description

Hmm, where to start with this story. There were parts that I really enjoyed, like how Cody and Kitty learned to be with each other and how their relationship progressed, especially at that tragic time that hit the whole group pretty hard. But unfortunatelly there were also parts that I didn't like, like not at all. I despise any drug abuse and the way groupies are steriotyped. I don't care if the character is not actually using drugs or they simply are in the room where those dang drug ...more

Pure Torture is now one of my top reads not only for the rock romance genre but in general. Ms. Sparks has just put me through moments of extreme lust and extreme torture so the title is more than fitting.

Cody is the drummer for the rock band Oblivion and like the rest of the guys from the band he has lived the true rock star life so while on a short break the boys head back home to Oklahoma to see family and relax for a few days before they start up touring again. It’s been awhile and since some things seem to never change Cody is about to see something or someone who has changed beyond his imagination. (And we all can guess where that imagination can go for a rock star!) The guitarist for Oblivion, Nikki, has a family which happens to be the nucleus family for all the boys because that is where they grew up practicing their music and Nikki’s mom and dad were mom and dad to all the guys. So when little sis, Kitty, was around they all treated her like a little sister too. “Brothers” or not Kitty had always had a crush on Cody and he had been her fantasy since she first began noticing boys.

Well, well, well…little sister sure has grown up since the last time the boys were home and no one notices it more than Cody. As soon as she follows Nikki into the room after all that time little Kitty is now Kitty the sexiest most beautiful woman Cody has ever seen. As for Kitty that crush she has always had on Cody only has gotten stronger and she would like nothing more than to have a one nighter with him because even she realizes that rock stars never settle down with one girl for very long when they have groupies constantly there to take care of their every desire. That pull may be more than either of them can deal with and God knows that Nikki would kill Cody for laying a hand on his sister. But Kitty is not making it easy for Cody to resist her and he finally breaks and they have the wildest, most electrifying connection that two people could have. But they know that it just is lust and nothing more than that is attracting them…right? So this is the part that I mentioned before about “extreme lust” and boy is it some hot stuff. These two make their wildest sexual fantasies come true. It is so good that Kitty follows Cody out on tour during her break from college. They both haven’t figured it out yet that it isn’t just the sex anymore they have had their souls connect on another level neither was looking for. But all that comes crashing down when Nikki gets a phone call from home and the boys leave the tour to go back to Oklahoma for an emergency.

Now for the extreme torture part…Kitty has to decide where she is needed and how to keep this thing with Cody going. There is no way that she will be able to do what she wants to do when she believes that she is needed elsewhere. What was so devastating that brought everyone back to Oklahoma and will Kitty be able to keep Cody if she doesn’t go back out on tour with him? Do long distance relationships work when your brother is there to witness everything that may happen when the band is back on tour? Will Kitty and Cody ever realize that what they have/had was something that was felt down to their very souls?

Believe me you will have a time when your mouth drops open because you were thinking “oh, this is looking so good again and your heart is soaring” to “what the hell is this all about” and you feel your heart break right along with Kitty’s. Ms. Sparks has you laughing out loud at times to having that box of Kleenexes around because tears are coming down your face. Yes, it is intense as I said but oh so worth the emotional roller coaster that you are put on! This is one band that I can’t get enough of and can’t wait to see what Ms. Sparks has in store for me next.

Cody is the drummer of the world famous rock band Oblivion. He's enjoyed all of the perks of living the rockers life, and hasn't come close to settling down. When the band finally has a break after a long tour, they head to Oklahoma to chill out with family. Kitty is the little sister to Nikki, the guitarist, and has had a crush on Cody since she knew what a crush was. It killed her that he never noticed her because of her age, but he's in shock when he sees that she's all grown up now. Not only Cody is the drummer of the world famous rock band Oblivion. He's enjoyed all of the perks of living the rockers life, and hasn't come close to settling down. When the band finally has a break after a long tour, they head to Oklahoma to chill out with family. Kitty is the little sister to Nikki, the guitarist, and has had a crush on Cody since she knew what a crush was. It killed her that he never noticed her because of her age, but he's in shock when he sees that she's all grown up now. Not only that, he feels a strong connection to her that he cannot act on, as she is his friends little sister, so he's determined to stay away. Kitty isn't having it though and makes sure he can't ignore her, and finally convinces him to hook up. But once isn't nearly enough, so Kitty decides to go on tour with them. All of the time they spend together has feelings growing quickly. But when Kitty has to suddenly go home, will their new feelings survive the separation?

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this series, and it seems like I have been waiting FOREVER for this book to come out. Even though the wait almost killed me, I must say, it was worth it, as the author showed new levels of awesome, if possible, with Cody's story. The character development is fantastic, and with the other guys as the cast of secondaries, it's perfect. It was also awesome to see what they were up to now. Flammable chemistry EXPLODED into panty destroying sexy scene goodness that had me sweating profusely. Tania Spark's brilliant writing style had all of my dramatic girly girl emotions flying all around, and with some diabolical OMG moments that almost brought me to me knees, I found myself calling her mean names with tears streaming down my face. She never fails to transport me fully into the story, so the angst feels like it's happening to me personally. It's given her a one way ticket to the list of authors trying to kill me dead, and even though f-bombs drop everywhere while reading her amazing writing, I will never stop impatiently waiting for the next book to come out. Do yourself a solid, and check out Oblivion on Tour because I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL! ...more

I have read everything available in this series. The Oblivion guys are all really great and real. You have given them all a heart and the love to go with it. Pure torture was my favorite so far. I can actually imagine getting to spend your whole life with your childhood crush. You brought the book together perfectly. I can't wait to see what in store for Scott and Hanson.

With this third installment it's drummer Cody who steps into the spotlight with his forbidden connection to his bandmates's little sister. Theirs is a connection teeming with sexual tension from years of her trying to gain his attention and here it's finally given the attention it deserves in a combustible joining that's emotional and sprinkled with heartbreaking and frustrating moments.

Cody's the quintessential rock star in his views of the rocker lifestyle and his enjoyment of all the decadent delights offered to him. He's enjoyed many women over the years but the moment Kitty walks through the door they all fade from memory. Though he struggles with the forbidden fruit that is Kitty, he can't deny their combustible connection. It's ultimately endearing seeing him drawn to her so entirely and throughout their time together readers discover a softer and sweeter side to him. He shows a romantic and caring side to his usual jaded persona that drew me to him but left me angry over a choice he made late in the story that left his and Kitty's HEA in doubt. It's a choice that disappointed me yet added to the emotional ups and downs of this story and made it a more engaging story overall. Despite that I enjoyed his pairing with Kitty and the joy and heartbreak of their burgeoning relationship as it fully immersed me in the overall story.

Kitty has grown up to be a beautiful woman after years of being seen just as Nikki's little sister. She's always felt an attraction to Cody, but it's not until an unforgettable meeting puts them on equal footing, and thinking of the fires they could ignite, when things change. A one-night stand soon leads to more but when tragedy strikes their path to HEA becomes shadowed. Questions of keeping a long-distance love alive soon permeate the story as does Kitty's choice in where her life will lead her. Kitty's a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. That's not to say she doesn't make mistakes in her handling of their long-distance relationship. Flashes of immaturity and doubts have her bruising the tenuous connection she's made with Cody. Most importantly she's also a loyal and loving daughter, whose family is important to every member of the band, and its all these conflicts that keep readers on the edge of their seats with kleenex at hand.

This is an emotionally intense story with a few unexpected twists and turns that will leave readers screaming as well as crying. It's an engaging tale though too, full of scorching encounters and sexy banter between Kitty and Cody. Along with this memorable main couple comes an equally engaging cast of secondary characters who vividly depict the gritty and sexualized rocker lifestyle. It's a lifestyle teeming with groupies and drugs that leads to temptation and puts Kitty and Cody's HEA in doubt. Once the final page is turned though readers will feel exhausted but satisfied, despite a few flaws, counting down the days until the next installment in this steamy and angsty series! ...more
