Shuffle (Ruby Riot #2)

Lisa Swallow


BLURB:

Will Campbell, Ruby Riot bassist, is back at university and failing badly at everything apart from partying.

With Ruby Riot on a break, Will returns to university to finish his degree. He needs major help if he wants to pass his final year and attempts to join a not-very-rock star study group. Will is horrified to discover the person organising the group is Fleur Roberts, the girl he’s secretly crushed on for two years and who recently threatened him with a restraining order.

Fleur’s rock stars are history academics. She has no interest in any variety of pierced, tattooed slacker, especially not the jackass rock star who humiliated her at a party. There’s no way in Hell that Will Campbell is joining her group.

Faced with losing the easiest way to fix his academic problems, Will has the perfect solution: pretend he’s his twin, Nate. Will and Nate have swapped identities before so nothing can go wrong. Surely.

Fleur is successful academically, but her love life is a failure. Following a number of disastrous dates, she finds herself falling in love with a guy who is lying to her. But Will’s deceit isn’t the only thing about to shatter her world. When another man Fleur trusted betrays her, and she attempts to retaliate, Fleur discovers how dangerous he is. And when Will becomes involved, the repercussions threaten both of their futures.

Shuffle is the second standalone book in the Ruby Riot series and can be read separately to the first book.



REVIEW:





I absolutely loved this book! I laughed, sighed, cheered, cried and swooned my way through this gorgeous fledgling rockstar romance!

Knowing how much I love Lisa Swallow’s style, I put the rest of my day on hold before I started this book, and just as well I did. Shuffle hooked me from the first page and I couldn’t put it down.

The things I thought I knew about Will were challenged in this book. A guitarist in a rising rock band, having let the first taste of stardom go to his head, he’s still a bit of a bad boy, a heartbreaker, a tad conceited, and oh so swoonworthy. But who knew he had harbored these deep emotions and was such a kickass, fiercely protective man? Will is adorably unfiltered and doesn’t try too hard to hide his feelings… but he does hide his identity, which causes big problems. 

Fleur is definitely no fangirl pushover, and doesn’t let Will get the best of her. On the surface she doesn’t seem like a possible match, but the balance between these two is utter perfection.

Lisa Swallow has the seemingly unfailing ability to write addictive, captivating characters in fictional worlds I wish I could live in. I still have a book hangover from this book that perhaps only Nate’s story can fix!
