4.5 stars

Bodyguard books are my favorite!! I love the whole mysterious, can't be found, protect me heroine that relies on her bodyguard to protect her. The meek female that just throws themselves at the feet of their bodyguard to take care of her. This Carly Phillips book? NOT THAT BOOK!

Ben Hollander now works for a "family" firm, Alpha Security, where he is contracted out to be a bodyguard. But this assignment is a little different. This assignment had personal connections to him. Having been a bodyguard on the set with the up and coming starlet, Summer Michelle, he'd found her hard to resist and had a fling, actually causing him to lose the job. However, the stars aligned and he was now to be her bodyguard.

Both Summer and Ben realize quickly the past is surely not the past and watching these two go at it was hilarious. Neither wanted to give, both being headstrong, and watching the fire fly kept me turning. I love the groundwork this laid for the series and can't wait for the next one!!

Review copy provided for a voluntary review.

I love second chance romance and Carly Phillips knows how to pull readers in from page one. This story is about Bodyguard Ben Hollander being assigned by his boss to protect pop star Summer Michelle. They have a messy past that spiraled out of control when Summer was a contest on a music reality show and Ben was on show security.

Now, a couple of years later, it’s between Summer and another artist to compete to be the opening act on a major concert tour. Ben’s assigned to protect her after threats were made against her life. He’s the only bodyguard available without an assignment, so he couldn’t turn it down. But he’s going to do everything he can to stay professional this time with Summer.

As Summer’s public appearance ramp up, so do the threats. Can Ben keep Summer at arm’s length and still protect her from the unknown? Or does he let himself fall, knowing that if she wins, Summer’s leaving for a long tour?

I highly recommend this story for any long time Carly Phillips reader or for someone who has not yet read anything from this amazing author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Crazy Cajun Book Addicts for an honest review.

What a fantastic start to this new series from Carly Phillips. It's a sweet and sexy second chance romance that will completely hook you until the very end. It's a fast paced story with fabulous characters you can't help but fall for.

Summer Michelle is an up and coming pop star, she's a down to earth young lady that works hard to hopefully make her dreams come true and she's in need of a bodyguard.

Ben Hollander has been given a new assignment, to keep Summer safe. Sounds easy enough in his line of work as a bodyguard, the issue is he fell for Summer along time ago and it almost ruined his career this time he's determined to keep it strictly professional and keep his heart out of it.

Will it be that easy for both of them when they still hold strong feelings towards each other?
Only time will tell!!

Definitely a must read in my opinion and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Ben works for Alpha Security as a bodyguard however he is less than thrilled with his latest assignment as the last time he guarded Summer’s body he ended up fired.

Summer is close to achieving her dream of being the opening act for a major entertainer however her main competition is also her nemesis and now she has started receiving threats and must have a bodyguard.

She is shocked to find out that her new bodyguard is none other than her bodyguard from four years ago. It ended badly when they got involved personally and someone reported the situation and he ended up fired and he refused all further contact from her. This time around he is determined to keep his distance and keep it business only but will he be successful and what happens when the assignment ends?

I loved the characters in the book as Ben is so protective and their chemistry is intense! I can’t wait for the rest of the books in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Carly Phillips is one of my go-to authors. Whenever I see a new book out by her, I usually don't even have to read the blurb to know what I'm in for: a fast-paced story filled with good characters, an interesting plot and lots of sexy times. Rock Me is no exception. This one actually adds a bit more intrigue, but then, it is about bodyguards, so it's to be expected. And let me tell you, this is one bodyguard I'd love to have around. I absolutely loved Ben! He was such a good character, so solid and sexy and I really loved his story line. But for probably the first time in a Carly Phillips book, I was kind of aggravated by the heroine. I really didn't like Summer that much. I thought she was a little too self-centered, but I guess that's to be expected considering her line of work. She did redeem herself in the end, so there is that, but she really drove me kind of crazy throughout. Other than that, this was another fun book by a favorite author and I can't wait to read the next one!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Typical romance with a few twists throughout.

After being introduced to the characters, I couldn't help but fell sad for Ben. He'd already lost Summer once. Now, they find each other again only to know that there is a definite end to their relationship. No matter what they say, they can't keep their hearts out of it. Ben doesn't want to be the reason Summer doesn't live her dream so he gives up his dream and lets her go.

Obviously, it's a HEA, but I have some questions: what happened to Ben's father? Did he get sober or did Ben have to completely cut him off? What happened with Summer's relationship with her parents? Did they rejoin as a family or continue on their separate ways? And finally, what happened with Tawny Renee? Did you succeed or fade away? Did Michael go to jail or beat the charges and continue his slimy ways?

Overall, it was a quick read that had a happy ending. Looking forward to Tempt Me.

Rock Me was my favorite kind of romance--a second chance romance. Ben is a bodyguard who met Summer when he was working on and she was competing on a televised talent show (ie American Idol). They weren't supposed to mix business and pleasure but just couldn't help themselves but it ultimately cost Ben his job. Misunderstandings led Ben to blame Summer for his firing and he moved on without her. He is now working for a new company and much to his dismay he is back guarding Summer while she competes against an old rival (and troublemaker) to be an opening act for one of the hottest rock stars on tour. Carly does a wonderful job writing the chemistry between these two and the way the past is handled brings the reader up to speed without slowing the story down. Ben vows that he won't let Summer in too far and that he won't hold her back from her dreams--but what if letting her in is the way for both of their dreams to stay alive and come true?

Summer Michelle is a pop star. Ben Holland is the bodyguard hired to protect her. They have a history, until he was fired when people found out they were together. They get another chance to be together.
Summer is in a competition with just one other singer to become the opening act for a famous pop star on a world tour. The same girl who they think outed them the first time. She has been threatened, so Ben is hired to protect her until the winner is announced. Ben moves into her apartment because she has no security at the front door. Due to their past, they get together pretty quickly.
We do find out who was threatening her and why they wanted her to leave the running. Of course she wins, it is a book about her.
SPOILER ALERT - Ben asks her a very important question at the end of her final show.
This might be the book where Carly dips her toes into erotica, this book is a lot steamier than any of her previous books.

Many years ago when Ben was working as a security guard on the sets of a hit television show, he met Summer, one of the shows up and coming stars. They had an intense affair that ended badly.
Now Summer is one of the contenders to perform the opening act for a pop star and as a result has received some threats. Ben is assigned as Summers body guard and it's a 24x7 job. With attraction still as strong as ever, if not stronger, will he be able to keep things professional ?
Rock me was a fast and intoxicating read. It was a book that kept me hooked from the beginning. The chemistry was off the charts hot. I loved all the characters and can't wait to know what happens with the rest of them.

A new series with some new DELECTABLE and HOT main men and the strong as nails women to fall in love with...What do I say??? DUH, YESSSS PLEASE!!!! I'm telling you I do not think there is one thing this author could publish that I would not love. Ms. Phillips is without a doubt a one-click author for me. Like I never even read the blurb before buying, I just buy it. And opening up a new Carly Phillips book is like opening a Christmas present. I never know what I am going to find, I just know it is going to be good. Rock Me with Ben and Summer was definitely a great start to a new series. I love both characters so much and did from the very beginning. I look forward to seeing the new developments of all these new characters. Easily a one day read. And that Epilogue....What a great lead in to the next book!! Can't wait. I just hope she writes very fast!!

Review by Tabitha

This is the first book in Carly Phillips new series featuring Alpha Security. Rock Me introduces us to Ben but gives us a little overview of all the men and women at Alpha Security and the family Dan, the boss has created.
Ben and Summer have met before when he was her body guard on a music reality TV show. Things happened he got fired and hasn't spoken to her since...now here is faced once again with guarding her and the sparks fly... these two light up a room with their chemistry.
Ben takes his job seriously, he knows there is some hidden danger as little things start to happen around Summer when she puts in appearances trying to win a competition to tour with the famous Jade Glow, but can he figure it out in time as the mishaps get bolder and uglier.
Hang on for the steamy scenes, action, verbal sparring and family dynamics that make the heart smile.

Summer and Ben are a great match. They come together after being apart four years and ending under a cloud of bad blood and misconceptions. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them come together and realizing that the feelings they had were still there and stronger than ever. Ben has justified trust issues and feels like Summer betrayed that trust in a big way. Summer knows there is more to the story than what actually happened when they parted ways so she takes the bull by the horns and makes Ben talk about it. Once the whole story is revealed they begin to explore their relationship once more. Watching them rekindle their relationship and learn to trust again was amazing, throw in some stalking and some overprotective friends and you have a great book. Great writing, steamy love scenes and some intrigue make this a great read. Looking forward to the next book.

Great fun second chance love story from Carly Philips. Follow Ben and Summer on a journey filled with some mystery and danger as this bodyguard will do whatever it takes to protect his client. Once upon a time, Ben gave Summer all he had, mixing business with pleasure and paid a large price, his pride and his job. Now with a new career in a different company he is once again called upon to be Summer's bodyguard as she has received some threats in a competition she is in that could launch her singing career as opening act for a very popular pop star! Ben feels the heat as soon as he sees Summer again and before long he finds himself in the same place he was years ago, mixing business with pleasure knowing in the end he will have to give her up again for the sake of her career after the mystery is solved. Only this time when he tries to push her away he can't quite make it stick and finally they get their happily ever after!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)...

This is a sweet second chance romance novel. Ben and Summer have a very interesting past, but now that they are working together, can they remain professional?

I loved Ben and Summer's relationship, it was so real and untouched by Summer's career. Summer is not your typical up and coming diva which makes it harder for Ben to keep things professional. As much as Ben is distracted by Summer, he is hired for a reason and that reason seems to be someone wanting Summer out of the competition that would make her famous.

I enjoyed the book, although there were some parts I felt dragged a little. I would love to know what happened with Ben's father.

I can't wait to read Austin's book, seems we have a little action between the bodyguard and the nanny ;)

What a wonderful second-chance romance! I love bodyguard stories, love those protective alphas and their complete control of any situation. Ben lost his previous job for getting involved with Summer, and he's determined not to make the same mistake again. But he's got to protect Summer in close quarters, and even though she's focused on her career she's also affected by being so close to Ben again and wanting a second chance with him.

Carly Phillips is a one-click author for me, and this one is one of her best yet. The book is captivating and fun, there's plenty of steam, lots of action, all on a strong foundation of love. I absolutely love her writing style and the way she thoroughly develops the characters. I was completely absorbed by the story and couldn't put it down until I was done. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

What a great new series from Carly Phillips! Rock me is the first book in her new Bodyguard Bad Boys series and it was such a great book that I can't wait to see what the rest of the series will be like!

In Rock Me, bodyguard Ben Hollander is assigned to be a bodyguard for up and coming singer Summer Mitchel. Summer is getting threats when she enters a contest to be the opening act for a popular star, and Ben is there to keep her safe. The only thing is, Ben and Summer have a history and Ben is doing his best to stay professional. But can he resist the sexual tension they both feel and keep her safe?

This book was hot hot hot! I could not put it down, it was full of the romance you expect for a great novel as well as being steamy and entertaining. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves bad boys and fun, sexy romance.

This is a second chance romance for Summer and Ben who split years ago in a messy and forced why. Summer was trying to win a singing reality show and Ben was get bodyguard. Summer and Ben soon started a passionate affair and Summer's rival Tawny for the show told the producers of the affair hoping to get Summer booted off the show but ended up costing Ben his job and for the last few years he has blamed Summer. Summer is up against Tawny again for a world tour spot and due to some threats against Summer she needs a bodyguard again! Ben reluctantly takes the job and has a head time fighting their chemistry and tamping down on his jealousy. Sparks fly, suspense is present, will they get past the past, can the get through to the future they desperately wont but cant find the trust in their feelings? Another fantastic must read from Carly Phillips!

Fabulous beginning to a new series for Carly Phillips. This book is about a second chance at love for Ben and Summer. They mey years ago and their relationship had an unusual ending.
They come together again under forced circumstances but it doesn't take long for old feelings to resurface. Ben especially tries to hold back as he doesn't want to be hurt again. But he can inly tamp down his feelings for so long.
This book had some great suspense, and I was definitely shocked with how the conflict in this story actually played out. I so didn't see that outcome happening.
This is hands down to me her steamiest book yet.
Fabulous story with wonderful characters all wrapped up into a story only this brilliant author can write.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book

This contemporary romance was a quick and easy read for me but very enjoyable. It was a second chance story and I am a fan of the genre in general.

Ben and Summer had a past romance that ended badly. So their reunion as bodyguard and client is tension filled. But the tension is just as much due to repressed desire as well as past misunderstandings and hurt.

Both characters are really likeable. The more I read about their individual stories, the more I felt for them and wanted everything to work out.

This was the beginning of a new series and I feel like it was a very promising start. The plot and flow, the main and secondary characters, the good wrap up and set up for the next book, it all was really good. I look forward to reading the next.

Carly Phillips (Rocked Me) with this book...started last night and I'm done already...I'm sorry to leave Ben and Summer..What a great second chance romance...funny..touching..add a little danger and a lot of HOT....I am looking forward to TEMPT ME..Austin's story..the bodyguard and the nanny.. I'm am never disappointed when Carly tells a story..

Loved Ben and Summer’s second chance at love story! Ben and Summer have a past… She is a songstress and he is a bodyguard. He’s been her bodyguard before, and the chemistry between them was so real that they began a forbidden love affair. Ben was then ousted and lost his job. He never looked back thinking he had been betrayed by Summer. Years later, through another bodyguard agency, Ben is again hired to protect Summer. Quickly the misunderstanding is cleared, but will they let the still existing chemistry flourish… or will they strictly do their jobs and not give each other a chance at love? Beautiful characters, touching story, hot love scenes… loved it!! I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ADVANCE READER COPY OF THIS BOOK.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. Another wonderful book by Carly Phillips. All of her books are so well written with amazing characters and this one was no exception. Ben is a bodyguard assigned to protect the girl who he believes betrayed him and broke his heart four years ago. Summer is a singer in the running to become the opening act for an international superstar during a world tour. She is receiving threatening messages and is surprised to find out that the man who ruined her for all other men and abandoned her has been assigned to protect her. Ben and Summer soon discover that their attraction for one another is still strong and undeniable. This book grabbed me and I could not put it down.

Great story, well developed characters, story flowed smoothly and kept my interest from beginning to end. Summer Michelle is an aspiring rock star hoping to hit it big in the music industry. After some sketchy things happen her agent hires a bodyguard, Ben Hollander, to shadow her. They have a history that did not end well and they both try to move forward and keep things civil between them but as they spend more time together they find themselves attracted to each other again or still. But neither is in a position for a long term relationship. I have read many of Carly Phillips books and have yet to find one I did not like. "I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book."

Ben and Summer had an intense relationship when Summer was a contestant on a music reality show and Ben worked for the show. Things went south when Ben was fired over the relationship. Fast forward a few years and Ben has been hired to be Summer's bodyguard.

I liked this book, even though I wanted to smack the two of them occasionally. They were so concerned with what went wrong before to realize the solution was actually quite easy! I was gratified when the solution I had as I read the book was the one suggested during the "ah-ha" moment!

As always, Carly Phillips has produced a well-written, interesting book that catches your interest and keeps it until the end!

The last time Ben saw Summer, the talented singer, he was being fired from her protection detail for having inappropriate relations with her. Fast forward a few years and once again he finds himself as her bodyguard. But with the sparks that instantly fly again ruin his career, or will this time be the beginning of the rest of their lives together? With great characters and a high intensity plot, this story should not be missed. I am so looking forward to more of this series.

Ben can sometimes give a girl whiplash, “I do. I need distance. I just effing … can’t.” And then his mouth was on hers, hard and demanding." Ben enjoys making sure his girl is taken care of, "He met her gaze, a knowing grin on his handsome face. “No, princess. Not for that. You need to rest this time.” She pretended to pout and he laughed. “Come on.” Ben escorted her upstairs and literally tucked her into bed." I liked this book, I fell in love with Ben.

This is the story about Ben Hollander and Summer Michelle. Ben works for Alpha Security as a bodyguard. Summer is a singer who is vying for a spot to tour with a big name singer through a contest.

Ben and Summer had been in a past relationship. Ben gets assigned to keep Summer safe because someone is trying to sabotage any chance of Summer winning this contest. The chemistry between them is still off the charts. They try to fight it but love always wins. There is some family related angst woven into the story too.

I thought this story was a little on the sweeter side with some sexiness and mystery to it. It was a very enjoyable read for me.

I love new series from authors I love reading. This is another one that does not disappoint.

Ben is another sexy alpha male. Summer is a hot rock star. When the two come together you get nothing but sparks.
Ben and Summer are not meeting for the 1st time. No, they not only have met before but have also been together. Unfortunately, there relationship ended on a bad note, a very bad note.

Ben is “back on the case” of being Summer’s bodyguard. But with all that has happened in their past can they rekindle and forgive or will this be another “what once was”. Guess you will have to read it to find out. But trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed this new series by Carly Phillips!! This is the story of Ben and Summer. Ben is assigned to protect Summer from threats she has been receiving as of late. They have a history and Ben is determined not to let that affect his job no matter how tempting Summer is to him. He tries his hardest but even him can't fight fate. The chemistry is still there and still smoking hot. I was rooting throughout the story for them to get their second chance at love.

I highly recommend this story to everyone and I can't wait to read the next installment of the series. Well done!!!

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Rock Me is the 1st book in a new series by Carly Phillips and again she did not disappoint! Awesome read! !

Ben Hollander and Summer Michelle have a history that got Ben fired from his job years ago. Now he works for a security/bodyguard company and when given his assignment he find he has to protect Summer again…wanting out of this detail is not happening as there is no one else available. Can Ben protect Summer from who is trying to take her out and keep his heart out of the equation or will they find that their history will bring them full circle for a second chance at love and a HEA???
