Can the touch of a rock god last forever?
Bryan and Aubrey's story continues in Rockin' it Forever
Blurb
Music journalist Bryan Gallagher’s life has completely changed in an unexpected way. Not only has he snagged a dream assignment as the memoirist to alternative music’s rock superstar Aubrey King, but he’s also promised to give the beautiful and enigmatic musician a chance for them to forge a relationship. It’s all very overwhelming for Bryan since, up until he spent a sexually charged day and night with Aubrey, Bryan has never even dreamed of being with a man.
Aubrey is completely smitten with the boyishly handsome, young rock writer, Bryan. After their instant spark grows into something more, Aubrey is desperate to keep Bryan by his side for always. He’s promised Bryan that their love is for real, that Bryan isn’t simply one of his rock star conquests.
Their road isn’t an easy one, though. Despite their deepening bond and growing need for each other, other factors intrude. Neither Aubrey nor Bryan is ready to come out, and their relationship needs to remain a carefully guarded secret. In addition, Aubrey has to answer to the demands of his profession and Bryan has to traverse the shifting waters between his personal and business relationship with his famous lover.
Then a secret is revealed and everything in their joint world implodes. When a love is so strong that two men can barely take a breath without thinking of the other, will that be enough to bridge the loss of trust? The only way they can rock their love forever is if Aubrey can reach Bryan before it’s too late.

Excerpt
Aubrey Fucking King.
Bryan hid what he was certain would be a goofy grin behind his fingers. He didn’t need the older woman in the seat next to him on the plane to think he’d lost his entire mind. But the mutual masturbation with Aubrey in the shower that morning was emblazoned in his memory. Their inability to keep their hands off each other had left Bryan with precious little time to get to his hotel, grab his things then make it to the airport without missing his flight. Being trapped on the airplane for his journey from the west to the east coast was the first chance he’d had to relax and dwell on the previous couple of days filled with utter craziness. However, his immediate thoughts had landed on the visual of their slickened cocks rubbing together.
It was difficult to decide which event had him more thrilled, confused, elated, freaked out or stunned—that he’d had sex with his rock star idol or that he’d had sex with a man. He shook his head, unable to help himself.
“I’m sorry, but it’s inflight rules.”
Bryan jerked his chin up. “Huh?”
The flight attendant pointed at his laptop. “I said, you need to stow that for takeoff.”
“Oh! Sorry, I…uh, of course.”
His cheeks heated as if the pretty blonde attendant had any idea what sort of filthy thoughts had been drifting through his mind. She was the sort of woman he’d always been drawn to—confident, attractive, feminine. Another thought tried to wriggle its way into his ponderings, but he preferred putting it off for the time being. Everything had been so heated, so urgent between him and Aubrey—it had barely allowed him a moment to process the emerging lust and connection they now shared.
That was all real, right?
He idly played with the collar of his long-sleeved cotton shirt that was made up of a block plaid pattern in varying shades of blues and greens. Aubrey had commented on the colors, had said he liked the way Bryan’s lighter hair and deep blue eyes contrasted with them. Bryan allowed his fingers to travel under the fabric, to run across his clavicle. He couldn’t feel it—feel them—but he knew they were there. The marks Aubrey had sucked up on his skin. Then there’d been the rather prominent one Aubrey had asked Bryan to put on him so that everyone would know that Bryan was the one to whom Aubrey belonged.
It was silly, really, but it’d also been very sweet. People might surmise that Aubrey had been with someone, but they would have no idea it was rock journalist Bryan Gallagher. Bryan attempted to tamp down yet another unsettling thought and realized he was going to run out of space to hide from everything in his mind in an awfully short time.
No one will know because Aubrey won’t tell anyone he was with a man. But then again, neither will I.
Review
*ARC kindly received from the author in exchange for an honest review
After reading the short story and prequel, Rockin’ the
Alternative, I was dying to know if Aubrey and Bryan could ever reach a HEA with
all the obstacles they had. But both committed to making a go of their unique
relationship whilst Bryan started to write Aubrey’s life and times as a rock
star book.
Even though Aubrey wants to dive right in and push them to
the next level, Bryan is more cautious, mainly as it is his first relationship with
a man. Trying to wrap his head around that and then having these enormous
feelings of lust for Aubrey is a conflict in his emotions.
However he cannot
deny the attraction and the chemistry between them. Aubrey on the other hand
yearns for that feeling of contentment of finding a man who understands him and
who will have his back at all times. His need for love and support from his Bry
is clear to see.
Whilst they are both trying to deal with their new intense
emotions, Aubrey is also on the way to resurrecting his music career as a sole rock star without his old band. He has his agent and manager to help him make this a
success of this but a secret from the past is heading on in to upset Aubrey's new
relationship and career.
I really loved both Aubrey and Bryan. I liked how Bryan was
the more enigmatic and sensible of the pair and Aubrey the more impulsive and beguiling which just had the right balance. Their passionate and sexy
interactions were steamy hot and kept me hooked. The storyline had just the
right flow and pace that was all the more engaging and sustainable throughout.
With both men in the closet, one more so than the other, it was interesting to see how the author would bring a happy ending for them
both to move on and to be free with who they were. Thinking this would be a simple
gay for you read, it turned out to be much more. Loved it.
Four stars.
Exclusive Excerpt Part I
“Is this the incredibly sexy Bryan Gallagher, the world’s top rock journalist?”
The soft chuckle on the phone had Aubrey’s dick as hard as steel in an instant. Bryan was like catnip and Aubrey wanted to roll around in him all the time.
“No one’s sexier than you Aubrey, but thanks.”
“I’ll be the judge of that, Bry. You must remember that I’m a spoiled, pampered rock star and what I say goes. In which case, I declare that you are much hotter than me.”
Bryan responded with a pained-sounding groan. “You are much too kind, but I won’t argue.”
“Good. Remember what I said. I find you interesting and fucking sexy and you matter to me.”
As the conversation paused into silence, Aubrey grimaced. He reminded himself that he was supposed to be taking things slow with Bryan—that he wasn’t supposed to be overwhelming the man. Years of jumping in with both feet, arms, head, and every shred of his emotions had predisposed him to smothering anyone who might show the slightest inclination in pursuing something beyond a fuck. Rolling onto his back on the exquisite king-sized bed of his Milan suite, Aubrey clutched the phone to his ear, the sound of Bryan’s accelerated breathing the only audible thing.
