    About this ebook



    Is Rachel Robinson the only one on campus who doesn't know who Devin Freedman is? No big deal except that the bad-boy rock star gets a kick out of Rachel's refusal to worship at his feet. And that seems to have provoked his undivided attention. Devin, the guy who gave new meaning to the phrase "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll." Devin, the guy who somehow becomes wedged between her and the past she's kept hidden for years.

    It's up to this librarian to find out firsthand just how "bad" he really is. Because her secret—and her growing feelings for a man who claims he's bent on redemption—depend on his turning out to be as good as he seems. Which is really, really good.

      Good series romance. Lately, some of these have been pretty good (and I'm not a SuperRomance reader). I'm really liking the well-drawn characters, with a past. They're refreshingly normal. The too-good-to-be-true heroines can grate on you a bit.

      This was a silly, enjoyable book. I'll give you a sample of the dialouge:Cardigan? He might not be a hell-raiser anymore but Devin valued his reputation. "Haven't you got anything sexy?""Yes," said Rachel, "My mind."
    • 4/5
      It really is as good as everyone is saying. Bliss takes the Bad boy/Good girl romance trope and turns it on its head.
    • 5/5
      University librarian Rachel has her world shaken up by the arrival of two new students: one is an egotistical, bad-boy former rock star who is attracted by her refusal to worship at his feet, and the other is the teenage son she gave up for adoption when she was seventeen. And when the wild rocker takes the shy teenager under his wing, things start to get distinctly complicatedThis was a great story. Not perfect - I thought some of the ends were tied up a little too pat - but definitely great. There's a lot of humour in the book, and some great one-liners. The characters are really well written, and the various parent-child relationships and themes related to 'doing the right thing' are very strong. It's not great literature, it's unmistakeably a romance novel - but it's definitely more than just a romance novel. And it's a darn good read(And the book gets extra points for having a title and cover art that actually reflects the content of the book. Gasp! Hold the front page!)
    • 5/5
      First off, it takes place in New Zealand. How cool is that? At first Rachel comes across as rather uptight. But boy can she hand out the zingers. And her main focus of her zinger flings is Devin. As mentioned in the blurb, Devin was a member of a famous rock band formed by his older brother. But having suffered a breakdown brought on by too much wild living, he heads back to the country of his birth and without much else to do, and a desire to see if his older brother has been screwing him out of royalties from the band, Devin decides to take a course on business and finance at the local university where Rachel just happens to be the head librarian.Because of her rather rigid upbringing and something that happened to her when she was younger, Rachel isn’t much into rock music and is less than impressed with Devin. But there is a lot of chemistry there, no matter that Rachel tries to deny it. Their relationship is further complicated when Devin befriends a young student, a young man that holds a key to Rachel’s past.Devin is a dream hero!! While success came to him early and he did live a wild life style, he really is trying to turn his life around and has also come home to care for his mother who recently went through her own health scare. He’s alternately attracted to and annoyed by how cool Rachel is towards him. And the more she keeps him at arms length, the more he wants to get closer.Rachel is a great heroine – I really liked her and I’m curious as to what Wendy will think – her being a Super Librarian and all. While no question she’s kind of old-fashioned, that doesn’t mean she’s not a treat of a heroine, and when Devin can manage to get her to let down her hair so to speak, she’s really quite funny. There are a number of places I got quite a chuckle out of their bickering.And yet at other times there is a real poignancy in this story. Mark, the young man Devin befriends and then mentors plays a pivotal role in the story and a motivating reason as to why Rachel is the way she is.I was really delighted with this book and this author is now on my radar!
