Blog Tour: Rock the Band by Michelle A. Valentine

Have you ever wondered what the author saw when they're writing a book? I have. I've always wondered where they got the inspiration from...how the scene formed. Of course we conjure a portion of our own image up in our mind, but if we're given a descriptive scene, it makes it much each to paint. Here is what Michelle A. Valentine imagined when she was writing my lover, Noel Falcon's house. 

Noel wanted a house similar to the one back home in Texas on Cedar Creek Lake. A secluded place where no one could bother him. He wanted it peaceful and serene. There isn't another home, except for trees and woods as far as the eye can see. I have to say, I think I would love something like this myself. 

Today we have Noel giving us a personal look into his home. A walk through tour of his place, MTV Cribs Style!!

 Hey, guys. What’s up? Welcome to my humble abode.

First stop is my living room. I just like that warm country feel since this is a cabin and all. I keep it just earthy, you know. I did all the decorating myself, and just tried to make it as non-rockstarish as possible since when I’m here I just want to forget about all that stuff for a while.

This, as they say, it where some of the magic takes place. If you’ve read Michelle A. Valentine’s books about me you know I like to get a little crazy outside the bedroom as well. *Laughs*

This is my kitchen. I do a lot of cooking in here. I like to catch fresh fish down at the lake and bring it back here and prepare it. There’s nothing like fresh, catch your own, meals. *walks over to the island and smirks* And here is where baby Falcon was conceived in Rock the Band. Sorry, future son or daughter. You probably didn’t want a mental picture of me banging your mom here, but I couldn’t help it. Have you seen your mother? 

 Alright, time to head outside.

My most favorite place on the property—the dock. Docks like this have a special place in my heart. My lady and I sit out here a ton. I even proposed on a dock very similar to this. I gave the camera crew a picture of the dock the night I popped the question to my angel, Lane. Hopefully they can show that to you guys.

Last, but not least, my car. I love this thing. Spent many nights in it as a struggling musician. After I signed my first record deal, I gave her a face lift. Isn’t she beautiful.

 

Okay, guys. You’ve seen my house, my docks, and my cars. Thanks for dropping by and checking out my place, but now you’ve got to go. I’ll tell Lane you said hi!

Review: Rock the Heart by Michelle Valentine

"This next song goes out to the girl who shredded my heart without hesitation back in high school. It's called Ball Busting Bitch, and Lanie, this ones for you."

Those two lines are what sold me. I was madly in love after that.

Rock the Heart totally rocked MY heart.

Cheesy, I know. But for real, I lurrrrvvvved this book! A few chapters in, I found out this was a rekindled/reunited love theme and you know how I feel about that.

After Lanie and Noel separated, it hasn't been easy on either of them. They've both moved on as much as they could but there's a feeling inside them that won't go away. It wasn't an easy break-up by any means. They were their first love, first everything, but when they split they took a piece of each others' hearts. Now It's been four years and Lanie doesn't want to mix business with pleasure. But how long can she could only hold out against Noel's soulful voice and his trained fingers?

Noel is perplexed when he spots Lanie during one of his concerts. He's never gotten over how she left him that night long ago. She didn't have any faith in him then when he told her about his dreams, but here she is. Noel is bitter when it comes to her, yet he cannot fight his attraction one bit and he makes it very clear what his motives are towards Lanie.

Lanie desperately wants to prove she has what it takes to work it in the Marketing field at her new internship. It's her dream job, where her heart is at. She'll take any job her boss offers her, that is, until they tell her she's going to be touring with the band Black Falcon. No way does she want to do this. It's way too personal for her but she wants this job, so she'll do what she needs to. Now that she's in such close proximity with Noel, she finds herself in predicaments she says she doesn't want to be in, but her body screams otherwise.

Things seem to be going as smooth as they can, but a bomb is dropped on Lanie and she wants out. To make matters worse, Lanie finds herself in a bind- she is legally bound to Noel by contract by her employer and by Black Falcon. Now she's stuck with sexy Noel everywhere she looks when she can't stand to look at him after what he did.

A declaration of my love for this book and author is needed right now.

I do.
I really do.

I don't even know where I begin! Rock the Heart surprised me, yet I had a feeling it was one of those books I just knew I was going to like. I was hooked pretty early on with the easy flow of writing and the fun banter between the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the beginning until the last page, where I didn't wanted it to end! The way Noel and Lanie found their way back to each other and the obstacles they were faced with was enough for me, but the side stories with all the band mates and friends made it that much better!

Noel was never able to let go of Lanie, and he made it very clear early on. I loved that. He wasn't afraid to be in her face with his feelings. Though at first, I thought it was all an act. I thought he was just being spiteful because she hurt him all those years ago. Oh, but did he tease her and lead her on....it was hot!

I loved that! Noel's feelings are genuine, but he isn't just about the band. He has problems with his father and his best band mate, Riff. I felt so bad to see Noel struggle in those relationships.

Being on tour was a difficult challenge for Lanie. Noel was the guy that got away but she couldn't allow herself to cave into him. Their chemistry was hot from the start! Gahhh!!! I loved this book!

I had so much fun getting to know the band members of Black Falcon. Each one of the brought something different and fun to the table with their personalities. The twins are a very charismatic duo, easy and fun to be around. Riff...that man thought he was God's gift to woman! Ugh! He drove me nuts in the beginning. But as the story progressed, I saw a different side of him and I realized it was all a facade. I reallllly liked him and I hope the author does a story for him.

To Emily Snow-
Don't worry, as much as I came to love Riff, Noel is the one for me. :)

Giveaway with Rock the Heart Blog Tour!

Hey Noel and Lanie, welcome to My Secret Romance! I'm so excited to have you here after reading your story and loving it! Michelle has decided to allow me to interview both of you! How sweet of her. So, what you can tell me about each other that we wouldn't know?
Noel: *Looks at Lane and waggles his eyebrows*
Lane: Don’t you dare tell them anything private.
Noel: *Laughs* I think they pretty much know every intimate detail about us. They’ve practically already seen our sex tape.
Lane: *Shakes head*
Noel: *Pats Lane’s leg* Relax, babe. I was only going to tell them that I love you now more than ever.
Lane: *Smiles and places her hand on top of Noel’s*

Why should people read Rock the Heart? Give it to me Twitter style- 160 characters or less.
Noel: *Grins* I can be shorter than that. Lane’s hot naked.
Lane: *Elbows Noel in ribs* It’s a sweet love story.

Noel, can you give us a dirty secret about your band mates? Please! I won't tell them.
Noel: Tyke and Trip don’t share very well. They fight over things as small as the last slice of pizza to who called dibs on what chick first. They are ridiculous at times.

Tell us about your tattoos, Noel. Any personal ones?
Noel: The one on my back, the cross, is for faith. I believe you have to have it in all aspects of the unknown. The star on my shoulder I got when I signed my first record deal. It was my lame attempt to remind me someday I’d be a star and prove everybody wrong about me. Those are the two that mean the most to me. As far as personal ones…I plan on getting a very personal one soon.
Lanie, what you do think of when you see Noel without a shirt covered in tats?
Lane: I think he looks pretty amazing.
Noel: *Smiles* She loves me for my abs.

Ever have the urge to take your tongue and trace them?
Lane: *Rubs her neck and looks at Noel. A slight blush on her cheeks* I can’t answer that.
Noel: Why not? It’s a simple question.
Lane: One you want to know the answer too, no doubt.
Noel: Hell yeah, I want to know. If you ever feel the urge to lick anything on my body, you know I WILL make that happen for you.
Lane: *Bites lip* Yeah, Taryn. I do get that sometimes.
Noel: *Readjusts in his seat* Damn! How much longer do we have to be here?

Noel, do you ever plan on reconciling with your father? I would think with Lanie's father gone that it would make more of an impact on your relationship with him. Or is it that far gone that you can't ever see it being cordial again?
Noel: *Shrugs* I’m not making the first move there. He needs to come to me. Sounds cold, I know, but I’m not giving in on that.
Lane: *Pats Noel’s hand* He’ll come around one day.

Noel, if Lanie came with a warning label, what would it say? Lanie, what about Noel?
Noel: Caution: Hot *winks at Lane*
Lane: *giggles* You’re an idiot. Um, I would say for Noel, Warning: Volatile Contents.
Noel: *Raises an eyebrow* Volatile contents? What’s that suppose to mean?
Lane: How quickly are you always ready to fight?
Noel: *Relaxes in chair a little* Touché.

Lanie, is it rough with Noel being on the road so much with his band and the herds of women going after him?
Lane: I haven’t really had to deal with that yet. I’m still on the bus with him at the moment. I’m sure it’ll be tough, but we’ll make it.
Noel: Who says you have to leave?
Lane: Don’t start that again.
Noel: Okay, okay. You’re right.

Noel, what is it about Lanie that turns you on? Why Lanie? I know while reading Rock the Heart, Lanie just could not fathom how you could want someone like her. Tell us what you see in her.
Noel: Have you seen this girl? She seriously hot. She’s funny, and she can kick a little ass, which is so damn sexy.
Lane: That’s why you liked me?
Noel: *Nods* It all started with that fight over the Barbie in third grade. You weren’t afraid to stand up for yourself. I couldn’t help but be drawn to you.

Lighting Speed Section!
Soft and sensual or up against the wall?
Lane: Both with Noel are amazing. I can’t pick just one way.
Noel: Aw, babe. That’s what I was going to say. You totally stole my line.
Beach or Snow?
Noel: Beach
Lane: Beach. Cold weather sucks.
Noel: Ditto that!
Mixed drink or Wine?
Noel: Neither. I drink Beer. Mixed drinks make me puke like a mother.
Lane: I like mixed drinks, but beer is great too.

A remote cabin or a swanky suite?
Noel: A cabin
Lane: Really?
Noel: Absolutely, as long as it has a dock. I’m rather fond of those.
Lane: *smiles* Me too.
Books or Movies?
Noel: Movies. I have no patience to spend hours on a story.
Lane: *Rolls eyes* How unromantic of you. Books.
Favorite quote?
Noel: “Graze on my lips; and if those hills be dry, stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie. “—William Shakespeare
Lane: That’s deep. I didn’t know you took Shakespeare so seriously.
Noel: It was dirty. I was happy to be allowed to talk about sex in class and not get in trouble over it.

Favorite book?
Lane: Twilight
Noel: Are you fucking kidding me? You like those sparkling ass vampires?
Lane: Edward is sexy.
Noel: *Quirks eyebrow* I thought you said I was the sexiest man you’d ever seen.
Lane: You are the sexiest real man I’ve ever seen. Edward Cullen is a fictional character. Girls love to dream about hot, fictional men.
Noel: *Lips pull into a sexy grin* I’m ready to get you out of here and remind you just how hot real men are. You’ll say “Edward who” when I’m done with you.

Thanks so much for being here today guys!
