Luke by A.S. Roberts
This is the 4th book in this series and it was just as amazing as the others! This Author does not disappoint! This was another one day read for me and it’s just not possible to put it down! Again, the Author makes you feel like your right in the story watching everything happen and makes you feel what the characters feel. This was amazing!

Oh my! Sooo, THIS BOOK IS SO GOOOOD! Loved, loved, loved Luke’s story 😍 Author blew me away with this one. It does belong in a series BUT it can be read as a standalone. I loved every minute spent reading this. The ending was perfection as well. Reading this you are in for a steamy, fun, phenomenal page turner. Plotline and characters were awesome! Amazing end to a series!

This is the second book I’ve read by the author. Luke is another amazing book. So far the Default Distraction Series is amazing. I will be on the lookout for more.
Luke has had it hard his entire life. In comes Nikki and she changes everything. Luke is nostalgic and thinks of someone from the past. The quote I chose for Luke is: “She could have had it with us.”
Nikki is one of the few who get to get close to members of Default Distraction. When she catches Luke’s eye things change. The quote I chose for Nikki is: “Would it work if I said I wasn’t hungry?”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind in her writing. This is the fourth book of the very addictive Default Distraction series. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not stop until the end and I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
Luke was given up by both parents. He was raised in an orphanage by the only father figure he knew. Luke is now a single dad and band member to a very well known group. He wants his daughter to have the best life that he didn’t have. Luke is starting a tour and he needs a nanny to help out. He is shocked to find out that his new nanny is the girl he saw one day and he can’t stop thinking about it. Luke knows he is not good at relationships but there’s something about her he can’t get over. Will Luke be able to find love or will it slip through his hands once again?

A.S Robert’s does a good job of bringing you into this Rockstar romance novel. This is book 4 in the series but I think you could read this as a stand alone as well. The author really draws you in this story and you can’t help but really feel for Luke and his past. I honestly had to have a box of tissues next to me for some chapters. Roberts does an amazing job paying attention to details in the story and really makes Nikki and Luke come to life!

Luke by A. S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book 4 in a 4 part series. I have also read book 3 these two seem to be written in roughly the same time period but focused on a different couple, so there are eastereggs from and about the other book(s).
In this book we get to read about Luke and his adorable daughter, Brielle aka Brie, and how they are both looking for a fun loving nanny to join them. I love how much of an adoring father Luke is. While he is still a rocker at heart, he has put his daughter first and focuses on her needs. He knows what it is like to have no parental figure as he was abandoned as a baby. Of course being a good dad, Luke asks what Brie wants in a nanny and she states she wants someone fun, pretty, and who can dance.
Enter Nikki, a specially trained nanny who is looking for a new placement, and who is a HUGE Default Distraction fan, specifically Luke’s.
I love that Nikki is not the stereotypical nanny. She has a few tattoo’s, is on the younger side, and has her tongue pierced. She’s also a trained ballet dancer, which Brie loves. While I really enjoy Nikki personally, I love her family, and how big her/their heart is for others. I also appreciate that we have a character with a major disability that is not talked about in passing, or that is just brushed aside.
The romance that builds between Luke and Nikki feels organic and well thought out. It is not rushed, and in fact there’s many instances that had me laughing out loud at the antics of the characters. I love how the band members are all also rooting for one another to find happiness instead of whining and complaining about it, which seems to be popular among musician romance books.
Having read book 3 and 4, I certainly need to go back and read 1 and 2 because I have questions, darn it! But I would also love to see more of Brielle and Flint in future books or novellas to see where they end up. Ah, the life of a rockstar child.

Moving to a new country with his daughter, rockstar Luke, is trying to do right by his little girl. But his attraction to the nanny could spell trouble.
Nikki has had her eye on Luke for some time and she is living with him as his daughters nanny. When there’s a possibility that he might felt the same, will she risk her job?
I have not read any of the previous novels but I really enjoyed this. I don’t read rockstar novels often but I’m glad I picked this up.
It was a quick read, with great lovable characters but I could not put it down.
Nikki’s personality I just loved and Luke talking about his past just broke my heart.
I plan on reading the other books in the series to know more about the characters and their stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Luke is the fourth book in the Default Distraction series. From the first page this book hooked me, and I was eager to learn more about who Luke was. Luke is a man that knows little about his past or where he came from. His early life is quite tragic, and because of that he feels like there’s a piece of himself that’s missing. Luke’s rock band, Default Distraction, is highly successful but no amount of money, fame, fortune, or fans can replace the piece of Luke that is missing. Despite his early beginnings, he is determined to become a better person and to give his young daughter the life that he never had. Luke is determined to be there for his little girl and always protect her and wants his daughter to know the sense of having family and belonging.
Nikki has had a quite different upbringing than Luke and comes from a very close-knit family. Suddenly tragedy strikes and her world is turned upside down. Nikki is now broke, jobless, and no longer feels as though she knows who she is. To provide for herself and her family Nikki takes on the job as nanny for Luke and his young daughter.
What nobody expects is for the sparks to fly between Nikki and Luke. Nikki doesn’t want to risk losing her job or losing the little girl that she has come to love so she tries to deny her attraction to Luke. The chemistry is something that Luke also feels but tries to deny because he does not want to risk losing the woman that his daughter has come to love. The risks are too great for both Nikki and Luke and there is too much at stake for them both to lose. Yet, it is hard to deny the chemistry and attraction between the two of them. Will they risk losing everything to be together?
Luke had great characters in it, and I loved learning more about the backstory of the character of Luke. It is very well written and is a story unlike most others. Although it could be a standalone book and read on its own, I would recommend reading the other three books in the series first.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a great book with a very compelling story line. The final story in the series really captured my heart and my attention. This is a page turner and I was unable to put it down until I read every last word. While it belongs to a series (a pretty great series too) it can be read as a stand alone.
Luke and Nikki are from different families with a lot of the same flaws. Their backgrounds make them cautious to let their hearts fall for each other. Luke has a four year old daughter, Brie and he needs a nanny for her. Nikki has had a major teenage crush on Luke forever as he is in her favorite band. She interviews for the nanny position and gets it. Their attraction is instant but can they let the past hurts go and allow love to heal them? Definitely worth the read!! Just grab some tissues as you will need them, this book is full of emotions.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Luke was a foundling, left on the church steps so from an early age he wanted more, so when he met the three other brothers his life changed. That’s when he met who he thought was the love of his life but with drugs and alcohol they could not be enough for each other and then when he became a father and then lost his wife , could he live again or just survive.
Nikki has lived her life trying to help her family as the oldest daughter to a single parent she has always had responsibilities, but when her job as a nanny for a mega music producer hits the rocks she feels she is letting her family down, but when I chance meeting and a advert in the local village message board has her head in a spin not only is he handsome and his daughter a cutie but he is her teenage dream. Can she be professional enough to just be a nanny or will she give love a chance and jump straight in.
I can’t believe this is the last book in the series as I feel I am so invested into this family group that I want to know what’s happens after, does Brie grow up to be a dancer, Does Flint do what his heart wants to do. Do they all live in UK and live happily please tell me.
I loved the characters of Nikki she was full of Sass and as we say spit and vinegar, I loved that she was not intimidated by the Rockstar in Luke, I loved that you got to see the other side to him the vulnerable child still in him and him evaluating his life before Nikki.
The story flowed brilliantly and the characters were well developed and written, I loved this whole series with the same timeline but to peak into each of their lives and see how the whole dramas play out was brilliantly. I would recommend this series as a great emotional read and that you are pulled so far into these characters lives you feel like you are living each moment with them.
Thank you for such a great series and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

I thought this book was a great read. Luke is in a band with a few other men who are like family to him. Luke is going thru some stuff and he can’t help all these feelings he has. He is a widow but, he’s not alone. He has his beautiful daughter he needs to care for and love.
Nikki is a nanny who is going thru some stuff Also. Everyone has a past but, not everyone can’t leave that stuff behind and start fresh.
I thought this book was perfectly written. There was a lot of info the author gave the reader so nothing was left to questions. I loved the characters and I love how this book came together. Definitely a 5 star read for me.

LUKE (DEFAULT DISTRACTION #4) by A. S. Roberts. This is such a good series and I fall in love with each main character. In this book I fell in love with Luke who is in the band Default Distraction and who’s life is his little girl. Luke has made a lot of mistakes in the past and he feels like his troubles now are caused from those mistakes. When he decides to start over and in doing so he hires a nanny to help with his daughter. Luke is has decided he is going to concentrate on his band and daughter and that’s it. When he hires Nikki to be his nanny sparks fly immediately but they both are fighting it. Nikki is having the best time getting to know Brielle and Luke and they have formed a sort of family. Nikki has been fighting her attraction to Luke even though she feels that he feels the same. Will they risk their hearts on each other and try to be a real family. Read Luke to find out!

“Our mistakes and failures don’t define us; they don’t hold us back. It’s our own fears and regrets that do that.” This quote, along with a few others from this amazing love story really hit home. I have to say, this one just about sums up how I’ve been feeling as of late, and the way it’s integrated into Luke and Nikki’s story, gave me the chills. I adore the writing style, and between this and Cade that I read before, I’m hooked. As soon as I have the time, I will be reading the two other novels in this series, and will be recommending them to others, as well.
Between the devastating back story that comes with Luke, and has made him into the person he is, holding everyone (except his Double D brothers, and his daughter Brie) at arm’s length to protect himself, and the way Nikki melts through to him, and cares deeply for his daughter as if she were her own, was addictive. I refused to book this book down, every chance I had, it was being devoured, and I cannot wait to read more by this author. Wow!

Luke and Nikki fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Poor Luke started out his life as an innocent baby that had been abandoned by his mother. Then he tragically loses his wife and is left to raise his beautiful daughter Brielle. Luckily his band mates step up and help her to have a family but Luke and Brielle are still missing something very important-a special female influence. The way that Luke first comes across Nikki made me burst out laughing! It was definitely fate and perhaps even Cherise that brought the two of them together the way it did. The way that Luke got so upset when he thought that her teenage crush had been on Cody was so adorable. They both try to fight their growing attraction but there’s no denying how perfectly they fit together. This book made me swoon, tear up and laugh out loud and the ending absolutely took my breath away with its perfection.

Let me tell you! Wow! This story is amazing. The author knows how to tell a story and keep it interesting all the way through. I was so impressed with this story line and will most definitely go back and read the first three books in the series!
Luke, a single dad, is in a band and needs to find a nanny to watch his wonderful daughter while he is away.
Here comes Nikki, a nanny. She might be a fan favorite. Or at least a fan of Luke’s band! Will things heat up between these two! Will her true fan girl come out!
This story will keep you strumming along till the last beat.

Who doesn’t love a Rockstar Romance? Luke is book four in the amazing Default Distraction series. And WOW did it deliver! I couldn’t put it down!
This is my first read by this author and I read it as a stand alone. But now, I’m really needing to go back and read books one through three.
There were so many feelings with this one… Love, loss, heartbreak, healing…
Luke and Nikki’s story is one of the “must reads”!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Luke is the 4th book of the series, and while you can read it as a standalone (I did) but I think it would be better to read the other books first and get a better understanding of the other guys and the backstory.
Luke is heartbreaking, sweet, and his chemistry with Nikki is off the charts. I love Nikki’s attitude, how she knows who she is and owns it. They both have baggage and are doing their best to get past it. Brie is absolutely adorable and I loved the relationships she had with her uncles. The immediate connection she has with Nikki is awesome too. This is a good rock star romance. I think my favorite part is when Luke asks who Nikki’s favorite DD member is!

Luke and Nikki are a great couple. Nikki is a nanny that is hired by Luke to take care of his daughter. The journey of these two is one that will keep you turning the pages. I don’t want to give anything away but I love these characters. This is the 4th book in the series and I have to say I will read this one again.

5 out of 5 Stars
This series is amazing! The characters are fantastically flawed with luggage, not just baggage, that are trying to be better humans. The characters are funny, caring, delicate, intelligent and despite being rock stars, completely relatable.
Luke McKenzie is haunted by the trauma of his childhood and the guilt of his wife’s death. Now he is raising his daughter with the help of his bandmates. After his most recent nanny left to start a family of her own, Luke is now looking for a new one. He has to meet his daughter’s very strict list of qualifications, including loves to dance.
Nikki Osborne has recently returned home after a disastrous experience at her last nanny job. She agreed to help out the local dance instructor with some lessons while looking for her next position. When Luke finds Nikki’s advert for an opening, he thinks he has found the perfect fit for his daughter. Is she also the perfect fit for Luke?
The emotional rollercoaster the author takes you through keeps you flipping those pages. I lost track of time and couldn’t put this one down. I am a Double D girl for life.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I fell in love with Luke and Nikki. Their story was full of passion, love, drama, and of course secrets that could make or break everything. Each one is trying to better their lives for themselves and those they love. As you watch them come together you will want to fight for their love as much as you want them to fight for it.
Luke plays bass for Default Distraction and is currently in need of a nanny for his daughter Brie. Already having gone through so much he wants to make sure its someone who is loving and can connect with him and his daughter. When Nikki comes along everything points to her being the one for the job..and possibly even for him. Together they must go through many ups and downs to find the common ground they need to be together with nothing but love and truth between them.
Its a great story!

Luke (Default Distraction #4)by A.S. Roberts
5 out of 5 stars
This is the fourth book in the Default Distraction. This is an amazing author that can pin an amazing story that talks about real problems not fake. I have read a few of this authors books and her books just get better. The characters are well written and amazing the love the little quirks these characters have.
We met Luke in the other three books.
Luke was born with nothing he fought his way to the top until he almost lost himself and everything he has fought for. Now he his fighting for not just himself but for his daughter’s sake. So here they are in another country opening a hotel.
Now he has hired a nanny names Nikki and she is perfect for her but even more perfect for Luke. But Luke learned from his mistakes he can’t do relationships.
Can Luke overcome his demons? Will Luke give in and let Nikki into his heart and life or will he walk away?
I highly recommend this book/series…

5-stars
This is the fourth book of the Default Distraction series, a series that I would recommend reading in order as this series follows the same group of guys and the progression of their lives. I have loved every single book I’ve read by this author and this one was no different. This Rockstar romance series is one of my all-time favorites and one that I would recommend to everyone!!
I loved Luke’s story, it was touching and heartbreaking all at the same time, and I loved getting to know him on a deeper level, he was definitely the perfect swoon worthy character. Nikki and Luke’s chemistry could be felt through the pages and I enjoyed how fast their relationship progressed and I of course loved the way that their story played out. I cannot wait to read more from this author asap!! This is a series you won’t want to miss!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first of the Default Distraction books I have read but am adding the first three books to my TBR list so I can get to know all the guys in the band better.
This is Luke and Nikki’s story. He is a single father to a precious four-year-old daughter. Their back story is very moving but am so proud of Luke and the band for being family to each other and rising above what life has thrown at them.
Nikki is a nanny, who had a teenage crush on Luke, who is in her favorite band. When she interviews to be a nanny for his daughter, she has a hard time not being that fangirl. Can Nikki be perfect for Luke and his daughter? Or will she stay just the nanny?
I really enjoyed this book and all the characters and how they connect to each other. I find that I love a good book that shows people having each other’s backs through thick and thin.

This is Book 4 in the series. Lukes a single dad now to a lovely little girl. It’s quite a raw book I disagree with it been able to be read as a stand alone. Default Distraction is a very emotionally heavy book and pulls on your heart strings. The little girl was thevl highlight for me. I am going bakc to reread the whole series to get a better feeling for the characters
I would highly recommend reading the other before this one or your missing half of the story and don’t feel as connect to the characters.

I was extremely excited to see this arrive! I love all the others in the series. So I dug right in. I am glad the author saved Luke for last because his story was out (in previous books) and I was curious how she would spin it. I was and wasn’t disappointed. The bad first…It starts off slow until about Chapter 10. There are a lot of details that seemed more filler. Questions asked in conversation then two pages later an answer. In all honesty, I did skim over that stuff and went right to the answer.
I loved a lot about this story! The author does a great job recreating scenes in previous books but this time give us Luke’s perspective (That scene where they play in the hotel-is great). I enjoyed seeing more of Flint and Brie and the fun they have. The band members are also in here and I loved seeing their fun sides as well as their professional sides.
Overall I enjoyed Luke’s story, especially the Epilogue and the ending after that! A perfect ending to the series.

Please, please, please let there be a next generation of this series. I love these guys and I’m so not ready to say goodbye to Default Distraction.
I loved all of the guys but I think Luke may be my favorite. Was it his back story? Maybe that has something to do with it but there was something about him that made me love him just a bit more than thenother guys.
Nikki is almost as amazing as Luke but for totally different reasons. She had a who cares what people think attitude and it was a perfect fit with Luke and the boys.
I don’t know if I could gave enjoyed this book or series more than I did and I will keep my eye out for the kids stories one day. 🤞🤞🤞

LUKE (DEFAULT DISTRACTION #4) by A. S. Roberts
• Luke is the fourth book in Default Distraction by A.S. Roberts and Holy Cow just when I didn’t think this series could get any better then Boom Luke’s story. I wish I could give this way more than five stars because this author definitely deserves it. I’m a huge fan of Rock Star Romances and this one definitely takes the cake. The characters are well developed and easy to fall in love with. I love them all and the way they all stand up for each other made my heart happy. This is Luke and Nikki’s story. She comes from a tight nit family and would do anything for them. She’s a Nanny who finds herself in need of a new job and finds herself in a interview with Luke who she’s had a major crush on since she was a teenager. She of course takes the job and finds that even though she is not a teenager she’s definitely attracted to him probably more than ever. Luke pretty much came from nothing and climbed his way up to the top. He really had issues with acceptance and letting go. He has it all ,a band with some pretty amazing men a beautiful daughter who is his everything and then in walks Nikki. Luke feels something with her he hasn’t in a long time but he feels a bit guilty in ways. Both of them are attracted to the other. Can these two have a relationship? Will she be enough to keep him and the job? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

I have really loved all of the Default Distraction books from the get go but, this sucker really took the cake! LUKE has to be the absolute favorite of mine of them all. I really enjoyed him for sure and his daughter Brielle as they fell in love with Nikki, who I also quickly fell in love with. I usually love Rockstar romances but AS Roberts really does a fantastic job of making her characters believable. Even the rockstars. That is not an easy task and I can always relate to them as well which I just love when I read romance novels. These books can all be read as standalones but I would recommend that you read them in order for the maximum enjoyment. Everything really builds and blends so well as you go in my opinion. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Ms. Roberts.

In this book Luke needs a nanny for his daughter and Nikki needs a job. Nikki becomes Luke’s nanny. Nikki and Luke feel an instant attraction for one another. Luke struggles with his abandonment issues. Overall a good romance story. I liked Nikki as a character. This is the first book I read in this series. I might go back and read the others.
Luke by A.S. Roberts
Luke has just moved to a new country with his band and young daughter. As the band is making decision about what to do moving forward he must find someone to help care for his daughter. His wife sadly passed away leaving him not only a widower, but a single father. Nikki finds herself needing to step up and provide for her family after her father left. Isn’t it just her luck that Luke of the band Default Distraction is looking for a nanny? Desperate for money she takes the job, but soon lines get blurred. Is it worth the risk of losing her job to give in to her attraction?
