Marduk, Mesopotamian god of thunder, has been invisible for hundreds of years, his punishment for leaving an entire civilization to wither and die...all for the love of a woman. Now, the gods seem to be reaping a great deal of pleasure at his expense once again for it’s another little bit of a woman who has the power to make him whole. She lights his formerly passionless form on fire, but he'll have to battle more than the gods who placed him and his brothers in this purgatory to win her heart and her body. Some demons must be faced to be defeated, even if they are hers.
Tess has straightened her life out. That means no alcohol, no risk, and most of all NO MEN! But this god-like creature she first sees naked on the beach makes her forget the horrors wrought by another and consider the passion zinging through her veins. Can she take such a risk again without sacrificing her sobriety and her life?
MY REVIEW:
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE READ ANYTHING BY LJ VICKERY AND I AM GLAD I DID. ROCK ROCK IS BOOK 1 IN THE IMMORTALS SERIES. WHEN I STARTED TO READ, I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO EXPECT BUT FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE I WAS HOOKED. THE AUTHOR DRAWS YOU INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE END. YOU ARE NEVER BORED FOR ONE INSTANT. I LOVE THE STORY ABOUT INVISIBLE HOT GODS BEING PUNISHED BY OTHER GODS. YOU CAN'T HELP BUT DROOLING OVER THESE GODS. I DEFINITELY WANT TO LIVE CLOSE TO THEM. I LOVE THE CONNECTION AND ROMANCE THAT DEVELOPS BETWEEN MARDUK AND TESS. MARDUK NEEDS TESS. HE IS HER OTHER HALF THAT MAKES HIM WHOLE.
I LOVE THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN THE GODS. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY PICKING ON EACH OTHER AND THEY AUTHOR HAD ME LAUGHING AT TIMES. LJ VICKERY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB IN PROVIDING A DESCRIPTION OF THE HISTORIES OF EACH GOD. I TRULY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A BIG PARANORMAL FAN LIKE I AM.
ROCK HARD IS AN EXCELLENT READ THAT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE. I LOVE THE STORYLINE AND THE CHARACTERS. IT IS VERY ENTERTAINING AND THERE IS CONSTANTLY SOMETHING HAPPENING. THE GODS ARE ON ADVENTURE TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TESS AND THE GODS. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES. 5 STARS.
Biography
LJ Vickery began writing when the muses in her antique farmhouse refused to let her sleep. She found great joy and success in creating historical fiction, but then the gods in her Immortal series demanded to be heard. Heeding their pleas, she gave each of them a voice, a safe haven in the Blue Hills of Massachusetts, and of course, true love. Hot, hard bodied Mesopotamian gods and a contemporary United States make for a potent mix, and LJ hopes you enjoy reading the Immortal's stories as much as she has writing them.
When LJ's not scribbling away, she's practicing Chinese medicine, keeping books for a contracting firm, and growing organic vegetables.
She lives in a charming, seacoast town south of Boston with her husband, two children, a dog, two cats, and one intrepid fish...who refuses to let the fish-tank be retired.
