Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh is the first book in her new Schoolboy Choir series. Nalini Singh is one of my favorite authors and I can tell you that this book is completely different from anything that she's published previously. It's a contemporary rock star romance. The hero, Fox is the lead singer for the band, Schoolboy Choir. The heroine, Molly is a librarian and she meets Fox through her sister, Thea, the bands publicist. 
 I thought Rock Addiction was good but ultimately forgettable. Neither the characters nor the story were particularly compelling. I kept getting distracted from the story which is unusual for me. I think Rock Addition suffered from an overabundance of sex. This took away from the plot and the romance. The bulk of Fox and Molly's relationship is physical and that detracted from the emotional depth of the book. I felt the chemistry but I didn't really feel the love. And honestly, the sex scenes just got tiresome and boring after a while. 
 Character wise, I liked Molly and Fox as well as the other bandmates and friends but I didn't really connect with them. My favorite character was one of the side characters, Molly's best friend Charlotte. I was very intrigued by the snippets we got of her and enjoyed her discussions with Molly about her new boss, T-Rex as Charlotte calls him. I would be very interested in reading her story. 
 Another element that bothered me as a reader was a song that Fox wrote in honor of Molly and sang but the lyrics weren't written in the book. If you write a singer/songwriter character and that character writes a song about the heroine and or their relationship, I think it's important to write the lyrics in the book as they are being "sung". It greatly lessens the impact and the realism when they aren't included. 
 On the plus side, I liked how Rock Addiction addressed the rock star lifestyle and some of the issues that come along with it, including groupies and lack of privacy. I felt that part was important in a book such as this and it was well done. Actually the overall plot was interesting and nicely done, it just got overshadowed by the numerous sex scenes. In conclusion, while I liked Rock Addiction I was a bit disappointed by it. I expected more from this author.
