After reading the Up In the Air Series by R. K. Lilley, she quickly became one of my favorite authors. I remember mentioning in my review that I wished she would write a story about Tristan, because I totally fell for the big, tattooed singer. So R.K. loves me so much, she decided to write three, just for me! (Not really, I just like to pretend I’m important).
Bad Things, the first in the Tristan and Danika series actually takes place BEFORE the Up in the Air Series. And I think you may want to read Bad Things before that series. I loved it! See my 5 star review of Bad Things here. Then read Rock Bottom, then move on to the Up in the Air series if you haven’t yet.
Today, Rock Bottom (Tristan & Danika 2) released. I’m about halfway through it and absolutely love it! Besides that, it’s freaking HOT! And….wow it’s an angsty one ladies, but I don’t want to put it down.
Their love had the power of a runaway freight train, and the potential to be just as destructive.
The tempestuous sequel to Bad Things picks up where the first book left off. Reeling from a profound loss, Tristan and Danika struggle to pick up the pieces and build a life together, but the hard habits of a lifetime are not so easy to escape.
Rock Bottom takes us on a dual point of view journey through addiction and desire, through love and agony, and answers the question we’ve been asking since these characters were introduced in Grounded: “What happened between Tristan and Danika?”
DANIKA
Even love couldn’t cushion a fall like ours. My love for Tristan was so big that I felt consumed by it, and even so, it was not enough to overpower our combined demons.
I struggled. I yelled and screamed. I scratched and kicked.
I fought like hell, but even the most determined fighters have to stop before they break.
No one could say I didn’t fight for him.
“I love you,” I spoke softly into his ear.
He gripped me harder. “I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”
“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for us.
I’d have given my life for that fight. In fact, I very nearly did.
TRISTAN
She was the one.
If I’d ever had a doubt, I didn’t now. She was the one I’d be thinking about, longing for, until I took my last breath. If I lost her tomorrow, I’d pine for her like a lovesick fool.
This was the kind of love that only hit you once in your life.
He worked me faster, and I froze and shook like I had a fever, letting the waves of rapture take me. I felt him jerking inside of me as I cam back down from the addictive high, his face arrested in his own gratifying release. I love to watch him come, and I held as I could, impaled on him, until his eyes opened, and he blinked up at me.
I folded down to lay against him, burying my face in the side of his neck, breathing him in.
He always smelled divine. Like home.
“I love you,” he rasped out. He said it all the time. He didn’t hold it back, now that he’d admitted it, but it still gave me butterflies, every single time.
“I love you,” I spoke softly to his ear.
He gripped me harder. I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”
“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for me.
I was by nature, a fighter, and no one could say I didn’t fight for us.
I’d have given my life for that fight.
In fact, I very nearly did.
Me and R.K. Lilley at Wicked Book Weekend
R.K. Lilley lives in Colorado with her husband and their two beautiful sons. She’s had a lot of interesting jobs, from being a first class flight attendant, to being a stablehand, but swears she never knew what hard work was until she had children. She’s been addicted to both reading and writing fiction since she can remember. She loves to travel, read, hike, paint, game, watch anime, and make the most of every single day. She is the author of the erotic romance novels In Flight, Mile High, Grounded, and the novella, Lana.
Luckily, the last book in the Tristan & Danika series, Lovely Trigger, will take place at the end of Grounded. So hopefully this means a happy ending for this smoking hot couple.
I have not yet, but they are at the top of my list to read. I have so many that I want to read that I can’t seem to catch up. Too many wonderful authors and amazing books out there!
I’ve been a fan of R.K. Lilley after reading Bad Things. One cannot help but to fall in love with her characters even in Up In The Air series. She writes strong-willed and sexually empowered heroine, which I find attractive and I totally love it. She writes with class, and beautiful erotic prose, leaving her readers a trifle breathless with it all. I am on the edge of my seat for I cannot even begin describe my agitation within my clutch. I must have that Rock Bottom soon.
Yes I have read the Up In The Air series and Bad Things. I think she is an amazing author who can make us feel so many things! I am so excited for this release altho I don’t know if I’m ready for the heartbreak, oh wait yes I am, I have my tissues right here! Thanks for the chance to win!
I automatically purchased BAD THINGS after reading your review…..I became jealous of your new “book boyfriend” TRISTAN!!! OMG, AMAZING WRITING AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP…..WOW!!!! I am completing the current book I’m reading to began the adventure with Tristan and Danika! Thanks for your amazing input Ana, you help to keep my “fantasy world exciting”!!!! 😀
I have read all of the In Flight books but I haven’t had the chance to read these new books. Hope to win so I can remedy that! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
OMG yes I have read her books. I love James he is my #1 book boyfriend. I need to read this last one though. I can’t wait to get my fingers on it. I love R.K.
I own the Up in the Air Series, and the books are loaded on to my Kindle, I just haven’t gotten a chance to read them. But, I’m so looking forward to reading all of her books! I’ve heard nothing but great things!
I’ve read Up in the Air and it’s one of my top fave series as well I’ve read Bad Things. I bought Rock Bottom today, can’t wait to read it next! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m planning on reading Up In The Air series next actually (currently reading Killing Time by Cindy Gerard). I really don’t wanna start Tristan & Danika series until Lovely Trigger is out! I’ve read really good things about the series so far and I know I will want their HEA. So, I’ll wait…somewhat patiently. xD
