Blurb
Kit Devigny could have loved rock guitarist Noah St. John. Their friendship burned with the promise of intense passion and searing tenderness…until the night Noah deliberately shattered her heart.
Noah knows he destroyed something precious the night he chose to betray Kit, but he’d rather she hate him than learn his darkest secret. All he has left is his music. It’s his saving grace, but it doesn’t silence the voices that keep him up at night. Chasing oblivion through endless one-night-stands, he earns a few hours’ sleep and his bad boy reputation.
When a media error sees Noah and Kit dubbed the new “it” couple, Kit discovers her chance at the role of a lifetime hinges on riding the media wave. Wanting—needing—to give Kit this, even if he can’t give her everything, Noah agrees to play the adoring boyfriend. Only the illusion is suddenly too real, too painful, too beautiful…and it may be too late for the redemption of Noah St. John.
Excerpt from ROCK REDEMPTION by
Nalini Singh
Kit groaned at the sound of her phone. Reaching out blindly toward the nightstand, she hurled mental curses upon herself for forgetting to turn it off so she could catch some uninterrupted sleep before her four-a.m. makeup call.
It’d be fun and great for her career, her agent had said when recommending Kit take the superhero flick. Coming off two serious and emotionally wrenching projects, Kit had taken Harper’s advice and jumped on board the high-budget, high-octane venture. Unfortunately, Harper had forgotten to mention the four hours it would take to put her into the head-to-toe makeup required for the role. Daily.
“What?” she snarled into the phone without checking to see who it was.
“Hey, Katie.”
Every cell in her body snapped wide awake. Lifting her eyelids, she just stared at the ceiling through gritty eyes. Her heart thumped, her throat moving convulsively as she swallowed. She hated that he could still do this to her, hated it, but her visceral response to Noah wasn’t something she could stop. She knew because she’d tried for the past two years and three months.
“Noah,” she said flatly. “Do you know what time it is?”
“Two fifteen,” he answered.
Kit should’ve hung up. God, he’d hurt her. So much. But there was something in his voice that had her sitting up. “Are you drunk?” One thing she knew about Noah: no matter his bad-boy rep, he was never wasted. He might give a good indication of it, but look closely and those dark gray eyes were always sober.
“Probably.” A silence, followed by, “I just wanted to hear your voice. Sorry for waking you.”
“Wait,” she said when he would’ve hung up. “Where are you?”
“Some dive.” He took a deep breath, released it in a harsh exhale. “I’m sorry for being an asshole. I wanted to tell you that. I don’t want to go without saying that.”
“Noah,” she said, a horrible feeling in her stomach. “Where exactly are you?”
“The Blue Flamingo Inn off Hollywood Boulevard. Far, far, far off.” He laughed, and it held no humor. “It has a neon sign of a blue—surprise!—flamingo that’s flashing right through my window. Looks like someone stole the curtains.”
Having already grabbed her laptop, which she’d left beside the bed after answering some e-mails before sleep claimed her, she found the Blue Flamingo Inn. But Noah was already gone, having said, “I love your voice, Kit,” in an oddly raw tone before hanging up.
He didn’t pick up when she called back.
“Damn it! Damn it!” She shoved aside the blanket under which she’d been buried, having turned the AC to ice-cold as she usually did at night. Shivering, she tugged on a pair of jeans and an old sweatshirt over the panties and tank top in which she’d gone to sleep.
Pulling her black hair into a rough ponytail to keep it out of her eyes, she ran through the house, phone in one pocket, credit card and driver’s license in the other. In the kitchen, she grabbed her keys off the counter and shoved her feet into the tennis shoes by the door that led to the garage.
She was in her car and on the way to the motel three minutes after Noah had hung up, mouth dry and an ugliness in her gut. “Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay,” she kept saying, the mantra doing nothing to calm her down, but at least it kept her mind focused.
She wanted to call Molly and Fox, or the others in the band, but no one was currently in the city. Schoolboy Choir had completed the final show in the band’s hugely successful tour just over two weeks earlier. Day after that, they’d all gone their separate ways to recharge and regroup.
“Much as I love these guys,” David had said with a grin that reached the dark gold of his eyes, “I’ve been looking at their ugly mugs daily for months. We need to go blow off some steam separately before we start snarling at each other.”
At the time, Kit had nodded in understanding, having had that same experience while working on location for long periods. Tonight, however, she wished the others were all here, not scattered across the country, because something was very wrong with Noah.
“Noah doesn’t do drugs,” she told herself as she drove as fast as she dared, not wanting to risk getting pulled over and further delayed. “He isn’t the kind to—” She couldn’t say it, couldn’t even think of Noah ending his life. “No,” she said firmly, her hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel. “Noah isn’t like that.”

My Review of Rock Redemption by Nalini Singh
This is book 3 in the Rock Kiss series and this is Kathleen “Kit” Devigny and Noah St. John’s story. You will need tissues for this story for it is filled with angst, at times heartbreak, mixed with anger, and at the heart of it all, LOVE. I knew when going into this story that there was a background between these two but when I started reading, WOW-just wow. My heart broke for Kit… Noah is really a broken man, there are things in his background that make what he did to Kit seem logical but oh my heart broke for them both. The first 7 or so chapters are not easy and it makes reading hard because I wanted to hate Noah. It was like he wanted Kit then he didn’t wanted her-well, he wanted no one else to have her . I wanted to slap him a few times. My heart broke for her so many times yet she was still there for him even though her heart was being shredded every time she did. Finally she gave up and told him she couldn’t do it anymore. In the middle of all this, Kit is going thru her own personal hell—for her, this had started a few years ago and seemed to have stopped but of recent has started back up. I dont want to give too much away -spoilers and all but when Noah found out what was going on, he wanted to protect her but due to all that had gone on between them, he realizes he cant. He is devastated and angry, he should be there. Somehow he tries to get back in good with her and she ends up letting him back in and then we have a sudden twist to the story lets Noah back into Kit’s life. These sudden twists and turns keeps the story going. There are so many going ons throughout that I have to say, I was like on a rollercoaster, not sure if I was going up or coming down. Keep the tissues handy--this was such a beautifully written story because oh how it that dealt with the subject matters brought up in the story was done with a deft and delicate hand . Noah and Kit were great when together even when angst forced them apart. There was a line in the book that even now is my favorite by the author – Kit said to Noah "Why can't you see me like I see you?". You will understand what she means when you read it and you will feel her pain like I did. OMG, did the author paint such vivid pictures and make you feel and see everything as you read the story. Also we got to see the other characters from previous stories and we know who the next book will be about most likely. ;-) I am sure that I have not done this book justice , all I can say is this is one of the MUST READ BOOKS of 2015
I have to say I was left feeling strangely complete yet feeling oddly like I needed a stiff drink after this story. The emotions wrung out of me were intense and that is a very good thing. It is hard to find a book like that nowadays. I have been craving Kit and Noah’s story and when we , the readers, got it, boy it was a doozy. Kudos to Ms. Singh for taking the broken pieces of a man and taking a woman who was willing to pick him up and put him back together again. This is one of my top picks for 2015 book of the year.

My rating: 5.0 stars *****
