Cade (Default Distraction #3)Cade by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars

Cade is the third book in the fantastic Default Distraction series by the incredibly talented A.S. Roberts. As with the other two books, this superb Rockstar romance had me completely engrossed right from the get-go. With plenty of emotion, drama, chemistry, passion, romance, intensity, tension, and some suspense- I found it just to riveting to put down.
It could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the other two books first, as they introduce the characters and provide other background information that will really enhance your reading experience of this book- not to mention that they are an incredibly good read, too. The three books also play out, mostly, along the same timeline- so if you have read the other books, you are really getting a ‘fuller’ reading experience.
Cade is the drummer with popular rock band “Default Distraction”. They are riding the charts, and enjoying the life that stardom has afforded them. Cade’s life, especially his past, is quite complicated- and that comes into play through the story.
Winter is Rafferty’s sister (Book #2), whom we met at the beginning of the series. She and Cade have a past, which is exactly where she wants to keep things. She isn’t the same young girl she was then. She is in charge, in control, and used to calling the shots. She’s responsible for DD’s new hotel venture’s grand opening and it is her primary focus. Until Cade shows up. What happens here makes for a riveting read!
I fell in love with Ms. Roberts’ writing, and characters back in book one(Brody) and thought she would be hard pressed to top that book. Then book two released (Rafferty), and I thought the same thing. Lightening can’t strike three times in one place! Can it? Well, if you are A.S. Roberts, it can, and does!!! I was definitely looking forward to Cade’s story since meeting him back in book #1 but wasn’t too sure it would live up to the other two books- I had my hope’s, but a few reservations too. But, I really should have never doubted Ms. Roberts, as this book was EVERYTHING I could have imagined, and more- and EVERYTHING you could ever want from a Rockstar romance. The story really blew me away! It was quite raw in places, and incredibly emotive! I smiled, laughed, teared up, and felt every single word! I wasn’t just reading the words, I was IN the story, living every moment alongside these incredible characters.
As I have said before, Ms. Roberts has a real talent for getting her story and characters to really connect with the reader, pulling them in and captivating them with her words. The energy and tension she’s able to create in her stories, and between the characters, is truly masterful. I can’t imagine anyone reading her stories and not enjoying every word.
Again, the characters are really well written, full developed and so wonderfully endearing. I loved everything about them. I also felt for them as everything unfolds. I was completely invested in them and the outcome of their story.
A word of warning though- be prepared for a bit of a book binge, as you won’t want to put “Cade” down!
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Robert’s has in store for us next!

Thank you, Ms. Roberts!
