The Road to Rocktoberfest is back with all new rockstar drama and Gabbi Grey gives us another peek at Grindstone with Grindstone's Edge.
From the blurb:
Axel
Last year, my band, Grindstone, hit the stage at Rocktoberfest, our big break at last. But in the middle of that triumph, my love life crashed into disaster. I’ve been in love with Hugo Threadgold for years, but he was once my high school music teacher, so I figured he was off-limits. Then, in Black Rock, I discovered he was aware of me too, and for a moment I thought I'd get it all. I came clean about my feelings, but my heart cracked when Hugo turned and walked away. I'm not giving up, though. I'm ready to lose my straight-guy image for him, if only I can make him believe in us.
Hugo
Ten years ago, Axel and his best friend, Ed, were my most promising students. I taught them everything I could about music, and watched them struggle to become the musicians they are today. But boys become men, and last October in Nevada, Axel told me he'd developed romantic feelings for me. I was rattled. I'd never let myself look at him that way. Now that he's put the idea in my head, I can't get him out of my mind. The man he's become is someone strong and talented, determined and attractive. Someone I could fall for. But isn't it my duty to keep things professional and walk away from the man who tempts me as no one else ever has?
Grindstone's Edge is a book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see what antics our bands get into next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for. Kick back, load up your kindle and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest.
Heather's Review:
I'm so glad that Axel is getting his HEA this year! After reading Axe to Grind, I was hoping we'd get his story! This is a love story more than 10 years in the making and a chance for Axel to finally get his high school crush - his former teacher!
There's no third act crisis - that's pretty much upfront, so once they navigate that, you see the relationship strengthening and you get glimpses at how their life will continue after the book. I do wish we'd had some more in depth exploration of their history and some of the overarching issues, but you do get the warm, happy feels as you watch these two finally come together.
I do recommend reading Axe to Grind first (only because I love it), but you can easily read this book as a standalone if you want to.
Grindstone's Edge is currently available as an e-book and paperback and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
