The Rockstar Returns

Beacon Harbor, Book 2

By: Kayley Loring, Connor Crais

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Emma Wilder

Rockstar Starter Guide:

1.Get guitar. Get good.

2.Find that girl who drives you out of your damn mind.

3.Make sure that girl refuses to be with you so you’ll have endless material for songs.

4.Get tricked by your brother and her best friend into getting stuck with her in a remote cabin on a stormy night—with only one bed.

5.Decide if it’s better to keep playing your game or risk losing her forever.

Vera Kruger has dyed her hair every color of the rainbow and she’s turned two very important parts of me blue for as long as I’ve known her.

She’s so deep under my skin that she’s a part of me, just like the small town we grew up in. No matter where I go on tour, she’s the one I wish I could come home to. Even if it’s to argue with her about absolutely anything.

When I return to Beacon Harbor for the holidays, I’m not a screwup anymore. I could give her every single thing she won’t admit she needs. Vera thinks we’re too messed up to work together—we just need to get each other out of our systems.

The truth is she is my system.

Now the girl who’s always been hard on me is going to have a hard time getting rid of me.

And I will fight with her every infuriating step of the way until she figures out I’m never going to leave her.

I’m hooked to this series !

The performance brought the characters to live, this Romcom has spice and all the quirkiness of small town shenanigans! I’m here for more .

Loved Vera and Damien in audio!

Swoon! Getting to experience The Rockstar Returns by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais all over again in audio was such an aural crooning treat! Emma Wilder and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in dual narration, and these two embody all things Vera and Damien. Emma’s light, melodic voice captured Vera’s quick wit, sass, strength, and desires as Damien pulled at her heartstrings, and finally gave in to all that leather jacket-wearing goodness among other things that Damien had to offer. I also loved how Emma encompassed Vera’s playful yet vulnerable sides as well making you feel all the things. Connor’s deep mellow voice conveyed Damien’s confident, charismatic demeanor. At the same time, he added a layer of doubt in his tone to portray Damien’s conflicted complexities as he sorted out his true, underlying love for Vera that had been there all along. Plus, the accents, the impromptu singing, and all the steamy moments elevated this audiobook. All in all, I can always count on a Kayley Loring/ Connor Crais audiobook to make me swoon, blush, and smile, and The Rockstar Returns did just that!

it was a fun story with excellent narration.

All the characters were likable and full of life. The plot was interesting and fun. The narrators were excellent. Tell us Jake's story next.

Excellent!

Such a fun story! I loved how Vera and Damien from book one in the series changed and grew up! Their transformation and love story was wonderful. Great vocal performances!

🎸Damien & Vera❤️Totally Rocked🎸

This is the 2nd book in the Beacon Harbor series by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais and I'd give it +5☆ if I could!! -- It gets a VIRTUAL STANDING O & LIGHTER IN THE AIR from me (yes, I'm old!) I liked Damien & Vera in the first book. I grew to love them here. Even before they are together, Vera is Damien's muse. Everytime they get close, she runs away. Until she can't. Until she doesn't. Until she realizes what she wants. Until they figure out how to be together. Spending the holidays with the Barbers, Sweeneys, quirky townsfolk (yes, you Crabby Crawford!), those lovable lobstahs/retired racers and their babies was great fun! From the masterful wordplay; ingenious chapter titles; greatest hits of cultural & music references; hilarious & beloved characters -- old, new, human, shellfish, and furry; AND 2 bonus epilogues (with the ebook) -- this story has something for everyone! Heart, humor, and heat are perfectly arranged. Loved it from the opening note to the last, and those fictional song lyrics are killer -- sooo good! Top tier writing all around!

The book was dual narrated by Connor Crais & Emma Wilder and they totally ROCKED IT! All of the voices & accents were exemplary (as was Connor's singing)!! Emma's male voice was really good -- quite enjoyable! The acting was top notch, of course (!), and they brought this terrific story & characters to life. It was MUSIC FOR MY EARS, HEART, & SOUL! I loved it so much I did an encore listen. This is one of my favs this year, and will re-listen the future. Right now, I am amped up to see who stars in the next BH book ...Bryce? Jake?
