From New York Times Bestselling Author, S.L. Scott, comes a hot new rock star romance that will sweep you off your feet and leave you with a smile.

The rumors are true. At least where I’m concerned.

Drummers hit it harder and do it better.

Women love me and I love them. But I like to think of myself as a sensitive soul trapped in a lady-killer’s body. Not so surprisingly, I’ve been called cocky a time or two. What can I say? We can’t all be boy scouts.

Nikki Faris has thrown off my rhythm. With her red lips, smart aleck mouth, short skirts, long legs, and blue-sky eyes, the beautiful lead singer has become a complete distraction on this tour.

She loves to give me a hard time when all I want to do is give her the pleasure of my hard—time right back.

Tulsa Crow can save his pick up lines, great eight-pack abs, and cute dimples to use on someone else. My band earned their spot on The Resistance’s tour just like The Crow Brothers. I’m not going to blow it getting sidetracked by a cocky rock star that wants to sleep his way through the states. I’ve been called a name or two, but easy isn’t one of them.

But the best intentions with him turn into a walk of shame for me. Only, I don’t feel shame. Instead, I’m doing the very thing I said I wouldn’t—falling for a playboy.

We make sinful music when we’re on the road, but what happens to our melody when the tour ends?

Excerpt from Tulsa (The Crow Brothers, #2)

Nikki Faris is amazing.

Not only is she gorgeous, she’s also smart and strong. She says what she thinks, not worried about sharing her opinions or anyone judging her for them. She can defend the craziest ideas and has theories on everything from what she thinks jackfruit tastes like to why the stars always shine on the darkest nights.

Nikki Faris is mesmerizing.

Her lips.

Her eyes.

The way her head tilts back when she laughs at her own jokes. She’s adorably funny. Even the way she rolls her eyes is growing on me.

Nikki Faris is the sexiest woman I’ve ever spent time with, and I haven’t even slept with her.

Yet.

Her denim skirt rides up really fucking high when she’s sitting. I don’t know whether I should cover her or encourage her to wiggle more. Every time she moves around on that barstool, my eyes dash between her blues and those bare legs. I’m so tempted to run my hand over the smooth skin of her thigh, but I resist because I’m just starting to earn her trust.

But then she leans over, resting her hand on my leg, the tips of her fingers dipping toward my cock, waking it up, and whispers, “I think you got me drunk, Crow.”

Chuckling, I reply, “You got yourself drunk, Faris.”

Suddenly, her free hand wanders into my hair. “Your hair is soft. No gel.” She drags the bridge of her nose along my neck, causing my dick to harden. “You smell so good. So manly. What cologne do you wear?”

“Soap and sweat, sweetheart.”

“Tulsa. Tulsa. Tulsa.” Leaning back to look me in the eyes, she confesses, “It shouldn’t, but that really turns me on.”

I laugh again and stop her hand from wandering higher on my leg. “You’re a horny drunk.”

“I am,” she replies, resting her head on my shoulder. “Have you ever heard the phrase sleeping with the enemy?”

“I have.” I touch her, not able to stop myself as I tuck those wild strands of hair behind her ear.

The bartender sets the tab down in front of me. Nikki reaches for it, but I grab it first. “My treat.”

“I have a feeling I’m going to be swearing your name in the morning.”

I do a double take. “You mean because of the alcohol, right?” While waiting for her to answer a question I already know the answer to, images of her swearing my name for other reasons cross my mind.

She doesn’t answer, which is probably best.

“My reputation precedes me. It’s one I’ve earned notch by notch, gig after gig.”

Tulsa is the baby Crow brother. He takes his cocky attitude and manwhore status very seriously and has got his smoldering smirk down to a science. He’s got all the girls falling at his feet, but not her. Nope, she’s his forbidden fantasy. Driving him crazy with lust but off-limits. The Crows Brothers band is opening for The Resistance, and Faris Wheel is opening for them. And Nikki Faris, she’s a really bad idea that he can’t stop thinking about. He wants her…

Nikki Faris is the lead singer who knows better than to get involved with the sexy drummer from another band. They are all on tour together and have been warned not to do anything that might jeopardize it. He is trouble with a capital ‘T’ and all she can think about. He’s got her in a #TulsaDaze and when he calls her darlin’ she drunkenly confesses, “When you say it with your accent, I want to take off my panties. Why does it affect me like that?”

What fun I had reading this story as I waited for their lust to take over and their clothes to fall off. With each of them being in a band with their siblings it was an even worse idea for them to give in to temptation with a higher risk of getting caught. Everyone knows that your own brother can tell when you’re hiding something, right? Would the reward be worth the risk?

I am addicted to rockstar romance and having not one, but three bands in a single story was a treat too delicious to describe. I couldn’t decide which band t-shirt to wear to the concert or which tour bus to stow away on. But after spending some quality time with the misunderstood drummer, he won me over and with his #Boop and #TheTulsaSpecial. Once I got past his arrogance and saw the big heart he was hiding I knew he was exactly what Nikki needed. Would he ever get the chance to prove it to her? His brother warned, “Be careful. The past has a way of catching up with your future.”

As I’ve come to expect, the author kept me guessing. Not only was I caught up in the sweet and sexy, she threw in some secrets and suspense to keep me on edge. One minute I was rushing toward the finish line and the next I was reading slower because I didn’t want to reach it yet. I can’t get enough of her amazing characters and I’m so looking forward to the next book. I’m guessing it will feature Rivers, the third Crow brother. But there are other characters that I’d love to spend more time with too. I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll get a backstage pass to a meet-and-greet with the other Faris Wheel band members. The line forms here…

Living in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados, beaches, and cooking with her kids. She’s obsessed with epic romances and loves a good plot twist. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she’s a pro.
