Rockstars don't chase, they get chased. Until he met her.

Ryan Evans was meant to be a fling. Men don’t change and I don’t do serious. Especially not with rock stars.

Once a player, always a player. And all men, in my experience, are. It's like they can't help themselves. 

Usually, that reminder is enough. I dismiss most before I even meet them. Especially the hot ones. 

But now Ryan, lead singer of Rhiannon, wants more. He keeps turning up, tempting me with his kisses and wearing me down with his charm, insisting that this time it's different. That he's different, and I'm the one he can't forget.

Against every reason not to, I'm starting to believe that maybe he's right.

Chasing Alys is a slow burn steamy rock star romance. The first in the True Platinum series, this spicy contemporary romance follows Ryan as he tries to convince Alys that he's in this for the long haul. If you enjoy hot British, cinnamon roll heroes, Welsh settings, take no-nonsense heroines, hookups gone wrong and steamy love scenes, you'll love getting lost in Ryan and Alys's story.

🎸 Excerpt from Chasing Alys 🎸

I've sworn off men and that includes gorgeous rock stars.

But then I met Ryan, a force of nature that I never saw coming. With his eyes that seemed to see into my soul and a sexy rock star charm that could make anyone weak in the knees. He was determined to break down my walls and make me agree to a date.

I tried to resist his advances, but he was relentless in his pursuit. He’s meant to be leaving town, but he keeps showing up! In the supermarket, the farmers’ market, the Christmas fair. serenading me with his incredible voice...

“I hope you weren’t thinking about leaving.”

I almost groaned. I certainly didn’t need to turn around to identify who was talking.

“Twice in one day? I’d call this fate.”

“Or you’re stalking me.”

Ryan laughed.

I crossed my arms and eyed him. “First my dance class, then the gig and the supermarket. It’s a reasonable conclusion.” My serious expression slipped as I spoke, and I found myself mirroring his grin before the last syllable fell from my lips.

“I should ask you the same question.” He scanned my outfit, his eyes lingering on the low V cut that threatened to reveal my bra to all.

Swallowing hard, his eyes met mine. “Have you changed your mind since this morning?”

I wish. “No.”

“Too bad. I think the universe is trying to tell us something,” he said against my ear.

There was heat in his eyes when he stepped back, and I followed him, drawn to it.

I pressed a hand to his chest and leaned on my tiptoes until our cheeks grazed. “I’m not a big believer in signs,” I shouted over the music.

He smirked as I dropped back to my heels and pulled away. “Somehow I’m not surprised.”

My brain fixed on the quirk of his lips like it had never seen an arrogant man smile before and needed to memorise every detail for future torture. Sound dulled as I watched his eyes darken.

The crowd around us blurred into the hazy background.

Slowly, he lowered his face, tilting his head. Time slowed as I waged a battle with my conscience. What was the worst thing that could happen if I let him kiss me? One kiss wouldn’t hurt, even if I would be knowingly leading him on. Yet maybe knowing how his lips felt against mine would stop my mind from constantly wondering. Maybe it would be terrible and problem solved. But watching his lips quiver as he swooped toward me, I doubted it.

“Sorry,” a girl said, bumping into my back and knocking me forward. My head collided with Ryan’s nose, and he groaned in pain. The bubble burst and I was free of his spell.

Ratings and reviews

Took a long time to get from point A to point B. I got tired of reading a couple of times, unable to take the effusion of words, but the basic plot was so compelling I just couldn't quit. I would caution to have a good deal of patience while tackling this novel but I do recommend it, though I'm usually not much for rockstar romances. This has the frenetic pace I typically associate with the subgenre as well as the great egos (and related insecurities they cover.) But the characters manage to be lovable despite it all. The plot borders on melodramatic while the writer chooses words which bring the situation to life but never detracts from it. If it were turned into me as an assignment, I'd rate it a solid. B+.

A British author, a British rock band. Ryan, a charming, romantic and honest rockstar, who hasxwomen falling at his feet. Alys, had her heartbroken from the experiences of a previous relationship and is not prepared to have her head turned, but underestimates his kindness and determination to prove otherwise. He may be a rock star, but she doesn't make it easy for him. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Alys was still healing after a break up and gave up on love until she meets Ryan. She is resistant but Ryan is determined to win her over. This steam rockstar romance will keep you glued to the pages. This is a good story and a must read.
