Oh Yea, make sure and check out Cunning's other books.

I was grateful to receive a free copy of Treat Me, Thrill me in exchange for an honest review. The cover and story line were both very appealing. What I didn't realize until midway through the book, is that this book was part of a series. Since I missed the first few books, I was having a hard time following the story, because I didn't know the characters or their history. I also felt a little cheated at the end, because I never got closure.

Once I started to figure out the plot and some of the characters, I enjoyed the rest of the story. I would only recommend this book to people that have read the series from the beginning, as this is not an easy story to "jump into."

As usual, Olivia Cunning delivers steamy and sensual reads. These books continue her One Night with Sole Regret series and leaves me wanting more!

Great continuation to the stories! Lots of fun not to mention mystery as to the fate of Sole Regret. I can't wait till the other stories come out so that I can see if everyone gets a somewhat happy end.

Every day is 'Sinday' with the band members of Sole Regret."

Being a lover of rockstar romance, it's a given that I love the writing of Olivia Cunning. Nobody delivers the rocker perspective and concert experience like she does. I'm not a huge fan of getting my installments in short cliffy segments. Unless they are being released back-to-back quickly, it's a negative experience for me. I read too many books in between to keep the momentum going and the details get lost while I'm waiting, especially when they end without being resolved. That being said, I still love reading everything this author writes. So much, that even knowing that I'm gonna be left hanging, I can't resist reading it anyway.

Treat Me gave me a closer look at Jacob (aka Shades). He's the lead singer for Sole Regret and he's a real people person. He loves being the center of attention and interacting with his fans. Their love and approval makes him feel valued and appreciated, unlike the way his ex makes him feel. Unfortunately he has to tolerate her in order to see their daughter. He tries to stay on her good side, just to keep peace. It was working out for him, until he fell for her older sister. Amanda is everything he wants in a woman, and she loves his daughter too. He wants to claim her as his own, but she's afraid of her sister's wrath. Will their love stand a chance in the face of a bitter ex that holds what's most precious to him?

Owen (aka Tags) is the bassist for Sole Regret. He's the good guy. The one with a soft heart that keeps having it broken over and over as he searches for 'the one'. But he doesn't let the search hold him back, he likes it kinky and enjoys playing in sex clubs. What he never expected was to find her there of all places. She's the one with the ex in this story. She's rebounding from a broken heart and a broken marriage. She just wants to let loose and experience all the things she's been missing out on for the last decade. And she thinks Owen is just the guy to show her the ropes. As usual, Owen's heart gets involved far too fast and he struggles to restrain himself. Having lost many loves by pursuing too hard, he tries to be what Caitlyn needs and keep a reign on his feelings. Just when he starts making headway, a groupie shows up pregnant claiming that he's the father.

Talk about band drama. There's never a dull moment with Sole Regret. The author took me on a ride and got me totally invested and then BAM! It's like the tour bus broke down and left me on the side of the road... waiting. But no worries, they are worth waiting for. The line forms here...

So much fun! I'm a big fan of OC's writing, and this was a great quick, steamy read.

Olivia Cunning can do no wrong! A good friend of mine recommended her books to me and I forever hooked! Treat Me, and Thrill Me is a hot sensual tale of accepting your sexuality. Loving yourself, and feeling free to do as you please. I couldn't put it down, simply thrilling.

I love reading books from Olivia Cunning! She has a way of writing strong characters with fantastic storylines set against the wonderful world of rock music bands. With this anthology, the reader is getting two books in one. The first book Treat Me, chronicles Shade and Amanda. Shade, aka Jacob, is the sexy lead singer of Sole Regret who married a viper named Tina. The only good that came out of his relationship was his daughter Julie. Well, that and Amanda, Tina’s sister, with whom he secretly had relations. As Shade is now free of Tina, he is looking to pursue Amanda however Tina will do whatever it takes to stop it from happening. Will Amanda succumb to her sister’s demands or will she continue her relationship with Shade?
As an additional plot twist, the band has picked up a fan who claims to be pregnant by any one of the members and all this while the band’s lyricist, Adam, is having difficulty coming up with new material. When Adam leaves prior to the start of a concert, Shade gives the members an ultimatum one that could have them looking for a new lead singer….
The second book Thrill Me, tells Owen and Caitlyn’s story with a bit of a twist. Owen is such a loveable, goofy character who seems to have no clue when it comes to dealing with women. Caitlyn is the best thing for him but will his need to take care of Lindsey, the pregnant fan, threaten what they have? The end of this story has quite the surprise and I just want to know what will happen. I cannot wait for the next book in this series! I do recommend reading the previous books to have a better understanding of the storyline.
I volunteered to read an arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley.

After the debacle of Tease Me, the previous book in the serial series, I didn't hold out much hope for this anthology. Unfortunately, I was right in being worried.

This serial had been put on hold for a long time, so much so that I'd moved on from it. I hate the cliffhanger nature of serials, but what makes this series even worse is that there is a bit too much overlap between the books, because they all take place on the same day, just focused on different members of the band. It means that the overall plot of the serial arc is only slowly advanced, because we only get maybe one major revelation per installment.

Treat Me: This is Jacob and Amanda's installment. Jacob is always a jerk, but this time it was more pronounced. He kept pushing Amanda to go public with their relationship, and couldn't understand that she was trying to protect him from her sister. His denseness extended to the scene that Amanda created near the end of the story. If he had been paying attention, he would have realized that she was faking everything! Instead, he puts his head up his rear end and does everything possible to hurt everyone that matters to him, except his daughter. I was very disgusted with this story, and couldn't see how they could possibly continue on from this point, but more importantly, I didn't WANT to continue with this couple!

Thrill Me: This was Owen's installment. I felt it focused more on Owen and Lindsay, rather than the actual couple of Owen and Caitlyn. Owen was so naive when it came to Lindsay, he kept hurting Caitlyn because of it! It really felt like Owen had his head in the sand when it came to Lindsay, and couldn't see how she was manipulating the situation. There were some major revelations when it came to this installment, but it wasn't enough of a resolution to things. It left more questions than answers, and left the entire couples situation with Owen and Caitlyn completely up in the air!

All things considered, I'm not really sure I want to continue with this series. I know it is scheduled for 15 installments total, but I'm really doubting that things will wrap up within that frame. Maybe if it was one big collected book would I be interested in finishing things out.

Sole Regret series a series is fellow religiously. Even though Gabe and Melanie are my favorite couple in this series. Each book give an inside look at each couple, It they also give bit more pieces of the life of the band itself. I love how Olivia keeps the whole series together, by using the same timeline for each book.

Very exciting cliffhangers for each.book that go on to the next couple

Olivia Cunning is the Queen Bee when she brings you her Rockstar Romance books. Sole Regret is amazing! But they have demons that they have to fight all the time! So this amazing bundle, Treat Me Thrill Me is Jacob's and Owen's story and their POV of how they felt when the band was destroyed.

Treat Me was unbelievable! What happened between Amanda and Jacob was cruel and unintentional. But life is what it is. I was beyond mad at one moment when Jacob's ex-wife came back and just made everything worse. Jacob did everything for his little girl. Even if he choose to be with the woman he despises the most. Who is Amanda as I mentioned? Well that my fellow readers you have to read this book to find out!

Thrill Me was a complete 360 from Jacob's story. So we got bits and pieces of Owen's life. You know that he was involved with Caitlyn, but took responsibility of fathering a baby with a groupie! But the kicker is, he is not truly sure if he or one of his band members are the father. But to be the peacemaker that he is, he choose to help and support the mother to be. I mean it! This book has so much drama your head spins. At the end of Owen's story, I was shocked with the events that happen. Never in a million year did I see Kelly (band member) with a new perspective! Oh this leaves you speechless!

Treat Me Thrill Me gets your heart pumping. Your emotions are all over the place. The unthinkable happens! In both stories and you are left with your eyes wide and mouth open. You are thinking WTF just happened? Olivia brings it! You are just getting everyone's perspective when the band breaks up. My question is will they survive the storm after the calm? I need the conclusion asap! I truly enjoyed this read and you will too!!!

Ok, first don't read series out of order. I didn't research in depth where these fell within the storyline before I started reading. I will be going back and reading the preceding books. With that being said, I've read other series by Olivia Cunning, I'm a fan. I don't like how this series goes back and forth with characters, but I get that she does that sometimes. It can certainly make it more difficult to follow especially if there are large gaps in release dates. So you either have to reread the books to get some cohesiveness​ or wait until all are released.

Overall the characters are well written. You are seriously rooting for the guys in each of their books. You want things turn work out and stop throwing huge obstacles and awful emergencies into the mix. Guess we'll wait and see how things turn out for Jacob and Owen. So much up in the air there is no telling where they'll land.

This is Volume 4 in the One Night with Sole Regret Anthology. It starts out with Treat Me. Shade is going home for the weekend. He’s going to meet up with Amanda and then spend the weekend with his daughter, Julie. He knows he’s in love with Amanda and wants to let her family, particularly his ex-wife, Tina (Amanda’s sister), know that they are together. This is going to end up being the weekend from Hell. So much goes wrong and really bad things happen. Will the band sli up because of everything that happens or not? Read it and see for yourself. Thrill me is the 2nd book in the anthology. This involves Owen, Lindsey ( the fan who turns up pregnant after spending the night with the band) and Caitlyn (Owen’s girl). Owen feels obligated to help Lindsey even if nobody knows who the father of her baby is. This book is full of hope, heartache and wishful thinking. Owen can’t make everyone happy so what can he do? I love this series and can’t wait to read the rest of the stories of Sole Regret. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from the publisher via Net Galley.

Having been a fan of this series, I really expected more from Treat Me. I feel I didn’t get any closer to seeing what happens next. Thankfully, Thrill Me was a little better and sort of made up for it. Really wanted more from these books. Hopefully the rest of the series gets better from here on out.

When I had the chance to read Olivia Cunning’s work I was ecstatic because I had always wanted to read her rock romance books. I loved the band interactions and the relationships I was introduced to. Even though there are back stories that I haven’t had the pleasure of reading yet I could follow along with this anthology without missing a beat. The only thing I need to do now is go back and read everything that I have missed out on and patiently wait for the next book on the guys from Sole Regret.

Treat Me
As the lead singer for rock band Sole Regret, Shade/Jacob had some things going his way. He was finally rid of his bi*chy wife, Tina and Tina’s sister Amanda has taken up residency in his heart. Jacob’s love for his daughter, Julie, was what mattered the most to Shade. Well, that and his new found love for Amanda; even if Amanda wouldn’t tell Jacob that she loved him as well. Amanda was in awe of the love Jacob had for his daughter. As for the band Sole Regret, things were getting tense for the guys because Adam wasn’t writing songs and the guys had a tag along that said she was pregnant with a baby that could belong to any of the band members.

How could this get worse…oh, let’s just say that Tina had threatened Amanda that if she didn’t publicly break up with Shade she would keep Julie from not only her but she would make sure Jacob wouldn’t be in his daughter’s life anymore. Then let’s add in to it that Adam had just taken off minutes before the band was to take the stage. Shade was sick and tired of covering for Adam so he gave the band the ultimatum that they replace Adam permanently or they were going to have to replace him because he was ready to walk away from it all.

Thrill Me
Thrill Me is Owen and Caitlyn’s story or is it Owen and Lindsey’s story? Either way I loved it. Talk about relationships and complications Owen’s relationships come with more complications than any one man should have. I loved Owen and Caitlyn’s storyline because the chemistry these two had was off the charts and along with all of that chemistry were actual feelings. Lindsey’s connection with Owen seemed to be with Owen feeling responsibility to take care of someone who needed help just like he was taught from his parents. That is the “good boy” Owen but the “bad boy” Owen gave some of the sexiest, dirtiest loving to Caitlyn.

With all of the women trouble Owen was trying to sort out his band was falling apart before his very eyes. With so much drama within the band at in his love life you wouldn’t think things could get any worse…until it gets much, much worse.

I received this ARC from NetGalley for a freely given and honest review.
