This is my favorite one so far, I think possibly because I like Kit even more than Dee, whom I liked even more than Rowan. Also, I'm a sucker for long backstories like Kit and Shawn's.

I really loved this book! It caught my attention from the beginning and I didn’t want it to end and was sad when it did.
This is a story about Shawn and Kit. Shawn and his best friend Adam have been best friends since grade school and have been playing music together for almost just as long. During a school function where Shawn and Adam were playing their guitars is where Kit first saw and heard Shawn and fell in love at the tender age of 8 years old. When she became a freshman Shawn was graduating and she crashed a graduation party where she hooked up with Shawn and never heard from him again. Flash forward 6 years and that’s where the story picks up – Kit now a guitar player herself auditioned for an open spot in Shawn and Adam’s band and gets the job. Unfortunately she clearly remembers Shawn but it seems Shawn doesn’t remember her at all and the story goes from there.
First I have to say I love the names of the main characters Shawn Scarlett and Kit Larson – so good! As the relationship develops between Shawn and Kit I found myself rooting for them more and more – the book is told from Kit’s POV which I usually don’t like the single POV but in this case not always knowing what Shawn is thinking was not a bad thing. Also you could tell what type of person he is by the things he does for those around him, Shawn is the leader of the band and its obvious through his actions. This of course confuses Kit to no end. The story development was paced perfectly and I enjoyed the dialog between Kit and Shawn as they were getting to know each other first as friends and as something more. I had to keep reminding myself that Kit is young but the choices she makes throughout the book made sense and I could even relate to what she was doing when I think about being 21. I think Jamie gets that part dead on.
I also loved the secondary characters – I have not read the first 2 books in the series (will definitely do that here soon) and the band is great and 2 of the band members already had their own stories. The real concentration for the additional characters is Kit’s brothers – she has 4 brothers – 3 older and her twin Kaleb and they are fantastic. There is a subplot involving Kaleb that was great, I hope that Jamie Shaw is planning a spin-off series featuring the others. There is one more book left in this series with the band but I am going to keep my fingers crossed the brothers definitely deserve their own books.
I cant say enough about this book and highly recommend it whether you have read the first 2 or not.

I should have written about this one last night when I finished it but it was one of those allow yourself to be sleep-deprived because you have to finish it reads.
I really liked Kit, how she was this contradiction of hard and soft, secrets and truths. I loved that she was just as bad ass as the men in the band even though she was dealing with the whole childhood idol thing being around them. I loved how Leti got his happy ending in this book as well. How it's about more than two rocking guitarists falling in love. It's about a girl finding about her place in a male dominated life as an equal, not just being one, but feeling like one. It's about the struggle of loving someone still in the closet because they're so afraid their family won't approve, that they have to sacrifice one love for another. It's about feeling like you have to keep secrets and the freedom of the truth. This story is just a lot of things that make it a truly wonderful read that I'd highly recommend.

Review zu Rock my Soul
Hallo ihr Lieben, ich melde mich mal wieder mit einer Rezension und bedanke ich mich an dieser Stelle ganz herzlich beim Blanvalet Verlag und dem Bloggerportal für das zu Verfügung stellen, des Rezi Exemplares.
Important Information
Titel: "Rock My Soul"
Orignaltitel: Chaos
Reihe: The Last ones to Know
Autor: Jamie Shaw
Verlag: Blanvalet
Seiten: 447
Preis: 12, 99€ Paperback (D) 9.99€(Ebook)
About the Writer
Jamie Shaw wuchs in in South Central Pennsylvenia auf, wo sie auch zur Welt kam. Noch bevor sie im kreativen schreiben ihre Berufung fand, erwarb einen Master Abschluss im professionellen Schreiben an der Tawson University. Heut zu tage lebt sie ihrem Mann und ihren beiden Söhnen in Pensylvenia. Ist sie nicht gerade damit beschäftigt ihre dreijährigen Söhne zusammenzuhalten, verschlingt sie Bücher, TV Serien und Cake Pops. Mit ihrem Master, entwachsen ihrer Feder Romanzen über Heldinnen mit denen man sich identifizieren kann und Hauptcharakteren von denen man nur schwärmen kann.
Inhalt
Kit Larson und Shawn Scarlett sind zwei Menschen die eine gemeinsame Vergangenheit haben. Ihr Herz verlor Kit an Shawn als sie ihn zum ersten mal Gitarre spielen sieht. Auf einer High School Party haben die zwei eine Schöne Nacht doch mehr wird daraus nicht. Das merkt Kit nach dieser Party. Doch trotz dieses Ereignisses ist weiterhin von Leidenschaft zur Musik gefesselt und nach dem Kit Jahre Später von einem Casting von Shwans mittlerweile bekannter Band für einen neuen Gitarristen hört, ist ihr klar, dass sie sich das Vorspielen nicht entgehen lassen kann. Nicht lange nach dem Casting wird ihr zu gesagt und sie ist im siebten Himmel. Aber der Platz in the Last ones to now bedeutet auch, dass Shawn und Kit und Shwan jeden Tag sehen und er geht ihr nicht mehr aus dem Kopf kriegt.
Meinung
Wem Band 1 und Zwei dieser Reihe schon gefallen hat, der wird diesen dritten Band lieben. Hier kommt neben der sich über die Seiten hinweg entwickelnden Beziehung zwischen unseren Zwei Protagonisten auch noch die Tatsache hinzu, das alte Gefühle von Kit wieder aufflammen. In meinen Augen hat die Autorin es gemeistert diese Ganze Situation nicht zu kitschig da zu stellen. Ich finde das kann einem Autor bei diesem Konzept von Geschichte manchmal passieren.Doch gerade durch die Wahl der Protagonisten gelang es der Autorin genau das nicht zu tun.
Jamie Shaw hat mich mit ihrem Schreibstil wieder gefesselt. Innerhalb von zwei Tagen hab ich dieses Buch ausgelesen und mich echt zum schlafen zwingen. Diese 484 Seiten sind nur so dahin geflogen. Ein großer Pluspunkt für dieses Buch ist der Humor. Ich musste beim Lesen immer mal wieder leise los lachen. Was mir hier sehr Zugesagt hat war Kits Familie hach die waren einfach so unterhaltsam.
Auch der Spannungsbogen der Geschichte war ebenfalls sehr gut aufgebaut. Neben dem tollen Schreibstil auch ein Grund der mir das Weglegen des Romans erschwert hat. Ich habe mich beim Lesen immer gefragt was als nächstes geschieht.
Interessant war auch, das wir dieses Mal auch das wir eine Protagonistin hatten die aktiv in der Band mitwirkt. Denn in den vorherigen Bänden der Reihe hatten wir ja zwei Mädels, die eine andere Art von Verbindung zur Band hatten. Dadurch hat man einen tollen Einblick in die Abläufe in der Band bekommen.
Direkt auf den ersten paar Seiten war mir Kit sympathisch. Es war sehr schön mal wieder von einer Protagonistin zu lesen die sich nicht unterkriegen lässt, denn das kommt in den New Adult ja eher nicht so oft vor. Kits Handlungen, Gedanken Gefühle konnte ich sehr gut nachvollziehen. Ich habe Kit die Rock Gör abgekauft es wirkte nicht aufgesetzt oder so. Ich fand es toll das sie gerade vor ihrer Familie so für das was sie einstehen konnte. Auch wie sie sich mit ihren 4 älteren Brüdern auseinander setzt. An einigen Stellen fand ich zwar das die ein Bisschen übertrieben haben aber ist nicht so mit Großen Brüdern? Es war ja lustig nur hin und wieder habe ich mich gefragt ob den Jungs oder Männern entgangen ist das ihre Schwester schon erwachsen ist.
Kommen wir nun zu unserem männlichem Helden Shawn. Ich finde man konnte merken, das er sich im Laufe des Buches oder eher gesagt während dieser sechs Jahre sehr reflektiert hat und ein Stück weiter entwickelt hat. Der junge Mann hat eine tolle Einstellung zum Thema Musik und auch Marketing seiner Band. Mir hat es jedoch nich so gut gefallen, das er Kit eine ganz bestimmte Sache verschwiegen hat. Jedoch konnte ich seine Gründe dafür sehr gut verstehen kann. Was ich nicht so gut verstehen konnte war das er die Beziehung zwischen ihm und Kit geheim halten wollte.
Fazit
Abschließend muss ich sagen mit diesem Buch hatte ich ein paar schöne und lustige Lesestunden. Ich wollte dieses Buch sogar garnicht mehr aus der Hand doch leider musste ich ja ein bisschen schlafen. Da mir vieles gefallen und vor allem die Nebencharaktere und wie sie in der Geschichte eingebunden waren, bekommt dieses Buch fünf von fünf Pferden

Relationships - good; romance - good; emotional resonance - good; misogyny - annoying. Calling people girls as an insult, being the kind of girl who counts herself as one of the guys to lift her above and make her "different" than the other girls, shaming all kinds of girls for their sexuality and appearance, really hated that part. I don't think I could read another book by this author unless I knew that she'd stopped using casual misogyny.

I've been waiting to read this book from the moment I started this series. Tbh, the characters didn't disappoint me except for the drama. I didn't feel much about it. Too much lies and hiding especially from Kit and Shawn. Maybe the executions of the scenes didn't work well for me. It could have been better. I don't want to list down every scenario that feels like lacking and exaggerated coz I wanted this to be spoiler free. But I really appreciate every characters from Shawn and Kit, their bandmates and their friends and even Kit's family, they made this book almost worth a 4 stars rating.
I did enjoy reading this book.

Really amusing and easy read.
In this novel, Kit and Shawn's history is finally revealed. It was teased in the previous novel that they had some sort of a past together, but that things in the present day are rocky and filled with sexual tension. Kit, who is the youngest sibling of four other brothers. She's thusly a bit of a tomboy and is fairly tough. She's had to learn to speak her mind or else be drowned out in her household. However, she hasn't gotten many chances to be too girly since her brothers are determined to protect her from any guys that might stumble into her path. However, one of her brothers is her twin, and they are a lot closer, and thusly he knows more of her secrets. Kale knows that Kit saw Shawn and Adam play an acoustic set at a talent show years ago and it inspired both her fantasy of becoming a rock star guitar player and also her massive crush on Shawn. However, Adam and Shawn are a few years older and Kit takes her last opportunity to be with Shawn: at his graduation party. She strikes up a conversation and he ends up taking her virginity and never calling again. Kit doesn't see him until six years later when she auditions to be the rhythm guitarist for his band The Last Ones to Know. He acts a little odd and almost rude at her audition and at the first rehearsal after the rest of the band decides she's perfect for the job. Shawn finally gives up whatever his problem is and they start to become friends, but with underlying sexual tension, that neither one is broaching. It's a bit of a roller coaster as Kit finds her place in the band and as they grow in fame during their month long tour. Kit is determined to hate Shawn for his lack of communication after their first time. She just can't get over the hurt she felt, but she also can't move past the feelings she's had for Shawn since she was young. Between all of their angst, all the humor amongst the band and other friends, and Kit's secrets from her family about her new life, the book has a lot of conflicts.
I really enjoyed all the characters and their dynamics together. I'm a big fan of quick wit and humor in dialogue and this book was good at delivering. Leti, Kit's so-called "third best friend", is hilarious and perfect in his role as a comic relief but also as the guy that will give it to Kit straight when she needs a kick in the butt.
For all the conflicts the book had, I can't say any of them were especially original or unpredictable. However, they were well done for what they were. Each conflict had solid buildup and reasoning. Most of the drama was a bit trite and largely brought on by Kit herself, so it was all fairly see-through as far as a plot goes. But it should say something that despite the transparent plot, it was still really amusing and entertaining. I wanted to keep reading throughout the whole story.
Just as a small aside, I kept wondering if I missed the reasons for why all of Kit's brothers were still living at home. I think it worked great for the story and made things more entertaining. However, it seemed really weird and illogical.
The only other thing that really bothered me in this book was at the ending. When all the conflicts finally peak, Kit and Shawn are both revealed to be in the wrong, but Kit doesn't see her wrong doing at first. She's basically the hypocrite after all the anger she spewed at Shawn, yet when she goes to make up with him, she doesn't utter a single apology but demands multiple explanations from him. It's a bit unbalanced and I felt bad for Shawn and how all the blame wound up on his shoulders.
I'm excited for the next book in the series. I think Mike's story has great potential. He's always been the guy in the band that is holding out for his wife one day and isn't messing around with groupies in the meantime. Just in case I need a refresher between the next publishing, I'm going to hide of more complete synopsis in a spoiler link.

The crux of the story was when Shawn and Kit finally got together with only a few days left in their tour. Shawn asks her out but wants to keep it quiet while they're on their tour for the last couple of days so they can avoid the teasing the other guys will give them. However, just after they return from their night of figuring out their relationship, Mike (unknowingly) reveals that Shawn remembers their night together at the graduation party, when Kit had rationalized that he must not remember. All of her insecurities kick in and she afraid she is going to be Shawn's dirty little secret. She starts avoiding him so she can get through their last performance. Then all of her brothers show up at the venue and her secret of being in the band from their high school is revealed and her family now knows she's been on tour. Then things are compounded at the band and her brothers get along great and the band comes to their house for dinner. That's when Kit finally explodes. She has a bit of a breakdown and Kale tries to rescue her from her turmoil by shielding some of the spotlight when he finally comes out of the closet. He also reveals that he was the reason Shawn didn't call. It's a long night to say the least. It leads Kit to realize she needs to forgive Kale for protecting her, and she needs to realize that Shawn only acted as Kit acted, by lying about the past and starting anew as if nothing happened.hellxriver's review against another edition
