See all formats and editions

Cooper Ryan is living the dream. Between the parties with rock royalty, booze, groupies and performing to crowds of thousands with his band Taint, life seems pretty sweet. There’s just one thing missing: the feisty little red-head that took his baby and ran off with his heart. Throwing himself into music is the only thing keeping him sane.

Until a run-in with a nonplussed, package-wielding PA throws everything off balance.

Ali Jones is having a craptastic life. Her grandmother died, leaving her homeless, penniless, and alone, and her boyfriend left her for a tramp who takes her clothes off for money. That’s why when she lands her dream job at a record company it seems like it’s too good to be true.

Because it is.

Slapped with an ultimatum, Ali must decide if facing the horror of the unemployment line is a fate worse than going on the road with four rowdy rockers hell-bent on making her life misery.

He’s adored by millions.
She’s not even loved by her cat.

Can they ignore their hatred long enough to survive the tour from hell? Or will their chemistry force everything to come crashing down around them?

I'd rate this higher than 5 stars if possible!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2015

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to see what Ms. Jenner goes with the rest of the series. The story-line is solid and very well constructed and the characters are are strong, full of fun and very relatable. There is so much about this book that I loved! It took only about 5 pages for me to get completely sucked into this story. Yes, there are some serious and valuable parts of this story but the humor and the smoking hot sex scenes in this book are over the top. WARNING: This is NOT a book that should be read in a public place! You must read it where you can laugh out loud and/or fan yourself without drawing unwanted attention to yourself! And when I say laugh, I don't mean just a little chuckle here and there. I mean an all out full laugh or uncontrollable giggling. So much so that I had tears running down my face at times. And the sex....WOW. Alot of it and some very descriptive, daring and panty-wetting sex sessions! And then there was the seriousness that also comes with this story. I don't want to tell you what happens or what the story is about other than it's about a rock band called Taint(and that alone makes me giggle!). The serious part of the book, the love, the hurt, and all the other facts of life that are all a part of everyday, they are in there too. Even though the life of a rock star is completely something unfamiliar to me, Ms. Jenner shows us a side of these "superstars" that everyday people and fans forget about. The are just people too. They hurt, the cry, they love, they fuck-up and they bleed just like the rest of us. But they are not really allowed to show that because the minute that they do something that shows they are human just like the rest of us, the media has it plaster all over the place and their lives are completely picked apart and there is not a time that they can do about it. So they are left trying to please their fans, meet the demands of their careers and then try to live their own lives. All under a microscope called the paparazzi. They learn the hard way that there isn't anything that people won't do for money. I can't wait for the next book, so get that creative mind churning Ms. Jenner!

Sexy story - I had a love hate relationship with this one but worth the read.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am kind of torn about this book. I love anything Carmen writes truly I do but this one I was sort of on the fence between loving it and hating it. Cooper Ryan is a rock star with a broken heart, his girl leaves him taking his child to be with another man. This all happened in the Sugartown series which you do not have to read to appreciate the Taint series.
So Cooper meets Ali Jones and decides she has to work for his band. She works for the record company and he insists she work on the new Taint tour. Since Ali is homeless and penniless at the moment so she begrudgingly takes the job touring with the hot rockers. At first Cooper is drawn to her because she reminds him of his ex but he won't admit it. When Cooper starts to get to know the real Ali they develop the beginnings of a flirtation.
Half way into the book their budding romance takes a turn for the not so good. Cooper says his ex's name while drunk and passionately kissing Ali which hurts her and makes her run into the arms of his band mate Levi. I really loved Levi actually loved him more than Cooper but NOT for Ali. From here on the three become a threesome which Levi seems to be all for, Ali is conflicted about it and Cooper hates the relationship but does it because he loves Ali and thinks that's what she wants.
There is a ton of miscommunication between the threesome which leads to lots of hurt feelings and some spitefulness. There is lots of steamy menage sex which was very erotic and well written as I would expect from Carmen Jenner. In the end there is an HEA for two of them but one is left out I won't say which one. I loved the story just certain aspects of the direction I wasn't crazy about. I am looking forward to the next book and can't wait to read more about the other characters I am truly intrigued by where the author will go with their stories.

All good things come in threes...

Oh man where do I even try to begin to explain this book because oh my lawd it was pure hotness on a freaking stick! Carmen Jenner has this uncanny ability to make her characters likable and you can’t help but to fall in love with them. Its official I’m a Taint Groupie and proud of it. I love all those boys le sigh.

Before I begin, two words: Love Triangle. And I've read love triangle stories before but this one will tug at your heart strings a bit and just like the heroine you’ll fall head over heels for both men.

Cooper Ryan is introduced in the Sugar Town series. He’s Holly’s ex; the one who left his girl behind to pursue his dream of being a rock star and in the process he loses his girl and child to a man from his woman’s past. From that moment on Coop becomes jaded and heart broken. He doesn't know how he’ll make it through until the moment he meets Ali Jones. And in that instant he knows he has to have her, so he makes her a part of his contract demands. He wants her as the band’s PA no matter the cost. Let’s just say things get a whole lot interesting.

As always Carmen knows how to make her heroines sassy, witty, feisty, and funny as all hell. She did not disappoint with Ali. Her dialogue always had me laughing out loud. She may hate Coop’s guts but she can’t help being attracted to his smirk and his arrogant swag. Seriously, I don’t blame her at all. Coop is one beautiful sexy man who’s vulnerable and sweet yet a total alpha.

Holy banter and sexual tension. Ugh the threesome is what makes this book bloody worth it because ladies not only is Coop hot but there’s also Levi, Zed, and Ash. Yummy. I love them all!!!

So let’s take a moment to appreciate Levi Quinn. He’s got a heart of gold and a massive c**k. He’s also vulnerable and he protects himself by being the womanizer and the jokester. Like Coop, he’s attracted to Ali and ultimately it comes down to who does Ali stay with at the end?

This book will give you everything; angst, sexy time, humor, and hot rock stars. I salute you Carmen, and I anxiously await the arrival of more Taint!!!

Hot Rocker Romance !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is my first Carmen Jenner book so I didn't know what to except. I read the blurb so I was expected the normal run of the mill bad boy rockers on tour story - no this book is so much more then that. These rockers bend all the
rules even those that include their new PA Ali. This book is so hot I was worried my kindle would burn up !!!
There's a mix of hot rockers - Cooper and Levi are so bad and so hot ! A woman who has her sexual horizons widen - Ali. Some real proper laugh out loud moments that had me crying with laughter, I'll say two words - circle jerk !
And some tender moments that had my heart torn in two. This is my first Carmen Jenner book but I know for a fact it won't be my last !

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Carmen Jenner's books and absolutely love her Sugartown Series...... This is another fantastic book ...... I love the fact that Jenner brings in her characters and places from her other books.... this book is about Cooper Ryan who is rock royalty and as sexy as all hell...... (he's also the father of Pepper who features in Jenner's previous book Now Leaving Sugartown)....... We follow the story of rock band Taint on their tour...... We meet Ali Jones who's life has turned to S***...... her grandmother dies... she ends up living in her car... and about to get sacked from her job when Cooper decides she should be the new PA for the Band and go on tour with them.... a love / hate relationship develops between Cooper and Ali..... how will they cope being thrown together????? Will they survive???? What will happen??????? This is another fantastic novel by Carmen Jenner and one that I highly recommend.... it would definitely be in my top 5 reads for this year so far........
I was given an ARC to read by the author for an honest review... that didn't affect my thought's or views on this book.....

I have read Carmen Jenner a few times now (The Sugartown series) and this author likes to squeeze in a little drama with her love stories!!!! It makes for an interesting ride! haha And some tears! And some cringing! And some smiles!

All in all I enjoyed this story. Mostly because of Coop!!! I have a crush on him! He is sexy, vulnerable and .. did I mention sexy? YEA!!! The rest of the players in this story were fun side kicks :)

I am looking forward to reading more about this band, Taint!!!!

Hot, sexy menage!

Hot, full-on sexy menage!

Never read this author before.

I really liked Cooper, however, I've got to agree with another reviewer and say that I really didn't like Ali and I struggled to empathise with her. I initially felt sorry about her situation but then, as the story unfolded, she got herself into a God-awful mess with Cooper and Levi – she made her bed and had to lie in it – no truer words!! At first, she came across as ballsy and tough, but when it came down to brass tacks, she was weak, naïve, and really needed to get a clue. She really wanted to have her cake and eat it…and, in the end, probably bit off more than she could chew! I almost feel that she didn’t deserve Coop. He might have been bossy and manipulative, but his heart was in the right place. He might have desired her and wanted her to be with him, but he was also looking out for her and keeping her off the streets. He was carrying a past hurt and trying to move on, and Ali was the one to heal him.

The band were real blokes and lads-about-town. Deb was a tough cookie but there was something honest about her. Zed might be a druggie but he was a massive softie. I hope something is brewing between them.

I’d like to read the other books in this series. Even though I disliked the heroine in this story, it was well-written and laugh-out-loud in places. For an author to evoke strong feelings in a reader, whether they are positive or negative….well, that’s a good thing in my book!
