Good HEA ending but the rest was just meh. With several inconsistancies in the story and also some weird jumping around from character to character and also different time frames for those characters I'm going to give it a 2.25

I remember the time when radio and disc jockeys were a big part of the music world, the time when you heard the newest up and coming hit from your favorite DJ, and Lisa Wainland captures that wonderfully in Rock Radio. That said, I felt like this story wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be. Blended genres can work, but there were times when I felt like I was reading two completely separate stories. Dana and Jonny's storylines do intersect, but most of the time it's in passing with a quick conve

Rock Radio is told in third person with 4 different POVs, so it was hard at first to keep up, but once I did, I was off and running. There's Dana Drew, the sweet DJ who wants real love, not that fake crap that comes her way more often than not because of her DJ status. Things seem to be looking up on the love front with Cody Blue. He's a singer for a rock band, with a big heart & terrible past. That past could knock them out before they ever really get started if revealed. Next up is the doucheb

Rock Radio is told in the third person from four different points of view. That being said, it was easy to follow along, I never felt like I was lost. The characters are well developed. We get their past, present and eventually their future 😉.

This story follows the lives of two disk jockeys from a Florida radio station. Dana Drew is looking for love with a man that will see her for more than her music personality. She finds it with Cody Blue, a rock singer and sweet guy with a terrible past. She also has a creepy stalker that is determined to get her no matter the cost. Johnny Rock is another disc jockey at the station. He has a wife, cheats with young interns and is good friends with Dana. He has it all but may lose it when his side

This is a unique and complex storyline, with DJ Dana, and up and coming lead singer of a band, Cody, and well as a married DJ Jonny, who is risking everything by having an affair with intern, Heather. This is a good story which is fast paced and intriguing. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Rock Radio started off really slow for me, mostly due to all the different character POV’s. For this reason, I found this book difficult to follow at times. We meet DJ Jonny Rock, growing up as a big geek and turning to a hot, sexy, trimmed in all the right ways that women love, and is married to the same woman for years. He ends up in a situation less than ideal that involves him cheating. I was totally irked throughout the book with the attitude Jonny portrays as “I am to big for my britches”.

I won this book and received it a couple of days ago. Thank you LIsa! I finally had a chance to start reading it last night. 2:oo A.M. and I realized I had to put it down and go to bed. Didn't want to.
Its a story you just want to keep finding out what will happen next. The two main characters, Dana and Cody, find true love with each other. The background stories of all the characters in this book are so well written.

I love books with sexy rock bands and this one didn't disappoint. I loved the characters especially Cody, I wanted to hug him as a kid and make it all better. I thought the writer captured his pain perfectly (loved the detail in his background) and his passion for his band, love of his life and life itself. I enjoyed Dana's character too, she's a sweet girl with a awesome on air personality but wants to love and to be loved. Those two together are prefect. Jonny I hated (I'm sick of cheating par

Really fantastic book. Lives of some people at a rock station mainly Dana Drew female dj and then Jonny Rock another dj. Follow their lives and the drama, love and mishaps. Also upcoming rock person Cody Blue into Dana's life with the telling of his past and present. One of them has a stalker and at the end things get alittle hairy. Growing up during a time when radio was a big deal really could relate when reading this book. Hope she writes more books would definitely read them. She knows how t

I don’t want to say anything else about the story beyond the description, because I don’t want to give anything away. This book will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. Lisa captures the readers attention, and takes them down a rabbit hole of music, secrets, lies, and betrayal. She brings you into the story and makes you develop a relationship with her characters, so you feel like they are your friends or enemies. If you live books with music, rock n’ roll,

A rock star on the rise, a cheating dj and a rock princess looking for love. Rock Radio takes you into the world of radio by weaving a story of love, lust and deceit. The rock star image and on air personas are a mask for three lives complicated by mistresses, troubled pasts and heartbreak. A chilling stalker adds an edge-of-your-seat element to this rock romance. I found myself completely involved in the characters lives. It is a definite page turner that will leave you wanting more.
This book was very interesting. It held me from page on. It was an easy read, and one that kept me coming back for more!! It was hard to put down, but when I did, I did not have to read half of the previous chapter in order to remember where I was! I like that the characters are relate able, and reachable. I consider this book a keeper, and will tell others in my life that it is a good read. I feel good about being able to recommend it to Goodreads readers. Well worth the read! :)
After reading the synopsis, I thought this book would focus on Cody and Dana's relationship which is complicated by a stalker. What I got were two story lines, one about a married DJ screwing around with an intern and the Cody/Dana storyline. The book was well written, though I thought the ending was a bit rushed. I might have enjoyed it more the synopsis was a bit more accurate and included a hint at the Jonny Rock story line was such a large part of the book

Cute and fast read. I loved all the characters and thought it moved along at a great pace. This would be a great beach read.
I do think that the build up was really long and I would have liked to have had a bit more of Cody and Dana's story and a little less of Jonny/Jill/Heather. I did like the way the author was able to keep all the story lines going, clear, and mixed together.. ...more

When they introduced the characters in the beginning, I could not figure how they were all connected. Bit once you are about 15 percent into the book, it all starts to make sense. I loved the way this book was put together and enjoyed the entire book. Well worth the read, but you have to give it a little time understanding the characters.

If you are looking for a fun, light book to get lost in this is it! Romance, heartbreak, secrets, rock and roll…Rock Radio has it all. The story is fast paced, exciting and transitions smoothly between the characters, bringing it all together for a thrilling ending. I could not put it down!!
Fast moving rock and roll romance ...
Finally, an original rock and roll romance with a strong female protagonist and a musician that's not a bad boy millionaire, with subplots beyond the 'boy meets broken girl and rocks her world' story line.
Very well written too! Five stars. ...more

A good, fun read. I was entertained. Could have used more details on the sexual side, it was very tame. But I really liked the story!
