Rock Me (Ross Siblings #2)
by
Cherrie Lynn (Goodreads Author)
Loving him couldn’t be worse than losing him. Could it?
Candace Andrews has had enough of pleasing others. In an act of birthday rebellion, she sets out to please herself—by walking into the tattoo parlor owned by her cousin’s ex-boyfriend. All she wants is a little ink, and Brian’s just the guy to give it to her.

"You touch yourself in front of me and I'll pull over and have your knees crammed around your ears in a fucking nanosecond. See if I don't." ~Brian
This book was JUST what I needed to read right now: heavily tattooed and kinkily pierced bad boy hero with big heart, super cute and very steamy love story, no big bad guy, laugh out loud moments, and a happy ending.
Also "educational" lol, I learned all about "apadravyas" and their benefits heeheehee (PS, if you google that, its very...more

Rock Me is book two in the Ross Siblings series and another very sexy read. I've had this one sitting around for awhile, but kept putting it off because of mixed reviews and comments from friends. Wow, am I glad I didn't wait any longer to read this awesome story!
I adored Brian! What a great hero. His piercings and ink nearly drove me to distraction and had me searching the web for more information. Ladies, when you've got some privacy, check out this picture of Brian's Apadravya. It's his penis...more

4 STEAMY BRIAN STARS
I'm starting off with a picture of MY Brian. The ONLY man I could picture the whole book was Carey Hart and let me tell you that that man is the quintessential tattooed bad boy!!!! He makes me sizzling HOT. I literally drool over him ...AHHHHH... I'm in lust!!!
Candice (the heroine) is sick of her parents running her life. They're always trying to control her and every move she makes. She's the good girl and is always doing what's expected of her. So she decides she's gonna...more

A shout out to my GR friend Kelly: I added two nice gifs. Greetings from Switzerland to our beloved Candace. Do you like it, Kels?
Brian…
…is the only reason why I rounded up to four stars coz basically Rock Me is no more than a 3.5 stars read. As it was, he made up for Candace’s shortcomings. Boy, he had to work hard to achieve it, though. Well done, Brian!

Overall, I really liked this book. I will admit to being confused with the abrupt decisions Candace made toward the end of the book. However, Brian more than made up for that issue. I couldn't help but fall completely and utterly in love with him. He is the reason I gave this book 4 stars.

What a GREAT find in Cherrie Lynn. IMHO Brian ranks right up there with Lauren Dane's Brody Brown. Actually he my be number one in my tattooed, brooding, exceptionally hot alpha male category. This authors writing style reminds me a lot of Lauren Dane's.

I gave this story four stars not because it was sexy as all get out, or because the hero, "Brian" was a "tatted-up" alpha-male, I gave it four stars because this well written story earned them. I read several reviews after I finished this book, and a lot of people loved Brian, but more of them really disliked the heroine, Candace. I have to say, I was actually quite surprised by this.

When someone recommended this book about a fun-loving, bad-boy tattoo shop owner, it was hard to pass up.
Reading this took me back in time, when life was just about having fun and enjoying the moment. For a steamy book, it was well done. There was more plot than porn.
The whiplash indecision of the heroine did annoy me over and over, but Brian was so incredible, he sort of buffered her behavior. I didn't want the hero to fall so hard so fast, but what do you do? He went from lusting after her to...more

This was suggested as a fix for my separation from Lucas in Tamarra Webber's Easy but I wouldn't call it a fix so much as an upgrade! Holy Tattooed Hotness!

I thought this was a great book! I loved it! Bad boy Brian really isn't so bad...anymore. He comes from a good family but took a walk on the wild side in his teens and early 20s. On the wild side, he picked up a lot of interesting looking friends and a tattoo parlor, but surprisingly no jail. Combine that with his hot temper and all the "marks" he collected along the way (tats and piercings) and you get a quite delicious, but menacing (looking) package...to everyone except for Candace.

I am giving this 5 stars for the penis piercings alone!! Hahaha! Seriously, this was a Fantastic read, I am so in love with Brian, in all his tattooed and pierced glory!! But aside from his total hotness, he is an incredible man. I knew I'd love him when I got meet him in Unleashed, and although at first I thought Candace an unlikely match for him I now see the error of my ways and I loved her almost as much!!

It's called an apadravya. Yeah. Go Google it like I did or look it up here on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apadravya. I'm not going to post a picture of it...don't say I didn't warn you. But, being a tattooed girl as I am, I have to admit that while I am not attracted to my own tattoo artist (hope he's not reading this), I have been under the needle and can see how it could be hot if you were being inked by the right guy.

Yesterday, I sent out a call on Twitter for something dirty. And thank god for my PV, because she sent me this. And HOMIGOD, I loved it. I couldn't put it down, and stayed up wayyyyy past my bed time to finish. There's just something about a tattooed bad boy going all moony over a girl that is so freakin' hot. And Brian was hot with a capital H-O-T.

The Virgin Princess Candace falls hard for the tattooed, pierced and utterly delectable Brian.
Living on her own, Candace is ruled with an iron fist from her very controlling parents. She has to decide whether she’s willing to risk the only person she has loved from her very snobbish family. Brian also comes for a wealthy family but is an outcast and doesn’t live the high society life. Although he himself is a success, being a business owner and a tattoo artist.

I really want a Brian of my own!
Re-reading for the 3rd time! This couple is great and is probably my favorite of the series. Brian is totally sexy with his tattoos and piercings! The chemistry between them is great and the plot is too!

I think this can be considered a solid 4 stars book.
In this installment we're facing Brian's story. Brian was a troubled teen, and that left a bitter taste for his family, even though he had picked himself up, opened a business and is behaving (mostly) like a responsible adult. Yes, he's tattooed and pierced, in more than the visible places, but that has nothing to do with his heart.

This book definitely deserves 5 stars! I just LOVED Rock Me! I was pulled in from page one and found myself wanting MORE every time I turned a page. All her life, Candace Andrews has done everything to please her parents and others, but on the night of her 23rd birthday, she finds herself at a tattoo parlor (owned by her cousin’s ex-boyfriend, and her long time crush, Brian Ross…) to get herself a little ink. Candace is tired of always pleasing others and never herself, so a tattoo is the perfec

One star may seem harsh, because I did actually manage to finish it, but on a basic level, it was pretty weak, even for a fluffy romance novel. Candace was one of the most insufferable characters I have encountered in a while. It seems like she was constantly crying about something, and she seemed more like a sheltered 13 year old than even a sheltered 24 year old. It was clear what she saw in Brian (he seemed like a great guy), but I couldn't figure out what he was getting out of this relations...more

I liked this book more than the first in the series, and that for one reason and one reason alone: Brian. Yeah, what else?
This is the real bad boy meets good girl romance. Candace is sweet, innocent (they always are!) and still lives under her parents wings and is extremely controlled by them. And they (obviously) are rich snobs who despise everyone that doesn't stand up to their standards and already have a pre-arranged life for Candace.

I know what you're thinking...Julie, how could you possibly give this romance book that many stars and not give some of the more serious and thought-provoking books higher ratings? I would then tell you that I rate each and every single book according to the standards that I bestow on each writing genre.

If anything, read this book for Brian. I mean what's not to like, multiple tattoos and piercings :) As for Candace, I liked her and didn't like her throughout the book. The thing I disliked about her was her back and forth back and forth. She said she loved Brian, but then said she didn't know if she could be with him. My god woman...Grow Up! This book was both sweet and hot.

Before I begin this review I have a confession; I haven't read Unleashed. I saw Rock Me at my local library and it sounded good so I grabbed it. I personally don't feel I missed anything, I was never confused by who any of the characters were or what their relation was with one another. With that said, I do plan on going back and reading book one and then continuing on with Leave Me Breathless. This was very out of character of me to read book series out of order...

Cherrie Lynn has been a CPS caseworker and a juvenile probation officer, but now that she has come to her senses, she writes contemporary and paranormal romance on the steamy side. It's *much* more fun. She's also an unabashed rock music enthusiast, and loves letting her passion for romance and metal collide on the page.
