Publisher's summary

Sparks fly when a cynical rocker recovering from trauma meets a vibrant, upbeat man. But will an ex who’s determined to exploit their past wounds rip them apart?

Silas Brown

I’m the rhythm guitar player in a pop-punk band and I’m tired of being called a hero.

I’m also done with crazy.

After taking down a mass shooter, I’m trying to survive and recover.

Then out of nowhere, this colorful dude pleas for help and what do I do? Save him. Of course, he’s really attractive and probably crazy. Now he’s found me at work, wants to meet for coffee and so much more.

Do I lower my defenses and let him in?

Cash Phillips

After a childhood of neglect and foster care, I’ve defeated my past and clawed my way to happiness.

Now I’m ready to meet Mr. Right and I know he’s out there.

He might even be Silas, the one who saved me from being robbed. He’s cranky and oh so adorable and I know he’s the yin to my yang.

How can I make him see I’m not the crazy man he thinks I am?

When Silas’ ex comes at us with her brand of emotional abuse, Silas tries to shield me. But when she’s the one needing help, will it tear us apart or bring us all together?

Light Me Up is the fourth book in the Rock U series and is part of the Mesa Boys universe. This novel features a grumpy man falling for another who’s all sunshine, hurt/comfort, and a bad-boy rocker recovering from past trauma and emotional abuse. It guarantees an HEA and has no cliffhangers. It features a cynical college student with a big heart, and a man who’s perpetually positive and knows what he wants. Each book features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Really Good story & narration

This is a fun series and this story doesn't disappoint. Well written story that keeps you engaged, the narration is really good and brings the characters to life.

RockedU Rocked again

Finnley Cole nails the RockU series again with this book four. Good to hear Silas and Cash get their HEA.

so so good

Light Me Up is the 4th book in the Rock U series. This book, like all the others in the series, can be read as a standalone but I prefer reading it in order with the others. This is Silas the rhythm guitar player of the band ”Knot Me” and Cash a sweet sunshiny guy. Silas and Cash are complete opposites and work so well together. This book has a realness to it that keeps you interested from the beginning. I love books that deal with real world issues and do it well. Christie Gordon is an amazing author and I look forward to the next book she does. If you get the audio narration, Finnley Cole does a wonderful job of narrating this series. He makes the change in characters seamlessly. I can't wait to listen to the next book. I would definitely recommend this book and series.

Silas & Cash's Story <3

We're back to Rock U with the story of Silas and Cash. Silas is still dealing with the effects of the mall shooting and his disaster of a relationship with Mia. Cash stumbles into his life with his happy energy and gorgeous looks. They fall deep and hard despite their best efforts. I love revisiting this group of guys and their guys from Knot Me. All the couples are so sweet and hot, including Cash and Silas. They have a very supportive relationship and I appreciate that there is no miscommunication or third act break up tropes. Finley Cole's narration is excellent as well.

Unwavering Love and Support!

Cash is so sweet and lovable! When Silas rescues him from a mugging, he just knows he has found his man in this savior. Cash has experienced a lot of bad in his young life and he just knows that Silas is a good person, and he is determined to help him realize this. Silas is extremely hard on himself, and this projects out towards others. It is his own self-doubt that holds him back. It was wonderful to see Cash stay his course and show Silas true love. I liked that even though they had dark pasts, especially Cash, the story was still written and very well narrated with a positive tone and there were so many supportive friends around them. Finnley Cole is wonder for this series!

beautiful story, great performance

With every book in the Rock U series, I fall deeper in love with the characters. I love the sweet soul mate storyline with a little drama. Silas and Cash are so cute. As always, Finnley Cole brilliantly and seamlessly switched between characters, giving each character their own personality and making Finnley an automatic listen for me.
