Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts is an emotionally raw read and will tug hard on the heartstrings. I love this series and Cade & Winters story is one I have been waiting for. I loved the fact that AS has intertwined all three stories around the same time. So when you are reading it you get a snippet and remember the other two couples and their own heartaches and joys.

Winter is still trying to keep it together after being discarded by her first real love and the life she soon found herself in that nearly destroyed her. The last thing she needs is to see the one man who broke her heart, however in order to get back what was stolen, she needs this job and will have to harden her heart once again.

Cades was brought up by a monster, one who destroyed his life. Little did he know it had far more reaching consequences than he knew and destroyed something infinitely more precious.

This story and series is a must to each and everyone’s TBR list.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cade by A.S. Roberts a five-star read that beats to its own drum, a drum beat that will make your heartbeat faster. This is number three in the Default Distraction series and they just go from tempo to tempo building the music in your heart. I have loved this series so hard, I love reading but it doesn’t always blend into my real life, I usually keep it separate but every time I wear my DD hoodie I get asked about the band and I explain that they make music that makes your heart sing and when people ask will I have heard of them and I explain only if you read a brilliant book, they look at me funny but I don’t care my love is so great. Cade Morello could have anything he desires and his band mates know that, they know his family and his tastes so you can see why his choices would make for difficult decisions as we all know family make us think twice especially when it may break the family we have built for ourselves. I loved this one, it really sucked you in, I didn’t think I could love anyone harder than Raff, but the tattooed bad boy that is Mr Morello well, he just created a new heartbeat for me to go by. I love the dynamics of this one and the underlying stories that needed to be heard to get the full picture and I love how you et just enough information to know what is happening but not enough to know everything. Well done on a fantabulous read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read every one of the books in this series and this one is my favorite. This author writes with heart and creativity. Her story is well written with characters that made the story feel realistic. They are connectable and I loved their chemistry together. In this story you have a drummer who always gets what he wants until she walks into his life. She plays by her own rules but will he convince her that the attraction between them is real? I loved watching them grow throughout the story. I found myself hoping they would end up together at the end but you will have to read this book to find out for sure. I highly recommend reading their story to find out what happens with them.

I loved reading the story Cade (Default Distraction #3) by A.S. Roberts. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the ending page. I have loved this series from the very first book and the stories just keep getting better. I loved reading about Cade Morello and the woman that he is falling for. Cade is the drummer for Default Distraction and the son of a mafia boss. Being in the band he can have any woman that he wants, the one he wants won’t let her guard down. He is determined that she will be his. There is chemistry between them. Is it all physical or is there more of a connection between them than they think? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. There is a push and pull going on between the two main characters. I grew to care about what happens to them and wanted them to be happy. Will what they have between them work? Cade is a man that is haunted by his past. He finds himself pursuing her and there are times when you see the real man behind what he portrays in public. This is a story that includes some romantic scenes that will have the temperature in the room rising. It also had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed reading about the other characters, many of which are familiar as they have been brought forward from the other books. This is a book and series that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading.

Chart topping U.S. rock band, Default Distraction, have everything money can buy…

As the drummer of Default Distraction, and a Morello,

I get what I want, when I want it.

But being the son of a mafia boss, isn’t everything, not to me anyway.

I bailed on that life, after it all went down,

and I never looked back.

Then she walks in,

our lead guitarist’s little sister,

who’s all grown up.

And all she’ll do is close me out.

Now, I have to convince her that what’s between us, really exists.

Every touch, every taste, everything.

We are the real deal,

and I’m not going anywhere. Even if it means following her back home to where it all started.

Two different worlds.

Two different countries.

We can’t work,

we don’t make sense.

Running a business,

calling the shots,

playing by my own rules.

That’s who I am,

what I do.

Men are for my pleasure,

my enjoyment,

and nothing more.

I refuse to let down my guard again, once was more than enough.

And Cade Morello is far too much to handle.

Rafferty is the second book in the Default Distraction series by A.S. Roberts. This is one of my favorite series. I really enjoy the interaction between the main characters. This story had me hooked from the very first page and held my attention until the very last page. The books in this series coincide in the same time frame so they don’t have to be read in order but I highly recommend that you read them because they are all five Stars. This is Rafferty and Lauren’s story, which is full of heartwarming and heart wrenching emotions. This book left me with all kinds of feels. I highly recommend and can’t wait for the next book this series.

This is the second book in this series and while I did read book 1, you don’t need to to read this one as it’s about another couple and this is also happening at the same time as book 1.
Raff, at first I had a hard time figuring him out and what happened in the past. He was quickly easy to cheer for as I understand male pride, he reminds me of my husband!
Lauren, oh my heart broke for her in a few instances. She came out stronger and guarded but seems to jump to big conclusions without asking for answers.

These two had me as their cheerleader through the whole book and I really can’t wait to read more of this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow me away. My two favorite genres are rockstar and second chance romance. This book has both and I absolutely loved it. This is the second book in the Default Distraction series.I was so excited when this book came out I dropped everything and started it right away. I was hooked on the first page. These characters grabbed me right from the start. It only took me a full day to devour this incredible book.

Rafferty has it all money, cars, and women all over him. He is a member of a number one band called Default Distraction. Raff had it all when he was younger but he let her go. Now he can’t get her out of his head. He still can’t get over Lauren. Raff is off to his hometown to relax but he can’t because he can feel her. He is shocked when he runs into her unexpectedly. She is even more beautiful than he remembered. Raff is so excited to tell her that he wants another chance but Lauren wants nothing to do with him. Will Rafferty be able to tell Lauren the real reason he left or will she walk away from him for good?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartache, forgiveness, and love. You can not help but to fall in love with these characters. Rafferty is rich and famous but he doesn’t take it for granted. He loves his job. Raff wants Lauren back and he will anything to make it happen. Lauren is a beautiful woman that is very independent. She was heartbroken over Raff and she never wants to feel that pain again. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. I can’t wait to see what will happen next in this incredible series.

5-stars

Rafferty is the second novel in the Default Distraction series. The timeline for this novel occurs along with that of the first book in the series. There were several scenes that occurred in this book that also occurred in the first. I liked that about this novel. With that being said, I do feel that it could be read as a standalone. There is enough detail for the main characters of this second novel to keep the reader from being confused. Raff and Lauren were madly in love until he left her. Now he has moved back and all the pain and emotions Lauren has held back have spilled over the dam. I loved watching the two fight their love and then slowly rekindle it. The story was very easy to follow and was addicting from the cover to the end. It easily deserves 5-stars and I look forward to more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Rafferty is the second book in the Default Distraction Series by A.S. Roberts. It is a fantastic Rockstar romance full of emotion, angst, drama, secrets, lies, betrayal, heartbreak, humour, second chances, love, passion, chemistry, and lots more.
Rafferty is the lead guitarist in the band, Default distraction. He, along with his fellow bandmates reached superstardom- playing sold out arenas and gaining fans, fame and massive fortunes. But his life is overshadowed by memories of the woman he walked away from at the beginning of the bands rise to fame. He can’t stop thinking about her and desperately wants to make everything right. But she’s not interested in have her heart shattered again and has worked incredibly hard to rebuild her life after he left her broken. But a when fate thrusts them together again, will they rekindle their love, or has too much time, secrets, lies, and heartache passed for them to ever get over?
Ms. Roberts writes so beautifully- she has a real talent for getting her story and characters to really connect with the reader, pulling us in and captivating us with her words. The energy and tension she creates in her stories, and between her characters, is truly masterful. I can’t imagine anyone reading her stories and not enjoying every single moment.
The characters are really well written, fully developed individuals, with their own quirks and flaws- which makes them very endearing. I loved catching up with the other band members, as well as meeting the other secondary characters. There is sooo much to love about this book. You really should read it for yourself and discover all the emotive and sexy details for yourself. But be prepared for a book binge, as you won’t want to put it down! I read it in one session, staying up long past my bedtime just so I didn’t have to put it down before knowing how it played out.
Can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Roberts!

5 Stars

I could not wait to read this book as well as any book by this author and once again I was not disappointed. I loved Rafferty in the 1st book, then disliked him immensely at the beginning of this book then as I read on he started melting my heart and by the end I of course loved him again 🙂

This book runs pretty much parallel with Brody and it was kind of awesome, luckily it has not been that long ago that I read Brody so I picked up on the same time frame pretty quick. Lauren was awesome but she literally ticked me off during most of the book. Really?! I mean I understand the hurt and the fear of trusting again but communication would have solved so so much!

I love the concept of this series. I’m not normally a fan of books involving bands and such but how this author handles this one has me totally invested in all of these people. The secondary characters are beyond awesome and I can not wait to see who gets to tell their story next.

Loved it and highly recommend reading both books so far in this series.

This is the second story in the series and I have been waiting with baited breath for it to come across my lap.

Trust me you will want to read the first book in this series Brody as it is a series written about a rock band and each of its members. It’s the little things that A.S. does so well her characters ooze sexy and broody like no one. I mean who doesn’t love a Rockstar, who is sooooo sexy and steamy.

Rafferty (Default Distraction Book 2) by A.S. Roberts is book about lost love and second chances. Rafferty walked away from Lauren when he entered the music world to follow his dreams. Default Distraction has made it big and Rafferty still longs for Lauren and she will always be who he longs for. When fate brings Lauren and him together, he vows that this time he is not letting her go. Lauren lost a part of her heart the day Rafferty walked away from her. It took her a long time to rebuild her life again and now he’s back and wants her. And right now, she’s not sure she can open her life and heart again.
These two characters quickly dragged me into their world and I could not put this book down. I wanted these two to find happiness in each other so badly, as every emotion that they felt I could feel, I felt the pain, the happiness, and felt the confusion of Lauren. This book is a MUST read!!

Rafferty by A.S. Roberts is book two of the Default Distraction series. I highly recommend reading book one before reading this book because beside being a great read itself, it will give you an introduction to many of the characters you see in book two. Also, there are some scenes in book two that you will have seen in book one just from a new point of view.

Lauren has had her heart broken but she’s moved passed it and has become a successful business owner. Rafferty is past or Default Distraction and they are back in town. Lauren resolves to stay away from anywhere they may be. She worked hard to rebuild her life and she doesn’t want to risk getting hurt again. Rafferty knows the mistake he made but will Lauren give him another chance?

This book is an emotional roller coaster but you truly feel like you feel what the characters are feeling. I could feel Lauren’s pain but I wanted happiness for both Lauren and Rafferty. I absolutely recommend this book!!

Four Stars

I couldn’t imagine going through life the way this couple has. The uncertainty and pain. Knowing that you will never love another the way you love them. The author showed us that no matter the situation there can be something beautiful that comes out of it. That even though you’ve given up on a HEA that doesn’t mean there isn’t one coming your way. I liked Raff because he knew he needed to change and he did. I liked the band mates because they changed as a unit. Loz was an ok character she chose silence and revenge over talking. She wanted to hurt him. I know not everyone is straightforward but to take the words of a child to heart without bringing it up to the other person is stupid. She didn’t want to break his trust. That’s hogwash. Overall a good story though.

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2) by A.S. Roberts is a contemporary second chance romance. The past does not always stay left behind, but may coming roaring back seeking to realign. After reading Brody – the first book in the series, I couldn’t wait to read Rafferty’s story. I was not disappointed. There is such raw emotion, hurt, pain and regrets laid out in this story along with choices made to rise above the mistakes or wrong choices made in the past. The way A.S. Roberts portrayed this story in relation to the series was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well thought out and evenly paced, adding intrigue, suspense and sizzling chemistry where it felt right. Another great novel from this author.

Rafferty is the 2nd book in the fantastic Default Distraction series by A.S. Roberts. This book runs along the same timeline as Brody, the first book in the series. We are introduced to Rafferty and Lauren is the first book and by the snippets we got of their story, I knew that their book was going to be awesome. I was so right. I loved this book, so much.
Raff and Lauren were childhood sweethearts but Lauren was left devastated when Rafferty walked out on her. 17 years later they meet again. Although 17 years have passed, both are still in love with each other and Raff plans to do everything possible to get the woman of his dreams back.
Although still in love with Raff, Lauren can’t face her heart being broken again so does everything possible to keep Raff at bay but the man just isn’t taking no for an answer.
This is a beautiful second chance romance that will have you gripped from the very first page (or if you are like me, from the previous book in the series!) The characters are very well written and as the story is written from both points of view, you get a deep look at what’s inside both of their heads. You can see the emotions and anguish that both are going through.
Technically this book can be read as a standalone, but as the previous book in the series ‘Brody’ is also fantastic, I’d recommend that you read them both. And like me, I’m sure you will be excited to see what the author has in store for the other 2 DD boys.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was actually a tad sideswiped with Rafferty. But in all the perfect ways!

It is the second book in the Default Distraction series from A.S. Roberts, and really it truly was quite different from the first. I actually enjoyed this one and connected with the characters, Raff and Lauren, on a much better level than I did so with book one, Brody. Both being good however, I would still go back and read that one if you haven’t had a chance and enjoyed this one. They are definitely different enough that the order would not make much of a difference in my opinion. Raff and Lauren were such a sweet couple to read about. For seventeen years they are lovers, and yet they still find that love not capable of surviving the the separation caused by illness. This is is their second chance at love. Will they be able to get it right this time?

I can’t wait to find out what we will get with the next book in the Default Distraction series, I can’t even begin to imagine what A.S. Roberts has up her sleeves with the way this one turned out. All I know it I am going to be first in line to grab my copy.

This is the 5th or 6th book that I have read by this author now and I always think maybe this will be the one that won’t be quite as good as the one before, she can’t possibly write another 5 star book but I am SO glad that I was wrong because it WAS just as amazing and it WAS another 5 star read!! A.S. Roberts is by far one of my favourite authors, her fated series is still my favourite to read over and over again and the Default Distraction series is shaping up to be just as amazing! Rafferty was just an outstanding read! From beginning to end I was completely captivated and blown away by what I was reading. Rafferty and Lauren were just simply amazing characters to read about, I felt like I was with them every step of their heart breaking journey – I was willing them to be together, I was hoping Lauren would get past what had happened between them previously and I was shouting at Raff to do something to win Lauren over! I was fully invested in their story and more!
I honestly cannot wait for the next book in the series! I just know it is going to be as amazing as this one is!!
Well Done Ms Roberts on another outstanding story!!

I love how much depth and emotions was in this novel it really had me captivated i just couldn’t put it down. Also what this book make you realise is no matter how much you fight against your feelings you alwayd end up following your heart in the end especially when you know its meant to be and in this story that is the case. Such a beautiful novel which i highly recommend reading it can be read as a standalone but i do think its best to read the 1st novel first.

Rafferty is the second book in the Default Distraction series and is a contemporary romance. I loved this one just as much as i loved the first one. It can be read as a standalone but falling for these guys is inevitable and i highly recommend reading Brody as well. The characters in this story are Lauren and Rafferty. Lauren is a successful business owner and Rafferty is a member of the rock band Default Distraction. These two have a past and sadly it isn’t a good one. They still have so much chemistry between them but is that enough for Lauren to take a chance on a relationship? or is the heartbreak from the past still too painful that there isn’t any hope for the future?
These guys were one of those couples that i couldn’t help but love and root for from the very beginning and i was excited to see where the author was headed with their story. I didn’t want to put it down. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend this to a friend!

A story of overcoming obstacles and ones true love.

Lauren has had her heartbroken as a teen. Her highschool sweetheart crushed her dreams. Now she is back home helping her friends. And guess who walks in? Will Lauren keep to her plan and stay away? Will he leave her be? Only reading this story will answer those questions. Just remember the chocolates, kleenex and a glass of wine.

This story will not disappoint! You will travel a much different road with this one. A. S. Roberts has really written a wonderful story. Again she captured my heart on the first chapter. As well as kept me reading. No Spoilers here! Take the chance and read her story. You’ll fall in love with her characters as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Way to go A. S. Roberts!

Rafferty by A.S. Roberts is the second book in the Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however, usual from most books, this one does recover scenes from book one but from a different perspective. For this reason I would recommend reading them in order.
I enjoyed every bit about this book – from the character, to the story to the depth of the emotions you can feel in each page. Books about a band aren’t normally my favourite as I find them to be quite predictable and one dimensional but that is definitely not the case with this series. The author has done a great job of creating a story so heartwarming and emotional that you can’t stop reading. I was rooting for Rafferty and Lauren all the way through.
I am very excited to see what else is to come from this series.

Rafferty is the second book in the Default Distraction series by A.S. Roberts. This second chance rock-star romance was emotional from the first chapter to the last. It had a great build-up and kept you turning the pages.

As teenagers, Rafferty walked away from Lauren without a reason. After seventeen years apart, can Rafferty and Lauren have a second chance at love or are some things hard to forgive?

Rafferty and Lauren’s love is that “Forever & Always” type of love, one that consumes you and makes you want to find that special one in your life. It was great to see the other members of the band and I need to know who the next member is that will find his love.

5 Stars – CHECK

RAFFERTY is book two in the Default Distraction series yet can be read as a stand-alone. Like the other books written by this author, this is a story that has multiple layers, secondary characters that play an important role, slow burn and angst and emotions galore. Oh, and romance.

I have always enjoyed reading this author. There is a way the story is told that just flows naturally and my emotions tend to go with the flow. Rafferty and Lauren had a lot going for them and I found that at times I kind of had that pit in my stomach, like it was going to go all wrong. That’s good story telling.

I absolutely recommend this book, this series and this author. Oh and the cover wasn’t hard to look at either.

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2) by A.S. Roberts – Review by Shannon Fowler

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)Rafferty by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“It was almost better this way, we had found each other at a time in our lives when we could truly appreciate exactly what we’d been denied and what we’d been missing.”

Roberts has continued the Default Distraction series with Rafferty. This book can be read as a stand- alone but there are some references to the first book, Brody, which will make you want to read it anyways. So just start at the beginning and enjoy!

Rafferty and Lauren were teenage best friends, lovers, and soul mates. However, illness, rock stardom and life gets in the way of love and these two are separated for all the wrong reasons. Many years later they are reunited, hopefully it’s not too late for them. There are a lot of secrets to be revealed and truths to discover.

I loved this story and the characters in it. I love the flow of the story line itself. Roberts writes a story that I can believe and escape into, making me look forward to the next story she writes!

Rafferty (Default Distraction #2)Rafferty by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rafferty by A.S. Robert’s is the second book in the Default Distraction series. It took me a minute to remember all of the characters from the last book since it had been a while, but once I did it was like I was with a group of friends.

Rafferty and Lauren had an amazingly deep love at a very young age and knew they were it for each other. Things happen and several years later they reconnected. So much of both of their lives are different but one thing that hasn’t changed is the way they feel about one another no matter how much in denial one can be.

I loved Brody’s story which runs concurrently with this story but there was something intense with Raff and Lauren.

This could be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the first book before getting to this one. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
