Revelry by Carmen Jenner
Genre: Erotic Romance
Cooper Ryan is living the dream. Between the parties with rock royalty, booze, groupies and performing to crowds of thousands with his band Taint, life seems pretty sweet. There’s just one thing missing: the feisty little red-head that took his baby and ran off with his heart. Throwing himself into music is the only thing keeping him sane.
Until a run-in with a nonplussed, package-wielding PA throws everything off balance.
Ali Jones is having a craptastic life. Her grandmother died, leaving her homeless, penniless, and alone, and her boyfriend left her for a tramp who takes her clothes off for money. That’s why when she lands her dream job at a record company it seems like it’s too good to be true.
Because it is.
Slapped with an ultimatum, Ali must decide if facing the horror of the unemployment line is a fate worse than going on the road with four rowdy rockers hell-bent on making her life misery.
He’s adored by millions.
She’s not even loved by her cat.
Can they ignore their hatred long enough to survive the tour from hell? Or will their chemistry force everything to come crashing down around them?
My vision is partly obstructed by Ali, but the sight of her head bobbing as she takes him in her mouth is all I need to know what’s going on. Levi meets my gaze across the limo. There’s gloating there—that much is obvious—but there’s also understanding. When you spend as much time together as we do, you come to know your bandmates pretty well. For all his talk, he’s not as big of a douche as he claims to be. He may not ever sleep with the same woman more than once—with the exception of Ali, I guess—but I know he’s not immune to the loneliness our lifestyle creates. It’s strange how you can be adored by millions and yet completely alone all at the same time.
He slides his hand into her hair and closes his eyes, throwing his head back against the seat.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,” he whispers, and then he gathers her hair to the side and shifts her body so that my view is completely unobstructed. I watch as she works her hands up his shaft in time with her mouth. He doesn’t attempt to fuck the back of her throat and make her choke on it, the way we both had that first night we fucked her. Instead, his touch is gentle. Reverent.
It makes me crazy, and hot as fucking hell. I shift uncomfortably, adjusting my cock within my jeans. I don’t make a move towards them, though I want to. I want to bury myself inside her and mark her as mine, but at this point the lines are so fucking blurred it doesn’t matter whom she belongs to. Him. Me. The both of us, or neither one.
I lean forward, taking a glass from the shelf and a crystal decanter filled with amber liquor, and I pour myself a drink, and then I slide back into the leather to watch.
“Play with yourself, Red,” he whispers.
“No.”
“Do it,” I say, and she turns around to glare at me. I can’t tell if she’s disappointed I’m not joining in, or if she forgot I was even here.
“I don’t want—”
“Why are you suddenly so embarrassed?” I say sharply, swigging back more of the scotch than I should.
“I’m not embarrassed. I’d actually rather that you joined in.”
“I’m watching,” I say, eyeing her coolly over my glass. She scowls at me a moment and then she kneels up, steadying herself with one hand on Levi’s thigh. She wriggles her skirt up over her hips and bends over. Everything is on display as she takes him in her mouth again. I close my eyes, not wanting to watch her on her knees in front of him, her head bent low, her full fuck-me lips wrapped around Levi’s cock. I feel as if I’m on a ride that’s spinning out of control and I can’t find a way off. I can’t make it stop. And I so badly want it to stop.
My Review of Revelry by Carmen Jenner
Sex, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll. That’s what Revelry is made of and damn if I don’t love it! We met Cooper in the Sugartown Series, but this is his story. As much as I’ll tell you that you should read the Sugartown Series (because you SHOULD), I really think that Revelry can be read on it’s own because it is a spin-off. Any questions you may have about the connection are answered in Revelry, but seriously you really NEED to read Sugartown because Carmen Jenner is a genius and creates these beautifully flawed characters that just kill you.
Revelry revolves around Cooper and Ali. He’s this superstar rock god and she’s this low-level PA just starting in the business. Carmen Jenner brought both of these characters front and center, making them true-to-life people with emotions, smart mouths, and an undeniable pull to each other. Even the damn cat was a full-blown character in this book. Damn cat.
You know I don’t do spoilers, so here goes. Revelry by Carmen Jenner is a must read for your Summer list. It has everything you’ll love: Awesomely talented and super hot Cooper, the sexy boys in the band TAINT, a female lead that we actually fall in love with.
Ali is jaded, she’s clueless to how awesome she is, and she hates her cat (just wait until you read the scenes with her cat). Carmen has created this stunning cast of characters that leap off of the page and into your heart. I wasn’t able to put the book down until I finished the entire thing. Well freaking done, Carmen.
Be prepared to laugh, swoon, cry, yell, and fall for this couple completely.
Revelry is the first in the TAINT series and I cannot wait to get my hands on HURT (Book 2). The book includes hot sex, illegal drugs, and rock n’ roll. It also includes M/F and M/F/M scenes.
