Grace Thompson didn’t want a student teacher. And she sure as hell didn’t want it to be Levi Mondez.

Let’s just say they got off to a rocky start.

To be fair, it wasn’t entirely her fault. How was she to know he was also the lead singer of local rock band, Mondez? How was she to know he got off on her short temper? And how was she to know her best friend, Riley would fall ...more

I must be feeling a little generous giving this 4STARS where I felt conflicted between 3 or 4.

Honest to who this story had me rolling my eyes and LOL cause you need to meet Grace. She's feisty and she has character which I enjoyed but felt at times a little annoying. Now Levi omg hot rocker (again) yet he's so sweet but not your typical manwhore rockstar.

I liked it and it's worth it and having a BFF and brother just makes it more funnier, and this is why I rated it as I see it. ...more

I was sucked into the story, I found it well written. Better than some of the debut books that have hit the market in the past several months. Her characters are developed and although there were times I wanted to smack Grace, I really enjoyed the storyline and the banter between the two main characters. I loved the fact that this story takes place outside of the US and that the author kept with the wording and dialect of her Australian characters.

Grace Thompson has had a rough past year to say the least. Losing her father has to be the hardest challenge in her life. To top it all off her boyfriend at the time of her father's passing dumps her via text message. The only thing that kept her going was her best friend Riley. Grace has grown cold with the world. The once happy, vibrant, outgoing girl is gone and in her place is "Bitch Grace." Queen of the comebacks and snide remarks has made her tough to get along with. One last ditch effort by her roommate and bff has Grace at The Hole, where Riley wants to listen to a local band play and see a guy that she has the hots for. When Riley introduces Grace to Levi, vocalist and frontman for Mondez, an up and coming local rock band.

Levi Mondez seems to have it all together. Studying secondary education and singing for his band. He is sex on a stick. Tall, sexy, handsome as hell and oh so sweet. And a voice that has panties dropping as soon as he hits the stage. When he meets Grace at the last show he and his band will have for several months, he can't help the undeniable attraction that he has toward her. He sarcastic, mouthy attitude gets him going. The more she tries to push him away the harder he fights back. Challenge accepted. He is determined to find out just who hurt her and made her outlook on the world so bleak.

Holy crap! The banter between these two is hysterical at times. Levi dishes every snarky comment right back at Grace and then she comes right back at him again. There is no denying the chemistry between the two of them. If you can't feel it from their first meeting then you need to start over or put the book down...lol Rock My World is a relatively quick read. I loved the secondary characters and this story would not be complete without Riley and Dom. I look forward to reading what comes next in this series.

I really have a thing for rock romance, as Lee Piper gave me an original, and highly entertaining on with Rock My World. Grace hasn't been having an easy time lately, and it's made her a bit bitter. Levi is the lead singer of a local rock band, Mondez, who loves to get Grace going. So of course, they get off to a rocky start. Grace is a feisty girl who entertained the hell out of me, even when I thought she was a bit over the top. Levi is a refreshing rocker, as he's sweet, and not the typical m ...more

Loved it. Grace and Levi are rather epic together. Lee Piper has written a wicked story that I just couldn't put down. It was so extremely well written that I was even in tears a few times and to that I congratulate the author, because if you can get me so engaged in your story, well done in deed.

Like Levi and Grace, we all have lived through moments in our lives that we cherish fondly or would rather forget entirely. Some of us plaster a smile on our face and continue living as if it's our last day. Some of us turn to a coping device (such as liquor) to just get through a single day. For those who turn to the bottle, like Grace, you soon realize you must face your fears because alcohol solves nothing. It only compounds the problem.

Grace, at times, appeared to have a drinking problem. She turned to it often and I wished Levi would've called her on it. Not that he didn't call her out regarding other things. Grace was scared --- scared of feeling anything anymore after she lost key people in her life.

When life keeps dealing you a rotten hand, it is easy to fall into a self-hating role. Lets face it, Grace was a B!TCH for quite a bit of this story. However, her actions were a mode of self-preservation. I saw that and Levi most definitely saw that too. That's why he never gave up on her. It's why he kept trying to bring some joy, laughter back into her life. Just wait until you read his texts during the conference. You'll laugh out loud one minute and then say Oh baby the next. Levi was a sweet, sexy, dirty talking musician with a heart as big as his penis.

In summation............

Lee Piper showed us the strength it takes to love someone who is broken and the mental struggle a person battles to just let it all go and live again. Not an easy task, as a real person or as a author writing about imaginary people. To have a reader actually feel a character's emotions, feel their pain as your own is a challenging feat BUT Lee conquered this task.

Whether she was focusing on Levi's past, Grace's ghosts or delivering us some sizzlin' sex scenes, the reader will not walk away emotionless. They'll demand a happy ending and will be rewarded with one, too. Of course, it won't happen until a little more drama occurs. Ah, such is life. Always an adventure! ;-)

On a final note: I love Dom (Levis's brother) and Riley (Grace's BFF). I can't wait to find out what Riley was about to confess to Grace before they were interrupted. I just bet it's a juicy secret!! Maybe they are doing the horizontal polka.

“I knew from the moment I first stared into those laughing blue eyes of his that there was something between us neither one could deny.”

Grace Thompson has trust issues. She doesn’t trust herself or men, in general, after being burnt by an ex-boyfriend. She has also family issues. She’s snarky and smart-mouthed – a tough nut to crack. When she meets sexy rocker, Levi Mondez, in a club one night, she’s completely thrown by the electric attraction between them.

Grace Thompson has trust issues. She doesn’t trust herself or men, in general, after being burnt by an ex-boyfriend. She has also family issues. She’s snarky and smart-mouthed – a tough nut to crack. When she meets sexy rocker, Levi Mondez, in a club one night, she’s completely thrown by the electric attraction between them. However, he’s off limits, as her best friend in the whole world, Riley, fancies him.

“Life well and truly sucked when the one muscular thing you wanted, was the one muscular thing you couldn’t have.”

Levi Mondez is unbelievably sexy and upfront about his desire for Grace. He tries to tell Grace that Riley isn’t interested him, but Grace knows her friend. She keeps trying to push Levi away, but he’s persistent. When work circumstances throw them together, she’s beside herself, as she realises that her attraction is serious, and she has no idea how she’s going to cope working with him, especially when they get sent away to a work conference together. She wants to be loyal to her best friend but Levi is something of a force to be reckoned with, and her libido around him is off the charts.

For me, this was a reasonable read. I’ll be honest and say that I found Grace somewhat annoying – she was such an angry person and had major trust issues, and often just comes off as petulant and bitchy. The story was told completely from her POV and we get lots of flashbacks to the past, which explains her psychology, but I found it hard to emphasise with her.

Levi was incredibly patient with her - it felt like he was doing all the hard work in trying to make their relationship work. He found her frustrating but he felt so much for her and battled hard to make her see that there was something real between, even on such short acquaintance.

Both characters had something of a painful past each, but even after baring their souls to one another, Grace was still hard work. I really wanted her to fight harder for him!

What I liked about this novel was that there was a real connection between the main characters, even though Grace tried to constantly sabotage their relationship. The chemistry between them was amazing. I also liked that Grace had a such a strong relationship with her bestie, Riley, and loved her enough to try and keep Levi at bay. The conclusion was satisfactory with a lead into Riley’s book.

I struggled while reading this story. I was actually very close to marking this as a ‘did not finish.’ I am however, glad that I persevered. The second half of the book and ending is just perfection.

I found Grace, our main female character, very abrasive at the beginning of the story. That was until we finally learned what she has been through, what preciously has structured her evolution from young happy woman to a brash, sarcastic, foul mouthe ...more

Not a run of the mill rock star romance

I loved Grace and her snarky attitude as I love intelligent, sassy yet vulnerable heroines and Levi is nicely done as well as the sexy up-and-coming rock god who also enjoys Grace's snark. Their banter is a lot of fun and they have great chemistry together. There are also some interesting secondary characters and I was intrigued by the glimpses we got of Riley and Dom (their story is coming in book 2).

So then she meets the hot and smooth talking Levi, Grace can help help but turn into brash and unforgiving Grace, too hurt by everything in the world, her feisty attitude comes out to play and I think that's what Levi likes about Grace and she a challenge.

Levi and Grace, these two have the kind of relationship that you will consider as challenging or exhausting. I like their story, don't get me wrong, but there will come a point that you will find them toxic together. Add to that Grace's abrasive personality that you just can't find her endearing, if not for those bits of instances that will make her likeable, at least.

The best part of the story is the set-up of how Grace meets Levi. The student/mentor teacher aspect is set up great! It keeps you engaged with both of the main characters. There are a few twists that will grab you by the half-way mark.

Watching the transformation of Grace was a little shaky for me. I liked her character and how she would get up the hill and start rolling back down. You will yell at the kindle on this aspect for sure. The steamy factors are pretty good too!
