Fallen For Rock by Nicky Wells *ON SALE NOW!!* GIVEAWAY*



Blurb

Fallen For Rock
‘A thrilling and delicious story of love and self-discovery woven around a broken romance that will make you turn page after page and cheer to the end.’

Love, life, loyalties. Nothing stays the same when Emily gets drawn into the world of rock.

Glossy and sophisticated professional high-flyer Emily has no time for nonsense such as the rock music her ex-boyfriend Nate adored so much. Yet when she unexpectedly comes into possession of VIP tickets—access all areas—for new rock band phenomenon, MonX, she can’t resist the temptation.

The fateful gig turns into more than one night, and Emily finds herself strangely drawn to this new and unfamiliar glittery world. However, only weeks later, MonX and her own universe fall apart with devastating consequences for all. When MonX lead singer Mike appeals for her help, she reluctantly embraces a new opportunity. But she soon discovers that while she may be a rock chick after all, a groupie she is not… Or is she?

Just exactly where do her loyalties lie? And what direction will her life take now that she’s left behind everything she treasured?


My Review

Author Nicky Wells has done it again. Her books just keep getting better and better! I re-read Fallen For Rock and let me tell you, I fell more and more in love with it each time. It was a beautiful book from the beginning all the way to the end. The writing was fantastic and exquisite as always, just like the plot. I enjoy seeing how Nicky can take any plot and make it her own and in such an outstanding way. Her characters seem so real that as a reader you feel like you can relate with them.
     One of my favorite characters was Mike I fell for him! And I bet I am not the only one. He was sweet, loving, and caring. He loved Emily but I think he kind of knew that it wasn't going to go anywhere with her cause she was madly in love with Nate. To be honest I was secretly rooting for her and Mike. 
    Nate didn't make that many "appearances" although he was mentioned throughout the book a lot. But I do kind of wish we could have gotten to know him more. But he was a great character as well, Emily was meant to be with him. 
    Emily gosh how I wish I was her, she got to tour with a band! That is one of the coolest things ever. Something that has always been on my bucket list is to be friends with someone in a band.  I'm sure pretty much everyone at some point wishes they could be a groupie or in a touring band. Who wouldn't want that. 
This book was great I have to admit there were some parts where I nearly cried a river, I felt so bad for Emily and how much she wanted to work things out with Nate so yeah I nearly cried. I really loved this book.

Fallen for Rock is now available in e-book and paperback editions! Hooray! Get your copy here:

Guest Post

Proudly introducing: Mike Loud, rock guitarist and “I’m hell to live with” lead singer in Fallen for Rock

Welcome, Mike, and thanks for taking the time to chat with me today. How are you?
I’m fine, thanks so much for having me. It’s a bit early in the day, so please nudge me if seem a bit spaced out. And thanks for the extra strong coffee!

Late night recording, was it?
Absolutely. We didn’t leave the studio until four in the morning. That’s like…five hours ago.

Goodness. I’m doubly honoured that you made it, then.
Wouldn’t have missed it for the world, chick.

I’m very glad to hear that you’re back recording again. It was all a bit touch and go after the MonX break up for a while, wasn’t it?
Well. *coughs* You could say that. We didn’t part on the most amicable of terms.

You’ve been keeping very quiet about what happened. You never gave a statement to the press at the time, but you did reveal all to Nicky Wells for her latest novel, Fallen for Rock. How come?
Technically, I didn’t reveal anything to anyone. Nicky was primarily chatting with Emily, and Emily shared what I’d told her. Obviously I met Nicky a few times as well, and I read the whole book before it ever went to print…

You did?
Of course I did. I’m a fast reader. I’m not adverse to a bit of romance, although it was a little strange seeing… um… well… some of Emily and my… physical encounters…rendered on the page. In written words. Not that I’m a prude or anything. It was just odd to read that stuff about me.

Ha! I bet. So what happened with MonX?
*Mike grins* You’ll have to read the book for the gory details. I swear I was innocent, really.

Tell me about the book. How does it feel to be not only a rock star but also a romantic hero?
A romantic hero, crikey! *guffaws loudly* I’d never considered it like that. It feels surreal, to say the least. I’d never planned to ‘star’ in a book. A movie, perhaps, but not a book. Although who knows… maybe one day Fallen for Rock will hit the big screen.

Anything’s possible. I hear Nicky had an offer for a movie deal on her first novel before now?
She certainly did.

And?
She turned it down, or so she told me. Apparently she didn’t like the terms of the deal, and they wanted to change the location too.

Crazy. But Fallen for Rock…?
I guess if the right deal comes along, we’ll have to talk casting.

Who’d be you, do you think?
Me? *laughs loudly* I’d play myself.

It’s interesting to hear about what drives you.
Ha! Some would say I’m too driven. Emily nearly chucked me out way back when because I was such an arsehole while I was writing music. She was really worried for me too, and all I did in response was snap at her. Although in fairness, I had warned her that I’m hell to live with.

And that’s also in the book. Am I thinking of the right scene here?
You certainly are. That bit’s in the book, as is our whole story from start to finish. How we met, how MonX broke up, and what happened next to me, and to her.

Why “Fallen for Rock”?
Great question. Nicky says it’s because Emily goes through such a turnaround. You know, from rock-hater to rock-lover. Me, I think the title works on many levels. I took a fall, too, although not so much ‘for rock’ as ‘from grace.’ And Emily quite literally had a fall. A fall that would change everything! So it’s a fab title, and the meaning just gets more and more powerful as the story unfolds.

Thanks so much, Mike, it’s been brilliant talking with you. You take care now!
You too. And rock on, as Nicky would say.

Rock on indeed…
