One unforgettable night, and the man I can’t forget turns out to be a single-dad… and my new A-list boss.
Is this…rock bottom? Kicked out of the company I co-founded. Blacklisted across NYC. At odds with my mother.
The only dopamine I’m getting is flashbacks to my steamy one-night stand.

But Eli is not only a film star…he’s a dad. And despite our chemistry, commitment is the last thing I want. My career is always going to come first.
The question is: can my heart handle that?

Loved the romance and humor!

Rush is probably my favorite audiobook from the Trojan series. We do meet Eli and his daughter Crystal in the earlier books but it isn't necessary to read or listen to the first three books first. However, I'll say that you will enjoy the series more as a whole if you start at the beginning. Anyways, I was so excited for Eli to get his happily ever after. Eli is looking for love and after a heavy and intense night of passion he's tickled to stumble upon Pru again after that fate-filled night. Pro on the other hand is not looking for her HEA. She is down on her luck and is just wanting things to start looking up again. Can chance bring these two together or are they too far apart?

Rush is a book that hits on the romance and live while still having humor and fun. I loved that there was just to smidgen of drama and that this story really stayed true to the characters. Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield did a fantastic job on the narration of this audiobook. Pru had this fierce determination that Emma Wilder really picked up on and showcased throughout the story. Greenfield really pulls out the stops and shows all Eli's enotions... even the heart on his sleeve.

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Heartfel

S.M. West pens another fabulous novel set in her “Trojan” series, Trojan, the rock band who broke up in the height of their career and each book in the series features a different member, it was an amicable split and all the members remain in each other’s lives in one capacity or another and make appearances in each other’s books so it would be beneficial to read or listen to the books in order, besides they are all amazing books. I am a huge fan of rock star romance novels and I love the world Ms. West created and the originality of the series and each book the rock star’s life after the band breaks up. This fourth book is Eli’s story, the former rock star is a single Dad and a successful actor, he stars in a series and is filming a movie, one day hoping to be working behind the camera and out of the spotlight. His fame has made it hard to date and find someone to settle down with, the women he meets are more interested in his fame than him as a person. Not having much luck dating, but he had a memorable and steamy one-night stand, but they never exchanged personal info and he did not think he’d ever see her again, but fate has other plans. Pru’s life has gone into a tailspin, betrayed by her business partner who she thought was a friend that cost her job in the business she co-founded with him and topping that off his influential wife has it out for her and is blacklisting in the business world, luckily she gets a job as a foreign language coach to actors filming a movie in NYC, her hometown. She also needed to move out of her apartment and moved into her mother’s penthouse apartment near Central Park, the apartment and location is great but her relationship with her mother is not so great. But she rolls with it and starts applying for new jobs since the coaching one for the film is temporary. She is fluent in six languages but this is her first time coaching, her first day on the job brings her several surprises, not only is it the actors she will work with but that one of them was her one-night stand from a few weeks ago. They agree to knot talk about the past and to keep it professional, but the chemistry between them is electric and they can only deny each other for so long. But the problem is Eli is looking for his forever girl and thinks Pru is it, but Pru is not looking for a long-term relationship or even a commitment. Pru has had so much disappointment in her life in the love department and those who were supposed to love her and be her friends, it left her broken and with issues, one being her own inner demons to deal with. But Eli has patience and will wait, but will she ever see how good a relationship could be or how good she could be in a relationship, deserving and worthy of love. I thought she was great with his daughter Crystal, just wished she could see it. I loved how everything played out in this beautifully plotted romance, the story captivated my attention and grabbed my heartstrings like no other and I was rooting for these two the entire time. I am sad to see this series end, but there could have been a better way to end it and it was great to catch up with characters from the earlier books too. S.M. West, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, S.M. West chose the perfect cast to bring her characters and their story to life. Emmer Wilder and Lance Greenfield are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They have a complete understanding of the characters they portray, give each a voice that fits that character’s person to a tee and are believable in every role they play, sounding just as I pictured the characters to sound. You could hear how much heart these two put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions. Emma Wilder nailed it as Pru, Lance Greenfield, did the same for Eli, both were great playing the roles of the secondary characters as well. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

A really enjoyable story

Another great Trojan story. I really enjoyed this book. The storyline is sweet. The male narrator Lance Greenfield did a fantastic job. The female narrator Emma Wilder voices irritated me but not enough to make me stop listening. Yes I would recommend this book if you like sweet romance books. I received an ARC for my honest review.

Music Trivia Keeps Things Fun

Another wonderful book for this series! 🎶🤩🎶

4.5 stars - Pru and Eli have an instant connection and a salacious first encounter. It was unforgettable for both of them with no information exchanged so everything else is left to fate. And fate is a nasty being who takes a very tough road for Pru to get in Eli's path again.

There's humor, some one-upmanship, drama, sizzle, and a bit of a puzzle to sort out. I like the chemistry, the push and pull as life throws things in their way. I was proud of Pru for writing off Ross and his wife after what happened there. I was also happy to see things with Priscilla go in a positive direction after so much turmoil.

If you enjoyed earlier works in the series, you might remember that Eli has a daughter, Crystal. She is taken with Pru just as quickly as Eli is and it is sweet and fun to see that relationship build.

You don't need to read/listen to the prior books in the series to enjoy this book, but it will enhance the experience as there are character crossovers and references to the past. There is also a reference to the characters in the fifth book of the NY Knights series but it's brief.

I liked the narration by Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield. I look forward to hearing both narrators in future books.

Story: 4.5 stars
