Semi-annual updated list!
For a while now, I’ve been asking my readers to tell me their favorite rock star romance books–and I’ve shared the results in August 2023 and again in February 2024.
I’m continually collecting votes and compiling results!
Here are the most up-to-date reader faves, starting with the books that got the most votes. One thing to note: because it’s my readers who are asked, several of my books made the list, so I’m ecstatic…but I also promise not to let it go to my head. 🙂
BOOKS WITH THE MOST VOTES
In no particular order, here are the reader favorite books (and series) that received the most votes!
CAKE, J. Bengtsson
J. Bengtsson’s Cake series is loved by many readers. starting with book one, Cake: A Love Story.
THE ROCKER Series, Terri Anne Browning
Terri Anne is a prolific writer of rockstar romance, and her first series is beloved by readers. They adore the entire Rocker Series!
The ASHES & EMBERS series, Carian Cole
My readers love all of Carian Cole’s rocker books. Talon is a particular favorite, along with Storm and the standalone No Tomorrow. So if you haven’t read any of her books, you have some recommendations for where to start! This series has been a consistent favorite with every list!
The DIRTY Series, Jaine Diamond
Readers love the entire Dirty series, and multiple readers agreed that they adored book number one.
One of her other books has been voted for and added to the list (see NEWCOMERS below!).
The BULLET Series, Jade C. Jamison
As I always like to remind folks, keep in mind that these are MY readers who were polled. Because of that, many of them say the entire Bullet series is a favorite, followed by the Tangled Web series and Wilder Love.
The BEAUMONT Series, Heidi McLaughlin
Heidi McLaughlin’s Beaumont Series continues to be a reader favorite!
The STAGE DIVE Series, Kylie Scott
Readers loved her entire Stage Dive series, and a couple of readers have said that Deep was a fave!
