What happens when the Gentleman of Rock decides to play dirty?
A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band's publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.
Only problem is, Thea doesn't date clients--or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she's not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.

I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.

So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.

4 to 4 1/2–David Rocked My World–Stars!
I really enjoyed this novella. In fact, it didn't read like a novella but read more like a full length novel. It was full of characterization, creative dialogue, and sensual romance. It also featured a sexy, tattooed, and very determined hero that stole my heart and made me swoon.
It's refreshing read a rock star romance where the hero is easy to fall in love with. And, boy, did I fall in love with David. He's charming, shy, loyal, and genuine. He's pure class and definitely lived up to his "Gentlemen of Rock" title.
After getting to know Thea's character in the first book, I was a little worried that she might be too strong willed for me. I shouldn't have worried; Nalini Singh knows how to write kick-butt heroines that are easy to love. Thea's definitely a tough-as-nails business women who can hold her own, but she also possesses a vulnerable side that was very endearing. I loved her.
What I loved most about this book were the MEMOS sent between David and Thea. Oh my goodness, they were brilliantly written and so much fun to read. I absolutely loved David's sense of humor. Here's a fun quote from one of his memos to Thea.

"I'm also in good shape. I realize I'm not as pretty as Noah, or as built as Abe, or have a dimple like Fox, but I have been told I have good teeth. Therefore, I'm not physically deficient."For those who struggled with Rock Addiction and are on the fence about continuing with this series, I encourage you to give this book a shot. Unlike Rock Addiction, which felt like a new adult erotic romance, Rock Courtship reads like a contemporary romance with the perfect blend of plot, humor, steam, and heartwarming romance. It made for a quick and enjoyable afternoon read. I highly recommend it.

4 gentleman stars!!
My feelings for this book can be summed up in one single GIF.
I didn't like the first book that much. I barely finished it. So my expectations for this weren't much to begin with but I was pleasantly surprised at how much how I liked this one.
David and Thea's story overlapped that of Molly and Fox. We know from Rock Addiction that David has a thing for Thea for quite some time now but Thea keeps shooting him down because David is a client, and Thea has a rule about not dating or getting involved with clients. But David is tenacious and after giving Thea time to heal from a broken engagement, he finally made his moved. And what a move it was!!
Loved, loved the memos they exchanged throughout the book. It was fun, flirty and very, very hot. David had me smiling and swooning with his words. And Thea was another surprise. I was prepared to dislike her because she seems like a harsh ball-buster but she was perfect for David. Her heart has been broken and her confidence in herself as a woman who can hold on to a man is at an all-time low.
Another thing I loved about this are the anecdotes about how the band got started, their war stories, so to speak. It was enlightening and it was great to see their obvious affection for each other. I'm still iffy about the name Schoolboy Choir, but I have to admit, it's starting to grow on me.
Plus, I think the length is perfect. It wasn't too long or too short. It was perfectly paced. There is a bit of drama towards the end but it wasn't unnecessary drama. It worked because it bought David and Thea's story together.

This was sweet. David knew exactly what he wanted and with a little guidance from Thea's sister Molly, he was able to eventually get Thea to take a chance on him. His memorandums and rebuttals to hers were scorching hot lol Though It took me a bit to warm up to Thea, I liked her at the end and felt she handled the different issues that came up pretty well. It took her a while to accept David due to having been burned before. David was utterly devoted to her and all the more awesome for it. I found the novella entertaining and engaging. Safety: No OW/OM/Sharing. Neither are Vs. No abuse/rape. They used condoms. Plenty of pushing away in the h's part.

After reading Rock Addiction I was pretty nervous about whether or not I should continue with the series. The first book had a TON of sex, which I am all for, but very little actual story. So seeing this was a novella I went out on a limb and decided to give the series another shot. I did like this one a lot better. For one, there was a lot of story and dialogue between Thea and David.
This story picks up where Rock Addiction leaves off. David has had a crush on his publicist, Thea, for years. For most David’s rock star status would be an incentive to date him, but Thea want’s no part of the fame, media attention, and groupies.
David decides to pursue Thea the old fashion way - emailing memos.
Yes, in the day of texting, sexting, FaceTime, and Skype David is sending her memos. Don’t worry these memos are pretty freaking hot, David has a way with words and he doesn’t disappoint when they finally have their time together.
If you like a hot rocker with a dirty mouth - here is your book. I am excited at the direction this series is going and think it will keep getting better and better.

FOUR TO FOUR AND A HALF STARS!
I looooved this novella. It had pretty much all my favourite elements of win in it: interracial couple, family-oriented mcs, a dirty talker, and some type of quirk that allowed for some hella sexy times.
Rock Courtship is how gentleman rockstar David Rivera gets his groove back. After being turned down by the band's publicist Thea Arsana, David is absolutely gutted. He knows that his feelings for her runs deep and has no idea how he could get her to give him a chance. But some timely advice from Molly gives him the little boost he needs to get past Thea's defenses and have her break that golden rule she has: never get involved with clients.
The highlight of this story for me was the mcs relationships with family. I'm such a huge sucker for these kinds of books, especially when it displays hardships that disadvantaged families have to go through to get somewhere in life. That's something that will always resonate deeply in me as it reflects my life growing up, struggling to get somewhere with my parents working long hours to give us the education that they wanted us to have, but also to be able to support us and their families back from their home countries. Gets me in the feels all the time.
So, why not five stars? I just couldn't help but want more! I know I keep harping about this but the length really did their story an injustice. Thea and David's story was just so rich. There was so much that could have been explored and the fact that it wasn't took away from my overall connection with both mcs. I wanted to experience their backstory rather than being just told it, I wanted to experience more of their families together, I wanted some more sexy playfulness from the both of them. Bottom line, I just wanted more.
Overall, a great read. This series just keeps getting better and better.
Rock Courtship is part of a series and should be read in order for maximum enjoyment:

4 Stars
I really enjoyed this one. Like Rock Addiction, Rock Courtship is very different from Nalini Singh's other works...so don't go in expecting some Psy-Changeling/Guild Hunter type action or you are going to be sorely disappointed. If you liked Rock Addiction, however, you will love this one also.
David and Thea are both great characters - especially David. It's always refreshing to read about a rock star that isn't a typical cookie cutter man whore (not that I don't love those on occasion too). Still, it's nice to have man that doesn't feel the need to stick his plug in every outlet.
As usual, Singh's writing is flawless. On a side note, I really like her heroines. They are (usually) very level-headed women with a sense of calm self-awareness that I really enjoy. It's nice to have a heroine that is a reasonable, mature, adult - and acts like it - in a sea of of sometimes vapid, insecure, whiny females.
What I think I loved most about this story though is the more in depth look at the family that is School Boy Choir. In this novella, we get more back story about the band, their formation, and the familial bonds shared between them all. I always love stories with an overarching sense of brotherhood, and that is definitely an element in this series.
The next one can't get here soon enough.

What do you get when you put together the "Gentleman of Rock" and the "Take No Prisoners" Publicist? Sounds like a match made in heaven and it is. The problem is that Thea does not date her clients...and David is definitely a client.
I knew I would enjoy this book just based on the memos we heard about in Rock Addiction. What I wasn't prepared for was the slow burn and slow build of two people falling in love. I LOVED those memos especially that last one! ♥ Not only were they hot but very romantic!
Thea is Schoolboy Choir's publicist and that means she has to be pretty tough but that's not all she is. And she's just gotten out of a horrible relationship that has left her a little trust shy. I loved seeing the real her...something that David's seen all along!
David is super sweet and even though he's been labeled a certain way that doesn't necessarily define him. Example: the bar fight...gotta love that. The thing is that he knows what he wants and he goes after it...with a little push from Molly that is.
NS doesn't have to worry about writing love scenes...she has those down pat. I especially loved the parts where these two loved looking into each other eyes! ~sigh~
I was a little worried this novella was going to be too sweet. I needed a little "something something" to mix things up and luckily we got that. Maybe a little predictable and a little over the top but it was just the right thing to give these two the push they needed.
Naturally, we get scenes with the other band members although I did feel like I missed Fox! However, Abe and Noah definitely filled the void. Which one will be next? Does it even matter? They both have issues and need just the right woman to fix them. I cannot wait!
Favorite quotes
♥ "I want you, no one else. I’m so gone on you I haven’t slept with anyone since I asked you out. It’s not hard to say no when the woman isn’t you."
♥ "You know I like the Gentleman of Rock's dirty side."
♥ "Please don't kick my heart, David."
♥ “Why are you and Molly talking in secret female-speak?”
Stomach clenched from holding in her laughter, she raised an eyebrow at him. “Secret female-speak?”
“Incomprehensible to males, though done in plain sight.”

5 stars – Contemporary/Rock Star Romance Novella
Loved this!!!! Everything about it was just fabulous! David was such a perfect, swoonalicious, husband-worthy hero, the memos were clever, saucy, witty, and sexy, the romance was sigh-inducing, sweet, and steamy, and it had just the right amount of sensual, hot sex scenes.
And gawd, David’s memo was just...sigh, swoon!

June 28, 2016
When you suffer such a big hurt, the longer you permit it to live in you, the bigger it grows, until it seeks to devour your soul.
Our girl, Thea, was cheated on and is therefore not dating at all anymore. The douche who cheated on her blamed her for his weakness and shattered her self-image while he was at it. Yeah, dude, it's always the girl's fault for not keeping you happy. What, did she not make you a sandwich or something? Poor you!
That other dog didn't mean anything to me, baby, I swear! I have no idea whose puppies those are!
So, even though she's very attracted to our rock star, David, she won't give him a chance. She knows that rock stars are players and she can't go through that again even though she's pretty sure that David's not like that.
That's right, prove your worthiness to me. I'm almost impressed.
David won't give up and Thea's sister tells him that he should write Thea a memo outlining why she should go out with him. His memo is pretty hot-stuff. Well, we all know that memos are a gateway drug to sexting, so their fingers get a pretty good work-out before they actually get together in the flesh.
They do say that memos are the way to a woman's heart...
This book was pretty short as it was a half-book, but really cute and romantic. If you didn't read the first book, though, you need to because it plays off of it.

I loved this book! The "Gentleman of Rock" won me over immediately. Not only is he a drummer, whom I always tend to find sexiest of the band members, but he's also a nice guy hiding a sexual maestro on the inside.
My biggest complaint with book one was how much blah sex littered the pages, but this story had sex scenes that were few and far between (a good thing!) and the smexy times that were included were meaningful and blow your head off sexy!
I liked how Thea was a tough girl on the outside, hiding a vulnerability that doesn't come out when it's convenient for the plot, but comes out when she needs to make herself vulnerable to David. "Vulnerable" in a heroine often translates to weak or whiny, but Thea remained true to herself throughout her courtship with her man.
The memos...PERFECTION!!! It was obvious that both Thea and David could say what they really wanted to in letters rather than face to face. I was so happy that David took that first leap of faith and put himself out there like he did. When Thea finally memos back...
Hot, Hot, HOT! I knew Singh could give us some steam!!!
I loved these two together, and I'm so happy to say that while I did enjoy the first book, this was leaning toward love, and I will absolutely continue the series. She nailed it!!

Definitivamente mejor que la primera entrega de la serie, esta novella es entretenida pero tampoco para tirar cohetes. Lo mejor: esos memorandos que utiliza David para conquistar a Thea.

Sometimes it's hard for me to enjoy a beta hero but David was incredibly sweet and only had eyes for Thea. His devotion won me over.
I really enjoyed Molly's advice for David on how to make Thea give him chance. It was a cute start to the relationship.
Thea is a tough character but she was done well. A stronger woman needs the right balance and I think the author accomplished this.
This was short, sweet and worth the read.

David (H) is a rockstar who’s known as the Gentleman of Rock and he’s crazy about his publicist, Thea (h), who recently went through a nasty breakup with a cheating ex. David was so sweet and considerate and I loved that he was also celibate even when he didn’t think he’d get his chance with Thea. Thea was attracted to David and felt a connection to him but was seriously hurt by her last relationship and needed some heart to hearts with her mom and communication with David before she was willing to jump in. Written in third person, dual POV. No om drama, some ow drama when H gets accused of impregnating a teenage girl but no, he’s all about the h, and neither were virgins but both have been celibate for months.
I loved that Thea’s sister gives David the nudge and a clue how to present his feelings for Thea in a memo-style and their back and forth via memo was adorable and sexy. Their chemistry together was also wonderful and steamy, making me really enjoy them as a couple. I also appreciated how fleshed out each of their backgrounds were for a shorter book, these are well developed characters. The side characters of his band mates and her family were also detailed enough to make them feel important too.
There is some drama when he’s accused of being the father of a girl’s baby and it’s emotional, but it’s also resolved fairly fast and they come out even more solid as a couple. I also liked the epilogue, although a more extended one would have been even better. But they’re in their HEA and sweetly in love. I would definitely recommend this as a rockstar romance without the rockstar bad behavior.

A nice but rather average story. I recommend it more to fans of this series.
Many years ago I read the first book in this series. Unfortunately, it was so long ago that I don't remember anything about it. So I was not entirely sure if I should continue this series with this x.5 book. I usually don't like novellas in between the actual books in a series, and I read them mostly when I'm really caught up in the series. And of course, that was out of the question in this case.
So, I did not find this story as fascinating as it could be. I don't remember all of these characters, so I had no emotional attachment to them. But also I didn't remember any details about them. Unfortunately, this novella was not able to completely outline the full-blooded characters. Which in my opinion was especially visible in the case of David. Thea was still defending herself somehow, mainly because she had been hurt in the past, which influenced her current behavior.
The plot is not bed. I liked the idea of the memos - it was something new and interesting. Although I don't think it's anything particularly romantic. For some reason, in my mind it didn't suit Thea at all. And David, too, has shown to be much bolder in these notes than he really was. But overall the plot is okay.
You will also find some passionate sex scenes here. As for the feelings of the main characters, because they had been interested in each other for a long time, I had no problem believing in their love.
Overall, it's a good story. I will probably read another book in this series someday. Although by then I will probably forget everything from this book.

Reasons why every romance lover should read this book
Introduction: In this review I will explain why you, a romance lover, should read this book RIGHT now.
First, a superhot and sexy drummer who knows how to seduce his woman’s mind by writing her panty melting memos in convincing her to give him a chance.
You don’t mind calluses, do you, Thea? They come from drumming so intensely over a long period. All that physical work also means I have plenty of stamina. I can go as long and as hard as you want, or as slow and as deep, or any combination thereof. Hard and deep. Slow and long. Hard, deep, long? I can do that.
Second, a hero who loves tough women, and is attracted to brains … and legs ;-)
“Me, I like my woman so tough grown men whimper and hide when they see her coming their way.”
Third, a novella that reads like a full length novel. This I have never encountered before. Most great novellas always leave me wishing the author gave the characters more page time. But this was just perfect.
Finally, and most importantly, this was a sexy and sweet romance, that made my heart so very happy. Thank you Nalini Singh for proving once again why you are my favourite romance author.
And because I just can’t help myself, I will end this review with my favourite memo from the book. Please note that this is at the end of the book, and may contain spoilers.
March 5, 2016
This was my first book by Nalini Singh.
Loved the humor in the beginning. The hero's pursuit, memo writing, etc! It was fun. The heroine was ok. Damaged from her cheating ex, she blows the hero off repeatedly. Turns him down. Thank goodness he is determined.
But I thought it got dragged down in too much of a slow burn for a novella. They spend many months apart before getting together. Then they still spent time apart because of their jobs. Then there was the stupid drama thrown in towards the end that I thought was overkill for a novella, but I praise the author for not going down the cheating route. The epilogue was sweet.
Most importantky, the sex scenes were just not hot enough.
So I the end, there was nothing remarkable about the novella except that it was a rockstar who did not cheat.

This story is now about Schoolboy Choir's drummer, David, and Molly's half-sister, Thea. It was nice to see at least that this was not insta-love. No extreme highs or lows, just a steady-going build up. A bit of a drama at the end but nothing angst-y.
Seriously, I've said it before in my review of Rock Addiction, and I'll say it again. I swear, Ms. Singh must've gathered every girl's imaginable rock star fantasy out there and put them all in this series' H's. These boys can't seem to do any wrong. And as cheesy as that road can get, strangely enough, it worked for me, so I guess Ms. Singh did her job. Also, as much as this trope has been written to death, with the soap opera-like dialogues added to that, I somehow liked it. How about that!
(David's memos are the best part:D)

Rock Courtship happens at the same time as Rock Addiction and is a sweet story. I enjoyed this one much more than Rock Addiction and loved the memos...
October 3, 2014
Rock Courtship is a novella of Nalini Singh’s Rock Kiss series but will work perfectly well as a standalone although I can recommend reading the first book, Rock Addiction.
This one actually felt more like a novel than a novella – it’s definitely got the feel of a full-length love story as go on a journey with David and Thea. Thea is the band’s publicity manager and David the drummer – he’s known as the gentleman of rock for his fairly conservative dress sense and his lack of sensational tabloid heroines. He’s had the hots for Thea for a very long time but she refuses to mx business with pleasure and is wary of getting involved with a rock star after a seriously bad break up from her ex which left her hurt and slow to trust.
Thea is just a super-organised alpha female type and Molly, her half sister, can see how much David adores her and advises him to write her a memo outlining all the reasons why they would be good together to appeal to Thea’s very controlled business mind. And so we begin a delightful courtship by memo as defences are broken down and hopes are raised.
David is just about the perfect book boyfriend – he’s a tattooed, gorgeous rock God, one quarter of one of the most successful bands on the planet and underneath all that, he’s loyal, caring and shit hot in bed. What more could a girl ask for? He’s got his sights set firmly on just one woman and the endless stream of dispensable groupies are easy for him to say no to. He’s from a loving family from a rough neighbourhood and he has never forgotten his humble beginnings and is just so genuine, charming and surprisingly shy. He is just such a sweetheart – I completely adored him. He might be the perfect gentleman in public but in the sack he’s pure, raw sex and sweet tenderness which really will make Thea feel cherished and truly desired.
Thea, for all her alpha female, ball-busting persona is actually very sweet and vulnerable and slow to trust and David has got his work cut out to convince her that they should be a couple and I so enjoyed the slow build up to this relationship. It’s so romantic and so sexy – it was just what I needed for a lazy Sunday to curl up with!
What Nalini Singh is doing so very well with this series is bringing us fantastic characters and hints at other relationships to really ramp up the anticipation for the rest of the series. I can’t wait to read the other books and see the other guys find their forever girls. If you like a sex and yet very romantic rock star love story, this series is very much for you.

Nalini gives us exactly what she advertises and more, a sweet, sexy and swoon worthy courtship rocker style.
There were very diverse opinions regarding Rock Addiction, the first book in the Rock Kiss series. Mainly because it’s a complete departure from Nalini’s well established paranormal romance genre. But her character development is excellent in whatever trope she writes in, and upon meeting Thea and David in the first installment I knew I would want to know more and wasn’t disappointed.
I loved Schoolboy Choir’s drummer because he wasn’t just “talented and bone-melting sexy.” There was so much more of him to love. He was sweet and funny, a loyal, caring son and brother. And he was smart enough to know how to get to the heart of Thea.
“The Dammn man had figured out her weak point and he’d aimed his missile right at it: her mind.”
Thea is a strong and independent woman. But she’s also warm and caring and rarely vulnerable. They are perfect together.
We know they’ve know each other for years. They’ve developed a caring, supportive friendship along with a smooth working relationship. But Thea doesn’t know that David has loved her from afar since they met. And now that he feels the time is right he’s determined to get the woman of his dreams no matter that he’ll need to brush up on his maddening memo writing skills combining tenderly sweet and decadently sexy.
“Second… I have been told I have good teeth. Therefore, I’m not physically deficient...
Third, I think you’re hot… I’m particularly turned on by your mind and your legs… you should see the fantasies I have of seducing your mind with my words while I stroke my hands over your legs…”
Even though this is a novella, the pace and development was excellent. Because while I enjoyed the steamy parts, I also liked that these two characters developed a deep, easy and happy connection in which the give and take was even and gave way to good communication and openness to help get through the pressures of their professions.
“Then I saw you… No one else would do. Only you.”
Nalini did a great wonderful job with this story and even though I have no clue who’s next I’m eager to know more about the rest of the School Choir bad boys.

3.5 Still Not The Nalini I Love Stars
This book was considerably better than Rock Addiction but still not in the league of what Nalini Singh can write. It's like there is something missing from these books. I would say that they miss the "soul" of her Paranormal ones but then I would have to admit that Singh probably delved into this genre because of the hype and the money. And although I don't see anything wrong with writing for the money, I still expect better results from her.
That being said, this book had the cheesy toned down a bit. None of the...
... shit from the first book to be found here. Still, I never connected with the characters. Maybe this is because we don't see the love developing, we just see them after they are already there and just need a nudge to give it a go. It's a novella so I get why I may have found it lacking on that account but I've read other novellas from Nalini Singh and I've seen her do wonders in shorter stories. So I guess if it was any other author I may have given a solid 4 but it isn't and where this author is concerned I have higher expectations.
The one thing I loved about the book was the fact that David was 2 inshes shorter than Thea. When I first read it I was like "What? Nah, that can't be true. Surely I read it wrong because this is a Romance novel and all the heroes are 6+, muscle-bound beasts." I loved it that for once we avoided that cliche. Not that I don't like my tall. I like them as much as the next girl but what are shorter men to do when the standard is so high? So on this I applaud you Miss Singh.

I’ve always loved Nalini Singh’s fantasy, paranormal works so I figured I’d give her new romance Rock Courtship a shot, boy am I glad I did.
Rock Courtship is the story of drum player, David, and publicist, Thea. David has been pining after Thea for quite some time but she was engaged. Once her engagement falls through, David takes his shot at winning Thea’s heart.
It is a cute but very steamy courtship via memos. Fun, highly entertaining and heart felt, Rock Courtship is a wonderfully short romance.
I received this ARC copy of Rock Courtship from TKA Distribution in exchange for a honest review. This book is set for publication Sept 30, 2014.

Way, waaay better than the predecessor, Rock Addiction! This is Nalini Singh that I'm familiar with :D. Yeah, there are some cliches too, but not too much like RA. And I can relate to Thea (heh, we shared the same heritage :p, even I'm a Javanese rather than Balinese) and David, whom in my opinion is better than Fox :)
Really love the memos! :D. I love this kind of courtship and yea, one of Nalini Singh signature in her story is the hero slowly woo the heroine which imho, romantic! It's also make a relationship between Thea and David is not too rushed and forced. I can enjoy their sexy times more than the first, lol! XD
If you have a not-too-good experience with Rock Addiction (like me, ehm), I suggest you to not miss this one. Believe me, this novella is different. You will like Thea with her strong willed and witty personality, but she also has a kind heart and can be fragile. Thea remind me so much with Adria from Tangle in Need and I can't help myself to hug her when she feel down. And David, wow, he's so cute and endearing. He really earn his "Gentleman of Rock" title, because even he can be so hot in bed and playing dirty, he also a gentleman. True to his word, act and love to Thea.
Rock Kiss series might be not spectacular as Psy Changeling and Guild Hunter, but Rock Courtship make me believe again to Nalini to again deliver a beautifully written and sexy love story :D.

Memo to self: Find a David of my own.
This book focuses on David and Thea. David has been head over heels in love with Thea for a long time but Thea has strict rules about dating her clients. Thea's sister Molly suggests that David write a memo to Thea detailing the reasons why she should date him. Molly tells David that there is no way that Thea could resist responding to a memo. David proceeds to write an incredibly sexy memo....and Thea writes an even sexier rebuttal.
I loved these two. I loved learning more about David's background as a poor kid growing up in the Bronx, as well as learning more about Thea. The story was a pleasure to read. I hope that there will be more stories about the boys in the band. I can't wait to read more!

Rock Courtship (Rock Kiss #1.5) by Nalini Singh is sexy cute. David, “the drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet” is a total sweetheart, known as the Gentleman of Rock because he’s so levelheaded and doesn’t get into trouble. But he has it bad for Thea, his bands’ publicist. Thea tries to keep it professional between her and David because she’s still scarred from her cheating ex-fiancé and she doesn’t believe a rock star like David can stay faithful or remain interested in her.
Thea’s sister Molly (heroine from Rock Addiction) gives David some great advice. She tells David to write a memo to Thea why she should date him. He sends the memo via Thea’s email while she is on vacation visiting her mother. The memo idea works incredibly well, and soon David has broken down Thea’s defenses. They write memos back and forth to one another during the week Thea is on vacation. David has a way with words, because in one naughty scene, Thea orgasms just by reading a sexually explicit memo from David. He weakens her resolve in a very unorthodox type of courtship. Then when she comes back, she gives in and lets David seduce her. These two steam up the sheets and more.
The love scenes are pretty much what you would expect to find in a contemporary romance, unlike Rock Addiction that was very heavy on the sex and passion. There’s passion shared between Thea and David, but there is also friendship.
There was some unneeded drama toward the end, but overall, I really enjoyed David and Thea. The ending is adorable. Where can I get my own David, the Gentleman of Rock?
Now bring me Charlotte and T-Rex, Nalini!

Reasons Why You Should Read This Book
Introduction: I tell you that I was nervous and anticipatory to read Rock Courtship, I also tell you the reasons and then give you my happy thoughts.
First and foremost, I went in nervous after reading book one in this series. I DNF’d it at 50% due to lack of a storyline and waaaaaay too much sex. So you see, I was hesitant to grab this novella.
Second, I met these two characters in book one, so having partially read it, I have a foundation to build from with who they are.
Third, I am in love with this couple! Drummer David and publicist Thea are simply brilliant. They build a dialogue and relationship through memos and text. It’s a slow building, slow burning anticipation for the reader. Simply put…..yummy.
Finally, I will tell you that the adult relationship with honest communication and a give and take in and out of the bedroom put this installment in the series head and shoulders above its predecessor.
In Summation, THIS is what I expect from Nalini Singh and this is what I will come back for time and time again.

This review may contain SPOILERS!
The "Rock Kiss"-series is a series I enjoy everytime I read it. I've read this novella in English before, but I just wanted to read it in German as well, to complete the series in the language I originally read it in. David is so dreamy and loyal and romantic and absolutely worthy of Thea, and although I understand her reservations towards him, I still thought she overdid it a little with her caution. Those two were freaking adorable and I loved their story. After Fox and Noah's story, which I've already read, this is clearly my favorite member of the band. David is just so adorably shy and sure of himself, which is really, really attractive and makes for a perfect book-boyfriend. Thea is nice as well, her sassy yet vulnerable attitude makes for a good heroine. The story was genuinely soft and perfect for those two, even the tempo was nice for this being a novella. I absolutely adored this!
