': Tammy's Review of Fall for Me (Rock Gods book 1) by August Author of the Month Ann Lister @AuthorAnnLister @TTCBooksandmore #mmromance #giveaway

Let's keep the AOTM train moving right along with my review of Fall For Me, book 1 in the Rock Gods series. This book started it all for me. At the time I was running a small blog tour company that posted to social media and when I saw the pre-order for this book, I took a chance and reached out to the Author. An amazing friendship was formed that first message and we've been friends since.

Seriously though, I loved this book, and I've reread it several times. There's just something so magnetic about Dagger and Ryan, their connection and their chemistry... it's just so enthralling and sexy. Don't forget about the giveaway as well y'all, details at the end of the post.

Entertainment journalist, Ryan Pierce, meets the infamous bad-boy rocker, Dagger Drummond, and walks away with a great interview and a scandalous news bit that has the potential to turn the music world on its ear. Exposing the story would boost Ryan's career, but it would also come with the risk of ruining Dagger's privacy – and possibly his Rock God status.

The unlikely friendship that develops between Dagger and Ryan brings Ryan to question more than just his journalistic oath to report the news. It also forces him to take a look at himself and newly discovered feelings – feelings that make Ryan blind to the risk of becoming front page news himself.

Will Ryan find the courage to make a life decision to give himself true happiness with Dagger or take the path that would likely lead to heartbreak and destroy his career forever?

Tammy gives this book 5 Stars... "Sexy, passionate and emotional"

Ryan Pierce is a journalist for a popular music magazine in LA. He's interviewed more rock stars than he can remember. Unbeknownst to him, his next interview is going to turn his world upside down and make him question who he is. Dagger Drummond is rock star gold. Everything about him oozes sex appeal, from his striking good looks to his air of confidence. The fact that he truly is a talented singer/songwriter is just a plus. Ryan gets a great interview from the meeting, but when he returns for something he left behind he learns a secret Dagger will do anything to keep that way.

Dagger has kept the truth about his sexuality a secret for fear it would ruin his career. Ryan has lived his life as a straight man, never even considering he might be gay, until he meets Dagger. The attraction is evident from the start, but Ryan denies it to Dagger and even to himself for the longest time. The two form a unique bond of friendship based on late night phone calls, random texts, trust and mutual attraction. Dagger is a good boy though, and keeps his hands to himself until he's sure Ryan is ready to reciprocate. A snake in the grass, a jackass that is jealous not only of their relationship, but of Ryan's success as well threatens to tear this couple apart before they can even commit to each other.

What a fantastic love story between the two most unlikely victims. Dagger has to work for Ryan's affections and trust me they are well earned. This is not an add water equals love story, no, this was a slow ride to make it to the finish line. I'm not usually a fan of angst, but Lister made that aspect of the story work in her favor by turning it into an internal debate Ryan had with himself about who he was. And more importantly who he wanted to be. There was a role reversal along the way that threw me at first, as Ryan become the strength where as it was usually Dagger. But it played out beautifully.

I enjoyed a fellow bloggers review of this book where she stated she is not usually a fan of M/M books, and even though she skipped the sex scenes in this book, she LOVED the love story. I think that's the best description for this book. I don't recommend skipping the sex scenes though, I read those twice actually. These two are just plain sexy as hell once they get going, and they don't know when to stop. They love to kiss and oh my god Lister knows how to write those kisses, I was fanning myself before they ever even made it past that first kiss!

I will recommend a tall glass of water, a fan and some Kleenex before you begin. Fans of sexy, passionate alpha male loves stories with a good dose of angst and some emotionally charged chapters will love this book.
