I hate rockstars. All of them. But there’s one in particular…
Drax is cocky, brash and one pitchfork away from being the devil himself. But he’s also the sexiest jerkwad I’ve ever met. Worse than that, he seems to crave my curves just as much as I long for his rock-hard, tattoo-covered body.
What am I supposed to do, just ignore those mesmerizing ice-blue eyes? Or how all my bits and pieces tighten whenever he’s near? Or the way his voice gets all husky when he calls me Lola?
Yeah, right.
That’s how I ended up on a tour bus headed for Vegas as the band’s new manager. But it’s only temporary, much like what’s going on between Drax and me. I just wish he’d got the memo. Oh sure, he’s putting on a good show that this is more than a fling, but I know he’s just like every other bad boy, heavy metal musician.
Want to know the worst part? I don’t like heavy metal or bad boys.
Maybe I’ll lie to myself a little longer.

2.5 Stars
I'm not sure what to say about this book. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either hence the half way rating. The cover is what grabbed my attention.
I've read a few rock star romances and while this had everything that is usually in them like insta-lust and drunken weddings with a few other drama's thrown in. The writing in this one felt a bit young/immature. I mean I think she even used a "ka-pow" and a few other young slang type word, I mean really are u a pre-adolescent boy in a super hero comic!!! That really lowered the rating for me.
Another was the constant hot and cold from Lola, it was really repetitive.
This book was only in the h's POV, I feel it leaves the H a little underdeveloped, though what we did get I really liked. He came across as a bad boy rocker with a bit of a sweet centre. -
This book is so much fun. Poor Lauren, rejected by her mother, dumped by her sleazy boyfriend and fired in public from a job she really wanted. But when one door closes, another one opens, and in walks Drax, lead singer for ROADKILL. These two together are really hilarious until they're NOT! Lots of twists and turns in this one!

Lola thought she´s made it when she´s got the chance to manage a rockbands appearance, all on her own. This should show her boss that she can do this, right? Well, it would, if disaster didn´t strike. Drunken stars, no show at the event, and now the band is without manager. Can she really help them?
Drax never expected to meet this knock out gorgeous woman, but first glance tells him she´s the one. When faith intervenes, he won´t hesitate to make her his. Will Lola agree?
Rockstar Romance, feelings and smutty fluff in a great combo. -
DNF at 30%
Can’t read anymore. It’s only been a few hours and the MC has gone from hating some unknown guy because he’s a rockstar, to obsessing, stalking, and wanting to “marry him and have a thousand of his beautiful babies.” -
I am so used to reading shifter romances from Ms. Maddix, that this story took me completely by surprise, but as always Marina did not disappoint me.....She rocked literally! The way the story develops, the complexities involved covered with that special touch of humor was ingenious! Kept me glued to the very end.
They say opposites attract, that is definitely the case with Lauren and Drax. She's a homebody and he's a rock star, but it was love at first sight and now they must go through a series of obstacles, mainly Lola's insecurities, not to mention a crazy fan.
The sex in this story was very tasteful and passionate too. Great storyline and a hinted message, you should never downgrade, or doubt yourself and if you really want something, just go for it and if it doesn't work for you at least you tried.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. -
I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Marina Maddix.
Lauren Raines was trying to get her foot into the music business by working in a crappy job. When she is fired by her boss for something she ends up being the manager of the band Roadkill but falling for Drax was not in her plans.
Draymond (Drax) Maxwell was the equivalent of a rock god to his fans and when he sees Lola for the first time and gets berated by her he could not help but fall for her. Can 2 totally different people find a happy ever after or will things hit a brick wall.
The flow of the story was amazing and the character interactions was so riveting through out the whole book. I had a hard time putting it down because it was so good.
This is a romance for mature readers because of sexual content and or adult language. -
I absolutely hate this book and here’s why Lauren acted as those she was 16 using slang and throwing tantrums all over the place she had two fathers and she said she was fine with that but made it her point to talk about flamboyant one of them were...papi accent was horrible and the band members frank and jake acted like 12 year old teenage boys when they got scolded...the dialogue was nonsense all the way through the girl with the pink on not needed in the book the only thing that seemed somewhat interesting was drax but then he began to get on my
Nerves with the whole bad boy but all soft....Exterior also I found the mob guy more interesting...thank god I only paid $2 for this book used otherwise I would have been mad 😡 -
Gag. So much descriptive filler that I couldn't make it through the first chapter...
" His voice is a hot whisper of air across my skin as he slips the photo from my frozen fingers. I don't dare look up at him. If I do, I'll drown in those eyes. But they're almost calling out to me. The temptation is irresistible. My gaze travels up the cotton-covered ridges and valleys of his chest, over the taut sinew of his neck and hard edge of his jaw, where a muscle is spasming, until it meets his. He's looking at me like I'm his next meal, and so help me, I wish I was. Jerk or not, I'd let this man, this beast, devour me whole, right here behind that flimsy black curtain in the middle of my dads' store..."
🤦♀️ seriously. -
Super fun heroine, awesome hero & band
I LOVED THIS BOOK.
There, okay, I said it, and it’s out. Super funny, with very appealing characters. The entire book is from the heroine’s point of view, and she’s a riot. If you’re a careful reader, you can pick up clues (although it’s not a huge mystery...the heroine is a little slow on the uptake, but she’s not stupid) about the hero.
I had this in my KU library for way too long. I don’t know what I was waiting for. Read it! If you love rockstar romances, this one is light, funny, and a great way to spend a couple of hours (or three). -
I usually don't read the whole rockstar genre , but I'm a fan of this authors other novels. So I gave this a try and I wasn't disappointed. Laura gets her first gig as a promoter for roadkill upon meeting lead singer she I blown away as ow handome he is and is trances by his ice blue eyes. There I one problem she hates rockstars. As these two are thrown together Laura learns to loosen up takes some risk. Dax falls for Laura instantly and decide she is his. As the band giys one hard times she always bet them on track. Great novel I enjoyed and know you will too.

loved this book. It kept me entertained through out. Couldn't put down. Marina Maddix needs to write the stories for Jake, Frank and savor. Please write more for these guys. This book is about a girl named Lauren whose new boss wants her to keep drax in line. First with book signing than the concert. When she looks into his Crystal blue eyes she's a goner. Drax is the same. When carp hits the fan Lauren aka Lola gets it done. Need to read.

Rockin'
Soooo love this book! Hilarious with the the perfect amount of rock and romance. Would love a follow up with the rest of the band and Pepper and lots more Popì. -
Good read
This was pretty good. Fast storyline, hot sex scenes, awesome supporting characters and a little twist.
Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis -
Rocker girl
Love a story where sexy rocker falls for the doubtful girl and he’s not afraid to do something about it! -
Immature behaviour by both characters and lacking strong development.
Just couldn’t get invested in this story. -
Great book, real good fun to read it- lots of action happening, the characters are all thoroughly planned and show quite a lot of development in the course of the story. The style is refreshing, excellent variability of words, lots of fun new creations, lots of unusual words, no typos, no grammatical errors that I noticed- so pleasurable reading throughout. I´m not going to rehash the content, because the blurb says it already.

Review from HotRomanceReviews.wordpress
The novel, So I Married A Rockstar by Marina Maddix, it was one of the best rockstar books I have read in awhile. Who wouldn’t want to read about a bad boy rockstar? I love bad boy romance novels, yes even short novellas, but rockstars too? Woo hoo bring it on!
Lauren, or Lola, has two dads who own a record store, and she is promoting a signing with Roadkill heavy metal bands lead singer, Drax. Their first meeting is explosive. He is late, and her career is on the line. They get a little hot and heavy in the back room after the signing. Somehow she becomes their manager, when their manager quits, blackballs them, and she gets fired from her job. This just continue to get crazy.
I Married A Rockstar- Marina Maddix
@ Amazon
Drax is every inch the bad boy metal rocker. Dirty mouth, tattoos, and sexy body. Mhmmm…. There’s trouble, mystery, and so much bad boy drama. Enjoy the humor, problems, and some very sexy rockstars.
This was my first book by Ms. Maddix, and I will definitely be reading more by her. This novel was love or I should say lust at first sight, and it was explosive! Normally I’m not the type to like girls who swoon over a guy like Lauren did or become speechless, but man I had to give Ms. Maddix props for making Lauren tough, and driven but soft as well.
One thing I did not like about the book was it was too short, and I really hope there is a second book! I enjoyed that Lauren and Drax had some sweet moments, and some down a dirty ones as well! I would tell people to buy this book and just read it! I read it in one day, and did not want to stop!
Would give this sizzling hot! 4 out of 5 stars!
Would definitely recommend to anyone 18+ because of its dirty language and dirty sex! -
This is such a great read. The MC have an electric energy between them as they fight each other and outer forces at work against them. Lola and Drax are so opposite yet they do make the saying” Opposites Attract” come alive.
Poor Lauren aka Lola was working part time for her fathers and also working PR for Drax and his bandmates for his tour. These two clash like oil and water…yet something sparkles and simmers Along the way of their journey with each other, there is their drunken night in Vegas which carries the book with many twists ant turns and ends in a delightful and delicious HEA. The MC are great in that they are fantastic mix of a strong yet wily Alpha and an independent minx . What a job story and I really enjoyed the supporting cast of characters as well . Also there is a bit of danger –the twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. I had a lot of fun being kept on the edge of my seat and the MC passions for each other was intense which definitely was HOT and steamy to read. Definitely a Great read!!
***A gifted copy was provided by the author for my honest review****
My rating: 4.5 stars **** -
Miracles or just magic?
Lauren is just starting in her career as a promoter in the music business. Her first assignment is to promote Roadkill and start with a signing for the fans with Drax. He's late, she gets frustrated at him. There's an instant attraction, and yet their lifestyles are worlds apart. This story has many twists in it, and a few scenes where you wonder about timing being just right or is Lauren really a magician to accomplish what she does. Lauren, 'Lola', can be very indecisive and really needs to get outside of her head to pull her life together, and when she does everything falls into place for an exceptional happily ever after ending! -
Kitschy
Ok I am so full of fluff I resemble a marshmallow. Not only that but the sweetness in the end really left my stomach hurting. The heroine is looking for love (she says) and the hero needed her from the go. All they both got was a relationship with no communication what so ever. I felt like throwing my kindle due to the frustration the heroine gave me throughout the entire story. Overall I am unsatisfied and kind of grumpy because of my time being wasted. Although the only saving grace is the fact the author made addictions very prominently throughout the story. -
Drax and Lola are hot
Drax and Lola meet for the first time when he does a signing at her fathers record shop. He signed a picture of himself and asked Lola to marry her. She doesn't believe what he wrote. Drax doesn't show up for the gig and their manager drops them and black balls them for all their other gigs. She becomes their manager and the first night one of the band members gambles away a lot of money and the loan shark wants it back. They pay it back. Drax and Lola have their ups and downs through it all.
I just couldn't put this book down. -
It seemed to have a good start but soon fell apart into a repetitive pattern of jerky development and shaky plot. I think the dads were great. I think if Lauren and Drax could of switched up POV maybe we could of connected more with where his feelings were at. I couldn't connect him with Lauren because I thought he was just a rock star with man whore tendencies. I think it would soften our feelings with him as a character.
IDK, IMHO. Cover was hot!!! Pepper was under utilized. Maybe book was underwritten??? I wanted it to be a five!!! -
Rockstar romances are my go-to genre so I immediately grabbed So I Married A Rockstar. I wasn't disappointed! Drax is a gorgeous, sexy alpha rockstar and Lauren (aka Lola) is an inexperienced promoter who can't stop the immediate attraction she feels the moment her eyes meet Drax's. These two have immediate chemistry even though they are polar opposites and they have to deal with many ups and downs on their way to a HEA ending. The supporting characters were entertaining and fun and their dialogue added nice humor to the story. Loved the cover---it is what first caught my eye!

ARC Review
The best part of a Marina Maddix book is the comedic value. I love that she can make me laugh. The MCs seems to stumble from one disaster to another, non stop crisis without making it seemed overblown or too far out there. I am kinda hoping to read more in the future regarding the rest of the band. I love that they bring out the "hidden" sides of each others personalities. It makes what they share special and heartwarming as well as cute and funny. -
So this wasn't my first book that I have read from Marina Maddix, but I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed it more then any other. Although I am not a "insta love" kind of believer, if an author is able to en corporate an actual story and humor that flow as well as this did.. I'm sold! I'm only sorry there wasn't more to read about Drax and Lola, and how I'd love to see more about the other members of the bend. ***hint hint**** :) Can't wait to see what Marina's writing next!

Marina Maddix is in the top 5 of my favorite authors and most of them are authors of the paranormal genre. I love her writing! I actually loved this book even tho it is not paranormal. But, romance is the same world round and it is certainly in this book! I am certain if you love romance you will love this as I did! Seriously, I would give this book by Ms. Maddix more than 5 stars if I could. I have to tell you I fell in love with Drax!
