Description

When faced with a dangerous new rival, the lead singer of the music group the Noble Lords is forced to place his singing career in the hands of a sexy widow. 

Lord Reid Follett enjoys all the lustful benefits that come from being a war hero on the battlefield at Waterloo. Every woman in London wants to bed him. And Reid is never a man to disappoint a lady.

But the gloss of winning the war is starting to fade. Reid and his friends find themselves being challenged by a new group of talented Italian musicians who are taking their place in the hearts and bedrooms of the wicked women of the ton.

England's bad boys must rise to the occasion and take on these interlopers at their own game. With Reid as their conductor and baritone the Noble Lords Quartet is born.

But Reid's singing ability, does not match his ego and he soon discovers that in order to win he is going to have to put aside his pride and take singing lessons.

Widowed mother of one Lavinia Jones is the perfect teacher for him. Discrete, and ready to do his bidding. The fact that she is a dark-haired temptress is simply a bonus. Reid intends to use her to get what he wants, then he will toss her aside.

Lavinia however, is no push over and Reid soon discovers that she is the one holding all the power in their relationship. Without her guidance he will never be able to master the right note and go back to his seductive ways.

The closer they work together, the less they can resist one another. A fiery sexual encounter leaves them both wondering just where the music stops and where the heart takes over.

But Lavinia has a secret past of her own, and Reid finds himself suddenly facing his own jealous nature when it comes to the woman who has stolen his heart.

Reid is a standalone book in the Noble Lords series.

    I finally finished this story. I tried for over 4 or 5 months and couldn't get into it. Then about 10 chapters in i couldn't put it down. The language is what I think kept me out of it.

    Reid Follett, Owen Morrison, Kendal Grant, Callum Sharp are war heroes, rakes of the first order, handsome, and quite good with the ladies. That is until a quartet of handsome and talented Italian musicians comes to London. All of a sudden, Reid and his friends are being outmaneuvered by the newcomers when it comes to the winning the attention of the ladies. What to do? The four friends are not without musical talent, so they decide to form a quartet of their own. The Noble Lords, their band, is formed to compete with, and hopefully outdo the Italians, with their music and with the ladies. Will they succeed? In this first book of Sasha Cottman’s new series, we meet the friends and learn a bit about them and their situations, setting up the other stories in the series. Reid’s story is a delicious treat. Told from his point of view, it is engaging, has a good dose of drama, and is laugh-out-loud funny. The characters interesting and likeable. The men are talented and arrogant, honorable and caring. Eliza, Reid’s sister, and Lavinia, his singing teacher, are intelligent, independent, and tough enough to handle and take care of the boys in the band. Jonathan, Lavinia’s young son is an absolute delight. Don’t let the snarky banter between Lavinia and Reid fool you. The chemistry between them is white hot, and they are perfect for each other. This is a great start for a new series. I really enjoyed Reid’s story and happily recommend it. Regency Rockstars promises to be quite entertaining. What fun to watch the rakes of the ton become the bad boys in the band. Owen is next. Can’t wait.

    Reid is book one in Sasha Cottman’s Regency Rockstars series. When I first got the book, I thought the title was rather ludicrous. “Regency Rockstars” brought a picture of Kiss in cravats and top hats to mind. After reading it, I understand the pun. Four men form a musical group to woo women of the Ton into their beds. But when they find their competition winning more of the fairer sex, the lead singer Lord Reid Follett realizes he needs to improve his vocal performance. So Reid seeks out a voice teacher. But his world is turned upside down when the teacher ends up being a beautiful woman. I enjoyed this book. There are quite a few sex scenes sprinkled throughout. I think Cottman does a good job of developing Reid’s character. I also liked the way she weaves actual history into her story - mentioning the eruption of the volcano Mount Tambora and its effects on the economy in England in 1815-1816. I am looking forward to the next book in this series: Owen.
