Beyond The Stix: Warrior Black book 2 (The Road to Rocktoberfest 2024) by CJ Barlowe


Continuing with this year's Road to Rocktoberfest, CJ Barlowe brings us another story from Warrior Black with Beyond the Stix.


From the blurb:

Shocking news comes to Connor Wild, the drummer for Warrior Black, while they are in the middle of recording their next album. But the loss of his father brings forth terrible memories Connor had along ago buried and leads him straight to the nightmare he wants to forget. Only saving grace is the bodyguard, who can make his body thrum, and helps him to forget the past.

Bodyguard, John Brand has been with Warrior Black since their rise to fame, after their appearance at last year’s Rocktoberfest in Black Rock, Nevada. His choice to stay as protection is solely for the drummer, who he can’t get out of his head. John wants more, but Connor refuses to see them no less than a hookup.

Can John beat away the dark demons from Connor’s past? Will Connor risk it all and expose the dark truth to John? Can Connor move on and give John a chance for love?

Connor would have to go Beyond the Stix to see how true love can heal old wounds.

Heather's Review:

CJ Barlowe brings an angsty, hurt/comfort style story that brings out all the emotions - with sadness, fear and longing taking up a lot of the book... this book slays demons and brings Connor the love he deserves, even if the road there is hard fought.

Please be aware of the trigger warnings - there are some heavy topics discussed and they don't let up, but it makes the HEA all the more hard fought and hard won.

I hope we see more of Warrior Black and more rock romance from CJ Barlowe in the future!
