Title: Revelry (Taint, #1)Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Adult, Erotic Romance
Publisher: Independent
Publication Date: May 25, 2015
Plot: Cooper Ryan is living the dream. Between the parties with rock royalty, booze, groupies and performing to crowds of thousands with his band Taint, life seems pretty sweet. There’s just one thing missing: the feisty little red-head that took his baby and ran off with his heart. Throwing himself into music is the only thing keeping him sane.
Until a run-in with a nonplussed, package-wielding PA throws everything off balance.
Ali Jones is having a craptastic life. Her grandmother died, leaving her homeless, penniless, and alone, and her boyfriend left her for a tramp who takes her clothes off for money. That’s why when she lands her dream job at a record company it seems like it’s too good to be true.
Because it is.
Slapped with an ultimatum, Ali must decide if facing the horror of the unemployment line is a fate worse than going on the road with four rowdy rockers hell-bent on making her life misery.
He’s adored by millions. She’s not even loved by her cat.
Can they ignore their hatred long enough to survive the tour from hell? Or will their chemistry force everything to come crashing down around them?
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via Give Me Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ! ☆
**Before any of you read or go into this, do know that there is a love triangle and that there is MFM action in it. I know for some of you-- it’s a hard limit(s) of yours, and normally for me as well, but strangely I loved this one!! It didn’t unnerve me or deter me at all.**
Cooper Ryan. Hmm, doesn't that name ring a bell?
Remember Holly’s ex and Pepper’s rocker daddy from The Sugartown Series? Yep, this is him alright.
And yet, ANOTHER FEISTY RED HEAD has caught his eye!! Surprise, surprise.
So Cooper…
Still reeling from a broken heart, Cooper drowns himself in his band, booze, and anything to numb out the pain and memories of her.
Hiring a crass mouthed new PA was never a part of the plan, his plan to be exact, but neither is the crackling attraction they feel for another. OR the resemblance she bears to Holly: The one that got away and shattered his heart.
Enter Ali Jones...
Ali is sh#t out of luck and lives out of her car with her deceased grandmother’s cat who hates her guts. Taking up a job with rocker’s new royalty, Taint, is the last place she wants to be, but the only ultimatum keeping her from being cold and flat-out homeless.
Now with Cooper taking an interest in her, and also a fellow band mate of his pursuing her at all costs, which path will Ali's heart choose? Will there be one broken heart? Two? Or possibly even three?
And with echoes of the past coming back to haunt Cooper, will he once again strike out twice on love? Or will it be him and Ali against the world?
After all, all’s fair in: Love. Sex. Groupies, Paparazzi. And Rock N’ Roll baby!!
#I hope Levi or Zed’s story is up next!!

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
My
vision is partly obstructed by Ali, but the sight of her head bobbing as she
takes him in her mouth is all I need to know what’s going on. Levi meets my
gaze across the limo. There’s gloating there—that much is obvious—but there’s
also understanding. When you spend as much time together as we do, you come to know
your bandmates pretty well. For all his talk, he’s not as big of a douche as he
claims to be. He may not ever sleep with the same woman more than once—with the
exception of Ali, I guess—but I know he’s not immune to the loneliness our
lifestyle creates. It’s strange how you can be adored by millions and yet
completely alone all at the same time.
He
slides his hand into her hair and closes his eyes, throwing his head back
against the seat.
“Fuck,
fuck, fuck, fuck,” he whispers, and then he gathers her hair to the side and
shifts her body so that my view is completely unobstructed. I watch as she
works her hands up his shaft in time with her mouth. He doesn’t attempt to fuck
the back of her throat and make her choke on it, the way we both had that first
night we fucked her. Instead, his touch is gentle. Reverent.
It
makes me crazy, and hot as fucking hell. I shift uncomfortably, adjusting my
cock within my jeans. I don’t make a move towards them, though I want to. I
want to bury myself inside her and mark her as mine, but at this point the
lines are so fucking blurred it doesn’t matter whom she belongs to. Him. Me. The
both of us, or neither one.
I
lean forward, taking a glass from the shelf and a crystal decanter filled with
amber liquor, and I pour myself a drink, and then I slide back into the leather
to watch.
“Play
with yourself, Red,” he whispers.
“No.”
“Do
it,” I say, and she turns around to glare at me. I can’t tell if she’s
disappointed I’m not joining in, or if she forgot I was even here.
“I
don’t want—”
“Why
are you suddenly so embarrassed?” I say sharply, swigging back more of the
scotch than I should.
“I’m
not embarrassed. I’d actually rather that you joined in.”
“I’m
watching,” I say, eyeing her coolly over my glass. She scowls at me a moment
and then she kneels up, steadying herself with one hand on Levi’s thigh. She
wriggles her skirt up over her hips and bends over. Everything is on display as
she takes him in her mouth again. I close my eyes, not wanting to watch her on
her knees in front of him, her head bent low, her full fuck-me lips wrapped
around Levi’s cock. I feel as if I’m on a ride that’s spinning out of control
and I can’t find a way off. I can’t make it stop. And I so badly want it to
stop.
