When red-hot, Goth-metal band, Black Halo, split live on stage, fate throws Daniella Fosbrook into the path of sexy vocalist Xane Geist. Initially, Xane’s only looking for a ride home, but Dani tempts him in a way a thousand other women haven’t. Determined to explore their heady chemistry and avoid hashing things out with the band, Xane whisks Dani off to Monaco for a steamy weekend.
There, Dani tries her best to hang onto her heart and some clothing, while Xane soon loses both. However, Xane isn’t being entirely honest about the reason for the band’s demise. When the truth comes out, can Dani accept the facts, or will everything come undone.
4 Star Review by Jen Hagen
Dani has been listening to music by Black Halo during the
most trying times of her life. It was
the only thing that kept her moving forward, even though if she was caught
listening to it she would fac the consequences at the hands of those who helped
raised her. Dani is attending a Black
Halo concert when the opportunity arises for her to spend some up close and
personal time with the lead singer, Xane.
Xane is a founding member of Black Halo along with his
drummer and good friend, Steve. Xane has
recently found out that Steve and another member of the band mate have betrayed
him. Xane is very hurt by this action
and even more so hurt by the fact that the remaining band members do not see
how this would effect Xane. He is tired
of being treated as only a member of the band and they only see him as a way to
succeed and not care about him as a human being.
He had to stop this
charade somehow. If only to make them realise he wasn’t here to be used and
abused.
Unfortunately Xane chooses 2 minutes into their concert
set to announce that the band is done.
Xane walks away from it all.
While escaping from his band members,
he runs into Dani and asks her for a ride. Dani and Xane travel to a remorse hideaway. While Dani and Xane are spending time
together holed up as recluses, they respond to the obvious sexual desires
emanating from both of them. Xane has
previously had an addiction to sex and it appears that while his addiction may
be better controlled, he still likes his sex, and WOW is that sex HOT.
Dani and Xane continue to evade his band mates and
continue on their secret rendezvous that takes them across the sea and into
beautiful places where no one will find them.
During this time of enchantment, Dani discovers a lifestyle that Xane
conforms to that she is not comfortable with.
Xane is shocked to realize how
Dani feels about it.
‘I can’t believe …
I thought you were more open-minded, and had more common sense than to think
such crap.’
But this lifestyle of Xane’s could be an absolute deal
breaker for Dani. Xane’s way of life is
what she was forced to run from as a child.
As much as she
loved him, this changed things.
Can Dani accept Xane and what she has feared her entire
life? Will Xane forgive those who
deceived him and can he forgive the entire band for not seeing how hard he was
effected by the betrayal? Or is it too
late for words to heal? What if the
person you wanted to hold your heart is no longer here?
‘Nothing’s changed
between us, Dani. I don’t suddenly love you any less. I still need you to be
here.’
I liked this story for Xane’s uniqueness and the fact
that he wears his heart on his sleeve.
He may be a goth rocker who hides behind makeup, jewelry and leather, but
underneath it all is a guy who just wants to be loved and respected. You’ll enjoy the steamy bedroom scenes and
a very intriguing train ride.
