality professor and after meeting Brian in the hotel lounge her conference was being held at and after couple of days with him heads back to Kansas City to get back to work.  A month goes by and both Brian and Myrna think about each other and after realizing that he doesn't even want any other women touching him and a little push from Trey, Brian decides to get in touch with her

"Now I just have to get up the nerve to have my heart shredded again."

But she says yes to flying out and meeting up with him for the weekend!  

While with Brian the first time Myrna got extremely curious of the bands groupies...but seriously who isn't curious?  I don't get it...just cause they're famous and may be hot as all get out why in the world would you want to sleep with a complete stranger who probably won't even remember your name 5 minutes into the act much less ask for it?  And who knows where they've been or what they've touched (eww, where's my hand sanitizer) Oh well wouldn't be rock n roll without sex...right?  Anyway, so she's curious and gets an idea to research the groupies to find out what makes them that way and heads out on tour with the Sinners.  She's "having fun" with Brian because she's scared for it to be anything else because of her psychotic ex-husband but they're having so much fun together and she's finding herself getting jealous of what the groupies have to say about Brian...it's kind of funny especially because these women truly believe they are in love with these guys...I mean come on really?

So with out really realizing what's happening Brian starts to get under her skin (she's already embedded in his and not going anywhere).

He had everything he wanted.  He needed.  Right here.  This woman.  He knew she wouldn't appreciate his sentimental thoughts.  She didn't want to hear that he loved her, no matter how clearly he felt.

 He knew exactly what she was to him but she continued to fight it saying it wasn't going anywhere and they were just having fun.  But...if that was the case then she wouldn't have taken care of not only Brian but the other Sinners and roadies as well?  She made them keep at least one bus clean, cooked for them (pretty much whatever they asked for), jokes around with them, and tried to be a friend (even admits she cares about them).  She also stood up to Brian's Dad because he made her so mad.  Now if that isn't really caring for someone, let along loving them, then I don't know what is.

The tour has a break and after spending a few days with Brian in L.A., Myrna heads home to Kansas City so she can get some of her research data completed and while at home she gets an unwelcome visit.  Brian swoops in to her rescue and BAM.....she realizes her actual feelings for him

Perfect.  The man was perfect.  Perfect for her.  And she loved him

About damn time Woman!  Jeez...finally I can say YIPPEE!!!!  After hearing Brian actually say the words he's wanted to say for so long she tells him she loves him and he goes for it again

"You know," he said, "we'll be in Nevada for a show next week.  Wanna go to Vegas and get married?"

And what do you know.......

"I thought you'd never ask."

Backstage Pass was a perfect addition to my rock star....smutty....hot collection.  It's on my re-read list for sure because...WOW that book was H.O.T....hot!  Check it out, you'll be glad you did....but make sure to have a cool shower or your significant other handy while reading it ;)

Happy Reading!
