The Rocker's Muse

By: Penelope Ward

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Connor Crais

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.

Lovable characters and great story

I am not usually into age gap of this much but this story was so amazing and the characters so lovable and special that it was easy to see past that. Besides, Penelope Ward wrote it so it is so well done. That and the fact that Tristen cares about their age difference and tries to fight his feelings for Emily for a long time. The narration is fantastic! It really brought the emotion to life for both Tristen and Emily. Loved it and cannot wait for Atticus!!

Serendipity

Tristan is a famous rock star with an instant attraction to Emily, they had a deep connected. Emily was hired as a temp while his band was touring the states. Slow burn. Emily lost someone she loved and now was trying to do the right thing. Very enjoyable, no cheating or angst and some tears. There is a huge twist I didn’t see coming and loved that journey. HEA. The epilogue was phenomenal. Narrators did a fantastic job.

WOW!

I can't even express how much I enjoyed and loved this story! I laughed and cried and just couldn't get enough of Tristan and Emily. Plus this is the first audible that I've had the pleasure of listening to Connor Craise...OMG! He has now been added to my favorite male narrators along with Sabastian York and Zachary Weber! And, of course, Andi Arndt is my absolute favorite female narrator! Well, done Penelope! So excited for Atticus' story in February. Thank you for never disappointing me. ❤❤❤

Loved this story & narration so much!

This story way exceeded my expectations in so many ways! Please do yourself a favor and get this book! You won’t be disappointed!! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

That was so good!

I wasn’t sure what to expect as Ward is known for exploring forbidden romance. Boy, am I glad I read it. First, the narration is superb. The narrators are incredible and the editing and production was seamless (no weird pauses or background noises). The story is so good and the twist was just chefs kiss. I had no idea where things were going, which kept me glued to the book. The FMC seems way more mature than her years but once she explains her past you can see why. I loved this book! 10/10!

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!

Amazing!

What an amazing story and turn of events! Their love story is so swoon worthy and just true true heart warming. This book is a must read!!!

Emotional
