The Story of Lansing Lotte (Legendary Rock Stars #2) ~ L.B. Dunbar

I get it. I’ve heard the jokes. My name sounds like some medieval character who was a hero. Hell, my best friend’s named Arturo King. Ring any medieval bells? But this is my story and I’m no hero. I also get the jokes. Lancelot is a play on the words lance and lot, and a lance refers to a sword, which is a euphemism for dick. What does a man do with his dick? He fucks. A lot. So if my name is Lansing Lotte, I must be “fucking lot.” Get it? Fucking a lot? Which I’m not saying I don’t, that’s not the point. Another reference to something sexual. Get my point? Huh, I made a punny. But again this is my story, and I haven’t done anything funny. In fact, I’ve killed three women, and only one of them I loved. Yeah, that’s right? Not laughing now. It’s not funny. And I’m definitely no fucking hero.

This is one emotional roller coaster!! Starting off with the MAJOR cliffy from the Legend of Arturo King, The Story of Lansing Lotte jumps right in where we left off. Guinie is in mourning, Lansing is still hoping for his one chance and Elaine completely takes advantage of a drunken Lansing, when he drinks himself into a stupor over Arturo’s accident and missing body.

Guinie is a mess and starts to latch on to Lansing. She knows he’s wanted her for a long time, but does she really care about him, or is she just lonely and lost?

Lansing, being the “hero” that he doesn’t want to admit, saves “3A” and her daughter Fleur from a fire in his building, and their once innocent flirting takes to new heights when he moves them in with him. Lila and Fleur are everything that Lansing needs, but doesn’t know it.

Sightings of Arturo are starting to happen, Ana is pushing Guinevere to move on from Arturo, no one can get in touch with Mure Lin, we are introduced to Perk’s new girl, Hollister, ::spoiler alert:: and Elaine is pregnant from the one night with Lansing. Whew!! Talk about a mouth full (that has two meanings hehehe)! 

I love the spin on the classic King Author, Lancelot and Guinevere love triangle, but I am so happy that L.B. Dunbar makes a happy ending for Lansing here. After he got his head out of his ass and realized all the chaos surrounding him, he finally put a stop to it. Lansing may have saved Lila and Fleur from the fire, but they saved Lasing from the drama and fire that he was in. 

Deep (Stage Dive #4) ~ Kylie Scott

Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.

Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?

Finally we get to learn more about Ben and Lizzy. What I have to say is, I wanted to smack Ben several times though this book. Props to Lizzy for staying true to herself.

The sexual tension between these two is off the charts! Ben is one sexy, big, scruffy dude. Lizzy is the loveable, sweet little sister (by marriage)of his band mate. Ben's "too old" for Lizzy and Lizzy is "off-limits" to Ben, but they can't help it. Their attraction is powerful.

When Lizzy finds herself pregnant and not sure how to tell Ben, one major f&*k up a band dinner causes fist-a-cuffs, bloody noses and judgmental looks. While Lizzy is having her own freak out, so is Ben. Unfortunately, Ben does not handle his freak out well and causes me to hate him for a couple chapters.

Lizzy gives Ben chance after chance and completely falls in love with him. Ben, who doesn't realize how in love with Lizzy he is, allows his sister in to the picture to "apologize" for her previous behavior and yet again, another f*^k up ensues. Ben's last hope is getting Lizzy to their concert, when she is already prepared to sneak away on the next plane back home. Will Lizzy go to the concert......You'll have to read to find out. All I'll say is that I have forgiven Ben, if that helps.
