Nothing But Trouble series book #2
Release Date: July 17, 2018
Review copy provided by the publisher

I'm blown away. Really fucking blown away! Can I just tell you to buy the book and read it? Because seriously, this book will more than likely end up on my top 5 favourites of 2018.

Tara Leigh is a new to me author. I read the first book in this series, Rock King, and I adored it. But this book has now made Ms. Leigh an auto read for me!

Landon Cox has fame and money. He's the drummer for the wildly popular band, Nothing But Trouble. Despite having the world at his feet, he's not content, and he's far from happy. He numbs his life with booze, drugs, and women...a lot of women. But there's one woman in particular that he's never forgotten and wants back desperately, Piper Hastings.

Man, I loved these two together. I loved the chemistry and push and pull between them. The love scenes lit up the damn pages; seriously smokin' hot!

Piper and Landon both have their share of baggage and drama in their lives. But what drew me in and convinced me they could work past the bad stuff, was their absolute need for each other. It was like they were each other's oxygen. I could feel the love between them...even when they didn't want to admit it!

I appreciated the realness of Landon's rock star lifestyle. The author didn't sugar coat the substance abuse or the journey to recovery.

The writing was beyond stellar. Admittedly, first person POV isn't my favourite, but Tara Leigh's writing pulled me in so much that I didn't even pay attention to that. I loved that you got both of the characters perspectives.

I'm not sure I can do this book justice with my review, but I hope I've convinced you to give this series a go. While this book can be read as a stand alone, do yourself a favour and start with book #1, Rock King. Trust me, you don't want to miss Shane's story. He's cocky and too sexy for his own good!

I confess, I have a soft spot for a rockstar romance and this did not disappoint!
Landon is likeable but an absolute mess and Piper is the person to pull him out of his downward spiral, both for her job and for her own personal reasons.
I loved all the characters in this story, and I cannot wait to go and read the 1st one in this series.
This is the first book I have read from Tara Leigh but definitely won't be the last!

I loved this book. It had me turning pages faster than I could possibly read. I just had to know if Piper would end up with Landon. It was such a cute love story. I love how Landon describes Piper as the one that he will always regret yet she has been so close to him for 3 years. I mean Piper keeping her identity and involvement with the band away from Landon took a lot of work. Just that build up alone had me wanting them to end up together. I was so happy both Landon and Piper were able to resolve some issues from their families. I love when a story can truly have a happy ending and each character is now living up to the best of their ability. I also loved how there were so many things I didn´t see coming. I mean talk about excellent writing. There were so many things that my jaw just dropped while I was reading. This is my first book from this author but it won´t be my last. I loved her writing style and the way the story just flowed so well. I enjoyed the depth she was able to bring into even the background characters. I mean Delaney and Piper going to the same high school but weren´t friends, but now they are friends because of Nothing But Trouble. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance with twists you didn´t see coming and two people you will instantly fall in love with!

Rock Legend is the second book in the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh although it can be read as a standalone.

We met Piper and Landon in Rock King, now prepare to fall in love with them in Rock Legend. Six years ago Piper was just a college girl in love with a musician - a musician who would eventually break her heart when he walked away to pursue fame and fortune. Nobody expected Landon to become anything but he proved them all wrong - drummer for the most popular rock band in the world with more money and women throwing themselves at him than he knows what to do with - but he's never forgotten the girl he walked away from six years earlier. The only girl he felt anything close enough to love with.

Even though Piper has worked for the PR company that manages Nothing But Trouble for four years it isn't until after one of their concerts that the inevitable happens and they come face to face.

Landon wants another shot with Piper, if for no other reason but to give him closure. Piper, fresh from a break-up, wants to prove to herself that what she had with Landon was just the romanticism of a young girl and nothing could have been as good as she remembered. But their sizzling connection will prove them wrong. For two people who don't believe they'll ever deserve a happily ever after, they may find the happiness they were always hoping for.

I was afraid going in that I wouldn't love this book as much as Rock King because Piper comes off as kind of snotty at first in Rock King, but I actually really loved her as a character. Landon is your typical rock god with a dark past often depicted in Rock Star Romance but he is perfect for Piper. The yin to her yang, the wild to her calm, the spark to her fire and together they're explosive on the page.

The only thing I found a little unbelievable was that Piper had been working for Travis and closely with Nothing But Trouble for quite a while but they hadn't come face to face before. Seriously? Not once in four years? Piper must have had some luck avoiding him for that long.

Overall, this book is sexy, sweet, and oh-so-addicting, the writing is good, the worldbuilding is believable, and the characters are well developed and well rounded. If you love romances where women fall for cocky, smart-mouthed rock stars you must read this series!

I enjoyed this sexy, entertaining story. It is the first book I have read by Tara Leigh and now I plan on reading the other books in this series. This is the second book in the Nothing but Trouble series and each book is about a different band member in the rock group, Nothing but Trouble. I enjoyed this feel good, second chance romance and I found it easy to like and relate to the characters.

Piper and Landon were in love but one day Landon left without an explanation. Now, six years later, Landon still regrets his decision to leave Piper. When he left, he broke his heart and Pipers.

Piper is now a public relations assistant to one of the hottest talent managers in Hollywood. She is a strong, independent woman and is she is also sweet and alluring. Piper is not happy when she learns her newest assignment is keeping Landon out of trouble. Her boss expects her to stay by Landon’s side and monitor his behavior. Landon is the drummer for the successful rock band Nothing but Trouble and he is a mess. He has demons and he drinks and hooks up with random women to silence the noise in his head.

Even though Landon and Piper are both successful, they have scars from their past that they are afraid to share with anyone. When Landon and Piper are together they help each other heal and become better people.

I don’t want to get too much into how wonderful I thought this book was, but oh damn, it was gooood. I really really enjoyed the first book in the series, Rock King, and I was excited to check out the rest of the band and get to know them. Rock Legend follows drummer Landon Cox, a man who had a rough upbringing. The child of addicts and a product of the foster system, his troubled past makes him into the man he is today. He pushes people away from having deep, meaningful relationship.

I was not much of a fan of Piper in the first book, but we didn’t really get to know her that well. She really grew on me in this book and proved me wrong. She was strong, determined to make it in a tough industry and I really loved her. She and Landon had been together in college and she thought he was the one. He had to choose between her and the band, and six years later Nothing But Trouble is one of the biggest bands out there. Now they’re brought back together because Piper works for their manager.

This book was beautifully written. Rock King was my first Tara Leigh book and I’m addicted. When I was reading this book, I honestly couldn’t put it down and finished it in one day. Landon stole my heart, I have a thing for bad boys in book apparently, and loved watching him and Piper as they get to know each other as adults instead of the kids they were six years ago. I highly recommend this series, especially if you love second chance and slow burn romances, beautiful writing, awesome bands, and lots and lots of angst and sexy times. I think I liked this one even more than the previous book, which is saying something because I loved Shane and Delaney’s story!

I love Rockstar romances and this one did not disappoint. I haven’t read the first book in the series, so I’m reading out of order. It is a standalone book and although characters of the previous book were mentioned as well as some of the situations, I don’t feel that Rock King was spoiled for me.

It’s a very steamy book, but I have to be honest, I skipped through some of the sex scenes because there were so many! I was very intrigued about the plot and wanted the answers so I skipped through some of the hotness. That’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The asexual scenes were just too close together maybe??

In general I liked the mystery and the plot twist, but I was quite frustrated with the characters’ push and pull. Landon and his negativity towards himself, and Piper’s issues were giving me whiplash.

I loved the ending and will definitely read more of this series!

Another great rock romance on the guys from Nothing But Trouble! The second book of the series is Landon’s story who happens to be the drummer of the group. Landon is the “Legend” not only for his mad drumming skills but also by being a “legend” onto all the women he beds. (the man has mad skills with that as well)

Before Landon the legend hit it big Nothing But Trouble was playing to bars and clubs but was given a chance at hitting it big. The only problem back then was that after being called to a meeting they were given an ultimatum with board a plane that very minute and leave the cell phones behind or they were being dropped... The guys knew this was their one chance of hitting it big especially with the backing they were getting so they all left without a word to anyone. The only problem at that time was that Landon had a woman he was falling in love with and he had no way of contacting her to let her know that he wouldn’t be coming back after his meeting. Piper thought the only thing she could…he walked out on her leaving her heart broken. Years later and the two finally meet again and with everything they both have had to deal with growing up it was hard to see that this second chance would ever work out.

I loved Landon and Piper’s story because it was full of surprises and a chemistry that was hot as h*ll. The childhoods they both had was sad and you wondered how they ever could come back and really be a functioning couple with any hope of a future. This series hasn’t lost a step…it started off great with book 1 and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Leigh will give us in the next book of their series.

Rock Legend is the second book in the Nothing But Trouble series by Tara Leigh, although it can be read as a standalone I would recommend reading the series in order so that you can follow each of the band-mates find their HEA's as they unfold since they are prevalent in each of the books.

I enjoyed Rock King, but I LOVED Rock Legend. Landon and Piper get their second chance at love in this book, but it is a long and bumpy road that the two must travel to get to their HEA. There were times that I honestly didn't think things would end well for them and wondered if we were going to be left with a cliffhanger. This book was not rushed at all, it just felt like they had one obstacle after another and the way they were pilling up....well it wasn't looking good for them.

Tara Leigh gutted me with the epilogue. I enjoyed the steamy read, even with all the obstacles sexy time was plentiful and HOT! But the epilogue had me crying like someone close to me was going through what was happening and I know it's because of the way the book was written. Tara Leigh pulled me in right from the very beginning and made me feel as if I was right there witnessing it all first hand as one of their closest friends would be, so yes I was balling like a baby for a while....even after I finished the book!

Once I completed the book I continued reading the Author's Note and I feel the need to share it with you because I wholeheartedly agree with what she says.

**Author's Note**
"Piper represents an all too common problem in our society - women clinging to the idea that they have to be perfect to be worthy of love.
No one is perfect.
To everyone reading this note - it is our differences and imperfections that make us who we are. Please, embrace them.
Life would be painfully boring if we were all the same."

Landon Cox is a legend! And he sure lives up to people's expectations. But despite it all, he's still human and has many flaws in his life behind his rockstar/drummer image. Sure, he's lived in fame and fortune with his band Nothing But Trouble, but his own troubled, fragile heart doesn't live like it used to.. All because of one Piper Hastings whom he's loved and lost.

Working for a Management company that caters to the very same rock band Landon is part of, Piper Hastings has done a great job of escaping Landon's attention. Until that one momentous day when she discovers her current boyfriend cheating on her. While she doesn't realize Fate seemed to have led them to each other, Piper is still adamant that Landon deserves nothing from her and that she's no longer invested with her feelings for him. If only those words were true...

For the second time around, I fell in love with Tara Leigh's writing and rockstar characters. They weren't perfect, but they're perfectly capable of captivating their audience (and readers alike). That's saying a lot about Tara Leigh. She's done a wonderful job keeping us readers in our toes, (mine particularly curling while swooning), and done an excellent job making us happy and satisfied, at least until the next book! Looking forward to more of Leigh's engrossing writings and awesome rockstars and their baes!

This is my first book from this author (even though it's the second book in the series). It's a second chance rock start book and I'm really pleased I picked it up. I loved the characters and the chemistry between them. Landon and Piper had to work hard to overcome their past and find their happiness. Now to start the first book and wait for the rest of the series.

I enjoyed this one, maybe even more than book one. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars. This review is for an ARC, and reflects my honest opinion.

I didn't really like Piper THAT much in book one, but I liked her in this book. Being able to see someone's life/circumstances can really change your opinion about them. I thought Landon was okay in the first book from what I remember, but once again, knowing his past endeared him to me even more.

I will say that I wasn't surprised by the "twist" in the plot; in fact I was expecting it from pretty much the beginning. I would have been more surprised if it didn't happen, but I still enjoyed reading this. If you like rock star romances, you'll probably like this one...although honestly there wasn't that much focus on the music/band. It was more just a second chance romance.

This book had some sad moments, and I found myself crying a little bit when I got hit with the feels. I can't wait for the next book in this series to be published, which looks like November, so you have some time to catch up on the series!

Piper and Delaney had known each other since nursery school. Piper had not been very nice to Delaney at times and had done nothing to deserve Delaney’s concern or friendship. Piper had secrets to keep and couldn’t afford to let her guard down for a minute. Being friends with a girl like Delaney - someone who cared about more than just clothing labels and boyfriend of the month- terrified Piper. Yet crazily enough Delaney was now Piper’s closest and only friend. Piper was a PR assistant for one of the hottest talent managers- Travis in Hollywood. Piper had yet to master work-life balance. Delaney was flying out to go to Nothing But Trouble’s show. Delaney’s boyfriend was Shane who was the frontman band. Travis ended up being the reason why Delaney and Piper reconnected. Once Delaney and Shane got together Piper was assigned to manage Delaney’s introduction to Shane’s possessive fans. Rock stars weren’t Piper’s thing - not anymore. Adam was Piper's ex as of twenty minutes ago. He showed up at her car and tapped on the window and Piper ignored him and drove away. Landon was the drummer for Nothing But Trouble and this was the most successful band of the decade. Landon was living the dream except when he wasn’t on stage or in the recording studio it was more of a nightmare. Landon had a lot of luggage he was carrying from his past. Yet he remembers the girl he had let get away her name was Piper and Landon had met Piper when she was a freshman in college they had two wonderful months together - the best of their lives so far. Piper even though Landon may be the one. But then Landon had to choose the band or Piper and Landon chose the band but had regretted that chose in the end. Landon had became a man whore who drank and used drugs a lot and slept with several women. Piper had grown up never doing enough or anything right as far as her father was concerned. Six years later and Piper is trying to keep her distance from Landon. But then after a concert Piper and Landon came face to face. Landon is totally surprised to see Landon yet oddly enough he finally felt whole whe he had felt something was missing and that something was Piper. After one of Landon’s very drunken nights Travis sent Piper to babysit Landon.
I enjoyed this book. I loved Piper and Landon together but at times I got frustrated with them. I liked the plot and the pace. I liked the surprises throughout the book. I like how we are shown why Landon and Piper are as they are. Landon always felt Piper deserved better than him. I felt bad for what piper and Landon had went through in their pasts. There is very hot chemistry between Landon and Piper. I advise you to read the first book in this series so everything runs smoothly as you read this. I would have liked to rate this 4.5. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.

Rock on man! Rock King was fabulous, but Rock Legend was just plain amazing! I have been rooting for this couple since I first met them in the last book. Now, I have a thing for rocker stories or famous people. I don’t know, it’s kind of fun to see an upclose and personal story for people who I perceive as famous. Landon is on top of the world. He’s living large and enjoying all the privileges of the status he has worked hard for Rock Legend!

Piper is his ex. The one he walked away from to get that Rock Legend status. She’s cold and aloft after being burned by the man, boy, she was so in love with. Of course, after her cheating ex, she runs right into the man that broke her heart so completely previously. It was only a matter of time since she works for who manages his career.

Man, these two are like oil and water. Yet, they can’t fight the feelings swirling in them. And these two are so incredibly HAWT together! The author, Tara Leigh, created a story where you could just feel two people fighting to not want what they really want! This book gave me this pull… like I couldn’t stop reading! I expected a book that would come out with a bang but Rock Legend is a slow lovely burn. It builds up. It’s angsty. I love me a good second chance story at love. Piper and Landon deserve it!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

First of all, I liked the flow in this story much better than the one in the first book (Rock King) Rock Legend was easier to read and the ups and downs with the characters made it maybe a little more interesting too.
When I first started to read this book, I got a feeling I wouldn't end up liking this book so much as I liked Rock King. But after I read the last word, I realized I was completely wrong! I liked this book so much more.

Not what I expected. Which is good. I expected more drama and angst. More in your face frustration. This was more subtle. The anger the characters had was more at themselves and their situations. The angst was more frustration over misunderstandings and where they were in each others lives and with themselves.

Piper was a strong but vulnerable character. She was what Landon needed. She didn’t hold back her thoughts or words. Put him in his place when he needed it even if it would hurt both of them. She didn’t care about fame or fortune. Just being with someone who loved her. Landon did but he didn’t love himself. Piper was always trying to be perfect to gain love and with Landon she didn’t need to be.

Landon was a drummer who harbored some serious guilt from something in the past. So much so that he pushed people away and numbed his pain with alcohol, drugs and woman. Only there was one woman who he never got out of his mind and heart-Piper. On the outside he seemed arrogant and demonstrative. On the inside he was kind, caring, a marshmallow and self destructive. He was destroying himself because of a moment in time long ago. Only Piper helped him feel alive and worthy of anything. He had a tough childhood until he came into the Cox’s home and that is where his guilt and self loathing stems from. Piper made him feel he was more like the Cox’s did only he can’t forgive himself. They understood each other and were the other’s lobster.

Only they had so many obstacles to overcome and that is what we see in this book. All the obstacles they face and journey through. Landon’s journey was the longest and the one with the most demons and darkness. It took a long road for him to realize his feelings and what he needed to do before he could be whole again. He lived so long with guilt, denial and self hatred that it was hard for him to stop. Stop being who he wasn’t and fight for himself and what he wanted-a family and love. He will capture your heart but also frustrate you with his stubbornness.

The attraction between the two was palpable and really sucked you into their story more. Their story isn’t easy but a long hard road writhed with heartbreak, misunderstandings, truths to be faced and demons to slay. We get Piper’s and Landon’s view and each will draw you in. They give a complete picture no holds bar on what they are feeling and going through. The feelings they are having are raw and you will feel for them at different times. You also root for them to make it and especially Landon. You so want him to be the man that Piper sees and we see glimpses of because he is just hurting so much and so lost that you want him to find himself once again.

The story is well written, emotional and draws you into their journey of self discovery, forgiveness of themselves and their pasts, moving on, letting go and finding love that is never ending and worth making the hard choices and fighting for.

This is a terrific second book in a great rocker series. Love those bad boys of Nothing but Trouble! Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll are themes in the story but at its heart is a beautiful second chance at love. Fantastic writing propels this story about drummer Landon and his struggles with his past and fame which are tragic, heartbreaking and very realistic. His career came before Piper in the past but will she forgive him? That’s a huge ask with all the hurt she went through. These two are wonderful together as they work to get beyond the pain and heartbreak of addiction and former grievances. So emotional, heart wrenching and ultimately triumphant. Worth the read. 4.5 stars

I ended,up enjoying this book overall, but found the first half to be very slow. It was very little rock star, and a lot of protesting about why they can't be together. Which gets,old,really quickly. The second half was much more interesting. I liked it enough that I will keep my eye out for the third book of this series.

Piper Hastings has spent years trying to avoid the boy who broke her heart. It’s increasing hard these day as his band “Nothing But Trouble” is one of her biggest clients.

As if her life couldn’t get any more complicated, she’s now assigned to help Landon clean up his chaotic life after one of his infamous benders is splashed all over the tabloids.

Keeping him at arm’s length and being the consummate professional should be easy after all these years. But there has never been anyone who has ever owned her body and soul like the dangerously sexy drummer.

“Landon Cox taught me what love felt like, even how it tasted.
Our love was like the first sip of celebratory champagne, the first bite of chocolate soufflé. Bubbly and decadent, so good I didn’t know when to stop. Devouring it until I was sick.
Lovesick.
And I never wanted to feel that way again.”

Landon Cox set out for fame and fortune and he got far more than he asked for. His band’s stratospheric success means that money and girls are as plentiful and disposable. His heart has been off limits since he left the only girl he’s ever loved and never looked back.

But now he needs her help more than ever before. It’s supposed to be only until he’s well enough to get back behind the drum kit, but he’s going to try to convince Piper that they can again have it all.

“Piper and I were so much alike that we were exact opposites. Mirror images.
But looking at her now, I saw the cracks. Tiny fissures where I just might be able to slip through.
If she let me.
If I wanted to.
Would she?
Did I?
Fuck, yeah. More than anything.”

In Rock Legend, Tara Leigh masterfully creates a one of a kind chemistry between her characters and then fans the flames until it blazes out of control!

The execution is superb. From the storyline to the way it makes you feel every word, this is one rock star romance that has enough spark to light the entire summer sky...

I had a feeling Landon and Piper had a history and it's not pretty. Being young, decisions made has left things wrong and now long time has past since they've met and well with Landon's playboy and partier reputation from his rise to fame, I get why Piper was avoiding him. I'm curious about Landon's issues and why he's avoiding anything serious. Even Piper knows not to trust this second chance but for finding her own answers to hers. Landon's bad boy ways are famous to his fans and groupies and he did partake of that so it's gonna be hard to win the girl this time.

I like both characters, they have colorful backstories. After getting to know Piper in Rock King but it scratched the surface, here we know she's had a complicated upbringing then with the initial break up was hard but the girl is loyal and spirited. Landon with all his bad boy rocker ways, he actually has softer side he keeps hidden and only shows it for his girl. This whole unresolved thing for them just shows how much they still feel for the other.

They navigated a bunch of curveballs thrown at them, they were established early on as a couple then went through ups and downs. Getting through the drama was not a piece of cake. It made them stronger and better this time around after things get sorted. I actually felt bad for Landon when the family part is revealed he needed a hug. I'm enjoying this rocker series, it has all the elements of a good one. I definitely recommend if you enjoy a good rockstar read. I look forward to Dax's book.
