My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

“Fame can’t heal a broken heart. Money won’t fill a body missing its soul.”

 

“it’s so easy for me to see…and has nothing to do with his looks. His love pours from him, his need for me almost dark around the bright center. We’re not just a onetime love affair or a relationship gone bad…We’re eternal.”

 

I have been reading S.L. Scott as quickly as possible to make up for missing out on her earlier work, but in the process, I never miss the newer books she’s releasing because the woman keeps hitting my weak spot – Rockstar Romance! Or at least she has with her last three books in the Crow Brothers series. Spark, Tulsa, and Rivers have owned me these last few months and I knew that I was going to fall hard and fast for the broody middle brother, Rivers… But Daymn! I don’t think anything could have prepared me for this story. Honestly, this book is hands down my favorite Crow Brothers book! He 😉 It was INCREDIBLE! Rivers is a second chance rockstar romance and I couldn’t have loved it more!

There’s a ton of reasons to love a book that S.L. Scott writes. Her stories are always well written, and I swear she is able to pace them perfectly! I can’t think of a one that is rushed or too slow, causing my attention to start drifting. I also have an impossible time putting them down once I start reading… I have gotten in the habit of starting her books earlier in the day or I will not sleep at all just to read from start to finish! She’s gifted enough to write unique plots that appeal to me as both a reader and as woman – and those two are not always the same thing! I love a hot book, but not all romances seem romantic. Some are just smut. S.L. Scott doesn’t write just sex. Her books have a plot that will keep your mind turning even with her heroes cause your panties to melt!
Her plots are layered, and I have yet to feel like they’re predictable. Also, I love the romance that exists between the hero and heroine – they develop a relationship much like one would in real life. Rivers is all of these things and its been such a pleasure to get my hands on an early copy to read it! I love the way S.L. Scott writes romance and I swear the woman has as many original stories inside her brain as Nora Roberts or Sandra Brown – so far, no two books by her have sounded anything alike and I love it!! Keep it up S.L. Scott!

Extremely important to note, S.L. Scott writes characters that I get totally wrapped up in! Every. Single. Time! It helps that so far everything I have read by her is in Duel POV – which happens to be my personal favorite – because we really get to know her characters. It’s possible to enjoy books that are only told from one characters perspective, absolutely, but there is just something about getting inside both their heads to tease out emotions that brings you closer to the characters you’re reading about! Now, I am not going to lie, I have a few hundred book boyfriends at this point… I would love to find an avid reader who doesn’t! But Rivers? Yah, Rivers most certainly took over as the hands down favorite Crow in my book… his love for Stella was so intense and deep. Five years apart and he still came back for her because living without her was no longer an option. It really shouldn’t have been one ever, but as kids, we all make mistakes and that’s what this book teaches this pair. You can’t live in the past. Whereas Jet and Tulsa Crow are a little more down with the rockstar lifestyle, Rivers broody personality has him stuck on the one woman he’s ever loved – his Stella Lilith, his soulmate. I loved that he called her by her full name 90% of the time. And Stella? Wow, her story broke. My. Heart! Seriously, I straight up cried when we get the full backstory, both from her perspective and again later from Rivers… It was brutal and tragic and yet she still opened herself up to her man again! I am relatively sure she’s stronger than I woulda been in her shoes. But a love as epic as theirs deserved a second change, and that’s just what S.L. Scott gave them… a chance at their HEA! It’s a fierce battle but one that any true lover of romance books will absolutely adore.

Rivers is the third book in the Crow Brothers Series, however each book is a standalone about individual characters and you can enjoy these out of order if you choose. Find out for yourself just how awesome S.L. Scott’s stories are… buying Rivers and get started right away!
