Rock Star Steve Mitchem has it all. Fans adore him, and he beds any woman he wants. But he's never forgotten the small-town girl he left behind in Oklahoma. He can't believe his luck when he spots her one night in the front row of his concert. He takes her to his house in Malibu where things heat up quicker than his hot tub.
Julie Ray moved to Los Angeles to become a model. Her good looks landed her a few jobs, but she's spent more time working as a waitress just to pay the bills. When she attends a concert to see her old friend perform, she is surprised when he recognizes her. She'd do anything to bed her old flame, even if it means leaving her heart behind.
Blue Steel Hearts was a short novella. Given that there wasn't much time to connect with the characters, it diminishes a little of the story for me. However, I always appreciate a second chance romance. When rockstar, Steve Mitchem sees "the one who got away," Julie Ray, in the front row of his concert, he can't believe his luck. After the show, he has her brought backstage. From that point on, it's insta-love for them both. The remainder of the book is various steamy sex scenes and then a quick fast forward to their future together. I have to give Ms. Lyn credit - - she managed to squeeze quite a bit into thirty-five pages.

This is a very short story that has two women going to a rock concert because Julie Ray won front row tickets. She knew where the lead singer grew up. That is because she grew up in the same town as well and went to the same school. Now they are both in Los Angeles she just is working as a waitress because she cannot get any modeling jobs. When Steven Mitchem sees her in the front row he works out to have her and her friend brought backstage. Once they reconnect both want to spend the night together. Read this fast story but with some steamy scenes and see what happens. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com

This is a short and steamy read. It was so quick, the second-chance romance trope didn’t bother me that much. Enjoyable for a quick distraction. I’ll definitely be looking for full books from this author. **I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review. This short novella tells the story of Julie and Steve, they were each others "One that got away" Steve became a rockstar and Julie a waitress and model. They reconnect and the rest as they say is history. This story seemed to rushed for me even as a novella. There didn't seem to be enough time for the characters to adjust to the changes in their lives. Additionally, since this book takes place in the 1960's some of the slang was difficult to take seriously.
This may not be a fair review because I did know going into it that this book was only 35 pages long. A high school crush that left his girl behind after a kiss only to make it big in the rock scene. She goes to his concert and they reconnect. This would be great if it was a novella that gave more depth into the characters and storyline.
Short book filled with lots of steam! Steve left his home town behind to pursue his singing dream. But he never forgot the girl he left behind. When Julie shows up at his concert and their eyes meet, well lets just say the sparks are still burning strong. Quick read with a lot of passion. I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Looking for a quick steamy read pick this up. Short and sweet with a happy ending that everyone will love. Only for 18+ Apart from misspelled words, way to may words for penis stick with one or too. A quick and easy read if you only have an hour or so to yourself. Thanks to Netgalley/Eve Lyn/The Wild Rose Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Can a rockstar reunite with the girl he’s never forgotten? Blue Steel Hearts is an erotic vintage rockstar romance novella I truly loved. It’s a second chance rockstar romance with all the emotion and sexy times you’d expect with a few surprises. This novella is brilliantly written with engaging characters, alluring narration, and of course plenty of heat. The only downfall for me is I wanted it to be longer so I could see what Steve and Julie experienced next.
For me, this book is all about the characters. Steve and Julie are perfect for each other, yet they never got the chance to explore their feelings. Until now. I connected with this couple on so many levels. Steve isn’t cocky which I relished. Julie is your average woman, think girl next door all grown up. Both let their emotions take over then explore each other.
The emotional narration captivates the reader and pulls them into the story. Both POVs are filled with emotional inner dialogue. It was not overly done which speaks of the author’s restraint. A perfect balance of emotions.
The romance unfolds naturally even though it’s a novella. Its realistic flow adds depth to the story. The romance is hot and oh so satisfying. The ending made me smile.
If you’re looking for a rockstar romance with heat, pick up Blue Steel Hearts. I can’t wait to read more from Eve Lyn. Highly recommend!
3.5 stars A very steamy short story that i would have liked to read much more. It has so much potential if the story goes beyond the short description or fast forward pace. The characters are lovely and i am always up for a second chance at love, especially for those that missed theirs in college just to take upon their jobs or dreams and met after years more mature and ready to settle down. I'll look for other stories by the author and really hope it will be a novel-length the next one.
Steve is a rock star who never forgot his high school crush. And who is in the front row of his concert tonight ... that’s right, Julie the woman of his dreams. He’s not letting her get away this time around.
This is a very short read with lots of steam! The story that was there was good, but it had so much more potential. I love a rock star romance and the second chance aspect just added to the story!
