Behind the Lyrics Kindle Edition

by Melissa Riddell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (470)
What happens when a Rock God falls for a mere mortal?

Angela Morales
I came to Mesa Palms for a fresh start after my divorce. Needing the serenity and calm of the desert, I spend my afternoons as a DJ rocking the city. It might not be the most glamorous job, but I love the no-frills life and answering only to my cat.

That is, until one day, England’s biggest God of Nu Rock walks in like he owns the place, and my boss forces me to interview the arrogant jerk on-air. The entire interview turns into a horrible disaster, but it gets even worse when Viktor sets his sights on me.

He thinks he can seduce me with his bedroom eyes, but I’ve dealt with men like him before. I’ll chew him up and spit him out so hard he’ll land back in England, where he belongs.

Viktor Farrow
When I walked into the dumpy radio station, I’ll admit I didn’t think much of it--until I saw the little angel sitting in front of the microphone with a snarky smile.
Yeah, I've made some terrible mistakes in my past, but it’s been years and I’ve cleaned up my act.

No drugs. No alcohol. No messing around.

Does Angela, the little demon sent to torture me, believe it? That’s a big, fat bloody no.

But I have a plan—Operation Angel Seducer. Once it’s sprung, she’ll be putty in my quite capable hands. After all, no woman has ever resisted the lead singer of Angry Gods.

    Clawing her way back to independence after divorcing her abusive and alcoholic husband, Angela has no time for a washed up, has been rock legend who threw it all away for sex, drugs and booze.

    Viktor Farrow is in Mesa Palms with his new band writing and recording his come back album. His assistant thought it would be a great idea to stop in the tiny local rock station to give an interview to drum up some buzz on his return to the spotlight.

    He hadn't counted on DJ Angela Morales calling him out on all of his past indiscretions. Live. On air. And streaming too.

    Let the games begin!

    Viktor can't let this affront to his ego go without a fight. But what he finds is a woman with her own demons and fears. One who sets his blood to fire, one who makes him want to stay on the path of sobriety and fidelity.

    What we get is a love story that's about forgiveness and second chances. It's about letting go of your fears and learning to trust again. About being vulnerable to another person, knowing that they're there for you and that they won't betray your trust. And it's about living up to your potential, even when you think you had it all before and lost it, finding there is always something more to strive for.

    Angela and Viktor, you'll love their compelling love story.

    This is a lovely rock God fantasy that has readers pulling for both love interest. You can cheer for the strong, but broken hero and heroin while they fight their ways to each other. The surrounding cast of characters, including a feisty feline, help move the story to it's finally with quirky quotes and feral behaviour. This book does not over simplify the hardships of addiction. It highlights the reality of Over coming big obsticals to find the best person to live someone else. LOver all a rocking lovely read.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022

    Viktor is was a womanizing, alcohol, and drug user. He used to be a Rock star but he is here to start a new sober life, correcting his mistakes and trying to make something of his life. Angela is also there to start a new life away from her abusive alcoholic ex husband. Viktor goes to the studio for an interview to start a buzz about his new album, but he gets an interview that he will never forget. The banter between these two was amazing. Sometimes it is hard to let go and trust again but it was presented here in a great way. I loved the characters and their interaction. I thought the story flowed well and it was an entertaining story.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I liked reading this book because it is different from other rock star books I've read. Viktor and Angela didn't start off on the right foot when she had to interview him at the radio station. Because of his past, Angela felt like Viktor was nothing but a loser. Viktor couldn't believe that she wasn't falling all over him. He hatched a plan to get back at her but it ended up blowing up in his face. Instead, they slowly formed a connection when they were honest with each other about their past. Viktor was ready to move forward with Angela but she was scared because of her past. When her past reared its ugly head, she finally believed that she can have a future with Viktor.

    Really, really good story! Egoistic rocker gets his comeuppance and his a$$ handed to him right from the start. A radio dj who has been through hell finally gets redemption and the love of her life. What could be a better story? The characters and the storyline was well developed (no droning on and on to build the angst). The banter and the cat were my favorite.

    I kind of loved this book! The first meeting between Angela and Viktor is hilarious. To her dismay, DJ Angela is informed last minute by her boss, that Viktor, British bad boy rock god on-the-comeback-trail, will be arriving momentarily for an on-air interview. In less than a minute the interview goes completely off the rails as they hurl insults at each other; but there are sparks, and as much as they want to deny it, there is a massive attraction between them. This rocky road to love story is an entertaining read and hard to put down. The writing is great and I look forward to reading more by this author. 4.5 stars.
