Sing For Me (Balefire, #2)Sing For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous book in this series I was looking forward to being back with the members of the band, Balefire, and I was not disappointed. This is lead singer Blu’s story, his entire life is his music and he loves everything that comes with it, “sex, booze and rock ‘n’ roll”. Whilst touring with the band Blu has his pick of female groupies and celebrities keen to be seen with him, and he’s usually fine with one night flings, until he meets Ashleigh. Ashleigh Baker is the girl next door who spends her days creating flower show pieces, in her cute floppy hat and with dirt on her knees. Unfortunately for Blu, whilst she’s all he can think about, she just wants to avoid him, and she does. Ashleigh is a freelance music reviewer, who’s happy with her little house with a much longed for long term lease. She can’t believe it when the guy on the Harley, her neighbour, is actually Blu Connolly from her favourite band. However Ashleigh is well aware of his reputation and has no plans to get involved with him, even though he’s temptation on two legs. Her plan to avoid him would be easier if Blu wasn’t on a mission to spend as much time as possible with her. This was a heartwarming opposites attract romance which kept me gripped throughout. Once again the descriptive narrative brought the characters and setting vividly to life, and made me feel apart of the Balefire bands world!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Playboy rockstar Blu Connolly is heading home to visit his mother while his band is on hiatus from touring. He just needs a little time with his mom, some of her great cooking, and some time to be anonymous in his hometown. Blu’s plans are quickly thwarted by his mom’s new neighbor.

Ashleigh Baker has finally found a place that she can call home and put down some roots. After growing up with a military father, constantly on the move, she has found a spot where the landlord encourages her hobby of planting flowers. When Ashleigh figured out who she was living next to she never thought she would actually get to meet the lead singer for one of her all-time favorite bands. Ashleigh spends her time as a substitute teacher and freelance music reviewer.

The moment Blu arrives in the neighborhood, he loudly announces his presence by revving his motorcycle loudly late one night. Ashleigh, not caring that he is famous, comes out and tears him a new one for being rude. Blu is entranced by this angry beauty. He starts finding reasons to be around her. No matter how charming he tries to be, Ashleigh isn’t falling for it because of his reputation and she knows that eventually he will be leaving. No reason to get attached. But things don’t always go as planned.

Through women blatantly throwing themselves at Blu, he stays true to Ashleigh. She slowly starts to trust and believe that Blu can be the man she needs. When the band’s manager purposely plots to break up Blu and Ashleigh, things get explosive only the way they can in the world of rock ‘n’ roll!

There is so much good in this one. It keeps you reading. You have hope for Blu, that he really is a changed man. When you learn the reason that his mother doesn’t want to move, it gets you all misty. Excellent story. Great read!!

This is the 2nd book in the Balefire Series. Even though it can be read as a standalone I do recommend reading them in order so you get a deeper understanding of all the characters and their personalities. This is a rock star romance which I love. The main characters in this book are so well written and just how you would imagine a romance with a rock star to be. Ashleigh lives a quiet life. She loves her work and lives for her garden. She knows who Blu is and is a fan of Balefire but she also knows about Blus reputation and she isn’t silly enough to fall into his trap and get her heart broken.
Blu is the lead singer of Balefire. His voice mesmerises and has women falling on their knees in front of him all the time. Because of this Blu has a reputation of a playboy. He has different women all the time and never pays attention to who they are. It’s part of his life style and if women are prepared to drop their knickers for him when ever he asks then of courses he’s going to enjoy the perk.
Women are putty in his hands. Until he meets Ashleigh. She doesn’t fall or go doe eyed in his presence. In fact she comes across like she hates the ground he walks on.
To Blu this is a breath of fresh air and makes her more appealing to him. As their attraction grows he realises he needs her in his life to be more than just a conquest but will Ashleigh see past the reputation and the playboy image and open her heart to him?

This is a rollercoaster ride of a read. Blu messes up countless times as he learns to navigate the situation he finds himself in. This is a slow burn romance and what I love about it is that Ashleigh is strong enough to put Blu in his place. Their relationship isn’t plain sailing but the journey is beautiful to watch.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. Being that this book is part of a series, reading book one will be helpful but not necessary. I love Rockstar romance and this one did not disappoint. We see more into Blu and his bad boy rocker life. He decides to take a break and ends up meeting someone that intrigues him. Ashleigh knows who he is and tries to keep him at arms length due to his colorful past. As they spend more time together they develop a friendship that Blu wants to take further but Ashleigh isn’t quite sure. Will he be able to get through her walls? Can they have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great. The author does a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from this series. If you like Rockstar romance you will want to 1-click and get started today.

I gotta say I had fun reading this book. The chemistry between Ashleigh and Blu had me holding my sides when I was laughing. They were fun with each other and Ashleigh challenged Blu to be better and the shenanigans that Blu did to try and wear Ashleigh own had me in stitches. Both are really sweet characters and there were some moments where I wanted to beat them over their heads, but overall I really did like the characters. I love when author’s do the dual POV’s because its great getting an inside look of how the character’s thinking works. Out of all the characters in Sing For me, Blu’s mom was my absolute favorite. She was caring, wholesome and definitely made sure that Blu stayed grounded and didnt let him get away with things just because he was a big rockstar now. She seriously need her own book! I can’t wait to read about the other band members books, and for sure will be adding this author to my bookshelf so I can read her books over and over again!

Wowza! Tam has done it again for me. Blu and Ashleigh are everything I love in a pair. Her no nonsense attitude and his playboy lifestyle, I knew it was going to be electric from the jump, and I was NOT disappointed. Their chemistry through this book was OFF the charts, no matter how much one or the other was trying to deny it. This world (the rock & roll world) has always been a world I love to get lost in. And Ash just fits into so perfectly. I love her drive and determination to make sure she is still her own person. This story is one I will definitely be reading more than once. I can’t wait to read more of the Balefire books. They are gonna be ELECTRIC!!!

I absolutely loved this book!!!! Blue is a musician and Ashleigh is a music reviewer. When I first started this book, I had no idea what I was getting into, however it definitely turned into one of my favorites. I can’t wait to read more from Tam DeRudder Jackson!!!! I want to read the whole Balefire series now. This story leads down some weary roads but it might end somewhere along the best road of living and knowing where Blu’s life might end up. There are some moments in this story that make it seem more real then anything. I love how Tam’s books always makes me feel connected to them.

Sing For Me
By: Tam DeRudder Jackson

I have enjoyed each and everyone of the Balefire Series I have read. I love a good rockstar book and Tam DeRudder Jackson is one of the best I have read at writing them. Blu and Ashleigh were fantastic characters, who were dynamic together. They had wonderful banter and I enjoyed reading the two of them interact with one another. I also love how well she uses a dual perspective to tell this story. I always enjoy (when it is done well) seeing the characters alternate in telling the story, she also gives enough of an overlap that you feel that you are seeing things from both perspectives. I have read all of the series and enjoy each and every one, but if this is the first one you are drawn to, you can definitely read it as a standalone. This is a fantastic book and I am excited to see what happens next in the Balefire Series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blu Connolly has the world at his finger tips, the lead singer of one of the most successful rock bands in America and the world. Girls have never been a problem and the variety is the spice of life but as the Asian tour comes to a end Blu decides to spend sometime with him mom.

Ashleigh is an army brat moving from base to base she is pleased that she has a home base and a lovely garden she can tend to and create a beautiful, tranquil space. Being friends with her next-door neighbour is a highlight on a Saturday when they indulge in lunch, she is enjoying her life. Then he comes riding into her life and will things be the same again.

Blu comes riding into his mom’s street on his Harley and revving his engine to upset his mom’s neighbour but when a blonde bombshell coming charging out and has a go at him, he then has a attraction to her that he can’t seem to shake. As they get to know each other can Ashleigh get past the cocky image of the lead singer to the Blu who helps in her garden and is normal and sweet, you will need to read to find out.

This is the second book in this series and it is just as good as the first, with the characters that are so well developed and suited for each other. The story flows brilliantly and I am so glad to ready about Blu and Ash. Although this book can be read as a standalone story the first book in this series is just as good.

Blu and Ash have a chemistry that just jumps off the page and you get to see a different side to him from the first book, you tend to have the same attitude as Ashleigh when first meeting Blu as the arrogant lead singer but his softer side it beautiful to read.

Can wait to read the next book in this series.

The Lead singer’s story
The second book in the Balefire series is Blu Connolly’s story. As the lead singer of Balefire he has had a life full of touring and everything that comes with a rock ‘n’ roll life but didn’t know what he needed until Ashleigh. What follows is a brilliant contemporary rockstar romance that had me hooked. With off the charts chemistry, medium burn romance, some steam, relatable characters and strong storyline it’s a worthy read. Even though this can be read as a stand-alone it is worth starting with book 1 – you won’t be disappointed. Highly Recommend.

4.5 Stars

 

Sing For Me is the second book in the Balefire series by Tam DeRudder Jackson. It is a New Adult contemporary rockstar romance with ‘the girl-next-door’ element, tension, chemistry, sparks, emotion, secrets, drama, angst, and hot spicy details.
I know that I have come into this series a little backwards, reading in descending order, but luckily these books can be read as standalones without feeling lost in the storyline, as each book in the series focuses on a different member of the Balefire rock band.
This is Blu Connolly’s turn, and he’s the sexy lead singer of the band. Ashleigh is his new next-door neighbour who captivates Blu more than he was prepared for. But, sometimes love comes unexpectedly- as these two discover.
Definitely my favourite of the series, so far.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Tam DeRudder Jackson!

First up I have to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this fun series!! Set around the Rock Band Balefire each book is full of fantastic characters and interesting storylines. Some of them you will love and some you will love to hate!! lol well I know I sure did anyway. This book is set around Balefires lead singer Blu who meets his mums neighbour Ashleigh and is instantly attracted to her but for the first time in a very long time he has to actually work to make a connection with her instead of her just falling for him straight away because of who he is. I love these two characters so much and loved reading their story as they come together. I can’t wait to read more about the boys of Balefire. I love this authors style and fun storylines so I am sure there is a lot more fun coming our way with this amazing series. I say bring it on!!!!

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites for sure. I enjoy this author’s writing style as well as her attention to details to make the story realistic. A well written story about undeniable attraction and he has one mission, to wear her down. You don’t want to miss what these characters do. I found myself hoping they would get their HEA for sure. I enjoyed how creative and engaging the characters are. They add so much to the story which made it easy for me to read. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A story that is engaging and finds out what happens if the music stops. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed the story of Blu and Ashleigh. Blu showed that he had a softer side than the hard rocker that everyone thinks he is. Ashleigh finally mellowed from the uptight, thinking that he’s a pig-headed rocker, and saw him for his true side. I loved this story. It’s a quick read with lots of banter that will have you chuckling. I found Blu’s mom quite entertaining. She is lovely and funny. I think she needs her own story. The characters in this story made this so entertaining and humorous. The story is well-written and very well-done. Again, I love Colorado stories using our beautiful landmarks and trying to guess locations. The details in the writing are beautiful. This is a lovely romance for the rocker lockers and it’s a must.

4.5 stars
Sing For Me is the second book in the adult rock romance series Balefire. The books all carry on from each other, but it can be read as a standalone. It is an erotic contemporary story.
The series focus’ on each member of the band Balefire and this is Blu and Ashleigh’s story.
The story is told in dual POV giving a deeper depth to who the characters are. It is erotic, sensuous, seductive, passionate and intense. There is sex, booze, and rock ‘n’ roll. The story is a quick and easy read as we travel along with the pull and desire of the relationship.
Blu the lead singer of Balefire one of the hottest bands around and can’t help but fall for the neighbour that is so not his type. Game on!
Ashleigh loves her peaceful life, well her once peaceful life. When her sexy neighbour roars into town it takes all, her will power to ignore him. He of course has other ideas.
If you love erotic stories that are sexy full of rock ‘n’ roll and likable characters, then get your hands on this book and this series. You won’t regret it.

Blu

My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.

Ashleigh Baker is nothing like the groupies and celebrities who usually have all my attention. In her cute floppy hat with her knees stained with dirt, she spends her days creating a flowering show piece from her rented yard. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met, and she acts like she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with me. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, she’s all I can think about.

Ashleigh

Growing up the only child of an Air Force Colonel, all I wanted was to stay in one place for more than a minute. When I score a pretty little house with a long-term lease, I just want to grow my flowers and my freelancing gig as a music reviewer. Then a loud Harley wakes me from a sound sleep and I discover my neighbor is Blu Connolly. Yeah, that Blu Connolly, lead singer for my favorite band Balefire. With his killer good looks and panty-melting voice, he’s a walking temptation to sin. Though I do my best to avoid him, it seems Blu has other ideas. He’s on a mission to wear me down, let him in, but what happens when he stops wanting to sing for me?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hello ! How hot is this cover !? By now everyone knows I’m weak when it comes to coverart , what can I say I’m easy to please 😉❣️📚

I got the tail end of this series so I did feel like I missed out but that is no fault of the author it’s all on me 😉 so I’d recommend that you start at the beginning 🫶🏼

So from what I could gather Garrett wasn’t always the nicest guy but everyone deserves a second chance am I right or am I right !? He knows he messed up with Olivia and when she walks back into his life he wants to grab his second chance with both hands 🥰

Olivia tasted Garett’s rejection and she wasn’t going there any time soon but she’s got to put her pride in her pocket and work with to save herself and her company ….

Look make no mistake Olivia is no fading wallflower and she’s got sass and spunk but let’s be honest when it comes to love or love lost we all have kink in our armour and I think Garrett saw Olivia’s kink and went for it 🥰😉

This was more than just a love being rekindled it was about redemption , understanding , compassion and friendship , I loved being part of it all and I’ll be re reading this after I started at the beginning ❣️📚

Tam DeRudder did an amazing job on 4 and reading 5, I love it. The main character has a different setting than the other one. Here we have Garrett chancing dreams and leaving true love and Olivia working hard to become someone in Hollywood but love is not on her list since she does not know to trust him again.
Garrett becomes a rock star and leaves behind love, but sometimes love does have its way to come back but not the same as before.
Olivia looking to make herself well known in Hollywood but fate had different plans for her, of course, love is hard to trust at this point especially when he does not get it.

I am not a fan of hot and spicy novels but this one and the other one as well, all I say is OMG! Tam the author did an amazing job with these two characters Adam and Cristy.

I love how there are two sides to every story and Tam did a wonderful job on this. Adam’s side is mad crazy over Cristy, a hot, stiletto with a rock as a voice. When I read further I knew that she was hiding something that it made Adam want more.
Now on Cristy side of the story, she wanted Adam for herself but when I kept on reading I scream when she let herself to him. But she does not let him 100% because of her deep secret.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a feel-good romance and a perfect ending for The Balefire Series. Tam DeRudder Jackson has done it again in Stay For Me, by writing a very steamy, page-turning story that I could not put down from the second I opened the book. I have not been a big fan of Garrett throughout this series, hating him at times for trying to mess up everyone else’s happiness, since his own romance with Olivia had failed. Well everyone deserves a second chance, don’t they, even Garrett right? This was a great continuation, especially following the famous Balefire band, reuniting with all of our favorite characters and seeing how their own relationships are progressing. I love the spark that ignites between Garrett and Olivia, they are so perfectly matched together, and I am so happy to see the entire band finally get their happily-ever-after. Even if you’ve never read any of The Balefire Series books, they are so amazing that they could stand alone if you started with this book, but I highly recommend you go back and restart at the beginning once you’re done, you wouldn’t want to miss each of the band members stories of love, loss, and reconnections.

The author has done it again. She draws you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the last page. I feel like this book was a little bit heavier on the sweetness of the ever growing relationship of the main characters and a little less heavy on the romance part. It’s very much a feel good book but has enough mystery to keep you guessing until the end. Be prepared to fall in love with the characters and feel like you are right there with them.

Stay For Me (The Balefire Series Book 5)

I’m in love with each and every guy in Balefire and now I need to find the time go back and read their stories.

Each one of the guys has a different personality and Garrett while not in the band is one of the guys in every other sense of the word.

Garrett has made several mistakes in his life and while working with Balefire, some almost destroyed him, but I think his biggest regret was Olivia.

Olivia is just so cool. I would love to be like her if I were to ever grow up.

I will be looking at Ms. DeRudder Jackson’s current library and looking for more from her in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in The Balefire Series, but the first one that I have read. Man I was seriously missing out! This book was so good. The characters have so many facets that you just can’t help but be pulled along for the ride. Garrett and Olivia both chose their career over being together 10 years ago. Now when their careers bring them face to face again will the old flame reignite? Ok now I am off to read the first 4 books in this series cause I totally need more of this world.

I love love love second chance romances! I love reading how people can forgive even if they can’t forget. Knowing that just because something didn’t work out the first time doesn’t mean it can’t work out again years later. I love this series so I knew I was going to love this read. I loved the characters and I love this authors writing! Her words just suck me in and I’m only focused on this story! If you’re looking for a rollercoaster ride full of emotions, check this book out! I suggest reading the other books that come before this one!

Stay For Me (The Balefire Series Book 5) by Tam DeRudder Jackson

Stay For Me is the fifth book in The Balefire Series. This is a Second Chance Romance that is fast paced and hard to put down. I’m a huge fan of Rock and Roll Romance and the persona that comes along with it. This is Garrett’s and Olivia’s story. These two have great chemistry between them even if she has a broken heart because of him in the past. He chose his band over her and she’s been working hard to make a name for herself. He’s got another chance to make things right between but will she let him in again? I don’t want to give away to much. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Stay For Me (The Balefire Series Book 5)Stay For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Balefire Series even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. However I do recommend reading them previous books as the characters are in all of the stories and you will be able to understand all the characters and their stories.

This story follow the bands manager Garrett and Olivia.
Garrett and Olivia have a past. They were young loves but their relationship fell apart when Garrett choose to follow the band as their manager instead of staying with Olivia. Olivia was left hurt and heartbroken but she pushed forward in her life.

Fast forward and Garrett made his dreams come true, he manages one of the most successful bands ever but he can never get Olivia out of his head.
Olivia has done well for herself too. Her determination means she owns her own production company. When Garrett contacts her to produce the next music video for the band she is filled with loads of emotions. Why does he want to see her now?
As things progress Garrett realises she is the one for him and he is determined to win her back. But is it too late? Can Olivia forgive him for what happened all those years before? Even though the attraction between them is still there and strong can too much have happened for them to work through it?

This story is a steamy read. I wasn’t a fan of Garrett in previous books but after reading this i can understand the things that lead him to be the way he is today and the way he was with the members of the band and their ladies. I can understand Olivia’s reluctance and determination to not be hurt by Garrett again. It took her so long to rebuild herself after he broke her heart the first time.
This story is a rollercoaster full with past heartbreaks, trust issues and hope that they can overcome all the odds to get to their happily ever after.

Hot For Me (Balefire, #4)Hot For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another entertaining story about the members of the Balefire rock band. This time it’s Adam Tron’s turn to find love, and he finds it with pop diva Cristy Valor. Cristy is used to creating scandals and headlines, and now she’s joining Balefire on their latest tour. As soon as she steps onto the stage in one of her wild costumes, and he hears her sexy alto voice Adam is hooked. The fact that she can party hard and keep up with him and the rest of the boys also gets his attention, and with their obvious chemistry, it’s not long before Adam wants an actual relationship with Cristy. However, he feels like she’s holding back from him, but he’s determined to be patient.
Meanwhile, Cristy is happy flirting with the poster boy for tall, dark and sexy, Adam and the chemistry when they have sex is amazing. When he wants more than just sex, Cristy pulls away, as she has a secret and one which gives her nightmares. Throughout her career she’s prevented the tabloids from looking into her past, and she’s worried that if she opens up to Adam her secret will be discovered. Worse than that she’s worried what Adam will think if he finds out the truth and she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The chemistry between Adam and Cristy sizzles off the page and leads to some steamy scenes. As usual the author brings the world of Balefire vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story and engaged with the characters.
