Title: Roxy
Series: Pandemic Sorrow #3
Author: Stevie J. Cole
Release Date: April 7, 2015
Synopsis
My life had been no fairy tale. Actually, growing up, it had been something more like a nightmare, which is why I ended up so hard. When you don't want to hurt having the ability to be numb is your best defense mechanism. And for a long time all I was doing was existing.
Jag Steele, the lead singer of the international rock band Pandemic Sorrow, was the epitome of everything I despised: arrogant, entitled, but the thing I hated most about him was that he was an addict. Drugs had been the demon that had ruined everything in my life, and anyone who had a love affair with them pretty much made my stomach turn. It brought up memories I wanted to stay buried. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly a fan of Jag.
Funny thing is, people aren't always who you expect them to be. Never in a million years would I have thought the night I meet Jag would have any significance on the rest of my life, but it did.
I found out that sometimes something that screams utter destruction might actually be your saving grace. Some people may say our story is too screwed up to be a romance, but for two broken people, we made the pieces fit together perfectly.

My Review
Roxy by Stevie J. ColeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Roxy by Stevie J. Cole is the third book in the Pandemic Sorrow series but can absolutely be read as a stand-alone.
Roxy has had a terrible horrible childhood and has closed herself off absolutely in her adult life. Once you know the circumstances you'll understand why she keeps herself so tightly protected.
Enter the drugged out rock star, Jag Steele, and her walls start to crumble no matter how tightly she holds on to them.
Told solely from Roxy's POV this story is her version of book 1, Jag. The story is dark and emotional in a way that will cause your heart to clench for Roxy and her plight. I don't want to give away any plot points plus if you've read Jag, then you know the outcome of all the separate events, but again, from a totally different perspective.
I was blown away by this story and will definitely be reading more from this author.

Author Bio
I love writing
(obvious since I'm on here, right?) I don't have a specific genre - I just write
whatever story manifests itself inside my brain.
Writing is like therapy. There is nothing else that I can lose myself in the way I can a story. It amazes me that words can take you away from reality and leave you in a dazed state once you've finished.
Aside from writing, I love sloths and mythology. I kind of have a thing for vampires, because let's face it, something about the fact that they fight the urge to bite your neck and drain the life from you is rather sexy. I have an irrational fear of the zombie apocalypse. I honestly cannot imagine a more horrifying way to go than by being ripped to shreds by a mass of mumbling, decaying, and oozing corpses with clicking teeth. Ugh! I just shuddered typing it.
Now the boring basics: I'm married with two wonderful children. I grew up in the south listening to a ton of grunge rock. Me and my sister have an obsession with going to concerts and getting front and center. We often fight over who can get the most swag from the band. I have an unhealthy obsession with Russell Brand's mind, and the smell of crayons is the most soothing smell there is.

I hope if you read my work that you will enjoy it. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick of all... it puts the reader in the mind of the writer (kind of creepy if you think about it). It's scary inside my brain, watch out!
I hope you love my little worlds as much as I do.
Xx- Stevie J
