Review
The rich writing style and interesting plot drew my attention immediately and I easily found myself enthralled with Carter and Lianne's story. Restless is a bit of a bittersweet novella, but it is also a romance that beautifully highlights that a second chance at happiness and love is indeed possible even when the journey is long and bumpy.
If you've read this author's previous books, then you will recall that former rockstar Carter is also Zane's father from the band Less Than Zero. As I have been most curious about him, I was thrilled to capture a closer look into his past to discover why he is the way he is. Carter and Lianne were very young when they first connected , but their deep love for each other was undeniable. Witnessing everything they endured and how things unraveled was positively heartbreaking. Their relationship spans many years with moments of heartbreak, angst, and longing. But their journey is as also full of healing, redemption, & love.
Carter's character, for such a short story, was impeccably well-developed and the character growth was spot on. This man won me over! Lianne was a remarkable heroine that was so easy to relate to. My heart hurt for her many times over. I admired her strength and resilience to move forward and do what she needed to do even if it tore her apart in the process. Sharing a son together, their relationship could never be severed, but their intense love for each other could never be completely shattered either. Even with healing, hope, and redemption are forgiveness and second chances possible?
I am truly amazed that this author was able to elicit so many feels out of such a short novella. At times I was in tears as my heart was being crushed and other times I was smiling with happiness. I really enjoyed Carter and Lianne's story and I hope to see more of them in the future books. - Annas's Bookshelf recommended and rated this book 5 stars on BOOKBUB
From the Author
novel starring a fictionalized version of herself, her friends, and their
gorgeous rocker boyfriends at age 15. After living her own rock star life as a band
manager, music promoter, and mover and shaker in Seattle during the early 1990s,
Kaylene became a digital media legal strategist helping bring movies, television,
and music online. Throughout her busy career, Kaylene lost herself in romance
novels across all genres inspiring her to realize her life-long dream to be a
published author. She lives in Seattle with her amazing husband and Siberian Husky. She
loves to travel, throw lavish dinner parties, and support charitable causes
supporting arts and animals.
The Less Than Zero Seattle Rocks Series is her debut in the world
of rocker romances. Kaylene hopes you'll love the gorgeous, sexy, flawed
rockers and the strong, beautiful women who capture their hearts.
From the Inside Flap
series about the members of the rock band "Less Than Zero" and the strong,
sassy women who bring them to their knees.
It's a short read that should set the stage for ENDLESS and the rest of the series.
Each book in the Less Than Zero Series is written as an "interconnected" standalone, focusing on
the two main characters of that particular book. However, all of the characters'
stories take place simultaneously much of the time, so everyone pops up in everyone
else's book.
Bottom line you can read in any order, but if you want to soak up
every last detail of my characters and their antics, you will want to read all
of the books in the series, consecutively if possible!
I hope you enjoy!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022I can’t say how much I love this series. All of the characters are just amazing. But this little short story about Carter and Lianne was not as wonderful as the others. Don’t get me wrong it was a decent story but knowing what you know after reading all the other books it was a bit of a letdown. I love that Carter and Lianne Are finding their way back together. They’re needed to be something more. Can’t wait for the next books in this series… The series itself is a 10+

It always blows my mind when an author takes a story barely over 80 pages long and kicks me in the gut with it. And then I go and listen to the audiobook months later and I’m all up in my feelings AGAIN!!
Yeah, I might be a little more than crazy over all things LTZ and Kaylene Winter!
This is a prequel, but not your typical prequel. It’s not a before of any one band member or even the series, but kinda, LOL It’s the journey of Carter and Lianne, their baby boy Zane, and a glimpse of the future which is really the present if you’ve read the series. BTW, you should probably have read at least the first four books in this series before reading this short story, but for sure, Zane’s story in Timeless. I didn’t read it until I had read the entire series, but that’s just me being OCD lol Whichever format you pick, it's gonna be an emotionally-fueled journey!
Carter and Lianne’s story is heartbreaking but so real that my heart was full and all I could do the entire time I read (then listened) was fell hopeful. It’s a very realistic story that happens all the time, which gave it that air of realism I love so much in my romances.
I cannot recommend this entire series more. It is ridiculously well constructed, full of emotional hope, and very realistic.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2021Up and coming rock star Carter is smitten with Lianne, a ballerina in training. Both are young and are explosive together. When Lianne finds out she's pregnant, they both do their best to make it work with their hectic schedules. But things take an ugly turn when Carter gets caught up in the rock star lifestyle and he makes tragic and life-altering decisions that he can't erase. Years later their son Zane is on his way to stardom with his band Less Than Zero (LTZ). Carter is now sober, clean and doing what he can to make it up to his son for being a terrible father. He also believes there is still a chance that Lianne will take him back now that they are talking again and on good terms.
This is my first time reading this author's work and I went into this book blind, not realizing books 1 and 2 have already been written. This is a short novella condensed with Carter and Lianne's time together and apart. Carter screwed up big time and Lianne finally had enough and left, taking Zane with her. Now Zane is grown up and ready to follow in his father's steps. Book 1 is his bandmate Ty's book, a son to Carter and Zane's best friend. Looking at the band's best interest and not wanting them to repeat his past mistakes, it looks like Carter makes some decisions for the band that causes more damage than good. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Thank you Hidden Gems Books for a free copy of this book to review. I was also able to purchase it for free on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars True love is often a rollercoster not a straight line
This really filled in all the back story on Zane’s Dad Carter. You learn the motivation of a major decision he makes in a later book. A great prequel

5.0 out of 5 stars I need more now!
Heartbreaking and beautiful! That’s the only way to describe the relationship between Carter and Lianne. Masterfully written, with relationships being the driving force. Can’t wait to dive into the next book. I rarely give 5 stars. I have to enjoy every minute to warrant full marks.
