Lightning Strikes Series by Jodie Larson

I love women. And it's easy to see why. Being the lead guitarist for the country's hottest band, Lightning Strikes, has them practically jumping into my bed and walking out the door just as quick. Which is perfect for me. Emotions complicate things, and I don't do complicated. Not anymore. Sure, I was in love once, and it was great. Then it was gone. That's when I vowed never again. Life is better without empty, broken promises... moreI love women. And it's easy to see why. Being the lead guitarist for the country's hottest band, Lightning Strikes, has them practically jumping into my bed and walking out the door just as quick. Which is perfect for me. Emotions complicate things, and I don't do complicated. Not anymore. Sure, I was in love once, and it was great. Then it was gone. That's when I vowed never again. Life is better without empty, broken promises. After five years of hard work, sacrifices, and determination, everything I've ever wanted is in my grasp: a successful career, touring city after city and being accountable to no one. Then she starts appearing in the crowds. The girl I once loved, and who walked away. Only, Tatum Mitchell wasn't just any girl; she was my girl. Will she be the wedge that drives the last part of my heart away, or will she break down the walls I've built? We're connected through the lyrics of our heart and the notes of our past, but is that enough? less

A Lightning Strikes Standalone Downbeat |n|: The first beat in a measure, often the strongest. Fame, fortune, traveling to different cities across the country...I'm living the dream. As the drummer for the Lightning Strikes, it's my job to hook you in and keep you coming back for more. It's my craft, my calling, what I'm a master at.

It's my craft, my calling, what I'm a master at. Even with all that, I'm still just a normal guy who wants to eat at food trucks and lounge on the couch, playing video games until I can't see straight. Everything was perfect. At least I thought it was, until a blonde bombshell walked into my life and made me question everything I thought I knew. I want her. I need her. Only, she's afraid of the spotlight, afraid of what it'll do to her and the ones she loves. The wall around her heart is keeping me out, but I know before long I will break down her barriers. She needs to know that there is more to us than what she sees, that this chemistry between us is our downbeat to forever. All the guys in the band have their happily ever after. Maybe it's time for mine. This title can be read as a standalone. less
