“Can one of these five rockstars fill the hole in my heart? Or will I stay broken forever?”
Young, dumb, and broke.
That’s what started everything. With five dollars in her pocket, and everything she owns stuffed in the back of her car, Lilith Goode’s life is over. Done. Destroyed.
Ten words. One text. That’s what it took to change the whole world.
A crumpled concert ticket. A chance encounter. That’s what it takes to start all over again.
Five rockstars. One girl. Six dark hearts, six withered souls.
But can one broken person really put another back together again?

REVIEW BY JG
GROUPIE BY C.M. STUNICH
MY RATING: 5 OF 5 STARS
Holy crap that was good! This right here is the reason why CM Stunich is my favourite author!!!
This story was wrong on so many levels and yet it rocked my Kindle! Naughty and totally licentious, this book tells the story of the pain and suffering of the five “Beauty in Lies” band members and the girl who changes their lives, for the better.
You’d be wrong to think this book is all about the group sex scenes as outlined in the story’s synopsis - yes, it really is MMMFMM!!! The sexual encounters are debauched and yet intensely intriguing - in a sideways head tilting kind of way - but readers also get to appreciate the complex personalities hidden beneath the bravado of each band member, and Lilith.
From the start of this book, there’s a cruel and unrelenting pain that Lilith carries with her following the news that the one man who she loves unreservedly, her father, has died. With her step-mother being cold and callous to Lilith, and with Lilith penniless and destitute, she is saved by a chance encounter with a man with kind eyes.
After deciding to sell her ex-boyfriend’s tickets to the Beauty in Lies concert, Lilith unexpectedly finds herself a VIP guest of the band and as a result, she catches the eye of Paxton Blackwell, the lead singer of Beauty in Lies. Pax is dismissive of Lilith, initially, but with post-gig sex a necessity for him, and Lilith ready and available to him, Pax gets drunk and takes Lilith back to the tour bus. With sex comes a place to sleep for Lilith, and with Pax’s beauty and English charms, she is willing to sacrifice her dignity in order to forget her problems, even if it’s only for one night. What Lilith doesn’t foresee though is that one sexual encounter soon turns into two sexual encounters as she finds herself having sex with yet another band member.
I swear, I think I’m addicted to these boys’ pain. And not because I want them to suffer, but because I want to save them from it. I want to bandage their wounds and staunch the bleeding of their hearts when what I really should be doing is that same thing for myself.
Lilith has no place in the world and the only tangible thing that she has to hold onto are her sexual encounters. What starts out as sex with one boy soon morphs into sex with four boys and whilst they are all happy to share her, Lilith starts to fall for each and every one of them, in part due to the emotional bonds that they share.
The only band member who plays hard to get is Michael Luxe, with a girlfriend stringing him along, he’s tempted by Lilith and he too sees something inextricable in her eyes that draws him to her. Michael is resentful of Lilith initially but still finds himself wanting a taste of what his friends are experiencing. He watches Lilith with his friends whilst struggling with his need to be faithful to his girlfriend but will his resolve hold out or will he too find himself snared by Lilith’s sexuality?
Having pledged eternal allegiance to Turner F***king Campbell, I now find myself drawn toward Michael, Pax, Derek/Muse, Ransom, and Cope. Yes, like Lilith, I can’t choose between them either! I can’t wait for the next instalment, Roadie, I’m sure it’s going to be as explosive as Groupie.
Who’s who in Groupie…
Paxton is the leader, covered in tattoos, and cocky as hell.
Michael is the bad boy determined to change his ways.
Ransom is the scarred one, dark and beautiful.
Muse is the practical one, the enigma with a silver mohawk.
Copeland is the boy next door with a penchant for reading romance novels.

Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn’t mind – especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.
She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she’s not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She’s the author of over thirty novels – romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There’s a heck of a lot to do there.
Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She’s already looking forward to it.
