I love when stories take an unexpected twist and go in a different direction than you expected. Rock the City transformed into a story that was heartfelt, centered on family and trust. I was extremely curious what the story would be about when the couple in the book was already established. Noelle was one of my favorite characters from Rock the Boat and the fact she gets her own story was wonderful!
Rock the City starts with a prologue that sets the stage. A mutual attraction and spark is presented in a way that creates a foundation for this couple. When the book begins we are already six months into their relationship. When that timeline was shared, I was surprised and wondering where the story would end up. Most stories in this genre are about two people meeting and falling in love. That had already taken place and Gia was ready to take us future into their story. This made the book a novelty in the romance genre, one I was excited to experience.
Lane and Noelle were great together. Their constant flirting and passion solidifies them as a couple you love. This again made me curious about their story since, in my mind, it was obvious they were solid. The best part about this book is that it is this couple against the world. Their connection and deep rooted love is a primary focus and they weather the storms of life together. That is the key word. Together. They faces the demons and realities of Lane’s past together, ones that were a refreshing set of problems that set this book apart from the genre.
This story is steeped in emotion. There is heartbreak and anguish from the past and uncertainty and pain in the present and future. Gia writes emotion into her stories so well. It is not overly angsty and eye roll inducing. Instead it is heartfelt and true. You understand the reaction and emotion, something that is natural in this book. A bonus in this book was the ever evolving story of Lark and Easton from Rock the Boat. The theme of community and family is vital to this book and we see that in a fun way with the secondary characters. Everything you want in a story is presented in a beautiful package, one that left me smiling and content in the end!
