New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh stuns with a sizzling contemporary romance…
A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…
Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.
A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…
Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…
I was excited to read Nalini Singh’s Rock Addiction since it is a contemporary romance novel that involves some very HOT rock stars. In fact, Rock Addiction is the first book in the series and I couldn’t wait to dive into it. I have been sucked into the world of Nalini’s Guild Hunters, so I was ready to be sucked into her Rock Kiss series.
Nalini has a way of winning over a reader with her male characters and it was no different with Rock Addiction. I fell immediately for Fox because of his intensity in trying to win over a very sweet librarian. That sweet librarian didn’t make it easy for the sexy Fox because she didn’t want to be put in the spotlight. She had a rough past in being in the spotlight, thanks to what happened with her father/mother situation. She didn’t even think Fox had her on his radar since she was not his normal girl to go for. Fox, though, was intrigued by Molly Webster the minute he spotted her. He wants the one night they had to turn into something more, but Molly is not up for it. They negotiate into a one-month fling, but Fox knows he’ll want more. He has to win over Molly and let her know she means more than a month to him.
Rock Addiction had me sucked in from the beginning, especially with how Fox surprised Molly in the elevator. Let’s just say Nalini had the book smoking hot from the first chapter to the last. Of course there were some issues I had, mostly with Molly. The girl was set on being with Fox for one month, and that’s it. (Shaking my head at Molly, you best believe I would go for more) She kept trying to hide their relationship, but Fox being a rock star, it was kind of hard to keep it hidden for so long. I understood why Molly was the way she was, but she definitely couldn’t hold it against Fox.
Fox’s character was the complete opposite of Molly with his alpha-like bad boy status, but he had a way of changing with Molly around. How in the heck could Molly resist Fox, especially once she got to experience him in the bedroom? I have no friggin’ clue! The man had skills. I adored every bit of Fox.
I look forward to reading the rest of the rock stars’ books after reading Rock Addiction. Nalini introduces each of the characters with their personalities and what’s to come, but she has the readers begging for more. She at least did for me. ***I’m interested in David’s story. =)
I give this book four stars and recommend it to readers who enjoy rock star Contemporary Romance novels. Rock Addiction is much different from Nalini’s other two series, but she still gives us some very addictive, sexy male characters to drool over. =)
About Nalini Singh
I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).
So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
