Dirty Rock by Vicki James
5.0
Oh my aching heart really went through it during this rollercoaster of a story. Emotions were pulled from every fibre of my body and tangled in one big giant ball of feelings. Beautifully crafted, Ms James is an expert in creating characters that connect deep to your soul and my god, Rhett Ryan and Julia Speed are characters that will become legendary. They are perfect imperfection, both with their own history of demons and together, they were so real, so intense, so gritty and positively explosive.
Told in Rhett's point of view, the emotion bleed through the bewitching flow of words. We discover a rockstar with the world at his feet, but is hollow and vulnerable. His tight-knotted layers are exquisitely revealed and the strong magnetic forces of his forbidden feelings for his band's publicist, Julia, unearthed a tidal wave of feels that completely floored me. Julia's own internal fight of being in control in all aspects of her life, always being the dependable one, is disabling and heartbreaking. To watch her unleash her wings and go for what she wants in life, was beautiful and inspiring.
My words just can't do this story justice. It's phenomenal and is a MUST READ.
