Rock Sexy (Rock Candy Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 403 ratings

Hollywood’s hottest bad boy, Garrick Maze, hangs with rock stars and parties harder than most. Now he’s just landed the lead in a new television series and he’s determined to prove himself. Love’s the last thing on his mind, especially when it comes to his ice queen female lead.

Gwendolyn Vickers intends to be America’s next celebrity sweetheart and that means keeping her public image pristine. The last thing she needs is to be linked to her trouble-making co-star Garrick. But Garrick is shamelessly flirty and sexy as sin, and her body craves him. Soon, so does her so-called ice-cold heart.

Eventually, however, secrets from the past clash with their new-found fame. Garrick will prove that when it comes to mixing mind-blowing pleasure with true love, he’s not about to let Gwen down.

    When I downloaded this book, I didn't expect it to get me engrossed for hours till sleep demands it. Wow! This author can write beautifully. I love the POV of the lead characters and I could feel the emotions in their own point of view... SPOILER ALERT....This is the story of Garrick Maze, an action movie star, a Hollywood playboy, popular, rich, handsome who can get any woman he wants and Gwen Vickers, a soap opera sweetheart, a prim and proper ice queen who obeys and fears her stern and temperamental father. They're teamed up as lead characters for a new tv series based on a best selling novel by a young writer and produced by Gwen's father. The director hired is the best in the business. This tv series is an attempt to save her father's production company after a couple of disastrous movie flops. She's raised and encouraged by her parents to do the right thing for a perfect future... no smoking, no partying, no drugs, no drinking and no wild stuff. She obeys her father to a tee until she meets Garrick. She's attracted to him but fights the urge to fall for him. She knows her father will never approve of him. Garrick who's been burned by a cheating girlfriend, vowed to never fall in love again thus his womanizing and carefree lifestyle. But getting to know Gwen during the course of the tv series changed all that. This is their story, full of emotion, longing and dreams but afraid to indulge into it. Both have baggages behind their wholesome facade, secrets buried in the past and a surprise revelations of her parents you could never guess. I highly recommend this book to all romantic readers. Thank you Ms. dePaul for a very good story. I loved it! My only wish is a little epilogue at the end to know how they fared after the HEA.😊👍

    I really enjoyed this book. It was a different take on a love story between two famous people, actors. Garrick and Gwen are both likable characters and I enjoyed seeing them overcome the relationships that burned them in the past and find each other. I love it when a male lead shows his vulnerability when it comes to his leading lady, and that happened here. Garrick put it all out there. I also enjoyed the supporting characters and the roles they played, especially Tyler and Erica. I can't wait to read more of this series. I know the next book focuses on Liam, but I hope to see more of the friends from Straightlaced.

    Gwendolyn Vickers is an actress always trying to appease her father and keep a clean public image.

    Garrick Maze is the typical young Hollywood bad boy cast to play opposite Gwen in a tv adaptation of a best seller.

    When the two meet for the first time there are misconceptions on both their parts.

    Gradually, they both start to see beyond the surface. Gwen realizes that Garrick isn’t just another bad boy only looking for a good time. She learns what hurt him in the past and make him so cynical about love.

    Garrick comes to realize Gwen doesn’t have an easy ride just because her father is producing the tv show . He sees she has to work that much harder to make sure the show is a success. He learns that only makes her work harder and also repress her personal wants and desires.

    It was fun watching them as well as the cast interact and lean to work as a team.

    I applauded Garrick's turnabout and willingness to fight for Gwen. I wish she would have let herself go sooner and fought not only for Garrick, but also for herself.

    In the end, things came to a satisfactory conclusion to the story.

    A light fun read.

    Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

    I received a complimentary copy of the book in return for an honest review. This is the first of the authors books that I have read, but it won't be the last.

    I think whenever people read romance,the assumption is that we are looking for a wonderful HEA.
    Everyone has their idea of what makes a perfect contemporary romance. This book is my idea of what a good story-line is and the characters in the book make you want to read on until the end, which is exactly what I did.
    The story has a little bit of everything: friendship, romance, family and career issues , fear of vulnerability, fear of commitment, as well as fear of failure.The plot has some unexpected twists and turns
    I loved the character development. The supporting characters were endearing and funny without being contrived. The author created characters that not only enter the imagination of the reader, but take root and become very nearly a reality. I can't wait for Tyler's book because he was so clever, sardonic, and funny, but at the same time shy and a bit of a mystery.
    The smoldering hot sex is supported by the growing care and concern and the growing closeness the characters feel for each other.The alternating , differing points of view help both the characters and readers to be attentive, listen and ultimately to understand.
    The book is full of full of heartache and hope and we watch the characters learn from the past and from each other.
    All-in-all this book made for a well-told, sizzling, and colorful story. I couldn't put the book down and was sad when it was over. In fact, I went straight to the next book , unfortunately not yet written!
    It's a "feel-good" read that I'm really glad I read

    This is my first read of Virna DePaul’s books. I really enjoyed it and fell in love with the characters. This is a story of two actors finding love and overcoming past heartbreaks. The characters where well defined and easy to relate too. Virna’s writing style in this book was easy to follow and well developed. There is some sexual scenes and little to no violence. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series and other books by DePaul.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Got surprised with the real facts in the end...
    Reviewed in Brazil on August 7, 2016
    This book is easy to read. At first, I thought I would be just one more "new adult" style history, but knowing why the bad-boy acts like that and how he faces the new feeling that is exploding inside of him made me very curious about how the book would end.
    About, the Hollywood Sweetheart restrictions, her relationship with her family and how conservative a father could be, was more like a fiction for me, not sure an actress would really go on such restrictions, but the history was well written and by the end of the book I really enjoyed how the Bad-boy and the Sweetheart ended up making a move.

    Also zuerst einmal muss ich sagen, dass es mich nie stört, wenn Protagonisten ihre Mädels "Baby" nennen. Nie! hier schon. Das hat einfach nicht gepasst und fühlte sich gezwungen an. Ansonsten war das Buch ganz nett, die Story um die Eltern von Gwen fand ich gut und unerwartet und auch gut gelöst. Ich hätte gern noch gesehen wie Garrick Ellie seiner Familie vorstellt und einen anständigen Epilog hätte ich auch gern gehabt. Das Gespräch zwischen Garrick und Dominic hätte ich auch gern gelesen und nicht nur nacherzählt bekommen.

    Ansonsten ist das Buch gut lesbar für zwischendurch.

    I've read quite a few books by Virna DePaul and while I wouldn't say this was my favourite, it is an enjoyable story which is easy to follow. Definitely worth a read if you're looking for a nice love story.
