"Hot Ticket" by Olivia Cunning [OPINIÃO / REVIEW]


Autor/ Author: Olivia Cunning
Edição/ Print: 2013
Editor: Sourcebooks Casablanca
ISBN: 9781402245855

Sinopse/ Synopsis:

There are things in bassist Jace Seymour’s past that he is unwilling to share with anyone. To cover his guilt and anguish, he seeks dominatrix Mistress V (Aggie) to temporarily placate his inner turmoil.

Aggie doesn’t have much use for men–besides the power rush she gets when they’re begging for mercy at her feet–but Jace isn’t like her usual clients. His cool defiance and unexpected dominance in the bedroom drives her to distraction and quickly steals her heart.

When circumstances threaten Jace’s position in Sinners, Aggie must help him regain his rightful place in the band while showing him that time and love can heal all wounds

Opinião/ Review:

"Hot Ticket" is the third book of the Sinners on Tour series,  in reading order of events, which means we'll have to wait until August, for Eric's book, and only after it, we can get our hands in Trey's book... I hope I don't die until August!!!

You can check my reviews on books #1 and #2 here: "Backstage Pass" , "Rock Hard".

"Hot Ticket" is about Jace, Sinner's bassist, and my favorite character along with Trey.

Jace is the youngest member of the band. He replaced Jon, after he being kicked out of the band for using drugs. Since then, Eric, the drummer, and Jon's best friend has never accepted Jace, or so Jace thinks.
Jace idolizes Eric, because ten years before, the drummer changed his life without knowing it, making Jace chase his dream and become a professional musician.

Jace had a rough childhood: a secret he keeps from the band.
His mother died in a car accident when he was 9, and his father died in a house fire when Jace was 15.
After loosing his parents, he went to a foster home, where he had to fight to survive. But, no one has ever known Jace's background, not even his band... No one until Aggie.

Aggie and Jace met at the strip club where Brian's bachelor party happened.
Aggie is a stripper over there, and a domminatrix outside it... a pain giver, exactly what Jace needed.

Aggie can't take her eyes of Jace, he's the cutest little thing ever, and when he approachs her, she decides make her life mission, breaking Jace, but it looks like the Sinners' bassist has another agenda.

They get envolved, in a big way, but it's not until after Jace being shot to protect Aggie that thinks got really serious. To help Jace, Aggie went touring with the band, making sure Jace has his rest.

Jon, the former bassist, is back, to replace Jace until his shoulder gets better, but Jon has his own plans, and it's making sure Jace never comes back.
All Jace's insecurities are on surface, like his feelings, the ones he can't deal with... It's going to be a tough trip, especially when the album's curse strikes again, and leads Jace to save Eric's life.

WOW! Such an intense book! The best of the series so far!

I'm so in love with Jace! He's awesome!

Olivia Cunning was brilliant when she created Jace, and she did a great work with writting his book.

Jace is the most intense and mysterious character of the series.
He looks cute and doesn't like the spotlight on stage, but he's actually pretty insecure about his place in the band, with a low self-esteem when it comes to women and a beast in bed!

Aggie is my favorite female character so far. She's so strong, secure of herself, and so dedicated to Jace, even when she thinks she's nothing but a lover to him, she continues taking care of him, not expecting nothing in return.
Aggie takes care of Jace in every way:
Their sex scenes are more than spectacular!
They're both sex on legs, have the libido of ten teenagers and the sexual skills that make readers lost their breathe!

The problem with these books is the permanent padrons the author follows. 
In the previous book, Trey was the "glue" between the couples, now Eric takes over his place.
Eric becomes the saviour of Jace and Aggie's relationship, and he even shares their bed a couple of times (OMG! Such hot scenes!!!).

"Hot Ticket" made me stay wake all night, because I couldn't bare to sleep before I finish reading it!

Oivia's writing mantains: rough, raw, sexy and sensual... exquisite!

"Hot Ticket" made my blood run and my heart beating faster. Can't wait for more of Sinners!

"Rock Hard" by Olivia Cunning [REVIEW / OPINIÃO]

Autor/ Author: Olivia Cunning
Edição/ Print: 2011
Editor: Sourcebooks Casablanca
ISBN: 9781402245794
Sinopse/ Synopsis:
An ultimatum can break your heart....

Every night lead singer, Sed Lionheart whips thousands of women into a frenzy with his voice alone. But the stage is the only place Sed feels any passion since he lost Jessica...

If you’re not willing to break all the rules...

It shattered her heart, but law student Jessica broke off her engagement to Sed, determined to be successful on her own terms. But no other man can ever hold a candle to Sed...

Then a chance meeting and tortuously close quarters lead to uncontrollable flares of passion and rediscovery of their unique penchant for public encounters. Now, in addition to the risk of mutual heartbreak every time they get together, they’re in danger of truly scandalous public exposure..


Opinião/ Review:

"Rock Hard" is the second book of the Sinners on Tour series by the author Olivia Cunning.
I recently discovered this book series, and it became one of my greatest joys of the year!

After reading "Backstage Pass" (you can check my review HERE) , I was more then willing to get to know Sed's story, the sexy and arrogant lead vocal of Sinners.

In the first book, we met Sed as a man in constant suffer because of his broken engagement. Having sex with lots of girls at the same time was his therapy, with a little help by his buddy Eric, Sed was trying to forget his past, until he accidentally bumped into his former fiancée, Jessica, during Brian's bachelor party.

Jessica is a law school student, who left the love of her life to persued her dream, even though she loved Sed more than her life... but he wanted to crontol her, stopping her of going to law school, and she couldn't let that be.

Being a straight A student was the way she kept studing, thanks to her schoolarships, but because of one mean professor who failed her out of jealousy, her future is now in jeopardy.
To keep herself in school, she started stripping... desperate times, makes desperate decisions. Everything was doing well, until Sed appeared and got her fired.

Two years after they were planning a marriage... two years later, they cannot stand each other, or so they say!

After Myrna hired Jessica as her PA, Sed's ex-fiancée gets to tour with Sinners.

The deep attraction between the ex-couple is notorious, but Jess wants her reveange after watching the trashy show Sed put on with three girls on the bus she now lives. So, she decided it was time for Sed to taste his own medicine, and be treated like a play toy.

Sed battles himself about Jessica. She's the love of his life, and he wants to take care of her, but she hurted his feelings and he won't make it if she does it again.

I'm a little disappointed about this book..
I was hoping Sed would be a little more tougher and to struggle with his feelings, instead, he was soft as butter when it came to Jess.

But I did like Jessica a lot. She's tough and I can see where she comes from.
Jessica wants to be her own person, she doesn't want to have to choose between love and a career, she wants both, but she can't stand Sed's "I'm-the-boss" atitude.

I could feel the chemistry between these two, but Myrna and Brian were way hotter!

And why people keep getting sick in these books? First Brain's hand, then Trey's head, and now Sed's throat... Maybe Eric is right and they're cursed.

You all know how much I love Trey, and he was in the spotlight again, but I can see a padron here... Trey is the one who always unite the couples. 
Yes, he's fabulous, but I didn't like what happened to him in this book, and I can sense he's book will be very very intense!

Overall "Rock Hard" was a reading I appreciated.  
With lots of sex scenes (and WOW! such spicy scenes!!). 
With lots of drama (yes, I'm a drama queen, I like to feel the blood running during fights!).

Olivia Cunning knows how to make my day!
