Looking At Forever (The Rock Gods Book 4) Kindle Edition

Mick Wheland, Ivory Tower's bad-boy guitarist, has recently realized two important things about himself. He prefers sex with men over women, and the idea of a committed relationship doesn't scare him as much as it once did. He's seen the positive effects of love from watching his band-mates find life partners, and now he's thinking he might be ready for the same himself. The problem is knowing where to look for Mr. Right, and living out of a suitcase while touring with a band is not exactly conducive to finding real love.

Sonny (Rooster) Roostarelli leaves the seclusion of his Vancouver cabin, where he went to lick his wounds after a contentious divorce, and moves back to Los Angeles. He claims relocating to L.A. is for business purposes, but now that the dust has settled on his failed marriage, Rooster feels he might finally be ready to settle down – with a man. A chance encounter for Wheland and Rooster on a busy L.A. street rekindles an old friendship between the two professional musicians. Rooster needs a short-term place to stay and Wheland has plenty of extra space at his hillside estate and that lands Rooster in Wheland's guest room.

What starts out as a music collaboration opportunity quickly turns personal when the chemistry they have becomes too strong to ignore and soon the music they're making spills from the studio and into the bedroom. The road is a grueling bitch musicians love to hate. Being on stage under the hot lights can sometimes be the only place they feel comfortable and alive. Can two high-profile rock stars make a life together in such an artificial world – on and off the stage... or will past mistakes and family secrets keep them from finding their forever?

5 Stars "It Melted Both My Heart and My E-reader!" by Carly ~ Carly's Book Reviews

Normally I start my reviews with my impression of the main characters in a story, but the synopsis for LOOKING AT FOREVER does an exceptional job setting the background for these two characters. If you haven't read it yet I recommend you do so now. ;) What I will say is this:

Mick Wheland: Holy rock-star hotness. Talk about a character that has a loooooong fuse. He is a steady and unassuming presence in the band, but when Wheland lets his inner bad-boy out to play he dominates the page, and Rooster too! You know what they say, "It's always the quiet ones."

Sonny (Rooster) Roostarelli: I want to cuddle him so hard! His kind and generous personality won me over instantly. He's silly, sexy and has a dirty mind... what's not to love?

The physical and emotional chemistry between Wheland and Sonny is so palpable that it melted both my heart and my e-reader! LOOKING AT FOREVER is the fourth in Lister's The Rock Gods series and there is a lot going on in this story. The characters are well established, fans who have been following the series will be delighted with the way Ann continues to develop the relationships from previous books without distracting attention away from Wheland and Rooster's story. It's the first book I've read in the series, so technically it can be read out of order, but I wouldn't recommend doing so. It's such an amazing and well written story that you're going to buy the first three as soon as you finish this one anyway... that's what I did!

Ann Lister is a native New Englander currently living in Florida with her husband. She has pulled details from her years living in the New England area and uses many local settings and landmarks in her novels.

After graduating art school, marrying, and raising two daughters, she established her own video production company. Her nearly two decades working in video production included work within the music industry and won her a coveted Telly Award. Her 'behind-the-scenes' exposure to the music world and her love of rock music is the inspiration for her erotic rock star romances.

The Rock Gods series gave her Bestselling Author status on Amazon. Beyond The Music, Book 7 in the series, hit #1 in the Gay Erotica genre during the Pre-Order and held that spot for several weeks. This last book in The Rock Gods series launches the spin-off series, Guarding The Gods, which releases in early Summer of 2016.

Fall For Me, Book One in the series was a Finalist in the 2013 Rainbow Award. Each book in this series brings her two favorite elements together: musicians and the love between two men. These stories focus on what it truly means to love; love unconditionally, love without restrictions or labels, love without fear or judgment – to just simply love.

Looking at Forever will forever touch your heart......must read!!
What an amazing story!! Two acquaintances run into each other and a friendship begins. They say the best love stories start out as friends. This is definitely true with Wheland and Rooster. These two have some hot and sexy chemistry right from the start. You can't help but want them to be together. In most stories you tend to find yourself leaning towards one character and "root" for them while reading. With Ann Lister's stories......you can't help but to fall in love with both/all characters!! I truly love both Wheland and Rooster. It's so refreshing to see how great a relationship can be when the lovers communicate and talk! WHAT A CONCEPT, RIGHT?!?If you've been following along in The Rock God series, you probably have already purchased this book. We've been anxiously waiting for this release!! If you haven't started The Rock Gods series yet.... WAIT? WHAT? Get your your one-clickers ready!!!Book 1 - Fall for MeBook 2 - Take What You WantBook 3 - Make You MineBook 4 - Looking at Forever

I suppose this book really does not need another review, but I have one in my head and I have decided to put it down on the paper.
I have read the previous story and liked the story, but not Wheland that much. This story is his and it gives us his good sides and his flaws.

We find out more about his background. His father had turned out to be an adulter. He had been married with a rich woman, but kept Wheland's mother as mistress for years. Wheland discovered this when his half-sister sought him out to tell him that their shared father was dead. At once his world as he knew it had shattered. Suddenly, at nineteen, he had to step up and support his alcoholic mother and two younger siblings. His siblings took gladly all the money he offered until they finished the school and - well, as they say, ingratitude is often the "salary" one gets. All this did something to him. Fortunately his band became his family, because otherwise he would be all alone.

Wheland has lately been playing on both sides of the fence, trying to find out where he belongs. His previous sexual encounters with Cooper has "come back and bit him in his backside" several times, especially in relation to Jayson, Cooper's boyfriend.

Then by chance Wheland meets Sonny, an acquaintance from the past, a man who had (after his divorce) for a while retreated to the relative isolation of his cabin. Wheland is on his way to get drunk because of the memories and Sonny has just returned to L.A. to take up his music production again.

An invitation to stay with Wheland is the start on their journey towards HEA. The men fall fast and hard. In the beginning it is the music that binds them, later the love that is almost obsessive. In a good way, in my mind. Wheland interrupts the tour of his band, to support Sonny during his mother's illness and subsequent death. Sonny on the other hand suppresses his aversion to touring, just to be with his man.

Those who have read the previous stories will get an update. Alex and his triad get some good news, Cooper and Jayson plan a wedding - and of course there are hints about upcoming stories. There is lots of sex in this book, with episodes of bondage and voyeurism - not always quite comfortable reading for me. All in all - it was an enjoyable time with my kindle.

This was book 4 in "The Rock Gods"series. Mick Wheland, Ivory Tower's bad-boy guitarist, has recently realized two important things about himself. He prefers sex with men over women, and the idea of a committed relationship doesn't scare him as much as it once did. On the anniversary of one of the worse days of his life while on the way to a bar he has a minor fender bender and when the other guy gets out of his car it's Sonny (Rooster) Roostarelli. Rooster is also a musician who has in a few bands now he writes music and plays studio because he got tired of touring he is back in L.A. to record with his band. When Rooster mentions that he is living in a Hotel Wheland invites him to live with him. Each man is attracted to each other and they are both not sure of the other. This was a really good book that was a bit too long at times. Wheland and Rooster have some really hot sex Rooster is submissive in bed and Wheland likes to top and the sex scene when he chains him to the ceiling it was hot. When Wheland gets a health scare from a woman in his past secret comes out about Wheland and Cooper thanks to Jayson being jealous I also liked how the band handled it and came together in support of Wheland. When Rooster has a family emergency Wheland leaves the band to be with him and when his mother dies Ivory Tower comes to show there support. With Ivory Tower and Black Ice touring together there is a lot going on and a lot of hooking up and I am looking forward to reading about Black Ice's Dante and Ashton. This book was good it was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I have been a fan of The Rock God Series from the beginning. After reading Coop and Jay (book 3), I couldn't wait for Wheland's story.

Wheland is realizing now that he feels more for men then women and he's starting to wonder if he can have that love that all of his other bandmates have. One day while thinking about his past (a memory he wants to forget), he literally bumps into Rooster :) (He hits the car that Rooster is in.) It's nothing life threatening, but they can't believe they bumped into eachother that way. They have known eachother for years and Rooster is back in LA. Wheland offers him a place to stay since he has plenty of room in his house.

Wheland and Rooster spend a lot of time together and in this time, they start for fall for eachohter, but both can't admit it. I loved how they started out and when feelings are finally revealed it was one hot scene after another. These two have amazing chemistry and I loved every minute of it.

Wheland gets news that he has to go on tour with the band, making him feeling so many emotions because he is finally in a good place with Rooster. Its hard for the both of them but they decide to make it work and I love that they were both committed to eaachother. When they could make trips to see the other, you can tell how much they missed being together. It was great seeing the rest of the band and their significant others and the way they accepted their relationship was awesome :) You'll see whats going on with them as well which makes you wonder :)

There were 2 scenes in particular that had me nearly in tears..one from happiness and one from sadness and I love how much Wheland and Rooster were there for the other during those times. Amazing!!

This was an amazing read and I thought I couldn't love the series anymore that I do.:) I am looking forward to the next one, Meant For Me and I know it will be another hit!! If you haven't read this series, your sure are missing out.

Amazing job Ann!!

I admit going into this I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as the previous books because I found Wheland to be such a shallow, manipulative and frustrating character - I really didn't like him at all. Perhaps that skewed my view, but the characters are what the author has made them.

The attempt at BDSM was a little off. We get told that Wheland was into it, and Rooster open to it, but the way it was delivered just didn't seem to flow smoothly with the rest of the story, or match the personalities they showed the rest of the time. It came across as awkward and forced rather than natural.

The overall storyline itself I didn't find as compelling or interesting as the previous books. It seemed bland in comparison, even with the situation with one of Wheland's previous hookups - that wasn't necessary for the book at all and was an obvious ploy from the author to try and add drama to the story. In the end, I found myself skimming a lot of sections. I just wasn't invested in Wheland or Rooster like I was with the characters in earlier books.

On a plus, we finally get to meet the other members of Black Ice - something that has been sorely lacking since Book 1 failed to mention them at all except in passing.

I'm still interested in reading more in the series, but in all honesty could probably have skipped this book. I don't feel it added much to any of the characters or potential future storylines either.

What a beautiful story, It's felt like a long time coming waiting to hear all about Wheland.
When Rooster came crashing into his life literally, you couldn't wish for anything better they were perfect for each other, their journey had some extremely touching moments though, Ann Lister does such a wonderful job at portraying every emotion it's hard to put down, it all becomes so addictive.
This series has been without a doubt fantastic and it all started with Dagger and Ryan just over a year ago and I remember how I felt because I'd read all her other books which are fantastic anyway and then along came this series and it was something else..!! And it seamed like forever waiting for each instalment, I was constantly checking her website.
I love everything else that's going on with all the other characters, Tony and Jared, Ashton and Dante all the drama and potential for other stories there's never a dull moment that's for sure..
I know it must have been tough for Ann to finish 'Looking at Forever' because of recently loosing her parents close together and for that we must be very grateful, so thank you and I'm so looking forward to reading 'Meant for Me' in 2015..

This story of Wheland and Rooster is another m/m romance in the Rock Gods series. While I love these men of the Rock Gods, I found there was too much emphasis on the sex between these two men and not enough story development for my liking. The back half of the book, however, dealt more with their lives, families, and relationships with their band mates. I loved that the previous men and women in both of their lives were brought into the story.

All in all, I liked Wheland and Rooster and this series so far. I just wish there was at least one straight man's story in these bands of men. Is it realistic that there hasn't been? I hope that is not the reality of our rock god heroes!

About time Wheland got his story. Loved the way Rooster and Wheland reconnected and it went from strength to strength from there. I had difficulty with a few parts, particularly when there was danger of a miscarriage and the tour was still going on.it was only former bad boy Wheland stating that he had to support Rooster that Alex finally saw that family comes first and the band comes second fir the tour to get postponed.

I enjoyed that both of them were ready to settle down and make adjustments and committed to each other and trusted each other with being apart. Face time is my new fantasy!
