BLOG TOUR + REVIEW ~The Prince of Punk Rock,Radical Rock Stars Book One by Jenna Galicki




Warning: This book is for mature audiences only.
 
 
 


Synopsis:


I love her, but I also love him.
She's everything to me.
He sets my world on fire.
It's our dirty little secret, and it’s about to blow our record deal sky high.
 
I’m Tommy Blade, the Prince of Punk Rock, and this is our story.
Tommy Blade is a man with a secret. It’s a secret he only shares with one person, Jessi Blade – and the men he surrenders to in the bedroom. Jessi’s only condition to their tumultuous sex life is that the men are one night stands. But when Angel Garcia enters their life, it’s like a match to gasoline.
Mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia, with his smoldering ebony eyes, tight leather pants and unstoppable stage presence, is a man who is used to getting what he wants. He has his eyes set on Tommy Blade as his new lead guitarist, and as his life partner.
Jessi Blade, sympathetic to her husband's bisexual needs, loves him enough to share him, but she never counted on Angel Garcia to test the threshold of her marriage. He makes her life hell . . . and heaven. He’s her damnation and her salvation. She wants to hate him. She wants to despise him. But his charm and raw sex appeal are impossible to resist. Without warning, she finds herself falling in love with her husband's gay lover.
At the height of it all, their punk rock band catapults to stardom.
Their lives are marred by secrecy, deception and sacrifice. Feelings of betrayal, backlash from the sensationalistic media and threats of blackmail send them down a hard road filled with tough decisions.
They aren't your ordinary rock stars. They're radical rock stars. And they have a big story to tell.


Character bios:

Tommy Blade:   Guitar god.  Rising star.  Blond Adonis.   A man with a secret.   In control of everything in his life.  A hard rock guitar player with no intention of changing bands or the genre of the music he loves to play – until he meets mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia.  Once they meet, it’s like a match to gasoline.  He struggles to find the balance between the woman he loves and the man who sets his soul on fire.  He leaves his hard rock roots behind, and becomes The Prince of Punk Rock.





Jessi Blade:  Rocker chick. Fashionista.  Determined.  Strong-willed.  Clothing designer.   Her loyalty to Tommy is steadfast and she guards his secret.  Dedicated to the band.  She’s trying to make a name for herself as a fashion designer, but she can’t tear herself away from the limelight of the stage long enough to launch her rock and roll clothing line.  Her day to day life is what most people dream about.  Fiercely loyal to Tommy, but falling hard for Angel Garcia.  She always knew Tommy needed  man in his life, and she loves him enough to share him, but she’s not going to take a back seat anyone.



Angel Garcia:  Born superstar. Destined for fame.  A showman.  Sex personified.  Perfectionist.   A hopeless romantic.  He has a voice that can shatter glass and bring you to your knees.  He feeds off the energy of the crowd like a drug.  A soux chef in his family’s restaurant by day, a punk rock sensation by night.  He’s a man who knows what he wants and goes after it – and he wants Tommy Blade.



Excerpt:

The faces changed since the last time he was there, but the intention was still the same. It wasn’t a place to socialize or partake in camaraderie or drop in for a drink on your way home. It was meeting place for men interested in casual sex. The backroom served as a shanty for a quick encounter. You could stop in, get your rocks off and be on your way in half an hour. It was a smorgasbord of testosterone, a buffet of muscle and beefcake.
Men flocked around him as soon as he walked through the door. They always did. A guy once told him that it was the mixture of his rugged jaw and strong upper body, offset by the innocence of his big blue eyes that made him so attractive. The ladies always said it was his long blond hair and the guitar.

MY REVIEW:
 
So I have to say that the synopsis reeled me in on this one. I wanted to read the book because it sounded so interesting and so out of my normal reading genre. I don't think I've ever read any M/F/M books and I felt that this was just 'OK'.  To be honest, it wasn't my cup of tea however I didn't die reading it so that should be a plus.
I won't tell you what the story was about because the synopsis describes the story perfectly.
Here is what I thought of The Prince of Punk Rock.
I honestly liked Jessi. Even though she was married to a man that was Bi-sexual(Tommy), she gave so much for his happiness. She was sweet, caring and selfless. At times I thought that maybe she was a little naïve but to the end of the book she proved me wrong. I loved it when she stood up for what she believed in and started to live her life for her and no one else.
I didn't connect with Tommy and Angel. There was just something lacking with both of their characters. The were just alright characters in my book.
I felt that this story was kind of M/M instead of M/F/M. In my opinion, Jessi got left out of so many emotional scenes and I felt she got the short end of the stick when it came to their relationship.
What I did not like about this book was that I was a little bored in the first 30% -50% of the book. I wanted the characters to get their shit together, I wanted the drama to start and wanted hot sex scenes. To my disappointment the above was lacking.
Good attempt on the author's part, I just needed a little more fire to keep me interested.
I rated this book 3***
