Publisher's summary

After Noel Falcon professed his love to the one girl who truly holds his heart in the palm of her hand, he decides to try his damnedest to keep Lane Vance in his life forever this time. There's no way he'll let her slip through his fingers again without a fight.

The instant they are together Noel begins to plot a way to ask his headstrong ladylove to be his wife, but every attempt to pop the question is foiled by a string of mishaps that prevents him from getting the job done before he goes back on tour with Black Falcon.

Distance is a bigger challenge than Noel expects, and the one-eyed beast of jealous raises its ugly head when Lane takes on a job working on an ad campaign for Embrace the Darkness. With Striker - a man who's made his interest in Lance clear - lurking around her constantly, Noel wants to claim Lane now more than ever.

Can I give zero stars?

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was boring. He had little to no inflection and his voice was SO wrong for the character Noel. I felt slightly dirty listening to him reading sex scenes. I got half way through the audiobook and realized I had no idea what was going on. I had tuned him out for over an hour. I was very disappointed that he was reading books 2 and 3.

Narrator!!!!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was very hard to listen to this book. The narrator was soooooo wrong for this book. Mr. Steele needs to narrate OLD WESTERNS ONLY!!!! His voice was soooo not what I expected Noel's to sound like!!! What the Heck!!!

Older is NOT better.

I would have given a higher rating if the narrator sounded like the 20-something main character should have sounded. Instead he sounded like a 60-something older man.

Story of a 22yr old read by an 80yr old!

Where does Rock the Band rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Don't know....couldn't even listen to it

Would you be willing to try another one of Allen Steele’s performances?

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Any additional comments?

I couldn't get even 5 minutes into it! I could not listen to a man that sounds 80 read the part of a 22 yr old....bad bad bad....please redo as soon as possible so those of us who purchased can actually listen & enjoy rather than cringe & shut off!

WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

What did you love best about Rock the Band?

The story is just as good as the first book. I love hearing more of Noel's side of things, BUT............

Would you be willing to try another one of Allen Steele’s performances?

Why would they choose this narrator?!?! The character is supposed to be a 22 year old Rock God, but he sounds like the What-a-Burger commercial guy. I don't want to hear a grandpa talk about their intimate places. EW! I'm very torn on whether or not I can finish the series since he narrates part of book 2. This really gives me the creeps.

Any additional comments?

Allen Steele shouldn't read for characters younger than 45 years old, at the very least!!!!

Omg Narrator NO

The first book was amazing, I was looking forward to the next one. I'm sorry but the narrator sounded like a grandfather not a rock star. Lasted 5 mins listening and had to end it. Do they even try and match characters to narrators?
