The Rock Star's Wife series by Melina Druga

Get ready to rock because Cassandra’s story is about to take you on a wild ride.

Ever wondered what happens when sex, family drama, and enough rock & roll to deafen a small country collide? Buckle up, buttercup, because The Rock Star’s Wife series is about to blow your eardrums.

Step into the sultry, rhythm-infused life of Cassandra as she stumbles, struts, and occasionally face-plants her way from awkward teen to bold forty-something.  Cassandra’s world is a rollercoaster of raw honesty, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough sexual escapades to make your grandma blush. (Unless your grandma’s cool, in which case, she’ll probably want to borrow the books.)

As the years march on, Cassandra grapples with the highs and lows of relationships — both romantic and platonic. Whether she’s entwined in passionate dalliances or navigating her dysfunctional family, her story is a candid exploration of the world around her. With a sharp wit reminiscent of The Vagina Monologues, each book is guaranteed to keep you turning pages.

The eight books and four companion Christmas novellas (because even rock stars celebrate the holidays… with eggnog and questionable mistletoe encounters) is a potent cocktail of drama, humor, and enough spice to make you sweat along with unforgettable moments that resonate long after the final note fades.

Prepare for strong language, situations that would make a nun faint, and adult themes that explore the messy, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking realities of life, love, and the pursuit of a decent guitar solo.

So, if you’re looking for a series that doesn’t pull any punches, isn’t afraid to get a little raunchy, and will leave you laughing (and maybe reaching for a cold shower), then The Rock Star’s Wife is your new guilty pleasure. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Cassie is one of the most unforgettable characters that I read, and she has multi-levels, some she keeps to herself, making her also so realistic, as if she's your book-best friend.

The Christmas Gift

Set during the events of Family Upheaval, the last holiday novella in The Rock Star’s Wife series follows the Economos siblings and their mother as they try to find something to celebrate during the most wonderful time of the year.

I loved this continuing story about Cassandra Economos. It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. You will laugh. You will want to help her strangle her brother and you can feel the eye rolls. The main books in the series are written in Cassie's POV and at times like a diary entry. Once you start this series you can't wait for the next book.
