If you read my Samhain debut, Unleashed, then you briefly met Brian, the hero of Rock Me. He’s Evan’s younger, wilder brother—and I had a total blast writing him. Inked, pierced and with no filter between his mind and his mouth, he’s pretty much what every parent fears their daughter is going to bring home someday. Rock Me is the story of the chaos that ensues when that fear is realized for a particular affluent family who’s determined to keep their daughter away from bad influences that might derail her life. And the story of what happens when she breaks all the rules…

Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn

Loving him couldn’t be worse than losing him. Could it?

Candace Andrews has had enough of pleasing others. In an act of birthday rebellion, she sets out to please herself—by walking into the tattoo parlor owned by her cousin’s ex-boyfriend. All she wants is a little ink, and Brian’s just the guy to give it to her.

As soon as she submits to his masterful hands, though, the forbidden attraction she’s always felt for him resurfaces…and she realizes the devilishly sexy artist could give her so much more.

Sweet, innocent Candace is the last person Brian expected to see again. She’s everything he’s not, and her family despises him. He doesn’t need the hassle, but he needs her, and this time no one is taking her away. Not even those who threaten to make his life a living hell.

Backed into a corner, Candace faces the worst kind of choice. Cave in to those who think Brian is a living nightmare…or hold her ground and risk it all for the one man who rocks her world.

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, naughty language, tattoos aplenty, family drama, a hot rock concert…and a bad boy hero who’s pierced in all the right places.

UNLEASHED Now in Print!

By Cherrie.Lynn on February 28, 2010

Looking for a hot summer read to get you through the last cold days of winter? That’s just what you’ll find if you pick up UNLEASHED, available now in print and ebook format.

I’ve always loved friends-to-lovers stories, and I hope you’ll enjoy Evan and Kelsey’s journey as much as I adored writing it. Read on for the blurb, and if you’d like more, you can find excerpts and a free prequel at my website.

One week in paradise will make or break them…

It’s not enough that Kelsey’s husband left her for another woman. Oh, no. The “other woman” had to be her best friend Evan’s fiancée. Not only has she lost her marriage, she fears losing Evan to the lingering awkwardness and humiliation that hangs between them.

Evan has no intention of letting that happen. He’s got plans…namely, an extra plane ticket to Hawaii now his future wife is out of the picture. There’s only one person he wants on the trip with him, the one who’s always been there for him. The one he should never have let slip away into the arms of a traitorous friend who shattered her heart.

Kelsey is anticipating a week of fun in the sun with the man who’s always treated her like a little sister. No one’s more surprised when she discovers that Evan has seduction on his mind—and that she’s more than ready for it.

Love is the most powerful healing force of all. But past demons have a way of ripping open old wounds, and threatening the survival of even the strongest friendship…

Warning: This title contains explicit sex between best friends, graphic language…and a hero who knows how to put the hot in “hot tub”.

Last year when my wonderful editor, Linda, first told me the release date for this book, I thought, “That’ll never get here!” And indeed, during that time in between, it really seemed it wouldn’t. So much happened. I graduated college, took on a new position at work, survived a hurricane, gave birth (not during the hurricane, thank God), and later watched helplessly for three weeks while my baby struggled to breathe with whooping cough. It turned out to be such a long, cold winter, and not only was I looking forward to my first book’s release, but I desperately needed spring to come and bring some hope and warmth. At last, both have arrived, and I couldn’t be happier!

My baby girl got better and she’s beautiful and healthy, along with the rest of my family. And, as of today, I can finally call myself a published author, something I’ve dreamed of since I was a wee lass. There’s such a feeling of euphoria when the clouds finally break, isn’t there?

That’s something I explore through my characters in Unleashed: that process of shaking off the bitter cold and embracing the hope of summer. This is the story of two best friends finding an even deeper connection, leaving their past where it belongs, and fighting for what they know will make them happy…with some naughty fun along the way. I hope you’ll enjoy their journey as much as I loved writing it. Here’s to bright days ahead!
