There are certain things in life that always can make you happy. They vary depending on the person. For myself, there are many things but a few stand out as being the best. It is coffee, the sound of my son's laughter, the smell of rain in the Summer, and seeing a book from my favorite author on my kindle. I'm still not sure how I discovered this author but I am forever glad I did because her words always seem to soothe a part of me just when I need it even before I knew that I needed it. So no surprise when I opened this book that again the magic of Tulsa and Nikki offered Solace to my soul just when I needed it.

Where do I even begin to describe this book without giving away spoilers? I knew Tulsa was going to be special when we first met him. His relationship with his nephew, Alfie, gave me that insight. What I didn't know was how special he was. He's a big boy (literally). This is a big book. We get to see him grow in many different ways. From being the youngest brother and fighting to have his passion/music discovered to one vacillating in being more than just a typical rockstar with a plethora of nameless groupies to choose from. I loved watching him grow into himself amidst wrestling with a few demons that appeared from his past.

Nikki. Good lord, this girl was so much more than a beauty queen face. I enjoyed watching her grow and blossom into the person she was destined to be. I loved the slow burn of watching these two discover each other without judgement. There were no pretenses but instead two friends that allowed love to grow from there.

In typical fashion, this author created a story and characters that sucked the audience in. From the first word I became immersed in the lives of the Crow brothers and the Faris family. There were laughs. There were moments that my heart melted. There were moments I fanned myself ( I might have had to check to make sure my iPad wasn't overheating). Finally, there were just moments when I found myself wishing that these characters were real.

I'm pretty positive that this author doesn't know how to write a bad leading man or his equally lovable female counterpart. Every time I tell myself that I cannot possibly love them more than the previous book. And every time I am wrong. EVERY. TIME. So I will just say again that Tulsa is my favorite of this author's leading men.... Until next time. I cannot wait for Rivers.

As always, I am forever thankful for finding this author. Her words make my world a better place. I know she is a bundle of nerves right now wondering how people are going to react to her work. She always is on every new book. I just need her to know that in typical fashion, she knocked this one out of the park (very much like her Houston Astros). I am proud to be #ForeverAScottie ( )

Tulsa brings you the story of not one, but 2 rockstars! Now, full disclosure, I'm not really a fan of the rockstar romances. I think rockstars tend to be major douchebags and I just get irritated waiting for them to get over themselves. But, I love SL Scott, so I wasn't going to pass up Tulsa.

Tulsa is the drummer in brother band, The Crows. Nicki Faris is the lead singer of her sibling band, The Faris Wheel. I think both of them being rockstars made me more okay with the rockstar romance. Tulsa isn't exactly a sweet guy looking for love. But, he is hot and Nicki gets the #TulsaHaze around him. There certainly is a LOT of lust.

As these two fight the lust, they get to know each other more. They are on tour together so there is LOTS of time! But, neither wants to jeopardize their siblings and the bands' chance at success. Nicki is fierce though, so she is a good ying to Tulsa's yang! There are some light moments where Scott gives us some laughs, but there is some heavy emotional moments as well. I didn't expect to swoon over Tulsa but he totally made me fall. Boop (you will understand when you read it!)

If you aren't a rockstar romance fan, give this series a try. Honestly, Scott makes the rockstar romance work for me. Tulsa will totally win you over and now I am going to go back and read book 1 in the series, Spark, about his brother! ( )

Three rock bands in different stages of their careers - one The Resistance, an established group & fan favorites, one The Crow Brothers, with their first album out & riding high on the charts & the third, Faris Wheel is finishing up their album but already with a fan base. What can happen when they are all on tour together? Tulsa is the youngest Crow brother & has always been a one time & done guy. He's never taken a girl home & makes sure they know that's all it will be. Until he sees her.

Nikki is the lead singer for Faris Wheel, a band made up of her cousin, her brother & her. She's focused on her career & making it big. After a disastrous romance, she's had it with guys. Her ex was possessive & arrogant. She's determined to avoid that type of relationship from now on. Until she sees him.

Everything is against them. They are both in family bands. The tour is just starting. Neither of them are thinking forever. Fame, groupies & press will interfere. Events from their pasts come to light. Do they have a chance?

This is the second book in this series. The first was Jet & Hannah's story. I feel this can be read as a stand alone. You do miss a little background but each story is self-contained. These characters are wonderful & well defined. The description of Tulsa from the beginning had me picturing a typical rock star playboy who thought he could get away with everything. Both main characters are damaged in their own way. Tulsa's alcoholic father left when he was a toddler & his mother died when he was in high school. He leaves first so the women can't leave him.Nikki is scarred mentally & physically from her time in an abusive relationship. She doesn't trust her judgement anymore. I loved seeing how this relationship was different from the beginning for them & how it grew while they were on tour together. I can't wait for Rivers' story! ( )

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author. Thank you Susie for another great book. Guys you can't help but fall in love with Tulsa. OMG , sorry girls but he is mine. Tulsa and Nikki are forbidden to act on their attraction, but do they listen?? Well read it and find out, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. ENJOY!!! ( )
