Rock star Harley Payne seems to have it all. Skyrocketing career. More money than he'll ever need. And women. Lots and LOTS of women. But "seems" is the operative word. Because beneath the material trappings of his fame, Harley is deeply in pain. Reeling from the death of his soldier brother, and apparently nonexistent to his parents, every day is an emotional battle for Harley. When Mac Collins, owner of Mac's Security, puts Achilles Castellanos squarely into Harley's orbit as a bodyguard, Harley's world tips on its axis in more ways than one. Under the huge bodyguard's surveillance 24/7, Harley's love life takes a nose dive. Surprisingly, Harley doesn't care because he's starting to realize his bodyguard has become to mean more to him than just muscle.

Former Delta Force leader Achilles Castellanos lost an entire team, as well as his first love, in an ambush in Ramadi. Clawing his way back to the surface has been hell, but Achilles' iron will has dragged him from the depths of despair. Achilles can't miss the crippling pain that shadows his new charge, heavy metal band member Harley Payne. What began as just another bodyguard job has become his very reason for breathing when Achilles finds himself falling for the rambunctious Harley.

Sparks fly when the men travel to Greece, but a startling revelation could ruin everything before Aphrodite even gets a chance to give them her blessing.

OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES

This book has been re-edited. This book contains homosexual relations and crude language. A sneak peek at book 2 follows the ending! 

Former Navy SEAL Axel Blaze lives a solitary life. He doesn't do emotions, and he doesn't do babysitting. Used to being on his own, his job consists of Wetwork (a charming term coined by the KGB) for his former Master Chief, Mac. When an out-of-the-ordinary job lands on his doorstep, Axel heads down a path that includes a famous heavy metal rock band and one quiet, vulnerable, guitar-shredding virtuoso named Gareth Wolf. 

Gareth Wolf's life changed in an instant when a car he was a passenger in crashed, hurting his brother's best friend and the band's lead guitarist. They created the band, Skull Blasters, as kids. Gareth had always been happy in the background, playing roadie. With the lead guitarist's injury, Gareth is suddenly thrust into the limelight and into a frenzied life he never imagined for himself. Finally fed up with living a lie, Gareth comes out as gay in a newspaper interview and finds himself in the bulls-eye of a crazed stalker. Somebody wants Gareth hurt - or worse - and Mac has been hired to be sure that doesn't happen. Babysitting duty is NOT Axel's strong suit, but Mac won't be budged. 

Enter Axel Blaze. 

Against his better judgment, the big man takes the job to protect the shy musician. The more time he spends with Gareth Wolf, the more he admires the man. Where's a simple assassination when you need one? The situation becomes more volatile for each man as the attempts on Gareth escalate just as Axel finds himself falling for the quiet lead guitarist. 

Strong, funny, smart-ass -- and kinda sweet Axel is everything Gareth has ever wanted in a man. Too bad he's off limits. As the stalker grows bolder, Gareth and Axel move closer emotionally - but is it too late? All Axel knows is that they don't stand a chance if he can't find the maniac trying to kill the man he's come to care about. A lot. 
Everyone knows that relationships that begin in pressured or volatile situations eventually fizzle out. 
Or do they?

Jinx Jett is a rock superstar. As such, the hunky Skull Blasters drummer thoroughly enjoys the many perks of willing groupies, earning him a reputation as the band slut. Making it big and scoring hot women is something Jinx never expected. There's a little voice in the back of his mind constantly reminding him of how he used to be -- shy, overweight and acne prone. One night in a gay bar turns life upside down when Jinx runs into Jayden Dempsey, a kid he's been fantasizing about since giving him his autograph at a mall. Long-held insecurities keep Jinx from fully committing to anyone, and he may lose Jayden if he can't put his past behind him. 

Jayden Dempsey always wanted out of his life in small-town Alabama. When his parents kicked him out after he told them he was gay, Jayden decided the time was right to move on. He crosses the country to try out for 'Singers!', a show that propels unknowns to stardom. In a twist, producers choose him and three others as winners and form a boy band called London Boys.This season, the show brings Jayden and the guys back for the finale. Surprise! The contest's heavy metal finalist will be singing with Skull Blasters. 
Jinx and Jayden's initial meeting doesn't go so well, and Jayden's stunned when the guy he's crushed on for years turns out to be a total jerk. It doesn't stop him from falling into Jinx's arms every time they're alone, but Jayden didn't sign on for one nighters. He wants Jinx Jett, baggage and all. 

Can a former teen outcast put rejection behind him and embrace the acceptance standing right in front of him? How much will one boy bander put up with from his rock idol before enough is enough? Can they make it work? Or are they jinxed in love?

“This book was one that I couldn’t put down once I started reading, and I absolutely loved the storyline, and it actually changed how I thought of Jinx too, he is not a shallow person at all, in fact he is the complete opposite. I also look forward to seeing how Jayden and Jinx get on together in future books too.”~ Gay Media Reviews ☆☆☆☆☆

“Well, Sandrine Gasq-Dion has done again by banging out another winner with Jinxed, her second book from her Rock Series.”~ Goodreads Reviewer ☆☆☆☆☆

“I am quite anxious for the next book in this story, Gasq--Dion has been teasing it for two books now. Definitely a must read series, full of sexy rockers that are passionate about every aspect of their lives, personal and professional.”~ Author T.M. Smith ☆☆☆☆☆

The stall next to the one I was in opened and a man walked out. His eyes met mine and

widened.

“Oh, fuck me,” he whispered.

In two seconds flat, I was back at the mall with that golden­haired hottie with the bubbled ass of 

fantasies. His clear, blue eyes were still fixated on me as I moved forward.

“I know you,” I said stupidly.

“Oh my God! I thought ... the door closed, so I thought ... holy shit! I just sucked Jinx Jett’s 

cock?”

“Could you not yell that?” I snapped. “I’m not ... well, you know ...”

“Gay?” he drawled. “Here’s a tip — don’t come to a gay club and stuff your cock into a glory 

hole!”

“It’s Jayden, right? You’re the guy from the mall?”

“You remember my name? Wait, okay, back up here for just a minute. Why are you here?”

“I was, um, curious?”

“Well, that’s just great. Another guy ‘curious’ about gay men.” Jayden lifted his fingers to 

indicate air quotes.

“I didn’t know if I should stay or what. I mean, how does this work? Do I thank you for a fabulous 

blowjob? Tipping seems to cross a legal line ...”

“You liked it?” Jayden gaped in astonishment.

“Like it?” I laughed. “Fuck yeah, I fucking loved it.”

“Talk.” Gareth pointed at me.

“I had sex Saturday night,” I blurted out.

“Okay, that’s not exactly ‘stop the presses’ stuff.” Gareth raised his brows.

“It was with a guy.”

“Hmmm. Still not major news.”

Hammer chuckled and my head snapped toward him. He winked at me and went back to what 

he was doing. What the fuck? The guy never speaks but he winks? Gareth snapped his fingers 

in front of me and I turned back to him.

“What do you mean ‘not major news’?” I asked curiously.

“Hello? You’re talking to little Gareth O’Donovan, remember? I was at your house a million times 

as a kid. I remember your secret CD collection and your love of Lance Bass.”

“Could you keep your voice down?” I leaned forward, trying to see the other guys up front.

“Whatever. What do you care what they think? They’ll have your back, and you know it. You 

were my hero when I was a kid. You’d always talk to me about the guys and the newest album 

you got. Hell, you loaned me one of them. You always had time for me.”

I stared at Gareth and he smiled. Damn, the kid had grown so much. I still couldn’t believe he 

was married. It seemed surreal.

“It was because of you that I realized I wanted to have sex with Justin Timberlake,” Gareth 

chuckled.

Hammer busted out laughing at that point and we both turned to stare at him. He shrugged his shoulders and grunted.

“I was with Jinx Jett on Saturday night.” Evander tripped and I grabbed his elbow before he fell. 

His mouth opened, then shut, then opened again. I ushered him into the bathroom and checked 

all the stalls. I felt like I was back in high school.

“You fucked him?” Evander’s eyes were wide.

“That’d be a no. I was the catcher.”

“Wow.” Evander leaned against the wall. “I didn’t think he was gay.”

“I think he might be bi. I mean, it didn’t really seem to faze him that he fucked a guy.”

“Well, he’s never really addressed that in interviews, either. I think the last interview he did with 

the band, the question was raised and he said, and I quote, ‘Does it really matter?’” Evander 

smiled at me. “You like him.”

“Um, yeah. Did you not get that when we saw him at the mall?”

“Well, he is hot.” Evander shot me a wicked grin.

“It’s not even how he looks. Have you seen his pictures when he was a kid? He was so 

adorable, even back then. Those pouty lips, those eyes.” I sighed. “He’s so damn talented, too.”

“Yeah, you mentioned that in our radio interview,” Evander laughed. “I think you spent the last 

five minutes of it talking about Jinx.”

“Hey, they asked,” I shrugged.

“We need to get to practice.” Evander opened the bathroom door. He looked back at me. “So, 

no details about his dick?”

“No.”

“A guy can try.”

“Jayden? What are you doing here?”

“I’m in the show.”

“Oh, are you a finalist? I didn’t see you in the lineup.”

“Nope. I’m last season’s winner.”

“Last season?” Jinx furrowed his brow. “I missed last season.”

Evander and the guys came back, trailed by Sebastian, Jericho, and one of the other finalists 

whose name I couldn’t remember no matter how many times I was reminded. Jericho winked at 

me and I smiled.

“Well!” Sebastian’s voice boomed over the empty stage. “I see you guys are all getting to know 

one another. This is Jericho, our first heavy metal finalist, and this is Scott,” Sebastian motioned 

to the other guy. “He’s more of an alternative kind of guy. Gareth, where are the rest of your 

guys?”

“Right behind us,” Gareth answered.

“Oooh, I sense some chemistry over there,” Scott crooned. “Heavy metal is joining the boy 

band? I didn’t know you liked them so ... pretty, Jinx.”

“Wait, what?” Jinx spun around.

“Oh yeah,” Scott continued maliciously. “Jayden and his merry band of mates make up London 

Boys.”

Jinx spun back to me, a look of absolute horror on his face. “You’re in a boy band?” he almost 

whispered.

“Guilty.” I held up my hands.

“You like ’em, huh, Jinx?” Scott leered.

I wanted to slap Scott in the face. No wonder I couldn’t remember his name — it wasn’t worth 

remembering. Jinx backed away from me and I took a step forward.

“Don’t.” Jinx lowered his voice so that I only I could hear him. “I can’t believe you’re in a fucking 

boy band! You guys barely sing, you just go na­na­na­naaaa, and you don’t even play 

instruments!”

I recoiled as if I’d been the one slapped. Jinx was staring at me as if I were a serial killer. The 

anger boiled up and I lashed out.

“Fuck you, Jinx!” I stomped offstage, Evander hot on my heels.

“Can I get some clothes?”

“I like you in a robe.” Jinx waggled his brows.

I started for the door and Jinx jumped up and grabbed my hand. He pushed me into the wall and 

gently pinned my hands above my head.

“Jinx ...”

I gasped as his thigh insinuated itself between my legs, rubbing my balls.

“Yeah?” his breath caressed my lips.

“I ... fuck ... stop doing that,” I panted.

“This?” Jinx raised his knee higher and rubbed my dick.

My God, my mouth actually started watering as Jinx leaned in closer to me, letting his tongue 

trail my bottom lip. I wanted to taste him so fucking bad my whole body hurt. I wanted him. I 

couldn’t deny it.

“Fuck, you are sexy as sin,” Jinx rumbled against my lips. “Love your lips, your eyes, even your 

fucking hair turns me on.”

I clenched my eyes shut and tried to stay in control.

“Yeah? Even if I’m a talentless pretty boy?”

Jinx stiffened. He pulled back slowly and searched my eyes.

“I’m sorry I said that.”

“Yeah? Why did you say it? What’s your problem with me being in a boy band?”

Jinx sighed and let my hands go. He rubbed his hands down his face and exhaled slowly. I 

continued to speak because by that time, my word vomit had begun. “I don’t even like boy bands, but you know what? This is where I am and fuck it! I’m successful. 

Do you know I auditioned with one of your band’s songs?” Jinx’s gasp was very audible in the 

room. His eyes widened. “Yep, that’s right. I sang Manwhore; the song fits you.”

“I deserve that.”


“Are you going to tell me what your problem is?” I placed my hands on my hips, glaring at him.

Oh fuck.

“I thought...” Jayden blinked and shook his head.

“Are you all right, Jinx?” Achilles asked sharply.

“I’m fine.”

“Ma’am? Could you button your blouse, please?” Achilles addressed the woman with no 

expression on his face.

I walked around Arielle and approached Jayden. He backed up, still shaking his head.

“Jayden...” I reached out to him.

“No.” Jayden lifted his chin. “Don’t worry about it. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

He turned and ran down the corridor and I started to follow, but Achilles gripped my bicep and 

held me back. Arielle walked past us, straightening her shirt.

“Maybe next time?” she cooed, completely oblivious.

No and just ... no. God, was I so wrapped up in Jayden that I couldn’t even function with 

women? Seemed that way.

Achilles dragged me into the corridor and shut the bedroom doors behind me. He turned to face 

me and I saw anger in those cool eyes.

“What?” I said in defiance. “This is who I am.”

“Bullshit,” he snapped. “It’s who you used to be. Jayden was worried you’d been drugged or 

something so he came and found me.”

My mouth dropped open in surprise. I’d never heard Achilles speak that forcefully. His brows 

were furrowed and his glare went right through me.

“Don’t play with people’s emotions, Jinx. That’s not you,” he continued.

“How the fuck do you know who I am?”

“I’ve been watching you. I know more than you think, Jinx. Jayden sees you, the real you, not 

the guy you show everyone else. Either let him go, or reel him in ─ but don’t fuck with his head.”

5 out of 5 stars

Jinxed is the second book in The Rock Series and should definitely be read in order. You'll miss many of the references and who's who if you haven't read the first book, Fret. 

I have a thing for bad boy drummers, and Jinx Jett in all his rock star glory fills that description so well! Jinx works hard, plays even harder, and loves his music and his band mates. And... women. But wait..you say this is a m/m romance right? Just wait till Jinx meets our boy, Jayden. Jinx is not straight and probably never has been, he's just tucked it away and hidden it for a long time after having rough teenage years. 

Jayden is just about perfect for Jinx, or maybe it's Jinx who's perfect for Jayden. Even with Jinx's disdain for all things boyband, he let's sexy, talented Jayden get under his skin. Jayden on the other hand has been half in love and lust with Jinx for a while. Unfortunately Jinx is almost stupid enough to let Jayden slip through his capable drummer's fingers by letting his own issues from his past overwhelm him. Luckily he pulls his head out of his ass and doesn't let that happen. It helps that Jayden doesn't easily give up either. 

I actually loved this book more than Fret, the first book in the series. There was something about both Jinx and Jayden that kept me hooked into the book until the very last page. Then when it was over..I was like WHAT.. NO I want more! I mean I've yet to read a book by this author that I haven't liked but these two were fun, a bit crazy, but something about them just really worked. 

Unlike Fret, this book wasn't setting up the start of a new series. This allowed the story to be more about the main characters and not world building or introduction. It also delved more in to the secondary characters, who I can imagine we'll see a lot more of in the rest of the series. I look forward to the next book in this series!
