ONE NIGHT WITH THE DRUMMER OF SUNSET REVIVAL?
Yes, I'm game.
Dani Mills, drummer of the world-famous band, Sunset Revival, doesn’t have time for romance. Touring with her bandmates across the country, she’s content with meaningless sex: one-night-stands, no kissing, no personal details. These are her rules…and there are never exceptions.

Dani Mills, 27, is the drummer in a famous band. When her cousin and bandmate fell for a girl in Kill Devil Hills, the group took a hiatus from touring and, while on the coast, ended up crashing at John Michaels’s beach mansion one night. Readers of the original Kill Devil Hills series will remember John, 33, as Sydney’s older brother, who it turns out is a bit of a recluse.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.
‘Never kiss a rockstar’ is the second book in this new adult rockstar series but can be read as a standalone. But I do think that you will have more insight in this story if you read ‘Never trust a rockstar’ first. For the readers who read the first book, they will have noticed that something was going on between Dani (the drummer of the band) and John. And ‘Never kiss a rockstar’ is their story.

Never Kiss a Rockstar, book 2 in the Rockstars in Kill Devil Hills series, should definitely be read after Never Trust a Rockstar. While I guess you could technically read it as a standalone, you’ll havea much deeper appreciation of the story if you start with the first book!
I love when the “script is flipped” so to speak, and characteristics/traits you’d usually find in the hero are now ones that the heroine possesses. Dani has no room in her life for romance or commitment, she’s happy lead ...more

Never Kiss a Rockstar was the second book in Sarah Darlington’s Rockstars in Kill Devil Hills series; also called the Never Trust series.
Although it can be read as a stand-alone, we met Dani and John previously and the plot ran simultaneously with the first book, Never Trust A Rock Star. I appreciated the insight but with a different perspective.
Dani was the drummer in the famous band, Sunset Revival. She was snarky, skeptical and avoided anything that looked like a relationship. One night stan ...more

Dani and John love story was everything I was hopping for!
I truly love Sarah Darlington's writing. The way she makes the story flow, is just fantastic.
I loved to get to know John better. He was a character from previous books that always intrigued me. And boy... he is sexy!
The way they couldn't keep their hands off of each other and how they were always understanding one another made me happy!
They both deserved to be happy and I don't think anyone else would perfect for each other. They complet ...more

This was a good contemporary romance novel!
John was a loyal, hard working guy and very sweet. He fell for Dani hard and fast.
Dani is a bit of a wild card. It is easy to tell she is falling for him but it is not easy to tell what she is going to do next.
I kept waiting for this big twist to come in the story and it never really did.

Never Kiss a Rockstar (Rockstars in Kill Devil Hill #2) by Sarah Darlington is Dani's story. If you haven't read book one please do. Dani is the drummer for the hit band Sunset Revival. The story picks up with the gang going to John Michael's house for the night when they couldn't get back to their rental property. When Dani lays eyes on John she is instantly interested in him. She doesn't mind having a one night stand with him. That is her m.o. when it comes to guys, hit it and quit it. Her one

This is a stand alone book, as are the others, but i do think that you will benefit from reading the previous book in the series, just to get a better background on all the characters.
Dani is the drummer from Sunset Rival and the moment she sees John, she knows that she wants him. What she doesn't know however, is how far she will end up breaking her rules, just for him. John makes her feel safe and the longer she ...more

This is the second book in the Never Trust series and it is Dani’s story, the female kick a** drummer of the band Sunset Revival. It picks up where the first book leaves off and everyone is back in the quaint beach town but instead of being able to return to their rental property, they all wind up going to John’s house due to the weather. John is somewhat of a loner who really does not like to be around people as he values his personal space. When Dani sees him, she is intrigued and her ...more

Sarah Darlington has once again taken us back to Kill Devil Hills in the second book of her brand new series and it feels so good to be part of this world all over again. I absolutely loved how she intertwined my favorite characters from the previous series with my favorite characters from this new series. This follow-up series (although all books can be read and enjoyed as standalones) was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

Dani and John's story is hands down amazing! I am not really into insta love and I really don't think that is what this is. It's more like insta chemistry where the other person just makes everything around you get quiet and calm to the point that you don't want to be away from them. I believe that is who John and Dani are for each other. If you are looking for a book where the wrench is thrown into the mix and that makes the characters take a break, have a fight, break up? Well this isn't that

3.5/5 I really wish that Goodreads had half star ratings.

Dani is not good with intimacy and love. She has been scarred by and incident in her past that closes her feelings off. She gets by with one night stands and a never kiss on the mouth rule. Then she meets John. John is happy being closed off and has his life how he likes it. When they meet their chemistry explodes. It’s a compelling story, but I just felt like I wanted more.

Dani is a drummer in the Sunset Revival band. When the group can't make it back to their rental, they end up staying with John for the night. Dani is instantly attracted to John. She makes a proposition of a one night stand and John's all for it. Dani is hit it and quit it with guys. John is mostly a recluse. A story with two damaged people finding they have more in common than they thought and are interested in an actual relationship. A great read and standalone but reading the first book makes

I love rockstar books and I love it when the heroine is a rockstar! Dani is the drummer of a very popular band. She doesn't do commitment, likes to have one night stands with strangers and is very guarded. John is very guarded as well. His family is not the best and only want him for what he can do for them. Dani pursues John and they both quickly become attached. I love that both the hero and heroine acknowledge how they feel without too much drama. It is easy to see why these two are perfect f

I knew from starting book 1 that this series was going to be incredible! Sarah Darlington didn’t disappoint with this one.
Omg this book was just gah so good. Finished it in A DAY! The way Sarah writes is so smooth and good. She had this way of just being able to suck you into her story and the world of these characters and it is amazing!
I was so happy to get more about John and Dani! They both are such strong characters and to get more about how they got to be the way they were was the best. I j ...more

Although the story was quite interesting, I found Dani's casual sex life a bit raunchy and dangerous. The girl has skills on the drums and is a huge part of Sunset Revival's success, but it sounds like there is some therapy in her future.

“And I don’t fuck. Period.”
"What do you mean?”
“You’re my first fuck in four years. I don’t like people, especially women. I don’t bother trying. I just don’t bother. I like my solitude. I like my life complication-free, and women are complicated.”

Dani and Johns story was perfect. She’s in the spotlight while he prefers being on the sidelines until she makes a proposal of a one night stand which he is more then happy to accept but it never really ends there lol. These two both had epic walls guarding themselves but found that without effort and complete ease each one was lowering those walls and unmasking the other and it was great to read it happening!

Stardom hasn’t made her life any easier, Dani is hiding, and she is really good at it. She has her heart so well protected, that there is no way anyone can even get close enough to get a glimpse of her real self.

I was so excited to get John and Dani’s story because in the first book we get small glimpses of them together and John is a mysterious character that I knew it was going to be good. John is a loner, he likes his solitude, his tattoo shop, and his sister that is about all because he hates attention and people in general. Dani is a world-famous drummer for a band so her life is always in the spotlight, so you don’t know how these two totally different people will work together. Dani loves the att

I really enjoyed reading this book. I love rockstar romances, and after I have read Never trust a Rockstar, I couldn't wait for the sequel.
This book is about other member of the group Sunset Revival. It is about the drummer Dani Mills who has an issue with trusting the guys, so she uses them instead. She thought that same will happen with John, the ink master, but boy was she wrong. John also had issues with people, he liked to isolate himself, but Dani somehow got under his skin pretty fast.
