Author: Scarlett Cole
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Release Date: May 3rd, 2016
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press
Synopsis:
Can a love built on secrets survive?
Rugged, hot, and rock hard, Dred Zander is exactly the type of man that normally sends Pixie running.
Not dreaming about running her hands down his washboard abs...and lower. The lead singer and guitarist for the band Preload embodies trouble behind his quick smile and guarded eyes, and Pixie left trouble behind her years ago along with the name Sarah Jane Travers and the pathetic trailer her mom called home. With her abusive past in her past, she has a new life, a new family at Second Circle, and a dream of opening her own business. She needs capital and time. What she doesn't need is a tempting long-haired rocker or the paparazzi that follow him around.
But Dred has other ideas. Pixie's sweet hazel eyes, purple hair and kaleidoscopic tattoo of exotic flowers that swirl up her arm haunt his dreams, and he knows she wants him too. He just has to convince her. But as a juicy exposé threatens to expose their pasts, and a blackmailer terrorizes their present, Pixie and Dred have to decide what really matters and fight like hell to keep it.
MY REVIEW
The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole is another winner in
her series about tattooed hotties. Although this can be read as a standalone
book I would recommend reading the other books in the series because they are
really good and it helps to provide context for the characters. She switches
gears by focusing on Pixie, who we’ve met before as the lovable and insightful
assistant and all around problem solver. She is quirky and interesting with a
history that will break your heart and make you want to help solve all her
problems.
Enter Dred Zander, the musician who she shouldn’t have
anything to do with but can’t seem to stay away from. Dred has his own
problems, and although he seems immature in the beginning I loved watching the growth
in him and seeing him take charge and take care of his responsibilities. This
book was another winner for me, with interesting characters that made me want
more of them, and an intriguing storyline that kept me reading until the very
end. I like that Ms. Cole does a really good job of balancing reality and
fiction, and her books always seem to hit the nail on the head. I cannot wait
to read what else she has in store for us.
Excerpt:
Pyrotechnics went off all the way around the stage as the crowd screamed and cheered. He
hugged each of the guys, then ran off the stage to pull Pixie from Harper and Drea. The break
between the end of the act and the encore was approximately four minutes, and he had plans to
use them wisely.
Pixie looked at him, her eyes wide in shock as he grabbed her hand.
“Quick,” he said to her, tugging her down the stage steps. There was no way he could make
it back to his dressing room in time, so he hurried them along the black curtain that surrounded
the stage into a darkened corner. He pushed her gently against the wall, trapping her in his
arms.
“Watching you watch me, Pix . . . drove me crazy. You going to let me kiss you?” he begged.
“Please.”
Pixie looked at him and put a hand against his cheek. “Yes.”
He slid both hands into her hair and pressed his mouth against hers. Energized from the
performance, Dred struggled to rein in the need to kiss her fiercely. When he heard her groan,
felt her lift up on her toes to loop her arms around his neck, he was done for. She was more
than he’d dreamed of, and he’d dreamed a hell of a fucking lot. And yet none of his half-asleep
fantasies could match the emotions currently blazing through him. Her tongue tentatively
brushed against his so gently it was almost innocent. Well, as innocent as it could be when what
he really wanted to do was take her against this black curtain.
It was fucking heaven.
He slid his hands down her body. Pixie giggled when he gripped her waist to pull her close.
Ticklish. He’d have to remember that.
Not that he wanted to, but he needed to get back onstage. Fucking encore. He kissed her
one more time, tasted the whiskey he’d given her earlier. The telltale thump of Lennon’s bass
drum started to sound. He pulled back, willing his hard-on to take it down a notch before he got
back onstage.
“That was quite the kiss,” Pixie said shyly.
He took her hand and led her back to the stage, positioning her right where she had been. It
was impossible to resist kissing her again, and he grinned when Trent raised an eyebrow in his
direction.
“Agreed. As beginnings go, Pix, it was pretty fucking epic,” he said with a wink, and walked
back onto the stage to face the screaming fans.
