Lovely Madness: A Players Rockstar Romance (Players, Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Jaine Diamond (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

490 ratings

Book 4 of 4: Players

A heart-wrenching, tortured hero romance, featuring a broken man in need of redemption and the lively heroine who sees through the madness to the man worth saving.

He was lost when I found him…

Everyone says that Cary Clarke, former rock star and reclusive music producer, is crazy.
That he fell apart after the death of his best friend.
That he shut everyone out and locked himself away.
That nothing matters to him anymore but music.

Maybe they’re right.

I don’t even know why he let me in.
I was only supposed to meet him once. But then once turned into so much more.
When I look into his eyes, there's just something about this man I can't walk away from.
And the deeper I get into his world… the less I ever want to leave.

Maybe I’m crazy to fall for a man whose heart is already broken.
Maybe I should’ve known this could only end in more heartbreak—for both of us.

But when you find something this precious in the darkness, it’s only natural to want to bring it out into the light… no matter what it costs you.

Review

"I loved this story!! ... it's addictive, raw, real, intense, and beautiful. I fell for the characters hard core and was rooting for them. ... The way Jaine writes just sucks you in... I cried. I laughed. I got hot and bothered. I cried some more." - Two Book Pushers

"A spectacular read with all the feels... This book is a phenomenal, gripping read with an original storyline & uniqueness of characters that put me through a roller coaster of emotions. From heartbreak to swooning, from tears to laughter, and from despair to hope, this emotionally charged romance was so beautifully written that I couldn't help but be immersed within the pages of this book." - Anna's Bookshelf

"I am an emotional mess right now. In a good way. ... a beautiful roller-coaster of a novel. I don't think I've felt so many highs and lows in a book. ... The raw emotion and passion between them was alive (!!) and leapt from the page." - Always a Happy Ending

"Lovely Madness is nostalgia and heartbreak and joyfulness all rolled up in one. Words cannot describe how much this book wrecked me in the best possible way, but just know that this book is special and it is absolutely one that you need to read." - Ga Books LoverX blog

"Jaine has truly outdone herself with this heartbreaking story, it is absolutely amazing and definitely one of my favourites of this year. Do yourself a favour and read this. ... Jaine's writing in this story is beyond words and so beautifully done ... 5 stars and so many more!!" - Comfy Couch Book Reviews

"She has a way of writing amazing characters with such depth and love. ... Both characters, Taylor and Cary, are well developed, relatable and above all, loveable. ... Jaine exceeded all of my expectations of this book" - The Girl That Writes Books

"Phenomenal! ... I laughed and cried, and my heart broke for Cary... This is an absolute must read, along with the other books in the Players series (and also the Dirty series). You will not be disappointed." - Romance Nerd Reviews

Worth the heartache and craziness!!

To say I'm a Dirty/Player fan I think is a complete understatement. That gives you an idea of how much I love the work of the wonderful Jaine Diamond! While I love all of them for different reasons, Ashley is my whole heart. But Cary hit me hard, my anxiety, the depression, the PTSD; it's all so very familiar to me. I have suffered with the same since childhood. The way that Jaine depicted Cary's issues, I was blown away. I loved how Taylor didn't judge him but instead did the best she could to give the support he needed; something that most who deal with with this horrible disease don't get. I love the fact that we go HEA but it is still an ongoing battle for him. Okay, so enough with the heavy. Omg if you love rock-n-roll romance (lots of details) and a lot of humor, just be careful of where you are when you read this book because YOU WILL LAUGH SO HARD, you will either pee your pants or anyone around will look at you like you have lost you mind!
But if you are like me you probably can't help yourself, just like with any of Jaines books!! As always, lots of hot sexy times but always so much more. Some loose ends that I was dieing to see have been tired up, oh so beautifully. But one I'm still waiting on--Matt!!! While I wait for the amazing work of Jaine, I will leave you with what I think is the best quote "This my favorite day that I have ever been alive"!

So worth the wait!

There is so much I want to say about this book but most of it would come under the definition of spoilers. So I’ll refrain (and that’s taking a lot of restraint!).

But let me say this... with each book in the Dirty and Players series, Jaine Diamond has stretched herself and always gone for the big stories, not for just “fluffy” rockstar romances. This book has some serious heat but also tackles some real issues in a wonderful, authentic way. Cary and Taylor take us on their journey and by the end it’s such a painful thing to have to leave them behind; you just want to keep being involved in their future. I loved this book: I love the love, the heat, the anguish, the humor, the visits with old friends and I absolutely adore the meaningful music woven through the story. I’ll never again listen to my fave Stones’ song, Gimme Shelter, in quite the same way.
Did you read and love Kristen Callihan’s rockstar book “Fall”? If you did I’ll bet you’ll feel the same about Lovely Madness. So don’t wait one more minute; dip your toe into the latest book from Jaine Diamond’s Dirtyverse!

I felt so much sympathy for Cary, there were times I actually had tears in my eyes as I read how he struggles with the death of his best friend (among other things), then tears of happiness when he FINALLY finds someone whom he can connect with on the deelest of levels.
I first started reading Jaine's "Dirty" series where Cary's first mentioned. He had my interest from day one, so when she came out with this book, I immediately dropped the roadie book I was half way into, and started this one. Could barely put it down! It's THAF GOOD!!!!!!! "Lovely
Cary's far from "perfect", with flaws, hang-ups and a small ton of issues, but once the woman who he can't get his mind off of enters his life, well, like the old song says, his "future's so bright" he "hasta wear shades". :-)
Thank you, Jaine, for the entire "Dirty" and "Players" series! Bravo!!!

Wonderfully Written!

What can you say about Jaine Diamond that is good enough to praise her books? The sympathy and empathy she shows her characters make you dream of having friends just like them. The pace of her plots is perfect. You're holding your breath until you almost can't stand it and then she brings you in for a rest, with an explanation as to why you felt that way and how to live within it.
The moment I see a Jaine Diamond book go live, no matter what else I'm reading, I rush to download her book and start it immediately.
Maybe this ever expanding length of time staying home is perfectly made for reading the entire series all over again. I know it would not be time wasted.

Best of the series

I absolutely love this series and the Dirty series. I adore Ashley and he is still my fave character, but I am I glad Jaine gave us Taylor and Cary’s story since I think I connected to Taylor more than I ever have to any other character, and I think Cary may be the most interesting character I have ever read. I couldn’t wait to get to Cary’s story and I am extremely happy with it after reading. Jaine took several very difficult subjects and wrote about them with class. I also listened to the audio while I read the book, and it was amazing, the narrators were perfect for the characters. Looking forward to the next book of the series! I was poop

I got in this series due the moments app, and I get impatient so I purchased all the books in the series and then moved on the players , when you first meet cary your heart breaks for the personal hell has been through, and you cry along with Taylor for the heartache she endures , and at one point your sitting there scratching your head saying why, and getting annoyed at cary and then hoping Taylor will be ok again , but you get your HEA this book seriously puts your through the ringer with the will they or wont they be together at the end .

So in love with this story that delves into deep troubles and gives them light and beauty (amongst the horrors of anxiety & panic attacks). This love story was perfection. Truly met and exceeded all expectations. Love their instant connection and heat!! Love we still get the people from Dirty as well as more of the Players. God, I wish their music was real (I can hear their styles through the Vortex playlists...so thank you for that, Jaine)! Excellent book! Now I can’t wait for the next one!

Another Jaine Diamond masterpiece!!!

I was so looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint me in any way. I was all over the place with my emotions. My heart broke for Cary with his crippling fear that he suffered most of his life only for it to be compounded by the death of his best friend Gabe. When Taylor walks into his life she becomes his light. They do go through alot of their own troubles including a months long breakup which only made them more miserable. I will read this book again in the future. Loved it and its an amazing addition to the Players series.

Beautiful, emotional and heartbreaking. Players perfection!

Lovely Madness (4th in the Players series) is a beautiful roller-coaster of a novel. I don't think I've felt so many highs and lows in a book. If you've read any of the Dirty/Players series of books then this is a must read. All the beloved characters from both series feature and the climactic payoff of the ending is just incredible.

Jaine has captured the debilitating emotions of loss and guilt and mental health struggles. I sobbed so many times whilst reading. This book just gutted me.

Cary was such an intriguing character from Xander and Courteney's story. I didn't realise his story would be the one to overshadow them all (even Ashley!). He was so broken and eaten up with guilt and grief. And then along came Taylor. The raw emotion and passion between them was alive (!!) and leapt from the page. The love that all the characters feel for Cary is so strong that you cannot help but cheer for him on his journey (even when he makes some pretty major mistakes).

And oh how I felt for Taylor. The long standing best friend to Danica with the friendly and loveable personality. She lays her heart on the line and tries so valiantly to be strong and do the right thing.

I could go on all evening about the strengths of this book. This is my definite favourite of the Players series so far. I'm going to invest in the audiobook now to relive the beauty of Lovely Madness. And hopefully I won't cry on the bus this time.

It took a lot for Cary to redeem himself, previously he hadn’t been a character l liked. His cold fish ways around those that truly loved him and refusal to even talk to his sister when she needed him, nope l didn’t take to him. Here Jaine with her genius, showed Cary for being the deeply sensitive broken man who wasn’t in control of his behaviour. As someone who has struggled with her own mental health from childhood, his thoughts and feelings rang true, l shed tears. Taylor is the one person who can bring him into life, to live again. A beautiful love story, and two people who become a stronger together. I loved this book, l love all the Player stories, thank you Jaine Diamond.

Phenomenal! An Absolute must read ♡︎

This is the highly anticipated book 4 in the Players Rockstar Romance series, featuring Cary’s story, and it was phenomenal!! You are pulled in and become immersed in the story from the very start. This book is an intriguing, touching, and gripping story, giving you all of the emotions. I laughed and cried, and my heart broke for Cary and everything he had been through, but he copes the only way he knows how, by cutting himself off from the world, and focusing on his work, music is his passion. I loved Taylor. She is a strong, independent woman, who is smart, straight to the point, with a caring heart. The chemistry between these two characters was apparent from their first meeting, they had such an instant connection. Jaine Diamonds explanation of the many different types of anxieties help to understand how Cary must have been feeling, and how different it can be for each individual person. This is an absolute must read, along with the other books in the Players series (and also the Dirty series). You will not be disappointed.

Best in the Players series yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2020

I've been waiting with great anticipation for this book in the acclaimed Players series and it didn't disappoint. After all those months of waiting, I've devoured it the first day of release. I got the feels, I cried, I laughed, then I cried some more. The author deals with some sensitive issues in the book in a very realistic and authentic manner and has obviously done her research on these issues and on the music industry itself. As usual the songs used in the book help set the scene and the author's storytelling is wonderful. Whilst this book can be read as a standalone, I'd advise readers to read the Dirty series and then the Players series in order before tackling Cary & Taylor's story. That way you can appreciate how the author manages to weave details from the other books into this one seamlessly. If you've ever accidentally sent a photo or a sext to the wrong person, there is an amazing scene you will emphasize with and howl with laughter at. Just the right balance of angst and laughs in this book and as always the character's dialogue is spot on. I loved this.

Not going to do a spoiler review as i think the others have far too much info in them - if you haven’t read the Dirty/players books do that first, I really enjoyed this one but as always I’m more interested in what’s going on in ash’s life and live on the hope that he gets out of life what he really wants and desires. But I liked this book really not been keen on the last two but it’s nearly to her best but it wasn’t one of those books that I couldn’t put down I wasn’t up to 4am reading it but really looking forward to Matts story fingers crossed it will save Ash’s ending too.
