Guest Post – Karolyn James, Author of the Brothers of Rock series

Thanks for stopping by The Happy Booker today. Karolyn James is guest posting to discuss her series The Brothers of Rock & let readers know what to expect as the series continue. Welcome Karolyn!

995830_391605630960620_1079201979_n I’m out on a summer long blog tour promoting the entire Brothers of Rock series. The release of Bitter Farewell (#3) has officially put me deep into this series. And things are getting emotional! When the series started with All Access, it was the introduction to the band Chasing Cross. But now as this series continues – the first five books will feature the members of Chasing Cross – I’m able to explore the emotional side of things more and more. By writing this as a series following Chasing Cross readers get to meet the band and get to know the band. There’s only two more books left to finish up Chasing Cross… and as of now, there are serious talks of keeping the Brothers of Rock series going!

Until then… here are the books in the Brothers of Rock series that are released!

In the first book of the series – All Access – it introduces the band and introduces leader singer, Johnnie. He meets a woman who doesn’t know who he is and they fall for each other. The story is flirty and fun with the undertones of what it’s like to be a successful rockstar. Johnnie is sexy and rich, but he faces a lot of troubles. And with Jess, he realizes anything is possible.

With the second book – Broken Sound – Davey faces a real situation. A woman shows up at his hotel room with a baby claiming he’s the father. The flirty and fun feeling from All Access is quickly shaken away here. The book is deep as Davey tries to decide what the right to do is… and on top of that, he falls for a woman who isn’t the mother of the baby. There’s plenty of twists and turns in the book, including an attempted murder!

The release of Bitter Farewell brings Danny’s journey back home after he and Johnnie’s father dies. (Johnnie and Danny are blood brothers.) While Johnnie is able to make peace quick and the band is eager to get back to getting ready for their tour and recording, Danny can’t let it go. When he left town, he left a woman behind. And fate steps in, bringing them back together. This romance book explores love through heartache and proves the true power of time.

The final two for Chasing Cross will be:

#4 – Buried Notes

#5 – Last Song

Anna is a teacher and part-time waitress, desperate to make enough to pay off debts left to her by an ex-boyfriend who made her life a living hell.

I've been reading a lot of romances lately since it's summer and I'm very busy AND having a hard time focusing, but I especially like it when there's music involved. So I think this should work great for me.
Thanks for sharing, Donna.

Maja you know romance isn't usually my thing but when this author asked me about a guest post, I browsed inside the book on Amazon and it actually looks like a very well written fun read. I hope you like it!
