I'll Wait

About this ebook

A power couple. A riches to rags guitar god. And a crushing reunion that may break or remake…but only if the cards are dealt right.  

  

An unexpected pair of tickets and backstage passes land me in the front row, watching the sexiest guy named Lyxx, play like he was born with a guitar in his hand.  With my Hollywood starlet reputation, this is not what I expected, as a quick visit to his room turns into nothing more than a diversion.  After leaving him with a secret message, he still does not respond, and despite my best friend’s warning, I don’t relent.  But I soon learn the reason.  And it’s nothing that late night promises, a ring on my finger, or a place in his heart can fix. 

***   

It’s too late.  By the time her ill-equipped bodyguards, faithless so-called best friend, and her uncaring, big-mouthed agent feed her to the lions, she’s already alone, in a room, with a man that looks at her like she’s his next meal.  Sure, he’s my bandmate, but Julia is a classy, Hollywood actress, with more morals and reputation than my whole band could muster in a lifetime.  And we’re…not.  Yet she watches me as I ride the waves of stardom with her, only she seems to flourish, while I fall flat on my face.  The proof is all over the papers that I don’t deserve her.  And then an unfortunate photo, followed by a subsequent video, capturing all the reasons, is seen by millions.   

  

Ironically, the show goes on, but with one less participant.  I’m just not sure if the rest can wait, or if it really is too late.  How many can make it to rock bottom, and live to tell the tale?  I’ll wait… 

Ratings and reviews

I love rockstar romances and books set in the 70s & 80s so this series has been a no brainer for me. In this book, number 7, we have guitarist Lynx and his ex, Julia, in a second chance story that will take you on a ride. I really like a good second chance romance and that's what Sandra has written. She's also very open and honest about the inner workings and drama in two very complex industries. I felt sorry for these two that they were ripped apart and really wanted them to find each other again and make it work. Lots of steam, tons of drama and a few tears, I really loved this story.

Lynx and Julia had me all caught up in this story from start to finish. They were a power couple until a scandal tore them apart. Lynx finds himself falling apart in the aftermath of everything happening. Will they find their way back to each other and will their second chance lead them to the happily ever after they deserve? This is a well written story with dynamic characters I enjoyed connecting with as I cheered them on to getting their chance for happiness. I received a free copy of this b

This is the seventh book in this incredible series, and this is Lyxx and Julia’s story. This is a well written emotional roller coaster, with drama, scandal, heartbreak, friends, secrets, second chances, addiction, informative, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable page turner. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the Author

Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.

Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandra’s goal is to have the reader rooting for the main couple…and she doesn’t disappoint.

You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. She’s gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesn’t do coffee or chocolate.

Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. She’s also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.

Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.

The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels. In case you haven’t guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.

The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.

The rock star romances are inspired by the death of Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020.
