Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.

When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey. He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person. That night, I got a call offering me the job. So began my complicated story with Tristan. Millions of women loved him. Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.

Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room. I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman. Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection. But I had a secret. One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour. And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

Angsty with an Interesting Twist

4.5 stars ⭐️ The Rocker’s Muse is a new standalone with an age gap, small town, rockstar, and forbidden. Emily wanted to find Tristan to tell him a truth he needed to know. Ashley a famous rockstar, getting close to him was easier than Emily planned. She went to work for his band. What neither Emily nor Tristan planned was falling for each other. This novel had the angst, the twists and the emotional maturity that I’ve come to expect from a Penelope Ward novel. The characters were well developed. The romance, while on the slower side, was full of chemistry, charm, and pining. I thoroughly enjoyed The Rocker’s Muse, which you will have to read the book to understand the meaning behind the title.

Twisty Rock 'n Rollercoaster Ride--Loved it!

This is my first book by Penelope Ward. I really enjoyed it. At first, I didnt think I would because of the larger age gap (15 yrs), but Emily is older than her 22 yrs because of things she's had to deal with in her teens. I loved the characters of Emily and Tristan. They connect early on by confiding in each other about some pretty big secrets. But Emily still has one secret that flips their worlds upside down. I found it to be wonderfully twisty, but also heartbreaking for a while. Everything comes to a completely satisfying conclusion that literally takes you to the very end and the last word. I loved it!!

I bought the book because Connor Crais is my favorite narrator. He narrates with Andi Arndt and they are superb in this! It's truly a talent how they are able to be so expressive with just their voices, and I am in awe! They are both so easy to listen to, and time just seemed to fly. I could not put it down and finished in a single session. Complete enjoyment!

Loved this one!

Well, Penelope has done it again! I’ve read/listened to most of her books and this was definitely not a disappointment. I don’t think I’ve cried more in a book before. If you’re looking for a roller coaster of emotions this is the book. I loved the story of Emily and Tristin. The age gap is 15 yrs but story proves age is just a number. The narrators are two of my favorites. They really bring the story to life.
I can’t say it enough that you won’t be disappointed if you listen to this! You’ll get all the feels and definitely some spice 🌶️❤️ 🥹😭🥰
