by Cara Connelly

Available 12/01/15

 

Readers of Cara Connelly’s Save the Date series met Jack and Lil McCabe in The Wedding Favor. Go back in time and experience Jack and Lil’s original love story, with a hefty dose of romance and suspense. Ready to Rock, is Connelly’s first indie title. Ready to Rock won RWA’s Golden Heart award (under the title The Sinners), and the Valley Forge Romance Writer’s Sheila Award (also under The Sinners).

 

Synopsis:

 

His name's on everyone's lips--sexy rocker Jack McCabe. His gritty New York City band is red hot, almost as hot as his fiery affair with photography student Lil Marchone, the girl from his past, now the woman he loves. The problem is, Lil's controlling ex wants her back. Rich, powerful, and ruthless, he'll stop at nothing--including murder--to get Jack out of her life. But Jack's a badass himself, always up for a fight. And with the stakes this high, he'll risk everything for Lil, even his band. Even his life.

EXCERPT:

 

 

A wolf whistle sliced through the street noise, calling me back to the present. I’d wandered into the crosshairs of a dozen construction workers sitting along the Jersey barriers that separated their work site from the sidewalk. They were eating lunch and checking out the girls, including me. Most of them were grinning. One waggled his fingers in a wave.

 

Hiding behind my sunglasses, I pretended to ignore them while I checked them out from the corner of my eye. They were the usual assortment of sizes and shapes. A few beer guts, a few shaved heads. But when my gaze hit the last guy in the row, I did a double take. And then I froze in my tracks.

 

Jesus Christ, it can’t be him!

 

But it was. I would have known him anywhere.

 

 

Slowly, inexorably, I walked toward him. Obviously, he didn’t recognize me. He wasn’t whistling or grinning like the others, just watching me with a calm expression, admiring but not leering.

 

I stopped directly in front of him. “Jack? Jack McCabe?”

 

Surprise flickered in his eyes, but he said coolly, “Who’s Jack McCabe?”

 

I pulled off my sunglasses. “He’s the man who pulled me out of a burning car six years ago.”

 

His eyes widened. “Well, hell,” he breathed. Then he broke into a smile so dazzling that it literally knocked me back a step.

 

My God, he’s gorgeous! His face was cut from the finest granite, rugged with two days’ beard. His black hair was straight and glossy, falling loose to his shoulders. And when he stood up, he towered over me, six foot two and built like you dream about, narrow waist rising in a V to wide chest and broad shoulders, his long arms roped with the lean muscle of a man who earns it the hard way—by working, not lifting weights at a gym.

 

Touching one big hand to the small of my back, he started to walk, drawing me away from the rest of the guys.

Jack and Lil met under the most horrific of circumstances. He saved her life, and she saw him as her heroic angel. Time and lousy cops pulled them apart. Now, they meet again in New York under pleasant conditions and both their lives change.

Jack is also known as "Mac" the club singer who has his own band and is a player like no other. Lil fits into his life, because he chooses it. She is so glad to see him and the friendship blossoms so quickly.

Lil is also trying to get rid of her jerk of a boyfriend. She should have shed him long ago. Loneliness and an aching wish to be close to someone kept her in his clutches. Now, with Jack, she wishes to be free to love this amazing rocker who seems to only want her as a friend.

I am going to give it to you straight. I think this book holds in it something for everyone. It was so nice to feel it all inside of one book. I laughed, I cried, and I cheered for a couple who belong together like peanut butter and jelly. Get you a copy, since this series started off so good and this author knows we will read her again!
