Rush (Pandemic Sorrow) by Stevie J. Cole Blog Tour
All books in the Pandemic Sorrow Series can be read as stand alones.
WARNING: This is not a traditional romance. This is a male point of view and before he finds his one you will be subjected to the dirty ways of an
uncommitted rocker. This book contains explicit language and sexual situations. This book is intended for a mature audience.
Synopsis:
It’s my job to play music, to make girls wet, and then to screw a select few of them. I’m a professional rocker. I’m rich, I’m famous, I’m one lucky
son-of-a-bitch. I have everything - except control.
The industry owns me. And the only thing I have a minuscule grain of control with is women, but not that dominate, tie you up and gag you kind of control.
No, I want to govern how I make them feel. I need them to feel like a goddess while I’m in them, and I love being able to control the fact that they’ll
never really have me. Love is complicated. It is bullshit. And even if I thought I needed it, the rules of being a rocker won’t allow it.
Sex is all I need.
I don’t need love.
But for some reason I want her. For some reason I can’t get her out of my mind. And lately, every time I’m with any girl besides her it feels wrong.
I can practically have any woman I want, but I can’t have her. She’s off limits because she’s part of that industry that owns my ass.
Sex was all I had.
And sometimes I thought maybe love was all I needed…with her.

My Review:
Rush is the bassist for the band Pandemic Sorrow. He is everything you would expect from a rock
star. He puts on a great act except that
is all it is, an act. He has like Jules
since the first time he saw her. He can
any girl expect the one he wants. When
they signed their contract they agreed to follow the rocker code. Sex, drugs, and parting, it said they couldn’t
do anything with anyone who works for the company. They don’t get to have relationships unless
it is with an actress or model and they still can’t get to serious. A couple years ago he and Jules had sex. Rush hasn’t been able to get her out of his
head since. All the other girls he
sleeps with are just to fill the whole since he can’t have Jules. Everything is coming to a head. His best friend and band mate has found a
girl his wants to be serious with. She
wants him to stop doing drugs though. So
Jag pretends to be sober with her and then does all the drugs he can when she
isn’t around. He is going to wind up
overdosing because of it. Rush figures
if Jag can have a serious relationship than so can he. He is tired of fighting his feelings for
Jules and going to make her his one way or another. She feels something for him too but with the
fear of losing her job that she has worked so hard for she fights her feeling
for Rush by acting like she is disgusted by him. While on break between tours he confronts her
about how they feel for each other and they start to see each other. They can’t let anyone at the label find out
though. It adds a little something to
the relationship. James their manager
does whatever it takes to make sure the band brings in as much money as it
can. One of them in a relationship,
sober, or in any way normal would hurt the band in his eyes. He threatens to fire Jules and tells her
things to make her end it with Rush.
Will James get his way? Will Rush
prove to Jules that he isn’t really that guy is has been pretending to be all
these years? Will Jules be able to deal
with having a rocker god as a boyfriend?
I really liked this book.
It was different from other books like it for many reasons. It was written from the male point of
view. Many unexpected things happened in
the book. Rush was determined to not let
it show how much the things Jules said hurt him. She would act disgusted by the things he said
and did. I don’t doubt that she was
disgusted by some of them. It was her
way of not letting it show how much she felt for Rush. She did seem a bit weak to me though. The way she believed some of the things James
told her about Rush, and if she really loved him so much she wouldn’t have been
so worried about being fired. I can see
how that may have been a concern in the beginning when she wasn’t sure exactly
how he felt about her. No one wants to
lose their job for a guy who may not want her in a month, but after she knew of
Rush felt about her it was still an issue for her. Granted she had watched him for years. This
book had some surprises I didn’t see coming at all and that’s one of the things
that made it so good. I was reading and
then bang total left field thing happens.
Lol. Rush wouldn’t give up on
what he felt for Jules. He is a total
alpha male. I haven’t read Jag yet but
it is on my list now. I can’t wait to
read other books about these characters.
I will be keeping my eye out for them.
About Stevie:
Oh, what to say?
I love writing (obvious since I'm on here, right?) I don't have a specific genre - I just write whatever story manifests itself inside my brain.
Writing is like therapy. There is nothing else that I can lose myself in the way I can a book - the way a well written story can take you away from reality
and leave you in a dazed state once you've finished... that is unbelievable. I can only hope that whoever reads my work will be sucked into the little
world I've created on the pages.
Aside from writing, I love sloths and mythology. I kind of have a thing for vampires, because let's face it, something about the fact that they have to
fight the urge to bite your neck and drain the life from you is rather sexy. I have an irrational fear of the zombie apocalypse. I honestly cannot imagine
a more horrifying way to go than by being ripped to shreds by a mass of mumbling, decaying, and oozing corpses with clicking teeth. Ugh! I just shuddered
typing it.
Now the boring basics: I grew up in the south listening to a ton of grunge rock (I'm sure if you read my books you'll be able to guess who my favorite
bands are). I wanted to major in theatre and creative writing but my parents refused to let me. They told me those weren't "reliable professions".
Reliable? I'd just rather do something I enjoy!
When I hit 30 I decided to start a bucket list and publishing a book was on the top (followed shortly by meeting a certain celebrity). Proud to report I've
accomplished both.
So, here I am with my first novel and working on the second one. The journey of writing Bound to the Fallen has been amazing and allowed me to meet many
wonderful individuals.
I hope if you read my work that you will enjoy it. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick of all... it puts the reader in the mind of the
writer (kind of creepy if you think about it).
I hope you love my little world as much as I do.
