Synopsis
You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can.
I thought I’d hit rock bottom when I turned sixteen. The day I broke my first love’s heart, ending things before I could ruin his career as a rock star.
But damn, was I wrong.Things got progressively worse from that moment on, until now. Eight years later, when I find myself homeless, jobless, covered in blood, and running from a ghost of my past.
Angelo Ricci–the second boy I ever loved–knows I saw him shoot a man. He’s coming for me, has men out all over the city looking for me, and if they find me I’m as good as dead.
But I’m not giving up so easily. I’ll do whatever it takes to escape the Ricci family’s wrath, even if it means seeking sanctuary with the most unlikely, and unwilling of allies.
Bellerose is the hottest rock band in the world right now–in popularity and looks–and it’s just my luck that I stumble into their laps while running for my life. It’s not the best plan to hide out on their tour, but it’s the best I’ve got.
Except, the only person that Bellerose’s frontman hates more than Angelo Ricci… might be me. Too damn bad. Jace owes me. After all, I’m Billie Bellerose.

Review
Poison Roses is the first book in the Boys of Bellerose series.
I went into this book knowing little other than it was a rockstar romance and reverse harem. However, I was pleasantly supposed that there was so much action. There is a mafia component to this book that wasn’t fully explored, but I can’t wait to learn more about it. As with many first books, this one sets the stage, and while it does a good job, I feel like it could have been better. I am not entirely sure who all the love interests are, and a past with Jace is hinted at plenty, but we don’t get very much information on what exactly happened.
I do love the characters. Billie is clever and self-sufficient but isn’t too proud to take help when it will likely save her life. Rhett is, of course, my favorite, the sensitive, pierced guy. I have a type. I liked Gray, but I also thought he was a bit of a dick, and he seems like he’s not up for sharing, so… Finally, there’s Jace. I feel like I know the least about him because, for the most part, we only see him ranting about how much he hates Billie.
As I mentioned, I wish we had gotten more in this book. There was certainly room for it. I felt the pacing was good, but I would not call Poison Roses a fast-paced book. I am very excited to see where this series will go!
