Silver Strings E #1
A Shit Storm
Tristan Loren, son of former rock star Jack Storm, is the first to admit he’s lived a privileged life.
However, the top schools, the best games, phones, and cars, the motocross track winding around the back acreage of his family home, and the finest of whatever his heart desires has come with strangers yelling for his attention and camera flashes in his face. Even though his father retired the spotlight and moved the family from L.A., their lives are rarely incognito.
His classmates have visions of college life in the fall following senior year, while his fantasy is a normal existence. Whatever normalcy is, he’s sure it’s not graduating with honors--and an unopened condom in his billfold.
Aside from having a paranoid mom who makes it her mission to see that he’s never alone with a girl, he wants his first time to be with someone who doesn’t know him as Jack Storm-of-the-multi-platinum-Jackal Junior.
Chasing the vision of a woman and a world who doesn’t know of him takes him from the sunshiny suburbs of Dallas to the snowy streets of Detroit.
When he sees Sash in person, the girl he’s texted, phoned, and Skyped for the better part of a year, he’s drawn to her secret smile, and the tattooed half sleeves decorating her arms. Her fiery, fun demeanor and musical skills make her seem the soul mate he’s been seeking.
But Sash has her own secrets—secrets that make him wish he’d never met her. Falling for Sash and finding his own identity may cost him more than what’s in his wallet.
A Shit Storm can stand alone but for fans of Six Silver Strings Series, this novel is the first in the E-String Set and includes scenes with characters from G-Strings and D-Strings.

5 Cranky Stars
To say that Tristan lived a privileged life would be an understatement of epic proportions. Tristan "JJ" is the son of former bad boy rocker, Jack Storm from Jackal. Growing up with an overbearing and overprotective mom was just one of the things he felt the need to escape from. Living in his fathers shadow was another. Despite the danger he sets off to find his own way in life.
Sash is a spitfire. She heads up the band Splynter I loved her character and how upbeat and naive she is. When Skyping and texting means finally meeting Trey Duplei, aka Tristan "JJ" Storm, she couldn't be more ecstatic. Having him try out for the band was a bonus. They both have secrets that just may tear them and the band apart. Are they strong enough to get past them?
I'm extremely lucky to be able to read this book for review as I've discovered a new author that I can't wait to read more of. This is a coming of age tale that reminded me of the mistakes I made when I was young and how I needed that time to grow into who I am today.
If you're looking for a emotionally charged rockin' good read than this is the book for you.

OMG Lisa does it again! I absofreakinlutely loved this book! I loved seeing JJ all grown up and getting to see his family and their pov throughout the story. Lisa outdid herself with this one and I can not wait until the next one!!
This story tugged at the heart strings, had its "Oh hell no" moments along with sweet "aaahh" moments and a few teary eyed moments as well.
Fantastic, yet believable storyline, great concepts, great dialogue between characters and the description to details were done really well.
All in all, an Ubertastic read!!
This is a new book in a series and plays off the other string series but can be read as a stand alone. But I do not recommend that. To get the full effect you need to read the whole set.
Would I recommend this book? Uhh Yea!!!
Would I read more from this author? Of course!!!

January 2, 2021I. Am. So. Confused. How did this book get written by the same author who wrote the D-String series? Honestly it’s like a bunch of sentences looking for a linear thought.
Awful.
Awful.
