Rock the Heart by Michelle A. Valentine

4.0

Okay reviewing this is hard for me. I read this after meeting the wonderful Michelle A. Valentine in person. She is wonderful, sweet, and extremely gracious and kind to her fans. So how could I ever rate anything poorly with that deep in my mind? Lucky for me I have no issue giving this 4 Bright Shining Stars. So here is my honest review.
For the last four years, good girl Lane has regretted breaking up with Noel Falcon. She thought she was sensible when she told him his dreams of being a rock star would get him nowhere, but now that he's a rock god and her career is stagnant, she realizes just how wrong she was. When Noel hires the marketing company where Lane is an intern, she’s forced to see him again. If she wants to land her dream job as executive within the company, she has to win him over and secure his account. Too bad Noel is still pissed at her for breaking his heart.
“This next song goes out to the girl who shredded my heart without hesitation back in high school. It's called Ball Busting Bitch, and Lane this one's for you.” ~ Noel
Noel agrees to help her land her dream job with the marketing company. But there is a condition, Lane has to go on tour with him for two weeks. Noel realizes he has never gotten over Lane and decides that this will be the perfect opportunity to make her want him again. Lane is determined to be professional and keep Noel at arm's distance. But can she? Can Lane and Noel get over the pain of their past? Can they build a future together? I cannot reveal the answers, but I can say it is a fantastic ride to get them.
I really enjoyed the back and forth banter between Lane and Noel. I felt their chemistry, their passion, and their desires. I connected with them individually quickly. I found I could relate with both sides. Noel at times gave me whiplash with his bipolar like mood swings, but I still really enjoyed him. Lane could have saved me a lot of anxiety by just giving in. This is the love of your life, high school sweetheart, and what you consider your soul mate: no job is worth losing that over. I most definitely would have been all over Noel.
“I’ll do anything you want to make this happen between us … I can’t lose you again. It hurts too fucking much.” ~Noel

All together this book is really well written. It is fun, cute, and has a lot of witty banter. I know I will continue to read and follow Michelle's work and will recommend it to others.
