Revel Kindle Edition

My review is about as complex as this book. Sure on the surface it's bad boy rocker and pop princess, anyone that reads rock romances has read this before, except this version, I haven't. There were many things that I didn't like, for one, the first 30% of the book was like getting stuck in quicksand. Revel our bad boy and Taylan the Pop Princess literally narrate their story, they are "talking" to you and even at times asking your opinion but once you wade through all that they are trying to prepare you for what's down the road. I admit to being annoyed with Revel, he tries very very hard to convince you about how f'd up bad he is, but there's little substance to back it up. At First. Here is where I thought Ms Stahl was almost trying too hard to label Revel and his band Revved the badasses of them all, but when actions finally took over is when you saw it. My other pet peeve was continuity. The story takes place mostly with a tour of the US but some of the places didn't match up to what you were being told. Now I get this book is 50,000 + words but little things like that had me rereading some chapters. So why 5 Stars?Well because there is a really good story here. The chemistry between Revel and Taylan jumps off the pages, all of it - the ugly, the bad, the hot and yes the love. Revel's pain is so real that you do see beneath all the BS. Taylan is not a simpering victim (thank god) she can and does hold her own. She too is very believable and a Pop Star that doesn't have me rolling my eyes is a wonderful thing.Some of Revel's behaviour may piss off some readers but that's a plus for me, it keeps him real throughout the book. What really cinched the 5 Stars for me was towards the end about the last quarter, the Hinder song Better Than Me came through my mind while I was reading - Loud and clear. And that my friends convinced me that this book deserved 5 Stars - even with all my issues.1 like

Starting this with a quote from the book which is unconventional for myself but seems fitting with this book...."I was broken from the beginning. And I should leave you alone, but we both know I won't." It seems fitting because this is what the relationship with Revel and Taylan (Red) (Princess) is all about it seems.I liked the way the author wrote this story in parts she's interacting with the actual reader and the characters are actually speaking to us. I liked it even though you are like "what??" how are we supposed to know that her assistant looks beautiful in that dress and then the author or character goes on to tell us what that person is wearing lol....a bit unconventional but please tell me more.This book had everything I want from a RockStar genre read that's for sure. I mean we got the badboy lead singer of the top Rock Band "Revved" going after the Pop Princesss. It's rock-n-roll, drugs, hot AF sex scenes, alcohol abuse, innocence, misunderstood, and the understood all in one.Loved the songs that were explained and the lyrics that went with it....we had some jealous ex-boyfriend, and ex-girlfriend and a POS father to deal with too.We as readers that love the RockStar genre books know that you can only read so many Rocker books and some start to read like the others but this one wasn't the case it was unique in it's own way. I mean Revel is constantly trying to push "Red" away...."Don't bite the apple, Red." but then in a next breath he's saying the words..."Your heart makes my favorite sound." I mean really myself as a heroine or character would be totally confused right?? I think poor Taylan is confused for most of the book, but it's done so brilliantly.One last quote for this amazing read and here's the kicker of all quotes in this book and that it sums it all up so here goes...."You're in my blood. Every pulse and heartbeat is for you, Red."Oh and I forgot to mention this amazing cover for this book it's what drew me in to begin with, then the blurb (synopsis), the actual story was the clincher and it was so good.I'm leaving one more word that made this book so worth while to read and that word is "Navy" hmmmm....I bet your confused. Well read the book lol!I highly recommend this book!Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis

Shey Stahl's newest book takes you on a whirlwind ride as Revel and Taylan venture out on a tour together that neither want to be on. Known for their animosity towards each other, the sparks fly before the tour even starts! Revel just can't help himself, he really has no filter. And Taylan just gives it right back to him. She is so sweetly innocent, but don't let that fool you. She can hold her own!Revel sucked me in from the very beginning and I could not put it down. I felt like I was right there with the characters the whole way through. Such heart and emotion in this book. Bravo Shey!!

This was my first book by they author and it definitely didn’t disappoint! You couldn’t really tell if they were going to get their happy ending or not lol! I mean you loved and didn’t understand Revel. But you couldn’t deny his love/obsession for Taylan. Revel was an alcoholic and didn’t realize how messed up he was until he was unsure if Taylan would leave him from how badly he overreacted to a situation. Taylan was a sweetheart who was molded into a sugary sweet pop princess image that didn’t fit her at all. Revel helped set her on the right path to becoming who she really was and to forget about what everyone else thinks. Their chemistry was amazing. This was a really good rockstar romance and I definitely recommend it!

When i started reading this I really didn't like Revel the mean and crude things he said to Taylan turned me totally off him. as the story grew and the pair really got to know each other and fell in love I changed my opinion of him for the better. a very well written and enjoyable story. loved the cover model by the way I could just picture him as Revel while I was reading it.

I have always loved Sheys books & didn't hesitate to download this one as I knew it wouldn't disappoint .......... I was rightI couldn't put it down ,this is my perfect kind of book , brilliant story brilliant characters, I was gripped from start to finish

Amazing book, I was griped from the first page right to the very last. Amazing characters who felt so real. I loved this book

Love this book from start to finish, couldn't put it down,Didn't want it to end. Can't wait for the next Shey book

Shey Stahl this book is on a whole new level, the story line and characters sucked me in with an intensity I just can't explain. I have no words other than, now that I have finished the book I want to turn back to back to page#1 and experience this all over again!!!! As I sit back and revel in everything that is the beautiful broken monster Revel Slade, all I can say is I hope this monster visits me in my dreams and maybe even my nightmares! 5 phenomenal stars, loved it!! Now back to page#1 I go.
