Blog Tour: Excerpt, Review, and Giveaway for Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh

RELEASE DATE: September 9th, 2014
Blurb:
A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn't only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…

Excerpt from ROCK ADDICTION
by Nalini Singh

Fox hadn’t become the lead singer of one of the best-selling rock bands in history by being a shrinking violet. No, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred. And the raw promise he could feel between him and Molly? He had to know where it would lead, the need so strong he hadn’t felt anything like it since the day he’d figured out that music was his escape, the air in his lungs.
Which was why he was leaning against the wall beside Molly’s apartment at five that afternoon, a guitar by his side.
The elevator doors opened at a quarter after the hour, Molly going motionless two steps outside of it, the doors closing silently at her back. Yeah, she hadn’t expected him, but Fox was ready to work with that. Waiting patiently as she took a deep breath and completed the trek down the corridor, he drew in the scent of her, his gaze lingering on the fluttering pulse in her neck.
 “How did you get past security?”
Fox smiled slowly at the blurted-out question, wondering if Molly knew how bad she was at hiding her emotions. He liked it, liked that he saw the real Molly, not an illusion she’d created to tempt him—not that she had to do anything but smile to tempt him. “I told you the security sucks.”
Unable to resist, he reached out to run his finger down one creamy cheek flushed with a mix of surprise, passion, and, he was certain, sweet, hot feminine anger. His guess was borne out when Molly unlocked her door with jittery hands and put down her handbag on one corner of the bench, her fingers trembling before she curled them into her palms. “You’re breaking the rules.”
“What rules?” Closing the door, he leaned back on it and willed her to face him. Much as he loved the shape of her from the back, he liked watching those expressive eyes whisper her mood to him.
Shoulders tight, she turned. “This was supposed to be a one-night stand.”
“Ah.” Folding his arms over the plain black of his T-shirt, he said, “How about a one-month stand instead?” He knew he had to play this exactly right. Molly was wary of him, and yeah, he could understand why. To have her in his life beyond a fleeting instant, he’d have to win her trust.
She jerked up her head. “What?”
“Why not? I like you. You like me.” He smiled—because the reason Molly had needed to jerk up her head was that she’d been staring at his chest. “Admit it.”
Sitting down on the bench, she began to unzip her boots, very obviously not looking at him. “You’re okay for a rock star.”
He wanted to bite her, then pet her until she was limp and languid in his arms. “We burn up together.” Deliberately modulating his voice—his instrument—for maximum effect, low and bedroom rough, he saw her fingers stutter on the zipper. “I’m here for a month. It’s an easy equation.”
When the words “Let me think about it” fell from her mouth, he thought she might’ve been as startled as he was, her lips parting on a slight gasp—as if to call back the declaration.

Review:
★★★★★ stars
I'm sure by now you know how excited I was when the news first broke Nalini had written a new adult novel. I heard it in May at the RT convention from the lady herself, and my countdown until the book became available started right away.  When the first teasers started rolling out, I knew I was going to love the book.

Molly avoids the limelight due to her past and Fox lives in it.  Molly has subdued her personality and Fox is wild and not afraid to live his life.  Both of them seem to be the polar opposites of each other, but the sparks that come off the both of them when they're together don't seem to be going away soon.  I loved both Molly and Fox.  Both of them have stuff from their past that they're trying to handle as adults.  Each of them has reacted differently to the trauma, with Molly never wanting to be in the spotlight again to Fox owning who he is and not apologizing for it.  I found it fascinating how different their outwards personas were from their true selves.  I absolutely loved seeing them come to an understanding with each other and the baggage they each had, and with themselves too.

The story is hot, but it's sweet too.  While the story focused mainly on Molly and Fox, I loved how the rest of the band wasn't neglected.  It really felt like it was the beginning of everyone's story.  There was a strong sense of family and camaraderie I'm used to seeing in Nalini's novels.  I loved seeing how the guys took to Molly and how she took to them.  I also loved seeing Molly's interaction with her sister.

If I ever doubted Nalini could write anything but an amazing book, this settled any possible doubts.  Her characters are well written and down to Earth.  You can't help but like them and want them to find a resolution to their issues.  The story flows at a quick pace and it's set in some beautiful locations like New Zealand, Australia, and L.A.  I read it in one go.  I'm very excited to see the Gentleman of Rock, David, will woo Thea.  Their story will be out at the end of this month.  Nalini has once again written a phenomenal story!
