Synopsis
Book 3 in the NEW ADULT rockstar series, LOST IN OBLIVION
Only one woman has ever refused him…and she’s the only one he wants.
Now that he’s successful beyond his wildest dreams with his band Oblivion, Simon Kagan is happy to enjoy his all-access pass to the groupie train. After getting more fists in the ribs than hugs growing up, he discovers having a warm female in his bed is an easy way to escape the loneliness.
Until Margo.
From the moment the classy, buttoned up violinist entered his sphere, he knew she was different. After one amazing night in the studio, he feels like he’s finally connected with someone on a deeper level–only to have her walk away without a backward glance.
As a member of the Boston Symphony orchestra, Margo Reece’s life revolves around the regimented structure of a second chair violinist.

She walked away afterward because that’s what she was supposed to do.
And Margo always does what she’s supposed to.
Until Simon.
When she’s called on again to blend her sound with Oblivion’s, she has to make the decision to play it safe or let her wild side free.

Tracey’s Review
Simon Kagan, lead singer of the group Oblivion, is living the life. As the band rockets to fame, he’s loving life in the limelight and all that it brings. The one bump? Margo Reece, the girl that got away. Margo, oldest daughter of a proper New England family, has always done the right thing. Until Simon, that is, and an encounter that neither one can forget. Recently dismissed from her position with the Boston Philharmonic, she finds herself working with Simon and the rest of the band, and with the way that the sparks fly between these two, things are about to get very hot.
I am an absolute sucker for books about hot rockers, and Taryn Elliot and Cari Quinn do these like nobody’s business. The Lost In Oblivion series has all the things that are good with this trope, and are, like the rest of their books, some of my favorites. Simon and Margo seem like an unlikely pair, with all of the differences between them, but the heat that they generate is off the charts. I mean, seriously combustible. And the more time that they spend together, the more the inevitable changes start to creep in, and, before you know it, I’m over here swooning.
“But everything felt bigger here in this tiny space. As if she couldn’t get away from him, or more importantly that she didn’t want to.
She squeezed his fingers. “Simon, I need…”
“You need what?”
She was so empty.
The thought of telling him that was so huge and so scary that she shut it down.
She didn’t own him. Had never owned him, she was only borrowing.
“I’m yours.”
Her eyes flew open and he gazed at her without fear and without a lick of hesitancy.
“I’ve always been yours, Violin Girl. I’ve just been hoping you would take me.”
I was in a puddle. Just done. These ladies know just how to craft words, to create a story that will create no small amount of feels, and keep me thinking about it long after.
As they are wont to do, Taryn and Cari have left us with one heck of a cliffhanger, and August seems much too far away for the next chapter for Simon, Margo, and the rest of the band. I happily give Destroyed 5+ ‘oh, my gosh, I am SO happy, but wait, oh, no you didn’t’ stars, and urge you to add it and the rest of the Lost In Oblivion books to your TBR. They’re a wild and sexy ride that you definitely don’t want to miss.

The Lost In Oblivion Series
Rocked – Book 1
Love definitely wasn’t on the setlist.
Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she’s offering on her serving plate.
As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He’s far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.
Apron – and panties – optional.
When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can’t walk away. Deacon’s so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase…even if she’s starting to think what she’s building with him might be the biggest one of all.
You met Deacon McCoy in SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.

Twisted – Book 2
He’s always saved her. Now she’s going to return the favor…
Gray Duffy never thought he’d end up as the co-lead guitarist of Oblivion, one of the hottest rock bands in the country. Even better? He’s sharing the experience with his best friend, Jazz. Since the day she’d showed up as his family’s new foster kid, Gray has protected her. Loved her. And not just platonically either. After all these years of wanting her in his bed, he still doesn’t know what it would be like to have her mouth on his.
Except for that one time. The time he’d shared her with Nick. The best worst night of his life.
Now they’re living their dream. They’re making music together and spending every waking moment trapped in tight quarters. With success at their fingertips, the time is right for him to finally make his move toward the woman he needs.
He just never figured he would lose control. Or that she would find out.
They’ve loved each other through everything. But what if this time love just isn’t enough?
