Sexiest Rock Stars (And What
Makes Them So Hot!) with Dawn Ryder
Let’s face it, there is something about a man in leather, who can bring
a stadium to its feet. I know there are all sorts of different music out there
but heavy metal in all its formats has a certain, gut-wrenching appeal that
just gets girls wanting to squeal. So here are a few of my favorites:
David Bowie – Okay, I’m an 80’s child and there was this little movie
called “Labyrinth.” Now I don’t care if you hated the Muffat/D&D/Princess
Bride concoction that was this movie, there was one thing that made it worth
your attention…David Bowie in Regency garb. And when he opened his mouth and
those deep vocals came out with a rhythm that had you squirming in your
seat…well, he made my top three male singer list for sure. Besides, his Goblin
King makeup was amazing and I actually based a lot of Syon, the hero of Rock Me Two Times, on this character.
I think next is Tim McGraw – Fine, he isn’t a heavy metal musician, but
he is absolutely lick-able. There are a lot of reasons that I find this man
fascinating, one of which is his music writing range. Everything from songs
about ‘being a bad boy but a real good man’ to something soul wrenching like
‘Live like you were dying.’ The music moves something inside me and that was
exactly what I wanted to come across in this book, Rock Me Two Times. I wanted to take readers to the person behind
the fame, the one that struggles with self-esteem like every one of their fans
and also has to contend with the fact that because they are at the top, they
know everyone is going to judge what they come out with next. Sure, I wanted
Syon to be a strong hero type, but I also wanted the reader to see that he had
a need for a soul mate too.
For my last pick, I’m going with a classic, Elvis Presley – This icon
had a lot of the elements I felt were essential to my hero, Syon, in Rock Me Two Times. One was his love of
his music. Elvis actually recorded more songs than most musicians ever do. He
wanted to have a television show that showed him and his band working out new
music, but was told it wouldn’t hold the attention of their audience. That sort
of devotion to his craft amazes me. Elvis had music in his soul, I mean, he
actually thought in it. I wanted Syon to be that way, to have his music be the
root of his entire being and to have Kate come in and recognize the artist in
him.
There are so many types of passion, and music is one that the world
stops and listens to. If I’m lucky, someday, one of my books will captivate a
reader just as completely as some of the great songs out there that everyone
knows.

Rock star Syon Braden writes and plays the most extreme—and

platinum record, adoring fans, and success for his band Toxsin—but it’s what he
can’t have that he craves. Custom leather designer Kate Napier has her sights
set on success, and that means keeping irresistible rock stars like Syon out of
her bed. The chance to tour with the band and provide them with a fantastic
custom wardrobe is too major an opportunity to turn down. But immersion in the
dark, wild world of Toxsin on tour means Kate’s about to get rocked…hard…body
and soul.
