I fell head over heels for Olivia Cunnings Sinners on Tour series, so it was only natural for me to beg her to post here! This is a very dynamic and exciting post! Great giveaway too!
Love Rocks
by
Olivia Cunning
It’s
almost Valentine’s Day—the holiday that celebrates love… and chocolate. If
you’ve never heard of me, I write erotic romance books about rock stars. The
Sinners on Tour series is very sexually explicit, but at each book’s core is a
celebration of love. And how do rock stars express themselves? Through music.
Each member of the band has a different idea of love, falls in love and
expresses his feelings in a different way, and so I’ve picked a different love
song to represent each of the books in the Sinners on Tour series.
The first book in the series is Backstage Pass. It’s about the lead guitarist of the band, Brian Sinclair. He’s the romantic on the group, but he has a habit of trying to be emotionally and romantically entangled too quickly. His heroine, Myrna, doesn’t want to be emotionally or romantically entangled at all. And so Brian sets out to win her heart. Brian’s love song is “All I Want” by Staind.
The second book in the series is Rock Hard. The lead singer of the band, Sed Lionheart, has a reputation of being, well, an ass, when it comes to women. He’s only interested in one thing and has been that way since his fiancée, Jessica, dumped him. What Jessica doesn’t know is that he’s never stopped loving her, so when they meet again, he’s not going to let her get away a second time. Sed’s love song is “If You Only Knew” by Shinedown.
The third book in the series is Hot Ticket. The bassist of the band, Jace Seymour, had a challenging upbringing (to say the least). He doesn’t understand love—how to give it or accept it from others and his heroine, Aggie, is probably the last person you’d think would be the one to show him what it means to be loved, but she refuses to give up on him. She wants to help him become whole again. Jace’s love song is “Erase My Scars” by Evans Blue.
The fourth book in the series is Wicked Beat. And it’s not being released until August 2013. It’s about the drummer, Eric Sticks. I won’t give away the plot, but I will give you a song. Right now Eric’s love song is “Hanging by a Moment” by Lifehouse. I’m sure that will change by the time the book comes out. I’m indecisive that way. And this song is much too soft for one of my playlists. But I like it and it sounds like Eric when he’s with his lady. Mushy.
The fifth book in the series is Double Time. And even though it’s the last book in the series, it’s already been released. Double Time is about the rhythm guitarist of the band, Trey Mills, and his attempts to get over someone in his past by finding love with not one, but two people. Trey has a lot of love to give. His love song is “Alive” by Adelita’s Way.

ReplyDeleteHi Miki, I don't think I know it. But I will look it up! Thanks!
DeleteI think it is Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You :) Great song!
Deleteyes that one, thank you misshalim
DeleteSuper post, thank you, Olivia for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI'm more into the indie folk music. I love "Smiling Underneath" by Ani Difranco, and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Melanie Doane. For something more fun with a faster beat, I like "Let's Do It" by Joan Jett. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have some Ani DiFranco, but not that one.

ReplyDeleteHopelessly lost when it comes to music. I'll have to check these out. Thanks! Steph
DeleteFor my favorite love song of all time I'm going old school...Etta James' At Last.

ReplyDeleteTHanks for telling us about this one.
DeleteSed all the way *.*
ReplyDeleteWhenever I hear a musician scream into a mic I think of Sed. Thanks!
DeleteRight now it would have to be A Thousand Years by Christina Perri - her voice with that song is something special. Thanks for having a contest!!
ReplyDeleteI think that is on the Breaking Dawn I Soundtrack. Thanks, Steph
DeleteMy favourite love song would be Turning Page by sleeping at Last. I love this song. It's going to be my first dance at my wedding. My future hubby-to-be doesn't know that yet ;)
ReplyDeleteI will have to look this up! Thanks

DeleteFavorite rock ballad is "I Remember You" by Skid Row. hands down.
ReplyDeleteWow, with that kind of passion I will have to look that up!
DeleteSweet Child o Mine
ReplyDeleteI don't know that - but the title is lovely. Thanks for sharing it.
DeleteArms Wide Open
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fun love song is still Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard. I know it's old but so am I :)
Me too, and dang I still don't know it. I am seeing a lot of things I need to check out - Thanks!
DeleteLove Arms Wide Open and at one time I wanted to have Joe Elliott's children. LOL Love him! Is this Love by Whitesnakes was one of my favs back in the day!
DeleteCome away With Me..
ReplyDeleteNow that I actually have! Thanks!
DeleteI love the Sinners. All of them, especially Brian and Jace, but after reading Hot Ticket I am having a secret crush on Eric. I can't wait for his book.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song (really old 80's) Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue. I saw them twice in the 80's and loved them. I am a big 80's big hair band fan or just about any Rock'n'Roll. Also love just about anything by Led Zepplin, especially Black Dog or Kashmir.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Back in the 1960ss they would have come up with a g-rated TV series for The Sinners. Thank goodness it is not the 1960s! Thanks for commenting.
DeleteMy all time favorite song is "The Dance" by Garth Brooks. Whenever my husband and I hear this song, we just look at each other and automatically start dancing where we can. Otherwise, we just hug or hold hands. I cry every time. No other song has had that kind of effect on us. We celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in November this year.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. We just had our 30th this year too. Thanks!

DeleteRascal Flatts - Not Just Me & Lifehouse - You and Me. One for the relationship you're desperate for and one for the relationship you can't believe you're in.
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. I had never thought of music that way. Thanks for sharing it.
DeleteJust The Way You Are by Bruno Mars : )
ReplyDeleteI know who this guy is because his song was in Breaking Dawn and he was on SNL. Thanks!
DeleteOH, mes luv the Bruno. My fav is Locked Out of Heaven it has the most amazing lyrics, they just speak to me.

ReplyDeleteI am going to have to have a date with I-tunes after this. Steph
DeleteGod Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
ReplyDelete'In Your Eyes' by Peter Gabriel

ReplyDeleteExcellent clasic!
DeleteExcellent Classic!

ReplyDeleteLike the Rain by Clint Black. It's special to me!
ReplyDeletemodularmates(at)comcast(dot)net
George Straight I Cross My Heart is one of my favorites as it was played at my wedding. There are probably more that I like better now but that one will always hold a very special place in my heart!
ReplyDeleteMy song would be by Journey-Faithfully
ReplyDeleteWhat A Wonderful World. It was my wedding song.
ReplyDeleteOurs is, Forever and for Always by Shania Twain. It's funny because neither of us listen to country music but this song used to play on the radio all the time when we first started dating and it's the first and only song we ever slow danced to. lol Neither one of us like to dance but we did a few times.
ReplyDeleteSophie Zelmani - Always You! =]
ReplyDeletebless the broken road by rascal flatts
ReplyDeleteI just love Muse, I think Newborn does it for me.
ReplyDeleteSeize the Day, or Dear God, by Avenged Sevenfold
ReplyDeleteso many great 80's power ballads....omg... I remember you - Skid Row :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of love songs that I've loved over the years but the one that really speaks to me right now is The Promise by In This Moment.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing what all of your fave love songs are. I've heard most of them (even the country ones). I'm surprised there is so much variety here. I figured there would be more overlap. Just goes to show how wonderful it is to be human and have differences of opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree there are so many, a few of mine have already been taken, I always think of Faithfully & Open Arms by Journey, Night Moves, You'll Accompany Me and Chances Are by Bob Seger......I could see some dreaming of Dare Mills while listening to Journey! Olivia you rock!
