About this ebook

Book 3 in the Hard Rock Harlots series

NOCTURNES contains 511 F-bombs, 81 well-endowed male chickens, 65 girl kitties, 58 Richard the Lessers, 10 C-U-Next-Tuesdays, and a plethora of other colorful words and phrases that would deafen your virginal mother’s ears and make her bust out her “Shame on you!” finger. If you’ve been tuned in since the beginning of the Hard Rock Harlots series, you know the drill. The sex is extreme, the language is graphic, and the story is over the top. Prudes and under 18s need not apply. 

WARNING: NOCTURNES addresses serious topics such as alcoholism, prostitution, and cheating. If you’re looking for a barrel of laughs or sunshine and rainbows, this is NOT the book for you.

Rax Wrathbone is the dirty rock star you love to hate. The filthy fantasy slithering through your bed sheets. The serpent in your lady garden. The snake bite in your panties that keeps you sweating all night. He. Is. Sex.

And he’s no good. For anyone.

After a nasty breakup with his best friend and their band’s drummer, Rax is flying solo for the first time in years. Who needs the drama of commitment when the line for your humping booth spans three city blocks? No, groupies and liquor are far finer company than relationships, and they don’t leave bruises after they’ve had their way with you. At least not lasting ones.

Rax’s new adventures as an alcoholic, guitar-slashing one-man show are going along swimmingly until the only woman who’s ever brought him to his knees shimmies down a pole back into his life. Eve doesn’t abide excessive drinking, she has sex with strangers for a living, and she can’t remember Rax’s name to save her life.

She’s perfect in every way.

Now, if he could just get sober long enough to forget his past and convince Eve he’s worthy of her future …

Ratings and reviews

We’ve watch Rax go off the rails in the previous two books. He is even more lost now that he’s lost his friendship with Toombs. He now drowns himself in booze still blaming everyone else for his predicament. Eve had a dream when she was young. She wanted to be a ballet dancer, but when her Russian immigrant parents were killed by a drunk driver when she was young that ended that dream. She now dances in strip clubs and to get even more money she also has agreed to perform in a secret part of the club that requires her to do some unspeakable sexual acts. This is not the way she saw her life going but she wants the dream and in her mind that require money. Rax met Lola (Eve’s striper name) before and never forgot her. When he sees her again in the strip club he has been frequenting to drown his sorrows in alcohol he wants one night with her. Problem is he is always falling down drunk when he meets her. Even though Eve has lowered her moral standards in many ways one she will not abide is being with a man who drinks. There are plenty of shocking and heartbreaking scenes for most of this book. This was a great conclusion to the series. Kendal can write sex scenes unlike any other

This book is AWESOME! Grey is not just here to write about horny rock stars, although she does that with great aplomb and nearly divine inspiration, but still, there's some thought going on behind all the Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll. Rax's story is timely, important, relate-able, and realistic. Grey did a fabulous job on his spiral and eventual redemption and salvation. If ever two lost souls were meant for each other, if ever they were there specifically to save one another, it's Rax and Lola/Eve. This is a fan-freaking-tastic story and it has so much heart that you can't help but feel Rax and Eve's pain, happiness, love, and even relief. If you can can put your grandmother's sexual repression in that junk drawer you've got in the kitchen, you're really going to love these books. You might need a fire extinguisher handy when you read the sex scenes, though; there's one in the first book that nearly made my Kindle combust! GET THIS BOOK!

Ok so Rax wasn't my favorite character in the first 2 books. He p*ssed me off and I thought he deserved a kick in the balls for the way he treated his "friends". But by the end of the book, he carved out a lil piece in my heart. I thought his and Eve's story was tragically beautiful at times. But yes, Rax stills p*sses me off :)
