#LoveIsLove

As a child, I trusted no one.
Then I found my best friends.
They gave me a family and saved me from a life of abuse that still has me messed up.

Then one of those best friends captured my heart.
Lincoln, tough yet tender, a walking contradiction.
He loves me too—flaws and all.
He’s the most patient man on the earth and understands my PTSD.

What he doesn’t understand is why our being intimate makes me feel “dirty”.
He’s not one of the men who abused me, and he’d never hurt me. I know this. I believe it.
Still, the “dirty” creeps in even though I know what we do together is anything but.

He’s here now and he’s going to stay.
It’s time for me to talk to someone professionally.
I need to shed my unhealthy past in order to have a healthy future with the man I love.
If I don’t, I just might lose the best thing that’s ever happened to me—and there’s not enough therapy in the world to get me through that.

REFRAIN is a m/m romance that has multiple POVs, real life struggles and battles, abuse, new life, and tragedy.

OMG Anne you've done it again. A cliff hanger ending to a superbly written MM book. Love your style girl. Looking forward to September's offerings. I'm sure in my excitement I've missed some clues. I'll have to reread to find them!

I have been hanging out for these two, and it didn't disappoint. I loved that the foundation of their terms so strong. The fact that nothing shakes that foundation is amazing, yes There is outside problems but it doesn't affect the love they share. Ethan working through is issues with a therapist and actually communicating was nice to see. So many books glance over that men have troubles that may need more help too. Seeing the rest of the family and how everything is going was great.
There were twists and turns and the ending leaves us hanging for what's next.

A little bit of a mess

Reviewed in Australia on 22 July 2019

This book is a little bit of a mess to be honest. I found the writing to be stilted, and despite it being part of a frankly too long series, I wanted and needed background in how Ethan and Linc got together. I wanted the butterflies stage, the newness, the exciting part of first being together. We got none of that.
The timeline when taken into account of all the other books is all over the place, as are some of the details. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Dave one of Lucy’s favourite reporters in Rockstar 1? If not this specific one, a name change would be wise.
I also found it hard at times to distinguish POVs. Again, there’s several in this book, some of whom I felt aren’t needed and add to the messiness.
There’s also Spanish in parts which aren’t entirely explained and led me to skimming them. I have no problem with a second language, but only if it’s made clear what’s being said.
I love MM books, but unfortunately for me, this didn’t feel like a MM book. It felt like a normal MF book but with two guys. Isn’t that good? I hear you ask. It is, but MM usually, for me, have something special and this book didn’t. I also wasn’t keen that Cage mentioned fans would be disappointed both Ethan and Linc are gay. Seriously? What the hell?
All in all, I wanted to like this book. I hoped it would get the series back on track, but it just adds to the mess it’s grown into. And don’t get me started on the randomness of the Joey situation... a little lost for me.

Linc and Ethan

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2019

M/M is not something that I would normally read. Anne has written a beautiful romance. Linc and Ethan’s love is passionate and I really enjoyed Refrain. However I did feel that the book just ended.... I wanted more. I can’t wait for the next rockstar book

Reviewed in Australia on 22 July 2019

Refrain is a M/M story about Ethan and Linc. Let me say that Anne has outdone herself. Ethan has always struggled with his past and here he gets to work through his demons with Linc at his side. While their story is told, there are many side stories, one of which literally blows your mind and ends with a cliffhanger. Loved it ♥️

A love story of the ages

Reviewed in the United States on 7 August 2019

So worth the wait. This story is about Ethan and Linc's life long love.

As a child Ethan had been abused and ran away from his home to stay with Xander and his father. There house is where everyone hung out, their safe place. Linc of course was one of the crew, he was also everyones protector, and became Ethans safe place.

As they grow older, Linc becomes more than just Ethans safe place, he becomes his everything. And Ethan is the only person Linc can see himself with, as far as Linc is concern Ethan belongs to him.

This book is their journey from childhood friend to adults who not only need but love each other and how their friends and family respond and support them.

Such a wonderful love story, one I shall re-read multiple times.

Absolutely Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2019

I was pulled into this story from the beginning and stayed there until I had finished every single word that had been written. All the time I had my mini movie playing in my head.
There are surprises throughout the story, some are large and some are small, some you will see coming where as with others you won't. But each and everyone holds equal importance within the story and adds to your enjoyment of the book
I went on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this book, I found myself crying at place, because I was so happy for the characters. I felt each and every emotion that the characters went through. I did find myself holding my breath while reading certain parts, I know i cried way more than any character in this book. But thats nothing new.
With each and every book in this series i have always felt as if I was right there with the character and I felt that way with this book.
I have to admit this is one of my top favourite Rockstar series.
Anne Mercier has done herself, her characters and her readers an exceptional book, as far as i am concerned, this story is one of my favourites, I love both of the characters in this story, I feel as if I know them personally.
