Exposed

Reality of Rock, Book 1

De: Maegan Abel

Narrado por: Elisabeth Knight, Jay Parker

What do you get when you mix the pressure of a music competition with a reality show the likes in which the world has never seen?

The chance of a lifetime, or the fall of everything you’ve known.

When Coveting Mercy is chosen out of thousands of rock bands across the country, they have to make a choice: continue fighting for stage time in Houston or chase the dream that’s always been just out of reach?

As long as they’re in this together, nothing can stop them from rising to the top. Right?

For Talia Wesley, being in a band with her husband, Rocco, and her brother, Tannis, has always been her shelter. She’s used to playing it safe, staying quiet, and letting the guys take the lead.

But the spotlight has a way of exposing even the deepest secrets. And in this house, there’s nowhere to hide, and drama means ratings.

As the cameras roll, Talia and Rocco are forced to confront the cracks they’ve ignored for years, and the love they once thought was unbreakable starts to fracture under the weight of things left unsaid.

Because history means nothing if you lose yourself in the flashing lights of an industry that feeds off the pain of its stars.

Unique premises

I love these 2 narrators together. They always bring a story to life. I really don’t know who to blame/be upset with in this book because all of the main characters had their time for me not liking them as well as feeling sorry for them. The FMC really did not deserve all of the hardships she has faced and repeatedly took blows BUT at the same time I felt like her husband and brother were right to feel as though they needed to coddle her. I loved the overall premises of this story with the reality tv show/music competition.

Wow!

This story of a band trying to make their big break by joining a band competition was more than I expected out of this! I have enjoyed this story so much! Trauma representation from all sides of it was amazing!

Love this so much!

This is a music competition meets reality TV show and the emotions are HIGH! It was so unique and well written that I found myself tearing up in multiple places - and that is highly unusual for me! I loved the drama and tension. And the character development and backstory. It was all so good.

ALC narrated in duet by Elisabeth Knight and Jay Parker. @elisabeth.narrates and @jayparkervoice knocked it out of the park, they were perfect for this book! Perfect!

Thank you so much for this ALC, I really loved it and could not stop listening!
