By Sawyer Bennett
When you’re a rock god, fame and fortune are your two best friends, but they can be fickle bitches. Everyone wants a piece of me and I have no clue how to deal with it all. I’m being sued, pressured to sign contracts, and fending off rabid women who want to steal my virtue.
Well, not that I really have any virtue, but still… my life has turned completely bat-shit crazy.
That’s why I need Emma Peterson. She got me out of a bit of a jam once, and I know she can do it again. The only problem is that sweet, prim and totally straight-laced Emma doesn’t want anything to do with me. Not professionally, and certainly not personally.
It’s not that I want her in that way. Let’s be realistic… it would take a crow bar of epic proportions to get her to spread those legs for me.
No, I only want her legal expertise and for her to make sense of my crazy world. It’s a good thing I have just the leverage to make her do my bidding, because her refusal is not an option.
*Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is a hot, romantic comedy stand alone.

REVIEW:
Slurp….that this sound of me getting sucked in again. Having read most of Sawyer Bennett’s other books, I thought I knew what to expect, but she drew me into the vortex, gave my emotions a little rattle and spit me out to a happy place. Sexy Lie and Rock & Roll features Evan Scott, a rising indie music star. With his first album a bonafide hit, he is learning to deal with the joys and pains of fame. Emma Peterson is a straight laced attorney at one of the most maverick law firms out there. She feels out of place and out of her league with the other attorneys, but is none the less assigned a special case by the firm’s principle partner. She can’t exactly say “no”, can she?
This book is vintage Sawyer Bennett. It reminds me so much of her earlier work where it leans more toward romance and less erotica. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of steamy scenes, but the story is driven more by the relationship than by the sex. The other interesting aspect of this story is that this is not your typical rock star romance. Evan and Emma’s conflict are less rooted rock and roll conflicts, but are driven more by inner turmoil. Sure, there are some familiar themes, namely insecurity and betrayal, but it does not emanate from the star. Evan is a regular guy finding himself in an extraordinary circumstance doing the thing that he loves most.
I’m am always just going to be a normal man who happened to step into a very abnormal kind of existence. But the one lesson Midge drilled into me during my formative years is that you have to stay genuine.
This is Sawyer Bennett’s hallmark. You can find the good guy in most of her books. When I’m done with all the alphaholes and just want a good book boyfriend - a character that is self-possessed, self-aware, patient, kind-hearted - I look to Sawyer Bennett.
If I could ask for more, I would want to know more about Tyler. There is a conflict involving this character and I want to know how it started, when things changed. I feel like there are more layers to the character and I want more explanation for his behavior.
IN A NUTSHELL:
Want a feel good romance featuring a rock god with a regular joe heart? This is the book for you.
