She thought she was stepping into fame:
Meeting Drezden Halifax should have been a dream. But dreams are supposed to be sweet, fragile things that whisk you away. Not monsters crafted from hard fingers, gritty vocal cords and a voice so powerful it could tear my guts right out.
Maybe my heart, too.
Becoming the guitarist for Four and a Half Headstones was everything I needed.
Too bad the band's lead singer is doing his best to ruin everything I am.He thought she would solve his troubles:
Lola Cooper, god damn Lola Cooper. She was the perfect guitarist, fingers that could summon a sweet song or punch a chord. She's supposed to save my band, make us come out of this tour in one piece...
But I just want to tear HER to pieces.
No one should make me feel this way. One look at her, one smell, and I knew I'd have to have her. She does things to me that scare the shit out of me. Make me want to slam her on a wall and listen to her cries: eager or fearful, it doesn't matter.
I'm a monster...
And I don't even care.
Hard Body Rock was fun, but also kind of awkward. When it starts, Drezen, the lead singer of his band has just kicked out their drunken guitarist in the middle of a tour. Now, the band has just a couple of hours to find someone, and two days before they’re back on stage. Enter, Lola. Her brother is a lead guitarist for another band on the tour, and he told her about the audition. She doesn’t think she’ll get it, but she does! But nerves are getting the better of her during rehearsals, as does her immediate attraction to Drez.
I liked Hard Body Rock. I like the characters, and think Lola is super adorable. But this developing romance is super awkward. Not awkward in a cute way either. It’s like it’s meant to be super tense, but at times it’s just cringe worthy or made me go “huh?” Like when Lola says Drez is filling her with some unknown feeling. Um, that would be lust! What 19 year old doesn’t know what lust is?! And I don’t even know what’s going on with Drez, but he feels the need to push her away, because…I don’t know. This was a weird one. I liked it, but it was just odd at times. Almost as if the author was going for sexy, but just failed miserably. Actual awkwardness would have worked much better and suited Lola’s character.
