Review
Summary: She wants something easy. What she needs might be something else.
Cassidy Evans is looking for an escape over her college summer break. And when one night with a few too many martinis leads her to sexy guitarist, Gage Logan, she may have found exactly that.
He's hot and he's sweet, and in the bedroom he's enough to make Cassidy forget her own name. Multiple times. But as her heart opens to Gage, feelings she's been trying to avoid slip through, too. Regret over her rocky relationship with her parents. Pain from her brother's recent death. Guilt over a fallout with her best friend... As much as she craves Gage, she can't unlock her heart the way he deserves.
Enter Luca James, international rock star and lead singer for Gold Rush Standard. Cassidy can't stand his music. She can't stand his arrogance. And, when he sets his sights on more than the drinks she serves him, she especially can't stand how she's drawn to his no-strings-attached flirting.
Soon Cassidy will have to make a choice: ignore her heart and go after the carefree life she covets, or stand strong to face a bittersweet reality.
Either way, she risks losing everything she truly wants.

Rock & Release (Summer Love, #1)

My Honest Opinion:
This story is really long. Took me a long time to read. But I LOVED it. Its really an enjoyable story. The is a New Adult, Romance, Contemporary. Its a really heavy romance, Its really explicit. But its more heavy on the Romance than the sex. Which I liked. I don't mind sex just as long as its not too heavy on it. 
This story revolves around Cassidy and Gage and Cassidy and Luca. From the start I fell in love with Gage. When Luca came into the picture I was like Hell no!!! I didn't like him at all. Part one revolved around forming a relationship with Cassidy and Gage. I was so happy. It made me Giddy inside. He seemed like such a great guy. Gage is not selfish, always thinking of other people. He was just a really great guy. I loved how this author told the story about the relationship of these 2. Part Two revolves around Luca which I won't give much away. But I just didn't like his character. I figured from the start he was going to be selfish. He is a rockstar hottie. But he just had this attitude that I didn't like. All the girls threw theirselves at him because he is this rockstar. I knew from the beginning he was going to be trouble. Part 3 revolved around Gage and his issues and then Cassidy and her issues and Luca being exactlly who I knew he was going to be. I love how the author ended the story. It was different to me than other Contemporary Romance books. It was just so sweet and such a heartwarming story all together. 

Dislikes:
They way it was repetitive. Such as saying 1 word 3 times. And it wasn't when they were having sex. It was just ALL the time. 
The character of Luca drove me crazy

Likes; 
The story in general was superb, Truly engrossing. Hard to stop reading. Swoon-worthy. Emotional and intense. All the feels. 
Gage and Cassidy- such a great relationship. I love the depth of them. How they overcome things either together or apart.
4.5 stars MUST READ
