GRR Reviews Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss) by Nalini Singh

Rock Addiction is a quintessential "brush with celebrity" encounter, but it was the extra touches that made the book rose above mediocre.

Molly was traumatized by a family scandal when she was young, that she always stayed on the straight and narrow, avoiding the spotlight of the media. However, attending an event held by her sister, brought her into the orbit of bad boy rock star Zachary Fox, and Molly gave in for one night of passion... for which she had no regrets, for Zach was a consummate and considerate lover. But Zach was not done. Zach quickly convinced Molly to extend it to a full month of pleasure... and indulgence. But Molly has a career and Zach, and his band has a tour. There's no way she'll go, and he can't stick around. Nothing wrong with a fling since neither will meet again... But will one month be enough for them? For Zach can be something Molly really get addicted to...

But the author knows how to put the right spin on the story, about how they sneak out and avoid the paparazzi, and the darkest hour was they were betrayed by one of the hotel security staff who planted a camera in their room... In between, the author manages to weave in threads about insecurity, other friends, the drama involving other band members, then throw in references about other couples, and their shifting attitude toward each other, and it's a good tale.
