About this ebook

He was the voice of a generation until one mistake silenced him. She’s the small-town powerhouse ready to take his crown.

Phoenix Steel was once a god of the stage, but the world only remembers the "bad boy" washout who crashed his career in a haze of alcohol and broken promises. Now, he’s back for a televised second chance, determined to win on his own terms—until he hears her.

Maggie Carrigan is the minister's daughter from Kansas City with a voice that reaches the heavens and a desperate need to find her own light away from her parents' basement. On the glittering stage of a national reality competition, she’s not just a contestant; she’s the only one who sees the man behind the carefully crafted "bad boy" image.

When the cameras stop rolling, the rivalry fades into a magnetic connection in Phoenix’s private Beverly Hills studio. But in a world where ratings matter more than the truth, the show’s producers are ready to exploit Phoenix’s darkest secrets and Maggie’s innocence for a headline.

As the finale approaches, Phoenix must decide if winning the spotlight is worth losing his muse, while Maggie must choose between the stardom she’s always dreamed of and the star who has already captured her heart.

Can two voices from different worlds find a harmony that lasts when the music stops?

Ratings and reviews

Good Rock And Roll Romance This was a well written, easy to read, lovely romantic tale. This romance was woven through the processes of a singing competition. Ms. Pinder delved in to all the intricacies of how a show of this nature is produced. From the unseen back areas of make-up and costume, through to the on-camera live performances, to the judges and the host of the show. These details provided insight into all the machinations of a production of this type. I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.

Legendary Rock Star is the first book in a new series by Victoria Pinder. It is the story of Phoenix Steel, a fallen rock star who is vying for a comeback on a television show, 5 years after being kicked out of the hottest band on the radio. There he meets another contestant, Maggie Carrigan, who is looking to win the album contract and guaranteed singing tour. Although Phoenix and Maggie have instant chemistry, there are numerous obstacles that must be overcome before they find their HEA ending. This is a relatively clean book with no graphic sex scenes and only a few f-bombs. The author has introduced us to wonderful characters, warts and all. The plot was believable and entertaining. Having been a long time fan of this author, I had high expectations for this book and was not disappointed. I look forward to reading her next book in this series.
