Boring.... So boring...
Boring.... So boring...
I usually love a rockstar romance but this was very disappointing. I didn't really warm to any of the characters and the story itself was non existent. It was a boring read and I struggled to finish it but when I got to the end it just stopped abruptly. The whole thing was dragged out but then the reveal of the romance between the couple to the media was very rushed and crammed into one chapter. I won't be reading the rest of the series.

Rocking Standby by Cassandra Lawson really has the perfect title to describe the two leading characters . It was my first book by this author and I liked her writing style. The characters she created are another thing.
Gage is a great person – actually almost to sweet and caring (leaving out his one slip when he went out all a**hole- but yeah I mean it was because he cared so much for his brother) …
Bentley on the other hand is a super confusing character. She was super reluctant on one side and ...more

An enjoyable read! Low drama and a little slow burn for my tastes, looking forward to the next instalment.
Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
A ROCKIN', SEXY, SIZZLING, ROMANCE FROM CASSANDRA LAWSON! Rocking Standby is the newest book from Miss Lawson and I have to admit, this one was downright RIVETING. The few rock star Romances I have read in the past, I enjoyed, but this one had good heart, wickedly HOT sex, fabulous characters, and passionate romance.

I finished Rocking Standby last Friday night and my only criticism is "why do i have to wait 3 months or more for Piper and Austin?" This book is so good; SO very, very good. I'm not normally big on rocker books but if the ones I haven't read are anything like yours, I'm missing out. I LOVED this book.
Bentley is such a wondrous character in knowing her flaws, being affected by her past and yet wanting to try and grow past it. Gage also was flawed but grows. The rest of the band are so fun that I ...more

Gage is a up and coming rock star and is on standby trying to get to his mother who seems to be in a panic about something. I'm sat next to someone sweet but then find out she is deceitful and a gold digger. Bentley lost the phone number of the sweet guy she met on the flight and she was considering going out with him but she was so wrong - he's a lead guitarist of a rock group (and she doesn't date musicians) plus when they meet by chance calls her a gold digging whore! OMG - he might be hot as

I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest review. I like Cassandra Lawson’s writing and I really enjoyed this book. I particularly liked that Delaney (from Sultry at 30) made an appearance, because she was my favorite character in that series. True to form, she was outrageously inappropriate and seems to function without a social filter. I really love her!
Bentley and Gage were a great couple, the conflict between them unexpected - there wasn't really any question they'd end up together. Of co ...more

This caught my attention because of promising arrogance will be the one that gets seduced. Gage thinks he is all that and more until a event causes him to meet more than his match. When Bently finds out just what is what she too gets in a sniff. Well the fun of two personalities like these guys is seeing the crumbling that happens before your eyes. Chemistry that builds will begin a slow boil that when gently kneaded rises on occasion. There are also others that will round this off to be a read

There is something about Gage and Bentley... Sometimes I think some authors are given a bit of magic. How else could they make characters that grab us and give us all the feels! There is no question that Cassandra Lawson has it!
Gage and Bentley are a couple that did had me at first conversation.
The banter between these two is so endearing. I love a book that can make me laugh out loud, want to smack the couple to wake up and see what is in front of you, and feel invested in the characters. Cas ...more

Gage is flying last minute to Portland to see his mom, but the only thing his manager could get him is standby. He doesn't care. He just needs to get there. What he doesn't expect is the woman sitting next to him on the plane. He has never met a woman with a car name before. Bentley is coming back early from her trip when a man named Gage is seated ext to her on the flight back home to the Bay area. He won't tell her what he does, but she enjoys talking to him anyways. What happens when they go

After reading this, I thought to myself....this is totally possible... and I like a book that could actually happen. Gage is a musician who needs to get on a flight to see his mother, but his assistant could only get him a stand-by ticket.. this ticket lands him in a seat next to Bentley. They hit it off and he leaves her with his phone number and a swift but sweet kiss.

Not your typical rock star book. Instead of focusing on the band and touring, this story is more personal. Rocking Standby is about the lead guitarist of Reckless Release and his quest for love. Gage Addison meets Bentley on a plane and after a misunderstanding they meet again. Unable to deny their attraction, they decide to have one night of unbridled passion. But one night will never be enough. A well-written sweet, rocker romance.
I enjoyed this one! They met by chance and then everything was wrong. Bentley did not date rockstars. Gage could not believe she was with her brother. But why couldn’t they stay away from each other? I enjoyed their chemistry and their story on their way to a HEA. Add in the supporting characters like the guys in the band and Bentley’s family and you have a story I did not want to put down.
Loved this one! This was not the typical rock star romance. It was personal focused on the main characters Gage & Bentley their struggle to be a couple. Their chemistry is great. Love the down to earth way all the characters are in this story. I can’t wait to see what else Cassandra has in store for the crew of Reckless Release!
I purchased this book as a way to become familiar with the author. I try and read at least one book by each author participating in a signing. I am so glad that I did. I will be reading more.
4 STARS FOR ROCKING STANDBY!! This was a good book with great characters that keeps you turning pages. I enjoyed Gage and Bentley's story, they had challenges to get through and some were difficult. This was my first book by Cassandra Lawson and I can't wait to read more by her.

My first Cassandra Lawson book, loved it, already downloaded the next one.
Fun, flirty, sexy, steamy and plenty of great characters to keep me completely entertained. Gage and his bandmates are the up and coming band, Reckless Release and this is his story.
Bentley is the woman that he can't forget after she charms him while being seatmates on a short flight to visit his mom, while she is heading home to another city. Right person, wrong time? What could happen between them when their paths woul ...more

I love this story for its sense of ,normalcy, it is very believable and it makes me feel like this is something that could really happen. The fact that Cage is a it of a 'bad-boy' good guy is, of course, a very helpful thing to enjoy reading the whole yum-able story. Bentley on the other hand is different, she is not your average heroin of the story, she is honest and too the point and can admit when she was wrong, she is down to earth and loves a laugh so you can see her as your best friend and

A good contemporary romance with a hero is an up and coming rockstar. This is not a rockstar romance, as we see little of that side.
Man meets woman on plane and they are attracted to each other and they makes plans to meet again. Woman has man’s contact info. On her phone which is soon stolen. Thru some coincidental circumstances they meet again and almost dislike each other. Everything resolved itself and they realize that they love each other. We meet the other band members who apparently get ...more

Gage met Bentley on a standby flight to Portland and he couldn’t stop thinking of her. I loved that he lived in LA and she lived in the Bay Area but he was going to come back from Portland and see her. Then all hell broke lose when she was in a tabloid magazine holding hands with his brother! It’s a really great story and I couldn’t put it down. I would have given five stars but the ending although good wasn’t great. I still recommend this read. Can’t wait to read about Piper and Austen.
DNF. It got to be too tedious to read all about the conversations between characters, and inner thoughts for the two MCs. Didn't really feel the chemistry between them, either. The hero's mother with her mental illness was just odd, too.

Lovely Love Story
This was a delightful rock star story to read. Intense moments at times, with very down ro earth issues brought up within the main story line. I can hardly wait to hear more about the other band members and their journeys towards love. Good Stuff!
