About
MORE THAN A FEELING:
From
the award-winning author of TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT comes the final story in her red-hot
Rock Star Romance series, about a loner rocker finding his perfect duet.
When
Cooper Hood left Snowberry, Montana ten years ago, he swore he’d never go back
to the town that painted him with the same brush as his addict mother. But
right in the middle of his band’s national tour he gets a call to come home:
his mom’s got a whopper of a secret to reveal.
Daisy
Charbonneau’s in trouble. The talent she hired for her resort’s annual
Huckleberry Festival just bailed on her, and she’s desperate to find a
replacement act. Luck turns her way when she discovers her high school crush is
back in town—and he happens to be a rock star.
As they work together, a crush deepens into so much more, but who falls in love
in two weeks?
Especially when Cooper’s never coming back to town, and Daisy’s never going to
leave it.
EXCERPT:
Daisy’s
fingers trailed across his shoulders as she breezed past him. Her warm vanilla
and honey scent swirled in her wake, and he felt like that boy all over again
who’d lived in a state of hyperawareness around her. The boy who’d noticed the
way her dark hair pooled onto the desk as she’d hunch forward to write, her
fingers curled around a pencil. The way the tendons in her neck strained when
she’d hit and held a high note. Her burst of laughter in the music room had
made him stop whatever he’d been doing just to witness her joy.
He’d
hoarded all those images, those sacred moments, to pull out and comfort him as
he lay alone in the dark woods, waiting for his home to be safe enough to go
back inside.
She
would never know it, but she’d been his saving grace.
Taking
her seat across from him, she set two little pots on the table. Her vivid blue
eyes sparkled in the candlelight. “Try this.” She held a spoon out to
him.
Letting
her feed him was just too damn intimate, so he took it from her and fed himself.
Creamy dark chocolate filled his senses. “Mousse?” Although it was denser, the
chocolate more velvety. Richer. “It’s good.”
“It’s
a Pot de Crème.” She scooped another mound for herself. Turning the spoon
upside down, she brought it to her mouth, closing her eyes when her tongue
touched the chocolate. She moaned, and her tongue swept across her bottom lip.
Desire
surged through him, and he couldn’t help wondering if she’d look like that in
bed. If she’d go all slack and dreamy-eyed when he sucked a nipple into his
mouth.
His
blood rose at the image of Daisy naked beneath him, back arching, her hands
digging into his hair, holding him to her as if she never wanted him to go
away.
She
opened her eyes and licked the damn spoon. “I had my mom make it just
for you.” The silky fabric of her shirt draped over her breasts, accentuating
their round fullness. Desire pulsed through him.
Jesus,
would you stop already?
“Let’s
try this one.” She slid the edge of her fork into the cake, a cream-covered
strawberry sliding out. “It’s my favorite.” The Montana sapphire studs
glittered in her ears, and her lush mouth curved into a smile. His dick went
hard.
He
accepted the fork, but even when the cake and cream hit his tongue he couldn’t
taste a thing. Because the only thing in his mind, heart, and body was the
primal, urgent need to taste her.
All
that teenage longing came roaring back. He wanted her more than ever. And not
because she was beautiful and had a body his hands were dying to explore, but
because every single cell in his body reacted to her. Wanted her. Yearned for
her.
And
this was why he’d never come back to Snowberry. He didn’t want to yearn
for the things he couldn’t have. Didn’t want to wait for his mother to give him
a crumb of her attention. Didn’t want to be around these people who’d only ever
looked at him with disgust.
“What
do you think? Delicious?” Daisy’s voice yanked him out of the negativity.
And
he was damn glad. Because his past didn’t matter anymore. He was a man now.
He’d made his way in the world. And he had a chance to be that man around
Daisy. His gaze on her mouth, he said, “Hell, yes.”

What you should know:
This is the 4th and final book Erika Kelly's "Rock Star Romance" series.
What I love:
I love romances with rock star heroes & character-driven stories and this book fits the bill. The hero (super sexy rock star Cooper Hood) and the heroine (Daisy
Charbonneau) knew each other when they were teens & they were bright spots for each other in the hell that is high school. This is a fantastic story for romance fans who live for books about characters who have a complicated history and get a second chance at love. Erika Kelly satisfies fans of this series by providing a fab epilogue. Even though it's the last book, I actually think this works for readers new to the series because Cooper wasn't really a huge part of the previous books, and in this book Cooper is far removed from his bandmates and inserted into the wildly beautiful - but completely different from his usual stomping groups - setting of a small town in Montana. That the town is where Cooper and Daisy were born and grew up adds plenty of drama, but Erika Kelly balances the drama with her usual infusion of sexy fabulousness.
I am sad to see this series end, but I look forward to reading Erika Kelly's next book!
