When I read Mister Bodyguard by this author, I found her writing style to be slow paced but incredibly sweet. This book is no less. The pace is slow but the book is chock full of warm-hearted moments, so much family love, and spiced with the right amount of angst and humor.
I liked Dax and Violet as a couple. Dax had the irresistible appeal of the youngest sibling in the family, he knows his older brothers and sister have his back. He’s a little spoiled and a little entitled, but he‘s also sweet and generous and loving, so we forgive him. He grew up a lot during the course of this book.
Violet was raised by a single mother, had a step-father for a too brief period, lost him to tragic circumstances. She has trust and abandonment issues, and yet, she works at designing hero suits for kids with cancer as a way to improve their life. I saw her as courageous, forgiving, intuitive and generous. She and Dax made a great couple, and she inspired Dax to write the best songs ever.
Violet did something very wise. Since they met and fell for each other on the eve of Dax’s first tour as an opening band, she didn’t want to pursue any relation with him, even though they had such a great connection. She let him be free to experience the chaotic existence of a world tour. Then at the end of the tour in eight months, they could connect again, if he so desired. As predicted, Dax went wild, missed Violet so much but still messed around with groupies, developed uncertainty about their feelings, and came back from tour a total mess.
His older brothers intervened, helped him get on track again, and when he finally saw Violet again, his feelings and hers were reinforced. However, there were huge obstacles against their HEA. They both made mistakes, Dax was a little coward and douche, but their feelings were strong and true. This story was highly entertaining because of their strong feelings, fun banter and comical nicknames. This family don’t refer to each other by their given names but by nicknames that show their love. Sometimes they are too cheesy but it’s cute. I loved the family feel, the warm-hearted vibe and Dax and Violet’s strong inner self. There are sexy times, funny times, family times, and very angsty and angry times. It was highly entertaining.

A very solid rockstar romance. Believable characters, setting, and storyline. There was something that I was wanting and I'm not quite sure what it was though.
The lyrics of the songs were amazing and I liked how the author incorporated the writing process for Dax.

I didn't want to read this book...
Only because that meant there were no more Morgan Brothers and one of my favorite series was coming to an end.
I thought I had my favorite Morgan brother already but as it turns out, just like all the others, Lauren Rowe makes you fall in love with Dax. Not only Dax but Violet too. There were times while reading that all I wanted to do was go into the book and hug her.
Even though Violet and Dax meet and its instant attraction!! Dax is headed on his first tour and thus the angst ensues. Not only are they having to deal with his rising star but there are a few unexpected road blocks that come up that make you wonder how it's all going to work out? Is it insta-lust or love at first sight?? Is it going to be worth all the heartache that is sure to follow?? Lauren keeps us on our toes and also entertains us with Daxy's wonderful songs that will make anyone wish they had their own Rock Star to serenade them.
If you are a fan or Lauren Rowe you will not be disappointed in the youngest brother and his way with the women and if you are new to her you will quickly find out why and how so many readers have fallen in love with the Morgan Clan and will be sorry to see them go.
Here is to crossing our fingers for maybe a next generation series and possibly a Reed River's???

This Rockstar is the real thing
The Morgan family is all about love. This Rockstar learns he is too. The One and Only sashshays into his life looking like Uma Thurman disco Elvis and he was gone.
Gone for her looks. Gone for her eyebrow quirk and her get over here scowl. Lost in her beauty. Lost in their chemistry. Lost in his immediate future and afraid to take a leap.
Well, lucky for him, Lauren Rowe, knew his future or Daxy would still be in misery. Fall hard for the hottie with the booty and swoon for his words but love him unconditionally when he shows you his heart!
While I'm sad all the Morgans have their ever afters (without me!), I'm just glad to have been lurking in their shadows! #honorarymorgan

2.5 stars. I dunno man, this book just wasn’t as good as the rest in the series. If I’m being honest I skimmed that last 50% and then devoured Maddy and Keane’s epilogue because

Dax and Violet gave me all the fireflies!!!
I'm blown away by Lauren Rowe's brilliance. The women has completely outdone herself. Rockstar is truly amazing. Sexy, swoony, forbidden, angsty and just overall entertaining, I did not want this book to ever end. The twist and turns...gah!...they set me off on a whirlwind of emotions. Weeks after reading and I'm still hungover. I love, love, loooove this book so dang much.
It's no secret that I am deeply in love with the Morgan family. Like desperately-wishing-they-were-real-and-wanting-to-be-one kind of love. However, if I'm honest, I felt a little disconnected from Dax before reading Rockstar. I didn't feel like I really knew him. Now that I've read his story... *blows out breath* y'all...Dax Morgan is EVERY. SINGLE. THING!! This supremely talented, sensitive, sexy man has stolen a giant piece of my heart. He so different from your typical rock star. Loyal and dedicated, I'm was crushing on him big time.
If falling for Daxy wasn't enough. Ms. Rowe throws in the sweetest, most kind hearted, human being ever. I couldn't help but fall for Violet too. She's had a lot to deal with growing up, leaving her with some insecurities. But still, her spirit and good radiated off the page.
The instant connection between these two really make this book. They're so perfectly matched. I couldn't get enough of their chemistry. *dreamy sigh* Soo in love with their love.
You do not have to read the previous Morgan Brothers books to read this one. I feel like Rockstar had a different vibe from the other books. It still had Lauren Rowe's typical humor and heart. It just had something extra that really took Rockstar to another level. If you want a book that will make you laugh, cry, swoon and fall in love, then you need Rockstar in you life ASAP.
Also, Can we find Fish a nice girl, please?!

Overall I did really like this book. There were a few twists I didn’t see coming, which I always enjoy.
