With one kiss she was his. From USA Today bestselling author Terri Anne Browning, comes a new ROCKER series—Tainted Knights. All it took was one look, one kiss. The promises he made—I should have known better. He was a rock star and I had no time for a guy like him in my life. I fell anyway. I believed his promises. Held onto them and waited. But the thing about rockers is that their private lives are never truly private. Seeing him on the cover of a national tabloid shouldn’t have surprised me. Seeing him with two women all over him? That nearly broke me. Now the memory of that first magical kiss was TAINTED. *NEW SERIES *STANDALONE

5.0 out of 5 stars So So Amazing

Welcome to the new rocker series by Terri Anne Browning. If you are a fan of Demon's Wings or Other World welcome the new band. We meet this group in Catching Lucy but in that book it revolves around Jace's relationship with Harison. In this book we get the sory of Kale and Santana. Santana is the girl that Emmie is trusting to be her new photographer. However one look at Kale and she finds her brain is shutting down. Santana really needs to make a name for herself to be able to work the jobs she wants to not have to take everything that is brought to her. Santana has her own demons though that she wonders if they will keep her from love forever. Kale is just looking for a good time and ready to be the rock-star he has planned on always being. One look at Santana though and all that flies out the window. Where he use to be looking forward to the new tour and life on the road now all he thinks is this will take him from his girl. Can these two find a HEA or will their past and present demons make that impossible?

This is an amazing start to this series, and another super hit for this author. There is so much that I want to tell you about this book. However I don't want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Good start to the Tainted Knights series. It's not as angst-filled as many rocker readers crave but it was sweet, sexy & had a great cast of characters.

Although Kale & Santana's relationship was insta-love (& I mean wicked fast insta-love), it still felt natural & was genuinely believable... and I adored that about them. They made for a perfect match. I can definitely see them, as well as Jace & Kin, serving as the voices of reason in future books in the series. Watch out Sin...

I was actually surprised that the relationship drama was pretty much limited to a single photograph. There were hardly any groupies, no scorned ex-lovers or crazy-a** psychos but I guess I shouldn't be saying anything... because they'll probably end up coming out in full-force in the rest of the guys' books! #eeek #knockonwood

Really liked how supportive the band members were of each other & how they're really like one giant, loud, happy (albeit stubborn at times) family. It got a bit crowded at times (with all of the roommates, step-siblings & friends horning in) but those supporting characters were vital for Kale & especially Santana, so I'm glad they were written into the story.

CANNOT WAIT to get my #grabbyhands on Gray & Kassa's story! I NEED that happily ever after STAT because I can taste Kassa's heartache already.

5.0 out of 5 stars I still love her books!

From the first book to this one... I still love Terri Anne's writing. You can see how much she has grown as a writer too. I remember coming across the very first Rocker book. It had the original cover and only had a handful of reviews. I had loved Emmie from word go! Now, she's still creating characters I love. I also love the fact that she stays with the rocker books. So many authors go to so many different themes... which well, she does with her bikers and mafia men...but she always come back to the rockers! I also LOVE LOVE the fact that all of her books entertwine in some way! I LOVE THAT! Some how, some way all of her series come together. I wish more authors did that, I really do. I seem to end up sticking with the authors who do because of that.
She has started a series with a whole new band Tainted Knights that include members...Jace (who we've met before in a previous book), Kale, Gray, Sin and Cash. This one is about Kale. He is a genuine character. He has a great personality and heart. He knows what he wants and goes for it...and that is Santana. Santana is a great girl. She has a strong female character who also knows herself and what she wants. She has her bumps and scrapes, but overall I really liked her. This is a quick romance. They fall for each other hard and quick. I do like that. That tends to be how it is for some people. They just know and since both of these characters are strong willed and sure footed, it fit them.
I am excited to get the other guys' stories now! I cannot want for Sin or Cash. Those two appealed to me the most. She created some great new characters that I will be just as great as any of her others!

When TerriAnne Browning says she is writing another new Rocker Series you say when and then you go and buy it.
Tainted Knights is book one in her new series and you will be hooked from the very first page.
We have met these rockers in Lucy & Harris's stories but now they are going to go on the road and become that famous band that they were destined to become.
We meet all the guys but Tainted Knights is Kale Conway's story. The drummer for the band, he's a great guy, a great friend to his band mates but when they show up for a photo shoot he is left tongue tied when he meets Santana Palmer.
Santana Palmer is a photographer who is also a woman who has been through a lot in her life between family and friends but when she meets Tainted Knights she doesn't see anyone but Kale Conway.
The connection between the two seems almost immediate and the You definitely feel it with each turn of the page. Can trust and a separation of a tour tear them apart or will the feelings they have for each other be strong enough to keep them together. You definitely will cheer this couple on throughout this book because they both seem perfect for each other.

I was hoping this was gonna be a pot of gold so I gave it a shot but nope it was far from I don't know if I'll read the others in this series. I didn't feel a connection to the main characters at all in this book which is so sad because all of Terris other books have hit me deep this one just didn't cut it for me.

The story was interesting but it was too sweet. Both characters were over the board with their affection to each other. I love hero being hundred percent sure of his feelings and alpha but here he was too much. Heroine was too lame and easy to manipulate, simply boring.

Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen. Der Schreibstil war schön, wenn auch mit sehr vielen Rechtschreibfehlern.
Die Insta-Love-Geschichte von Kale und Santana war super süß und ehrlich gesagt nicht wirklich besonders, hat aber trotzdem Spaß gemacht zu lesen.

I am in love with Kale and Santana. I love every single one of Terri Anne's rocker books. This one is from the beginning of a new band that was also mentioned in Lucy's Books.
I was on a rollercoaster ride with Kale and his band, Santana and her roommate and love. My heart was in my throat most of the time and half the time it was beating wildly, wanting to know more. I couldn't put the book down as I needed to know more right away. I'd fall asleep and still be dreaming about the story feeling like I was in the book with them.

Can't wait for more.
Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
