Hard Rhythm - Softcover

"Everyone knows Cecilia Tan is the queen of hot, but she's also the queen of wit and angst and voice. Taking the Lead is a book that grabs you by the collar and gives you flirty-eyes. It will tell you, 'Go sit, over there in the corner chair, and don't get up until you're done.' You will do it-absolutely and happily-because Cecilia knows exactly what you want."--Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Bastard and Sweet Filthy Boy

"Cecilia Tan writes erotic romance the way it was meant to be written: full of emotion, intensity, and chemistry that's so hot it burns the page. Taking the Lead is no exception; it's deliciously sexy and utterly satisfying."--Tara Sue Me, New York Times bestselling author

Tan skillfully makes her third Secrets of a Rock Star novel do double duty, first as a wildly creative, enthusiastic, immersive, and incredible hot romance between experienced kinksters, and second as a public service announcement that clearly illustrates the difference between BDSM and domestic abuse. Her portrayals of BDSM will delight the experienced and the curious alike."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Hard Rhythm

"In Tan's capable hands, reality doesn't send fantasy crashing down; once engaged, it deepens the connections that make for the best play. This is an outstanding example of the erotic romance genre."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Wild Licks

"Cecilia Tan's second Secrets of a Rock Star novel starts off with a bang and doesn't let up."--RT Book Reviews on Wild Licks

"Veteran Tan kicks her Secrets of a Rock Star series off with a sultry start. With a satisfying plot and an engaging cast of characters, the only thing slowing readers down will be their refractory period."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Taking the Lead

"Seductive fun not to be missed! Cecilia Tan will make all your sexy wishes come true!"--Lisa Renee Jones, bestselling author of If I Were You on SLOW SURRENDER

Are they ready to go all the way?

Maddie Rofel has seen it all. Even the kinkiest games she witnesses working as a hostess in L.A.'s most exclusive private sex club fail to shock her, much less turn her on. Until the night she has a very personal encounter with drummer Chino Garcia, and the two discover an intimate connection neither can deny. Suddenly the jaded hostess is softening under Chino's touch, and submitting in ways she never expected . . .

All his life, Chino has been running from something. Normally he beats back his demons by losing himself in his music. Now he's losing himself in Maddie. And, while it drives Chino wild when Maddie bares her body to him, what he really wants is for Maddie to bare her soul. For that, Chino will have to push Maddie past her furthest limits-and share his own dark secrets.
