About FORBIDDEN LYRICS
Falling in love with your best friend’s sister is never a good idea. Getting caught kissing her, that’s even worse.
I watched Lizzie Donovan grow up – from pigtails and scraped knees to pouty lips and lush curves.
It wasn’t until one night nine years ago in the front seat of her car, with her lips on mine, that I realized what I was feeling was far more than friendship.
Of course, I felt her brother’s wicked left hook shortly after.
One promise was all it took to push her away.
Not anymore.
This is my chance.
I have three months to convince her that she’s the song in my heart and we’re more than just forbidden lyrics.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Forbidden Lyrics is the second book in Larson’s Lightening Strikes rockstars series. It is a standalone, but the characters are interconnected and storylines continue from the previous two books in the series. Forbidden Lyrics is centered on bassist Brecken and Lizzie, the younger sister of his best friend/lead guitarist Myles. Nine years ago — the night that Tatum left Myles, to be exact — Breck and Lizzie shared a kiss that neither one of them have been able to forget. Unfortunatley, it never went any further because Myles beat the crap out of Breck that night and forbid him to touch Lizzie ever again.
When the guys are back home in Kansas City for a few months, of course Breck and Lizzie cross paths. She’s got a few renovation projects to do around her house, and Breck decides that being her personal handyman is not only a great way to spend time with Lizzie without Myles being suspicious, but also a way to prove to her that he could be the guy for her. Eventually, they both admit to their attraction, and placing the other firmly in the friend zone, agree to a no-strings-attached relationship…. until one of them starts to catch feelings. The only problem? Feelings are already there.
Once again, Larson does a bang-up job of getting all of the angst and emotions (both happy and sad) across to the reader. I was right there with Lizzie as she fought her feelings for Breck — and as he tried his hardest to not act on the fact that he’s been in love with Myles’ sister for years. There was a lot about hard-headed Myles that annoyed me in Notes Of The Past, and I still felt that way about him in Forbidden Lyrics. He really needed to get over himself! Tatum is an angel for handling him the way that she does!
I would highly recommend Forbidden Lyrics. Brecken and Lizzie together are a beautiful song, and I look forward to hopefully seeing glimpses of their future together in Paxton’s book! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review

SERENADING THE SHADOWS
No one should have their life planned out at the age of three. Yet that’s exactly what happened to Adrienne Carmichael. Paving the way as the “piano prodigy” was all her parents wanted…Only she didn’t.
All she wished for was to be normal, to be a regular teenager and everything that came with it—including the decisions that would shape her life.
Wish granted.
Ten years later, scarred and broken, she knows that being alone isn’t everything she imagined. The piano is finally everything, except nobody will ever hear her play again.
All that changes when a sexy-as-sin rock god blows into her life. Tall and tattooed with jet-black hair and a dangerous bad boy smile…he’s every girl’s fantasy.
To her, he’s a distraction, yet Kade Evans is everything she shouldn’t want.
Instinct tells her to run, but she can’t get him out of her mind.
But may, just maybe he can be the one to pull her from the shadows before the darkness swallows her…for good.

NOTES OF THE PAST
I love women.
And it’s easy to see why. Being the lead guitarist for the country’s hottest band, Lightning Strikes, has them practically jumping into my bed and walking out the door just as quick. Which is perfect for me. Emotions complicate things, and I don’t do complicated.
Not anymore.
Sure, I was in love once, and it was great. Then it was gone. That’s when I vowed never again. Life is better without empty, broken promises.
After five years of hard work, sacrifices, and determination, everything I’ve ever wanted is in my grasp: a successful career, touring city after city and being accountable to no one.
Then she starts appearing in the crowds. The girl I once loved, and who walked away.
Only, Tatum Mitchell wasn’t just any girl; she was my girl.
Will she be the wedge that drives the last part of my heart away, or will she break down the walls I’ve built. We’re connected through the lyrics of our heart and the notes of our past, but is that enough?
