My Favorite Book Boyfriend with Olivia Cunning and Giveaway


Combining her love for romantic fiction and rock 'n roll, Olivia Cunning writes erotic romance centered around rock musicians. Raised on hard rock music from the cradle, she attended her first Styx concert at age six and fell instantly in love with live music. As a teen, she discovered her second love, romantic fiction -- first, voraciously reading steamy romance novels and then penning her own. Growing up as the daughter of a career soldier, she's lived all over the country and overseas. She currently lives in Galveston, Texas.

It’s really hard to choose only one book boyfriend. I’ve come to realize that I must be a polygamist, but I did manage to decrease my list to two. They’re both tattooed bad boys, who are also artistic and sensitive. My favorite kind of heroes.sigh… They’re also pierced down below. What’s not to love?

My book boyfriends are the creation of author Cherrie Lynn: Brian Ross from Rock Me and Seth “Ghost” Warren from Leave Me Breathless. No, I could not choose one over the other. We have an exclusive ménage relationship, thank you very much.


Loving him couldn’t be worse than losing him. Could it?

Candace Andrews has had enough of pleasing others. In an act of birthday rebellion, she sets out to please herself—by walking into the tattoo parlor owned by her cousin’s ex-boyfriend. All she wants is a little ink, and Brian’s just the guy to give it to her.

As soon as she submits to his masterful hands, though, the forbidden attraction she’s always felt for him resurfaces…and she realizes the devilishly sexy artist could give her so much more.

Sweet, innocent Candace is the last person Brian expected to see again. She’s everything he’s not, and her family despises him. He doesn’t need the hassle, but he needs her, and this time no one is taking her away. Not even those who threaten to make his life a living hell.

Backed into a corner, Candace faces the worst kind of choice. Cave in to those who think Brian is a living nightmare…or hold her ground and risk it all for the one man who rocks her world.

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, naughty language, tattoos aplenty, family drama, a hot rock concert…and a bad boy hero who’s pierced in all the right places.

Purchase: | Amazon | Kindle | Barnes & Noble |


Leather and lace don’t strike sparks. Or do they?

It’s Valentine’s Day, but Macy Rodgers isn’t feeling the love. Aside from a torrid, one-night fling in a backseat a few months back, her love life has been sorely lacking, but fortunately she has devious friends who feel like playing Cupid. Wouldn’t they be shocked to learn that the match they’ve made for her is the same one that steamed up the back of that ’69 GTO…

Seth “Ghost” Warren has just returned to town after an extended absence. Between his grandmother’s failing health, his job as a tattoo artist, his band’s gigs, and a crazy ex that won’t leave him alone, he’s stretched thin. Cautious cowgirl Macy is the last thing he needs thrown into the mix.

She’s all country, he’s all heavy metal—and Macy knows that if anyone can propel her out of her rut, it’s Seth. But when their worlds collide, it’s anyone guess if they’ll survive with their hearts intact.

Warning: Contains explicit sex, graphic language, road trips, troublemaking exes, emotional baggage, and an unconventional but exceptionally hot hero tatted and pierced for your pleasure…

Purchase: | Amazon | Kindle | Barnes & Noble |

Not only do I love reading about sensitive, tattooed, bad-boy heroes, I write about them. My two most popular series—Sinners on Tour and One Night with Sole Regret—both feature sexy, tattooed rock stars that know how to rock a mattress. My most recent release is a prequel to the Sole Regret series called Share Me. This short novelette is currently available for only 99 cents and features two of my favorite rock star creations—Owen “Tags” Mitchell and Kellen “Cuff” Jamison. One of them is pierced for a woman’s enjoyment; the other is into the beautiful bondage art of shibari. During a snowstorm, two fangirls get trapped on the Sole Regret tour bus with the band. It’s a tale of one night of uninhibited passion, but sometimes life has a way of making trivial events turn pivotal in the lives of those involved... I’m not saying more. I don’t want to ruin any of the surprises in Sole Regret #4, Touch Me, which is coming out in May!


After a benefit concert, Lindsey longs to spend an amazing Christmas Eve with her favorite band, Sole Regret, to thank them for their generosity. Even though she followed their tour bus up a slick mountain pass during a blizzard, she never expected to spend an entire snowy night with two generous rock stars who love to share their gifts. Trapped on a tour bus with her best friend, a rock band, and the bus driver, what can these naughty ladies possibly do to keep warm? Perhaps a better question is what won't they do?

Contains a whole lot of kinky antics. Sensitive readers, beware.

  2. Never read these, but they sound great. I always have more than one book boyfriend, who can settle on just one? Vlad and Bones from Night Huntress, the Black Dagger Brotherhood (all of them, Raphael and his Seven from the Guild Hunter series, and the guys from the MIdnight Breed series. I am seeing a Paranormal trend here.

  20. Hi Olivia! I haven't read any of your books yet, sorry :(. I actually haven't read any rockstar romances yet, I know it's horrible, lol. I usually read Paranormal. I'm adding your books to my TBR.
    Thanks

  21. Thank you so much for showing that a hot Alpha Male with ink and piercings can be smart, well mannered, and successful. Also, females can or can not choose to have them as well and can be with those males all the same. So many people stereo type people with colorful "exterior" and I just really dislike that. I have ink /piercings and am smart, educated and a family person. My husband is the total frat guy look! I love reading your books. PLEASE keep them coming. I would love to have them all in print! xoxo

  38. I loved the first book in your Sinner on Tour series. I noticed you said you absolutely love tattooed bad boy rockers, both reading about them and writing about them. What band or musician is the one who gets your motor revving and inspires you to write?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I have the first Sinners book in my epic TBR queue of doom-- I think I'm going to dig it out and put it at the top now so I can read it as soon as I finish my current read!

  49. Not to sound trite, but Rock Hard literally rocked my world and I have been a HUGE fan ever since. The Sinners literally sent the blogasphere into shock and awe. My forever book boyfriend will forever be Rhage from the BDB, though. A handsome, big blonde with neon teal eyes.....have mercy.
