BLUE PHOENIX SPIN-OFF SERIES (RUBY RIOT) COMING SOON!
The first book in the Ruby Riot series, Cadence, will be released on November 5th!
Cadence Book Blurb (Ruby Riot, #1):
Tegan Hughes joins Blue Phoenix and Ruby Riot on tour, and drummer Bryn isn’t the only one who notices his little sister isn’t a kid anymore.
Jax Lewis is the guitarist for Ruby Riot and the band are rising to success. He’s hot property and loving every minute of his new found fame. Now, he’s on tour supporting Blue Phoenix and living his rock star life to the full. Until Tegan walks into his world and puts the brakes on.
Tegan Hughes is taking a year out and has her sights set on touring Europe with her big brother’s band. Blue Phoenix drummer, Bryn isn’t happy when his sister arrives unannounced at his hotel in Lisbon, but Tegan isn’t the type of person to take no as an answer.
With her big brother breathing down their necks, Jax and Tegan attempt to keep a handle on their growing attraction but that proves harder than they thought. Jax is used to getting whoever and whatever he wants and after kissing Tegan once, he knows one thing…he wants more.
But Tegan isn’t rock star girlfriend material. She has ambitions of her own and refuses to let anything stand in the way of her plans. And when Jax and Tegan’s relationship becomes public knowledge life becomes a hell of a lot more complicated.
Ruby Riot is a spin-off from the Blue Phoenix books but the two series can be read separately. All the Ruby Riot books are standalone.

BIO:
Lisa is an Amazon bestselling author of contemporary and paranormal romance. She is originally from the UK and moved to Australia in 2001. She now lives in Perth, Western Australia with her husband, three children, and Weimaraner, Tilly, who often makes appearances on Lisa’s social media.
Lisa’s first publication was a moving poem about the rain, followed by a suspenseful story about shoes. Following these successes at nine years old there was a long gap in her writing career, until she published her first book in 2013.
In the past, Lisa worked as an English teacher in France, as an advertising copywriter in England, and ran her own business in Australia. Now she spends her days with imaginary rock stars.
She lived in Europe as a child and also travelled when she left university. This has given Lisa stories which would sound far-fetched if she wrote them down, and maybe one day she will. These days, Lisa is happy in her writing cave, under Tilly’s supervision.

Unplugged
(Blue Phoenix #3) Liam and Cerys
Rock
stars, bacon sandwiches, secret holidays, smart girls, a Disney princess and a
scarlet haired rock chick. Isn't it time you met the Blue Phoenix boys?
The Amazon bestselling Blue Phoenix rock romance series is about
a UK rock band. There are six books in the series, three interconnected feature
lead singer Dylan and Sky and three standalones feature the other band members.
Check out the BIG SALE on the series. All books are available on
Kindle Unlimited.
This is book three of the Blue Phoenix series. It can be read as
a standalone but has minor spoilers for books one and two.
Blurb
"A
rock star, the girl from his past and a Disney princess. Find out what happens
when bassist Liam is ‘unplugged’ from Blue Phoenix."
Blue Phoenix bass player, Liam Oliver discovers pictures of his
fiancée with another man and his world crashes around him. He packs up his
humiliation and hurt and flies back to his Welsh family home for Christmas.
Cerys Edwards once had pictures of Liam Oliver covering her
bedroom wall. Her best friend’s big brother never gave her the time of day when
they were growing up. When she was fifteen, he left town leaving Cerys with her
fantasies. Now he’s back. The problem is, she has a daughter and a broken
relationship of her own.
In the world of his Christmas past, Cerys and Liam reconnect.
Are they two hurt people looking for comfort in a time of heartbreak or does
Cerys have a place in Liam’s future too?
Months later and unplugged from his Blue Phoenix lifestyle, Liam
reconnects with Cerys. He discovers Cerys’s world is full of complications he
never expected – including Ella’s father who isn’t happy about being replaced
by a rock star.
Unplugged is more than a rock star romance. Liam isn’t dark and
brooding like Dylan, or a messed up bad boy like Jem, but a fiercely loyal man
with a big heart. This is a story of love, family and unexpected bonds made
that can’t be broken.
****
1. Liam’s bassist hero and inspiration is Flea from
Red Hot Chili Peppers and I think this song sums up how he feels when he’s in
California watching his life fall apart and all he wants is to see Cerys again.
“The secret I’ve kept locked in my heart since Christmas
can’t stay hidden. Cerys touched me in ways Honey never did and there has to be
a reason why. If we’d really just been two hurt people looking for comfort, the
need to see her wouldn’t have obsessed my thoughts for the last two weeks.”
Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers

2. Cerys isn’t the only girl who steals Liam’s heart in this
book. He builds a snowman with Cerys’s daughter, Ella, although he’s not keen
on the song.
“I like you,” says Ella as she
watches Liam place the head on the snowman’s body.
“Why, thank you, little lady,” he
says in a false American drawl.
Ella suddenly hugs Liam around the
leg and he looks down in surprise before glancing at me. Now he’s out of his
depth as his arms hover over whether to hug the girl back or not. ~ Cerys in Unplugged

3. This is the book where we first hear Jem’s real name too and
more of a hint about Bryn’s weird sense of humour
“How’s Jeremy?” I can’t believe she still calls him this. Jem
hasn’t been Jeremy since he was in primary school, apart from if we want to
annoy him. If Bryn really wants to piss Jem off, he sings him the Pearl Jam
track of the same name. ~ Liam in Unplugged
Jeremy ~ Pearl Jam
4. This is also the first
book where Ruby Riot feature, as Liam takes Cerys on a date to one of their
local gigs. Ruby makes quite an entrance.
I’m interrupted by a girl arriving in the bar. ‘Arriving’ is a
mild way of putting the entrance of the tall, skinny girl. She crashes through
a side door and stomps in motorcycle boots across the room. Dressed in a short
black dress barely covering any of her long legs, the girl's hair shines
scarlet red as it catches the light of the bar. ~ Cerys in Unplugged
She’s Thunderstorms ~ Arctic Monkeys
5. Cerys is a long-time
friend of Liam’s sister and four years younger than him. When she hung out with
his siter, Louise, they used to listen to Blue Phoenix rehearse.
“Blue Phoenix rehearsed at Liam’s house. I got subjected to
their early stuff and believe me, it wasn’t good.”
“I don’t believe that! They’re an amazing band.”
“Once they started playing their own stuff, it improved.
Marginally. When you’ve heard ‘Stairway to Heaven’ rehearsed on repeat for two
hours, it doesn’t sound so good anymore.”
~ Cerys in Unplugged
Stairway to Heaven ~ Led Zeppelin
6. Well, there has to be a rock ballad…. I think this could be the song playing in the final
scene of the book too (no spoilers!)
“Every time you listen to my heart,
I want you to remember one thing. Until the day my heart stops, it belongs to
and beats for you – always remember that.”
Cerys burrows further into me,
pressing her face harder against my chest as if burrowing further into my heart
and soul. She doesn’t need to. She’s there, always.
I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing ~ Aerosmith
