Dex Harris, Drummer for America's Hottest Alternative Rock Band 69 Bottles, has never gone looking for love—for good reason. After an ill-fated night after a tour stop in Phoenix, his wicked demons resurface. Is he strong enough to resist falling back into the black hole that was once his life or will he let addiction consume him?
Raine Montgomery has worked for Bold International, Inc since she moved to California at eighteen. She’s fought her way into the executive offices as an assistant to CEO Cami Michaels, but being an assistant isn't what she imagines doing for the rest of her life—so when Cami sends her to assist with the 69 Bottles tour, she jumps at the opportunity.
There’s only one kink in that plan—and his name is Dex Harris.
Raine doesn’t expect to be on the radar of the sexy manwhore drummer, let alone the center of his sights. Shattered from a long-term relationship with a cheater, Raine is determined to make Dex prove himself.
Will Dex toss away his one-night stands in favor of sleeping every night with only one woman—or is Raine simply his latest conquest?
A Rock Band. A Tour Bus. One Wild Ride....

I look at her and chuckle lightly and go back to enjoying the show on the stage in front of me. Addison gets hooked up to her mic for the second time and I escape back behind the stage to the other side because I know Dex will come off stage shortly and I want to be there when he does.
They finish up the song and my heart starts to flutter. Dex makes eye contact with me. His steel grey eyes penetrate me and cause me to shiver and my already heated sex to fire up. The little ball of nerves is on fire as he narrows his eyes at me. He’s on a rampage, but he’s not angry. He charges off of the stage first and Addison giggles as she passes him.
Excitement, terror and pure lust course hotly through my veins. I back up toward the wall, trying to put some distance between us before he crushes me. But I have no outlet, nowhere to go. Fuck, he knows this. I put my hands up in self-defense, but he smirks. Grabbing my wrists, he spreads my arms wide and then over my head, pinning me to the wall.
His lips crash hard onto mine. He smells like Dex, heady and sweaty, but it’s fucking sexy as hell. He steals my breath away the moment his tongue slides inside, seeking mine.
He abruptly pulls back, he is breathing heavy. “You.” Kiss. “Made.” Kiss. “Me.” Kiss. “Pop my stick.” Lick across my lips. “You made me lose my place.” He kisses me again. “You made me screw up.” I give him a wicked chuckle. “You naughty girl.”
“Think about what you just said.” I’m still laughing.
“Well, that is how fucking gorgeous you look tonight.”
“Shut up,” I tell him.
He pulls back.
“Shut up and fucking kiss me, you idiot.”
He smiles wider than I’ve ever seen him smile before and he presses his lips and sweaty body against mine and I’m completely and totally lost in his kiss. His lips, his tongue, his body pressed against me. His knee slides between my legs and I writhe against him and he groans. After a few more beats, he breaks the kiss. “We need to talk,” he whispers.
“Yeah, we do.”
“Stay?”
“Yes,” I breathe.
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
He slowly lets me go, like he knew I was going to be unsteady on my feet and he doesn’t want me to fall. Once I’m situated, he goes and grabs three bottles of water. He tucks one under his arm, then hands me one. I smile as we both open our bottles. He downs his in two swallows and immediately goes for the other one and downs that one equally as fast. I take a big pull off of mine and hand it over to him.
He smirks, takes it and drinks it.
“Gotta go,” he breathes. “Get back on the other side of the stage,” he says as a command.
‘Yes, sir.” He scowls at me, but then smiles and goes back on stage.

Stars – Shove Over Talon and Kyle, Dex Is Here!
Taming Dex can be read as a standalone or as part of
the series, I highly recommend reading the entire series, but you can dive in
to this one right away, if you’d prefer it!
“We all have our secrets, our own
demons, our highs and lows, the good and the bad, but in the end, there’s a
reason behind it all.”
I love rock star romances and when Zoey Derrick
decided to write an erotic rock star romance I knew it would become an
addiction for me. Taming Dex is the fourth book in the bestselling 69 Bottles
series. This book focuses on Dex Harris the uber talented, over confident and
cocky drummer for 69 Bottles. Whether you fell in love with this man from the
start or he just pissed you off with his antics, I can guarantee you that Dex
is about to run away with your heart.
“Fear creeps into my veins as I
realize that this man is inadvertently stealing my heart and running away with
my soul.”
Raine Montgomery has worked for Bold International
for years, even before Cami took over the company after her father passed away.
She has worked tirelessly with one goal in mind, climbing the corporate ladder
and succeeding in a career that she loves. Raine is Cami’s personal assistant
and she makes sure to go above and beyond everyday making sure that she shines and
Cami loves her for it. Raine is not immune to the rock star effect, in fact the
star of all of her wildest, naughty fantasies, is Dex Harris.
Dex Harris, drummer extraordinaire hasn’t met a
woman he’s willing to “see” more than once in years. Having never felt that
connection to any woman for longer than it takes for him to get himself
off. He’s firm believer in lovin’ em and
leavin’ them. He has outlets he uses to channel the pain that he feels every
single day, and since he’s a recovering addict, banging the hell out of his
drums, inking his skin, and enjoying the ladies have become his go to outlets.
This plan seems to work most of the time, until that day he crosses paths with
Raine.
“The last thing I see is visions
of Raine’s beautiful eyes staring straight into me. Crawling her way in and
shattering everything I thought I knew or understood about women.”
Instant attraction and red hot lust burn between
Raine and Dex from the moment they set eyes on each other. But Dex is not the
guy you go to for a relationship and Raine isn’t really a one-night stand kind
of girl. When they give into their deepest desires one crazy night, it becomes
very clear that the attraction is much stronger than either of them thought.
From this point on things get very intense. Dex is trying to figure out why he
cannot seem to rid Raine from his thoughts, and why his body craves a woman
he’s already had once. Raine is trying to avoid Dex at all costs and convince
herself that she’s over the fantasy of having Dex in her heart and bed.
“It is in this moment, this
unguarded, drooling like an idiot moment that I realize, in the end; I am going
to give in, I am going to talk to him, I am going to give him what he wants. Whether
it’s a one-night stand or something more. And I know that I’m the one who is
going to get hurt.”
Taming Dex is a bit different from the other books
in this series, the relationship that blooms between Dex and Raine is a tedious
and delicate balancing act that careens of the tracks more than once. Where
Addison, Talon and Kyle’s relationship became serious very quickly, Raine and
Dex are locked in a battle of denial and avoidance. What really drew me into
this story was the push and pull element that and a very strong emotional
undercurrent that simmered throughout the entire book. We get all of the heat
that has become a staple in this series but on top of all that we get the feels
as well. I adore this authors style of writing and have since the beginning,
Taming Dex is a great example of why. Super sexy, emotional, and extremely well
written, Zoey Derrick gives another
fantastic read, that not only makes you tingly in all the best ways, but also
makes your heart ache for the characters. Dex and Raine are going to light you up in all
the best ways, so be prepared and crank the AC before you even start this book,
because it’s about to very hot in here!
“I want to be the girl he kisses
before shows. I want to be the one he walks off stage to during their break, I
want to be the one he goes to bed with at night. It’s stupid of me to want
something that I know is impossible to have.”
