Rock Star Romances & The Words by A. Jade

Rock star romances tend to feature one of my favorite (male) love interest types: angsty bad boys with anger problems, tragic backstories, big hearts and bigger dicks. Maybe it’s cliche and a little toxic, but a lot of my favorite romances are, honestly. I wouldn’t want to date any of these dudes in real life – that’s why it’s such a fantasy!

I recently read The Words by Ashley Jade – an enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance with a very MGK-coded rock star, which, if you know me at all, ticks all my boxes. I immediately devoured the sequel, The Choice, and am now hungrily awaiting the next book in this connected series. Ashley Jade really knows how to write some mean bad boys with hearts of gold (buried way, deep down, beneath several layers of trauma and self-loathing).

A few of my other favorite rock star romances:

One Kiss with a Rock Star by Amber Lin and Shari Slade. Rock star meets (bisexual) pop star and the results are fire in this fake relationship romance.

The Comedown by A. Marie. Pop star (and single mom) Collette is hired to join – and keep in line – infamous rapper and bad-boy Julian while on tour in this enemies-to-lovers romance.

Muses & Melodies by Rebecca Yarros. Zoe is hired to “babysit” Nixon Winters, a difficult rock star guitarist fresh out of rehab and still battling his demons while on tour.
