5 Stars!!


No one and I mean no one can write an erotic rockstar romance quite like Olivia Cunning. This book served as the perfect reminder of why I fell in love with her writing and characters in the first place when I first discovered her Sinners series years ago. But this book? This gloriously sexy and make you laugh out loud like a loon book? This is easily my favorite bo ...more

When I first saw there was an Exodus End book coming out, I was so excited I couldn't stand it! I thought… this is it. We are finally getting that Dare Mills book I’ve been waiting for. Well, this is not Dare’s book. This is Logan’s book. Logan Schmidt is the bassist for Exodus End and he is one of the most fun and charismatic rock stars I’ve ever read about. He’s a dare devil, a guy that will make you laugh out loud and a total sweetheart. I’m still anxious for Dare’s book, but I ...more

DNF @ 20 Percent
”I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me. I just… wanted it.”

To be honest, I purchased this book on release day and read 20 percent and quietly put it aside. I was shocked that yesterday I was approved a copy through Net Galley since it's now released. Sadly, now I have to write something about my endeavor.
Unfortunately, the brilliant, sweet, virgin jumping IMMEDIATELY into the sack with the bassist and so on was totally contradictory to the picture the author painted in th ...more


Where do I begin?
For those who know Olivia Cunning's books I'm sure you were all dying to get Insider and I know most of you have waited for such a long time but be assured that it will all be worth it! ^^

This book will meet ALL your expectations. To me, Insider is probably the best book she had ever written! You can find all the ingredient that you've known in Olivia's book; Rockstars + smashing heroine + bad boy/dirty talker + sexiness + steam... a lot of steam + sex... a lot of sex = PERFECTI ...more

I enjoyed Olivia Cummings' Sinners series. The first book was my intro to rock band goodness... all the alpha brooding men with dirty talk to die for. The set up of woman on the bus with them...and all of the fun which happened struck me as a great read. Loved It.

I’ve got the most exciting news for you!
I’ve been sharing a bus with Exodus End! Don’t believe me? Meh, you’re just jealous. I mean, I would be jealous too. Sharing a closed up space with Dare Mills, Logan Schmidt, Max Richardson and Steve Aimes… Oh yeah. Perfection.

Insider tells the story of Logan Schmidt, Exodus End’s bassist player—

I finished The Insider over a week ago and for the life of me, I haven't been able to force myself to hunker down and write this review.

It really feels like I've been waiting forever to read this book. When it finally arrived … let’s just say, there was a little celebrating going on in my house … just anticipating all the sexxxy of this book had my hormones racing. (am I blushing yet?) But seriously - if there’s one thing I can count on Olivia Cunning for, it’s turning up the heat!

Can I just double die. I've gone and went to heaven. I'm shrieking like a little b*tch right now. OMFG There's going to be another Sinners on Tour book, and OMFG Exodus End is getting their own series.

4 "Don't Say It If You Don't Mean It" Stars!
Of the Olivia Cunning books that I've read, I know that she is great at writing awesome rockstar books. Insider is the first book in her Exodus End series.

The only problem is, this is her first real job that is taking her outside of her comfort zone. Most of her jobs have been ...more

4 Rockin' Stars!!!

Olivia Cunning writes these rock star books making you feel a part of the band, that you’re just a little bit cooler, a little more rock and roll, at least while you’re reading it. Her characters are presented very vividly, like you are both their fan and their friend.

It was a solid 4 star read until I hit the 70% mark. Oh man, after reading those last 30% I want to downgrade the rating to one star, because that is how bad and upsetting it was.
The whole time I was reading the book, I was hoping and praying it won't take the overused and most obvious direction. Unfortunately, the book did take that direction and it was even worse than I anticipated.
Ahhh what a fucking disappointment. After that ending I can't even list the many things I liked about this book. ...more

It has been a long time since I’ve read an Olivia Cunning book. And I’d forgotten how much I loved her writing. Ever since Dare was first introduced in the Sinners series, I’ve been intrigued by him and his band. I kept hoping and praying that the author would write books for Exodus End. This book was a long time coming and it. was. AWESOME.
