Hot Ticket: A Broken Rockstar Turns the Tables on a Dominatrix to Create the Perfect Harmony (Sinners on Tour Book 3)

**This is a joint review I did with Autumn @ Autumn Review**Hot Ticket Review ChatOn a scale of Trey, Reagan, Ethan, how hot was Hot Ticket?Andrea: I would say it's hotter. I would give it DT +1, because you have all the sexiness without the conflicting relationship dynamic. You have the good sex without the baggage. What about you?Autumn: Yes, I would say for me it was hotter in a way because there was no conflicting emotions, no added drama of the emotional undercurrent that was DT. The sex was equally hot, but it was truly about their relationship.Andrea: I was surprised too, because I didn't think anything would ever top DT.Autumn: Agreed. I was a wreck after DT.Andrea: Only the fact that you were here kept me from being a wreck with Hot Ticket.Autumn: Exactly.*both laugh*How do we feel about the timeline being concurrent with Rock Hard?Autumn: I really liked it because the fact of the matter is that this is a big group of people we're dealing with. So, it made sense that it would run parallel because multiple things are happening with that big of a group. It was a reminder to me of some of the things that happened in RH, since it's been so long since I've read it. And going from reading DT, being the last book and then going back to see the original order, it was nice.Andrea: It was almost like a reset. It was like; this is how it should be. I thought OC did a really great job, because Jace does meet Aggie in RH, but since it's not Jace's story, so you basically get Jace taking off all the time wondering why isn't he paying more attention to Trey. I mean, I forgot about him a lot because he was always gone and she did a great job because it was like RH, but Jace's story. A different point of view sort of. I loved how in RH, Sed and Jess walk in on Jace and Aggie and OC incorporated all of that. It felt goood reading it from this POV.Autumn: Yeah, I liked it.Ok, How surprised were you about Jace's past and Eric's influence on his life and how it impacted Jace's story?Andrea: Makes Jace a much more memorable character, because I've always liked him but he was easy to forget because he was so quiet and closed off. I always wondered about Eric's animosity and I always though it was because Jace replaced John. I always wondered why Jace was so willing to take Eric's animosity. I was very surprised that extra emotional aspect to the story. So, that's my answer.Autumn: Ok. Yeah, I well I have always liked Jace, so I was excited about learning more about why he was so quiet. I mean we knew he dabbled in the bdsm lifestyle, but we didn't really know the details or reasons why. There were some things I was surprised about as far as his past is concerned. I really liked learning about his connection with Eric, how he came into the band and his motivation for joining. I love him even more know than I did before.Andrea: For sure.What do we like the most about Aggie?Andrea: I loved that she knew how to give Jace what he needed emotionally to be able to let go of his past, but she acknowledged why he felt the need to feel pain. She knew what he needed and wasn't willing to let him push her away. And she knew how to break that s*** down.Autumn: I agree with everything you just said, but I also want to reiterate that while she broke him down, she never tried to change him. She didn't want him to stop, even though they were dealing with some of those issues, she wasn't trying to stop him from feeling that he needed the bdsm lifestyle. He needed it for a reason. She helped him work through the issues, but didn't try to change him.Andrea: She helped him embrace the pleasure with the pain.Autumn: Yes!Andrea: He needed both. She forced him to see that he was allowed pleasure. We are so smart.Autumn: Yes.*Laugh*Are there any plot points that could have been expanded on?Andrea: It's hard to say this without spoilers, there is a surprise connection between Brian and Jace that I felt could have been more of a bigger confrontation between the two at the end. I mean, I felt like it could have been a bigger resolution.Autumn: Agree. That was my biggest thing that could have been expanded on and I could have completely done without Aggie's mom. That could have been touched on without really added the mom as much in the story.Andrea: But, it provided for a few laughs.Autumn: It did. For sure.Andrea: Especially at the end.What was your favorite scene, moment, or both?Autumn: My favorite sexual scene would be the first scene between Jace, Aggie, and Eric. That was pretty hot. A close second, as far as the s.e.x. scenes go would be the second scene with Eric, Jace, and Aggie. That was pretty hot also. Then my favorite moment really made me Jace telling Aggie he loved her. That was pretty big.Andrea: That was a slow burn.Autumn: It was a slow burn and it really showed Jace in a more vulnerable way. I mean, this whole book, he's pretty vulnerable, but I think that he allowed himself to feel love finally. He accepted it and allowed it. Other than the smoking hot sex scenes.Andrea: That is a big moment. I would say my favorite moments that did not involve peen, I mean that was big and I loved it, but I really loved when the band and particularly Eric really started pulling Jace in and validated him. When they make music together and Eric acknowledges that Jace is one of the best bassist in the world, I really really, loved that. And, my favorite sexual scene is definitely both you mentioned. The first one especially. We hadn't seen Eric up close and personal since book 1 when he held Myrna for Brian. He brings a lot of humor. Anyway, I really like the scenes where Eric participates. I really want to talk about where he sticks stuff.Autumn: I wouldn't. That would be spoilery. That was a big moment.Andrea: I know. I know.Andrea: I do like when he's like "Your balls are touching my balls."*Both laugh*Andrea: So, yeah, sexual wise, the same as you.How do we feel about the group dynamic, which you just touched on?Andrea: I loved it. I loved how it was like everyone else then Jace. But that was partially Jace's fault. In a tight group that's been together for years, has a long-standing history, but I loved how that brought Jace into the fold. They're like brothers. Always teasing each other about sex, so yeah. I really liked there were no groupies. At this point they're really weren't any and I liked that because I don't like groupies.Autumn: My favorite thing about the group dynamic changing was that it really felt like they came together as a whole. I guess I felt like in the first few books; it was each guy had their own life separate from the band, they still have that but I felt like they really came together more as a family unit.Andrea: Everyone's taking care of everybody.Autumn: Yeah, so I think that was my favorite thing about the group.Ok, in order, the Sinner you would like to bone the most.Andrea: You go first.Autumn: Ok. My order would be. This might surprise you actually. My order would be Brian, Jace, Eric, Sed, and Trey.Andrea: Why Eric? I'm surprised.Autumn: I don't know. I think Eric is pretty sexy.Andrea: Yeah.Autumn: And until this book, my order was different.Andrea: What was your order before.Autumn: My order before would have been Brian, Jace, Trey, Eric, Sed.Andrea: My number one would be Brian or Sed. I know that's kind of an unpopular pick, because Sed tends to rub people the wrong way, but he tends to rub me the right way. And so, you know I like my men aggressive.Autumn: You need someone to take the leadership role.Andrea: I do. I'm not comfortable being the leader. I'm not. Ok so, you know what's really surprising is that I would think Trey would be near the top, but really I would go for Sed, Brian, Jace, Eric, and Trey. Because...Autumn: I'm surprised!Andrea: Why? What did you think I would pick?Autumn: I thought you would say Brian and Sed would be the top two, but then I figured Trey would be your third and then maybe Jace and Eric.Andrea: I just don't like competition from men.Autumn: *cracks up* me neither.*Both laughing*Autumn: I can't compete with the d*ck.Andrea: Trey is fantastic and he would probably be my favorite to hang out with, but...Autumn: He would be a great buddy.Andrea: It's hard enough fighting off all the women groupies, let alone the men groupies. So, yeah my list is surprising. I'll probably be one of the only people to say Sed. My number one choice.Autumn: No. I think there are people like Sed. I think a lot of the people that like Jacob (Sole Regret)Andrea: See, Jacob is my favorite.Autumn: I like Gabe. Gabe, then Jacob. I'm not crazy about Adam.Andrea: He's got a lot of baggage.Autumn: He'd be at the bottom of my list for those boys.Ok, last question: HT in five words.Andrea: Funny, sad, sexy, pain, and pleasureAutumn: Ok. HT for me would be sad, sexy, tragic, funny, and love.Andrea: Very good.Autumn: Ok, I think we're done.

4 starsThis was a very good story. I liked Jace and Aggie and their story was deep and emotional, dealing a lot with inside angst and not much outside drama.Aggie is a stripper and a Dominatrix. She deals out "corporal punishment" on men for very good money and does the stripping because she enjoys it. She hasn't had good luck with encountering good men (since she was very young) and it is what propelled her into being a Domme. She has an irresponsible mother and a father that wasn't around since before she was born so Aggie has had to fend for herself most of her life. She's certainly never found a man she'd trust in a relationship.Jace has a very tragic past. His mother blamed him for her own lost dreams and emotionally abused him for years. Then when she died in a car wreck, his father took out his rage on Jace, blaming Jace for all his problems. As you can see...Jace really lost the parents lotto. His father died when Jace was in his teens, in a way that had Jace blaming himself. Jace grew up in a mess of self hatred and guilt. Thankfully, he found something to give him hope...something to that made him want to become a great bass player so he could join his favorite band, Sinners. Years later, it actually happens.Although Jace has achieved his dream of being a bass player with Sinners, he's still consumed by inner pain. When it gets too bad, he needs to find release through physical pain. Sometimes fighting will do it but it's hard to fight without messing up his hands and/or getting in trouble with the police. What really helps him is to find a Domme to give him pain. He's not a submissive and doesn't get off on being humiliated but he needs the pain. When the story begins, there's some overlap with the timeframe of book #2 Rock Hard and they're at Brian's bachelor party. At the strip club, Jace sees Aggie (aka Mistress V) dancing and she notices him in return. There's some flirting and such and soon Jace is finding out that she's a real Domme and trying to set up an appointment for later. Unfortunately, their conversation is interrupted when some bouncers start giving some of the other band members trouble and there's a fight. Jace isn't able to finish talking to Aggie and she doesn't think she'll see him again. She's a little sad too because she was attracted to Jace in a way she hadn't felt for a man before. Jace isn't deterred though and comes back to find her and make arrangements to meet the next night.When Jace arrives for his session, Aggie is surprised to find that he's not submissive and it just turns her on more. She doesn't sleep with her clients so once she ends her session with Jace she declares herself done with him as a paying client because she wants him in bed. Jace is very much up for that but has some kinks that makes it hard to be with most women and he is nervous about what Aggie will think of him. They find that their kinks work well together though and they appreciate the things about each other that most people wouldn't. They end up seeing each other a few times before Jace has to leave town and they keep in contact once he leaves. Jace has never had much luck with people that were supposed to love him in the past so he's never sought a relationship. He fears them and isn't usually willing to consider anything lasting but he can't stop thinking about Aggie. Eventually they see each other more and their connection grows each time they do. Aggie starts to realize Jace's issues and slowly and carefully tries to help him through the minefield that is his past and emotions. Things don't always go smoothly and there are other external issues that have to be dealt with as well but I liked the way things worked out. Jace and Aggie do end the story starting a well deserved HEA.This was a very enjoyable story (in a very emotional way). I really liked Aggie as a heroine, sometimes she was almost a little too perfect but it wasn't bad. Jace was a wonderful damaged hero, so sweet and with so much love in him yet so doubting of his own worth, convinced that no one could care for him...you just can't help but want him to find true happiness. Jace and Aggie together just really worked for me, they fit each other perfectly. Overall, it was a very emotional but very good story. I'd recommend this story. :)* note - I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator did a good job.

BOOK REVIEW - Hot Ticket (Sinner on Tour #3) - Olivia Cunning Olivia Cunning takes the Sinners to an all-new level in this deeply compelling and heart-wrenching tale of one man's struggle to find closure and personal acceptance.This isn't just another Sinner's Book, Olivia really took the literally bull by the horns in this third instalment and touched on deeper and more disturbing of subject matters.I have been eagerly awaiting Jace's story, as, up until this point, we had only caught glimpses of his characterisation. He was the quiet one, the newer band member who hid and watched quietly within the shadows. From what we understand, he likes the darker side of sexual gratification, participating in strong elements of BDSM, with a desire for pain infliction; however, I didn't expect the direction that Hot Ticket would steer me in.This third book is the glue that melds this series together, enveloping the strong connection that bonds these hair-raising yet loveable rock stars to a whole new level, as four finally become five.Jace has a dark and disturbing past. Having been subjected to mental and physical abuse by his own parents' hands, his only salvation was music. Attending a rock concert at 15 changed Jace's life forever. Inspired by his favourite band, he finally knew the direction he wanted his future to take as he dedicated all his time and effort in learning the bass guitar, aiding to make his dream become a reality.Years later, he finds himself touring with one of the most successful rock bands in the States. Pinching himself regularly at his good-fortune, he knows these bunch of misfits had saved him, literally - steered him away from taking the lonely road of self-destruction. But, Jace isn't one to voice his gratitude.His elusive nature, has at times given the other's an open invitation for ridicule, especially Eric. Hoping that their easy bantering will open him up and help embrace the Brotherhood before him, not understanding why he decides to lurk in the shade. But... they can't know, they can never know who he really is, what he did, because if they knew, they may not accept the fact that Jace is Broken. Riddled with guilt, he lives in the dark, surrounded in Nightmares from a secret past he desperately longs to forget - as his pain inside consumes him, he substitutes his need to feel by paying for services that only a select few are trained to administer.After the initial meeting with Aggie in the strip club in Vegas at Brian's Batchelor Party, he accepts her offer as he takes a trip to her private dwelling, entering the confines of her dungeon.Aggie has never got involved with her client's. She is a strict professional Domme and that will never change, but there is something about the man in front of her, with his chocolate brown eyes and bleached blond spiky hair. Why does a man with the face of an angel, revel in pain so intense that it even exceeds her own comfort levels.Knowing there is more to the man in front of her, she makes it her mission to help unleash the pain that she knows dwells inside as she throws her inhibitions and moral high ground to the wind and gets to know her new client.Jace never wanted a relationship, but Aggie is the perfect distraction. Her Mistress V persona becomes a craving, an obsession as she offers him pain and pleasure beyond his wildest dreams. So, when feelings start to invade their professional pairing and Mistress V's persona takes a backseat to Aggie, the real women behind the façade, it throws Jace into all new territory as he struggles to cope with his past demons as plans for his spiralling future unleash further obstacles.*I cannot praise Olivia Cunning enough for her Sinners on Tour Series. They truly are a steadfast, rockin', sex-fuelled joyride with a hidden message. Brotherhood, family, acceptance and love play a huge part and what make these stories truly inspirational. As a fan of the Rock n Roll lifestyle, I can jump in and experience all the naughty escapades in the confines of my comfy armchair, and not feel guilty about a damn thing.I'm looking forward to Eric's story next, it will make a change watching his `action' from the sidelines - it's about time that boy got a front row seat!5-STARS.

OKAY OKAY.. Soo I thought that Master Sinclair and Backstage Pass would not be beaten on being my favourite book in this series... WRONG!!! I loved this book and the fact I was finishing it at 4am this morning would just reiterate how much I loved it!!I just could not put it down I just didn't want to stop reading about Jace. I knew from reading the other books that he was going to be something special and that there were going to be some up's and downs on the emotional roller coaster. I was right and Olivia Cunning did not disappoint. My heart broke more than once for Jace but at times it also soared for him.I love books that write about the importance of music when we are in an emotional state or need to escape. Whether it be playing or listening music is a saviour for so many of us and its is great when a book can translate that to us.This book is a fantastic story of self discovery and even more so self belief and thank goodness for Aggie is all I can say because that women risks it all sometimes out of sheer determination and love, but she is also a bad ass when required. What more could any man ask for.I thought that there wouldn't be to many places to go as we have had some much from Sed and Brian already but this book kept me just as riveted as the first two (if not more so) and I just didn't want to to end. But now I get to start Double Time and get me some Trey but I have to say after reading Hot Ticket I truly cannot wait for Eric 'Sticks' book because the way you go into this book feeling about him sure as hell is not how you come out!!Another 5/5 for me!!

Love this series, I am not going to write a description of the book as the one amazon has is enough I will say if you havent read trhis series start at book one go to book two then read this then read book three as the order they came out in is a bit of a mess and to be honest if the series wasnt as funny and sexy with such great storylines in each one and characters then I would be dropping stars as I liked to read my books in order, but I can forgive this as this series is soooo good, the bedroom scences are hotter than most erotic books and each book is an original in that area but I love that each book has a great story there are plenty of touching and funny moments all in all a great series any fans of cherise sinclair books or the master at arms series will love these, the story lines are not as heavy but the sex scences are as hot if not hotter, this series is a must for anyone who likes a hot funny erotic read love it and I cant wait for the next one

This is book three of the Sinners on Tour series and the best so far. This one is darker and has personal demons and secrets bursting out all over the place.That's not to say the other two were shallow, they were awesome.This time it is Jace's turn but we also find out what is happening with the others. I did find the first quarter equally frustrating and great in equal measures, frustrating because I knew what was going to happen as it was Jace's version of the tail end of book two but great because you get to understand his behaviour and it all slots into place.I have to say they are the most unluckiest band for blood loss though, seriously, how are they all still alive?Brilliant book.

I love the sinners books so I was looking forward to this book and I'm disappointed! It's no whenever as good as the others and this book repeats the last one (eg getting in to a fight in a strip club and what happens) we have already read what happs, this one is kind of boring comparing to the others it main focusnisnon his love of being beaten and smacked and falling in love with the woman who does this to him! The other books has exciting story-lines and things that happen. Despite the hype and long wait I feel it was written poorly compared to the others as if the author was stuck of a story line. Im still a fan of sinners books and I hope the next one is better written with,ore grasping dramatic story lines.
