Blurb
It was a chance meeting in paradise that caused them to cross paths. Destiny brought them together.
These two alpha males met with the force of a head-on collision. Sirens went off and lit up their hearts faster than a flashfire. But now that they’re living in the real world, everything isn’t as easy as anticipated. Other than their strong-willed and dominant personalities, they couldn’t be more opposite.
As the front man for a world-famous heavy metal band, Brandon Bullet lives in the spotlight. He thrives on the attention of his fans and wild parties that all rock stars are accustomed to.
The free-spirited attitude and uninhibited lifestyle that is so natural to Brandon totally contradicts with Cameron Douglas’ anal-retentive, structured mindset. Spurred on by a thirst for adventure, Cameron’s ready to leave behind his sedate, low-key life, but he’s unprepared for the rock star’s world of free sex, drugs, and non-stop parties.

Concessions aren’t always easy when thrust into a new relationship, especially with two head-strong men who constantly challenge one another. Add time apart from Bulletproof’s promotional tour, and it’s another layer of adjustment to contend with that just may push this new relationship too far.

Excerpt
Cam gave the dog one last pat on the back, then turned his gaze on Brandon. He walked through the long entry hall with a swagger, which is why Brandon remained a good 10 feet away. He pretended it was because he didn’t want to get knocked over by a rambunctious 90-pound Lab, but he really wanted to see Cam’s long legs stride down the hall in that fucking hot as hell business suit. Tonight’s ensemble was navy blue with a lavender tie, which Cam had already loosened, and the top button of his shirt was open. As Cam sauntered closer, Brandon’s eyes kept falling to that sweet spot at the center of Cam’s throat that was peeking out of his shirt collar.
Cam gave Brandon the standard greeting – a rough set of hands holding Brandon’s face still while a thick, hungry tongue told him how much he was missed all day, but Brandon’s thoughts were on Cam’s neck. He grabbed hold of Cam’s wrists and pulled them lower. Cam thought it meant Brandon wanted to be groped, but he just wanted to suck the soft flesh of Cam’s throat.
The moan that echoed in the hallway was a mixture of both Brandon and Cam’s voices, which spun together like a harmonized melody.

“Was this my surprise?” Cam asked in a wispy voice. “Because I’m not surprised at all that you have this effect on me.”

Branded is book 2 in the Bulletproof series, it needs to be read in order as it's the continuation of Cameron and Brandon's story and it starts directly after book 1 ends.
While Cameron and Brandon grow to be more in love with each passing day, real life has a way of interfering with it, not to mention there are outside sources that might present an obstacle into their blooming relationship. Do they have what it takes to make it work?
Cameron and Brandon couldn't be more different if they tried. Cameron is quiet and anal-retentive, loving structure and order in his life. Brandon is a larger than life rock star that loves people and fans and music, quiet is not exactly in his makeup. What I liked about them is that while they fight a lot to see who should get the upper hand, since they are both very alpha and like to dominate the other, they are willing to compromise and make the changes needed to work it all out. That's not to say there aren't a lot of things standing in their way, because there sure are, but they don't fight just to fight, they communicate (after a while, at least). The chemistry between them is explosive, and the sex scenes were pretty hot, too!
I loved seeing all the nuances involved in being a rock star, even the less than savory parts. Jenna Galicki has a fabulous way to just transport you to a concert or backstage or an afterparty and make it seem as if you're practically there with the band.
All in all, this was a great sequel to The Undercover Rock Star! Fast-paced and engaging, you definitely won't be bored with these guys and their adventures!
