Real Ugly (Hard Rock Roots #1) by C.M. Stunich

This is not a story for the faint of heart.  Its not for someone looking for a happy love story either.  Its intense, emotional and fast paced.  In the end I wanted to scream and I can not wait for the next book to come out (Get Bent, due out 7/4/13).  This is far from what I've come to expect from a rock star romance but I loved it!  Days later my head is still reeling with thoughts of whats to come next.

Naomi has lived a hard life as a foster kid.  She has had some really bad things happen to her, and has done a few herself.  She uses her music as an escape and is now on tour with her band, and a few others.  She has a history with the lead singer in the headlining band, Turner, that only she remembers.

Turner is a self centered pompous rock god.  He wants to  live hard and die young.  Something about Naomi seems familiar to him, but he can't figure it out.  Turner makes it his goal to figure out Naomi and all of her secretes, even the ones that don't involve him.

I might be tempted to complain about the big cliff hanger at the end of this.  But since C.M. Stunich was nice enough to add an apology letter to her book and release book 2 only a few short weeks after book 1, all is forgiven!
