Book: Looking at Forever
Series: The Rock Gods #4
Genre: M/M rockstar romance
Author: Ann Lister
Mick Wheland, Ivory Tower's bad-boy guitarist, has recently realized two important things about himself. He prefers sex with men over women, and the idea of a committed relationship doesn't scare him as much as it once did. He's seen the positive effects of love from watching his band-mates find life partners, and now he's thinking he might be ready for the same himself. The problem is knowing where to look for Mr. Right, and living out of a suitcase while touring with a band is not exactly conducive to finding real love.
Sonny (Rooster) Roostarelli leaves the seclusion of his Vancouver cabin, where he went to lick his wounds after a contentious divorce, and moves back to Los Angeles. He claims relocating to L.A. is for business purposes, but now that the dust has settled on his failed marriage, Rooster feels he might finally be ready to settle down – with a man.
A chance encounter for Wheland and Rooster on a busy L.A. street rekindles an old friendship between the two professional musicians. Rooster needs a short-term place to stay and Wheland has plenty of extra space at his hillside estate and that lands Rooster in Wheland's guest room. What starts out as a music collaboration opportunity quickly turns personal when the chemistry they have becomes too strong to ignore and soon the music they're making spills from the studio and into the bedroom.
The road is a grueling bitch musicians love to hate. Being on stage under the hot lights can sometimes be the only place they feel comfortable and alive. Can two high-profile rock stars make a life together in such an artificial world – on and off the stage... or will past mistakes and family secrets keep them from finding their forever?
Meet Wheland and Rooster (rawr!)
REVIEW
Foxy Rating = Five 'rocking hot' stars!

This is the fourth book in The Rock Gods series and
throughout we have had glimpses of Wheland and his questioning sexuality. In
the last book Make You Mine, he finally acknowledges that it is a relationship with
a man that he wants. He only has to look at his fellow band mates, now happily
loved up, that he is searching for that one person meant for him. His other half, his forever man.
Sonny ‘Rooster’ Roostarelli, has been in the rock business
for many years and is now at the head of his game. In recent years he has
divorced his wife and after a lot of soul searching, ‘come out’ to his close
friends and family. It is whilst he is taking some downtime that he literally
bumps into Mick Wheland who he has acquainted over the years at various rock
venues. But this time something about Wheland has him perusing the rock star in
a totally different light. Little does he know that Wheland is also having the
same feelings about him.
When Sonny tells him he is relocating back to LA and looking
for a property, Wheland offers him to stay at his house. The pair then spend
the next few weeks secretly observing each other, stressing that they want more
but each not knowing the other is not straight. The play the friends game and
collaborate on writing music together. It is through one of the sound
recordings that Wheland hears Rooster confessing to his attraction to Wheland,
that he decides the time is right for getting his man!
I adored this book and for me it is my absolute favourite of
the series. This was a surprise as throughout the series Wheland has not been a
character I have really gelled with. I thought he was a troublemaker and out
for his own selfish gains but this book put him in an altogether new light and
I found myself falling hard for the sexy guitarist. As for Sonny, well WOW what
a revelation, he was stunning, the hot Italian stallion! The way Ms Lister
portrayed their characters was instantly a book hangover in the making. I just
knew these guys would be it for me. The relationship development was spine
tingly and tenderly undertaken. It was also hot…. megaliciously HOT! The steamy
sessions were a kindle melting sensation. Rawr!
It was great to catch up with the other guys in the band
plus Dagger and his husband. It was a great culmination of the series and one I
cannot get enough of. I cannot recommend
this book or series any higher. It is a definite must buy, must have, must
read! Five ‘rocking hot’ stars.
