January Release
Hard Rhythm:
The Secrets of a
Rock Star Series
By: Cecilia Tan
January 31, 2017
The Plot:
Are they ready to go all the way?
Maddie Rofel has seen it all. Even the kinkiest games she witnesses working as a host-
ess in LA’s most exclusive private sex club fail to shock her, much less turn her on. Until
the night she has a very personal encounter with drummer Chino Garcia, and the two dis-
cover an intimate connection neither can deny. Suddenly the jaded hostess is softening un-
der Chino’s touch and submitting in ways she never expected.
All his life, Chino has been running from something. Normally he beats back his de-
mons by losing himself in his music. Now he’s losing himself in Maddie. And, while it
drives Chino wild when Maddie bares her body to him, what he really wants is for Maddie
to bare her soul. For that, Chino will have to push Maddie past her furthest limits—and
share his own dark secrets.
Review ***** Publishers Weekly Wrote: “Tan skillfully makes her third Secrets of a
Rock Star novel (after Wild Licks) do double duty, first as a wildly creative, enthusiastic,
immersive, and incredibly hot romance between experienced kinksters, and second as a
public service announcement that clearly illustrates the difference between BSDM and do-
mestic abuse.” http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-4555-3366-4
