LOYALTY is the fourth book in L.P. Maxa's RiffRaff Records series. As with the previous books in this series, L.P. Maxa explores the highs and lows of a rock and roll celebrity family. The Devil's Share extended family is a hodgepodge of quirky characters with high sex drives. There might be a lot of lies told by the younger set in this family, but there is also a lot of genuine affection and loyalty. In LOYALTY, Katie Cadence and Cash Matthews meet and it's love at first sight.

Because her parents passed away suddenly, before ever getting a chance to know them, Katie Cadence's brother has been the father figure in her life. A loving, yet overly protective, father which has left Katie a little sheltered. The Devil's Share brood are far from sheltered and indulge in quite a few things that are new to Katie. When Katie is shuffled off to The Devil's Share compound, her mind is blown, and she experiences a freedom she's never known. The last thing she expected was to find romance. Luckily for Katie, she's safe with Cash as she learns to let go. Cash proves to be more caring boyfriend than teenage horn dog. Things quickly get super steamy between Cash and Katie, but L.P. Maxa does a good job of providing an age appropriate perspective for the young lovers. Although their parents are rock royalty, this hero and heroine are not jaded and cynical when it comes to love. The love story between Cash and Katie provides LOYALTY with plenty of charm. The conflict surrounding Cash's twin brother Crue and his shenanigans provides plenty of drama. Crue's behavior in LOYALTY provides an interesting contrast to Cash and help define Cash's character.

LOYALTY is a compelling story about family and a love story that's a little bit sweet and spicy. This is my favorite story, so far, in L.P. Maxa's RiffRaff Records series. I can't wait for Crue to grow up and gain some sense by the time his story rolls around. I look forward to L.P. Maxa's next romance novel.

Book Summary

Twins Cash and Crue Matthews are as close as brothers can be. Cash would do anything for Crue, so much so he lived a lie - a huge lie - for over a year. Cash doesn't know who he's angrier with, himself for doing it, or Crue for asking. Either way, Cash feels like crap. Then, Mason Maxwell's sweeter than sin daughter, Katie Cadence, drops into his life and Cash has a new purpose. But...how will she react to his secret, and can he risk losing her by telling the truth?

Katie Cadence's parents have treated her like she'd evaporate in the rain. True, her beginning was so tragic the news media covered it for years. But, damn. She wants to break free and take chances. When she's banished to the Devil's Share compound, she expects more of the same, only to find the Devil's Spawn know how to live, and Katie is all in for spreading her wings. Who's offered to give her the guided tour: Cash Matthews. Falling in love isn't on her list of firsts, but when it hits she has no choice but to go with it.
