Truth of Tristan Lyons (Legendary Rock Stars Book 4) by LB Dunbar
My overall star rating
--- 5
About the book:
Heartbreaker.
I understand why I
have the nickname. Hey, what can I say? I like women. All women. It doesn’t
matter what shape, size, or color. I’m even into sharing. I’ve done it all,
seen it all, but I’m at an all-time low. Who wouldn’t be? My best friend is
missing. My uncle’s an asshole. I don’t know who I am without The Nights. We
are a band of brothers, soldiering through the world with our music. Only, our
faithful leader is gone, and everyone else in the band is falling for the
oldest trap: love. Love is a lie. It is painful. It is hurtful.
I need a break. I want
to be alone. I'm not prepared to share the exclusive home on the Island. I'm
not prepared for her. I don’t know who she is or why she's here. She tells me
to call her Ireland. I tell her my first name only. Originally, I don’t want to
believe she doesn’t recognize me. Bass guitarist for The Nights, come on? After
a while we both play the game. Secrets are another form of lies, aren't they?
Our fantasy will crash
to reality too soon. Secrets catch up to you. The truth has to be told. It
confirms what I already know: love is a lie.
Until her.

The review --
This is the first book
I’ve read by this author, and I’m happy to say, I’ll definitely be checking out
her other books. This one is fantastic! Tristan Lyons is a guitarist for the
band The Nights. Tristan has always been a bit of a manwhore and is known for
breaking hearts. When one of his bandmates is in an accident and disappears,
Tristan decides to take a break from the real world by borrowing a friend's
vacation home in the Cayman Islands. He’s anticipating being alone and getting
some songs written, what he’s not anticipating is running into the gorgeous
Ireland. Ireland is running way from a life that hasn’t been her own since she
was promised to wed a family friend by her evil uncle when she was just a
child. Her mother forces her to focus all her time and energy on being a
swimsuit model, and when life becomes too much, she deices to run away to her
uncle's home in the Caymans. At first, Tristan is not happy about having to
share his space with Ireland; but when the attraction becomes too much to
resist, he becomes more amicable.
I really enjoyed the
progression of this story, I couldn’t put it down once I’d started reading. The
characters were well developed and it had an original plotline. The only thing
I think could have used improvement was that every time they went out together,
they were snorkeling. I would have liked to see a little bit more originality
with the dates. Besides that, I think it was a fantastic read and I highly
recommend it!
