Real Ugly (Hard Rock Roots-Book 1) by CM Stunich


Ummm….  Ok….  Ummmm   HOLY FUCK!  That’s about the extent of my review!   

Day’s after finishing, and I am still picking my jaw up off the floor!

No no – really, I’ll give a little bit more than that!

Ok so in Real Ugly, we go on tour with Indecency and their numerous support acts.  Their headline support act is Amatory Riot.  Lead Singer for Indecency is Turner Campbell, Lead guitarist in Amatory Riot is Naomi Knox.  Real Ugly is essentially their story.

Let me start by saying this book is RAW.  It is full of sex, drugs, profanity and hell, anything else that a rock star might indulge in. Do not read this if you want hearts and flowers – you have been warned!

Turner is so drug fucked pretty much every day that he has no idea of names and faces…yet Naomi triggers something in him!  BUT...  He hates her with a passion, and this is because he spends his life demanding respect, and she doesn’t give it to him in any way shape or form!

Naomi likes to dabble in all things that accompany the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, she is hard, passionate, and rough… and she absolutely hates Turner Campbell!

Considering how much they hate each other – when they are near each other the chemistry is intense, combustible and holy cow!
“Turner Campbell is an asshole.I fucking hate him.But I can't get enough either.He sings like an angel and fucks like a devil.If I could, I'd run away and never look back because to tell you the truth, I think this man might be the death of me. 

***

Naomi Knox is a bitch.I can't fucking stand her.But I can't stop thinking about her either.She looks like an angel and plays like a devil.If I could, I'd fuck her good and forget all about her, but to tell you the truth, I think this woman might be my last saving grace.”
Ok, so that little snippet gives you a taste of how brutal this book is!  

Naomi and Turner have history, only Turner doesn’t know about it nor does he remember their encounters.  This is what drives Naomi’s hatred for him.  Not that he doesn’t remember, but his actions at the time.

Anyway – this book is a love/hate story which explodes with a plot twist, the kind that in my perfect world Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds would investigate (just saying!)  Really though the twist is well..... pretty twisted!  And it keeps those pages turning without any worry.

Just be careful, if you take up the challenge and read Real Ugly, you will see that it is exactly that, real ugly, and it comes with a cliff hanger that has you going – what the fuck!  Don’t leave it here – NOOOOOOOOO!   It's also in print – CM Stunich does not apologise for the ending – just chalks it up to a ‘real ugly’ life experience!

I easily give Real Ugly 4 1/2 Hearts...
