Encore is the third installment in the Back Up
Series by AM Madden. This series follows the Rock Band: Devil's Lair
(DL). In the first two books, there was a lot of different changes and
evolving of the characters. The members of the band all grew because of
their experiences with each other. They have lived through spending time
together during their tours, sadness, love, tragedy, and have grown closer.
This book had me in an emotional state for majority of the book. There
were times when I laughed so hard I had tears. I also had moments of sadness
that made me teary eyed. And there was definitely a moment where my heart
melted in to a puddle of nothing at the sweetness factor. Actually a few
times I felt my heart melt for these characters that I have grown to adore.
Encore centers on three relationships. The first is of Jack and Leila,
after they have been married, where Front & Center left off. They are
making adjustments and transitions of life as a couple and as rockstars.
The second is of Evan and Liz. Evan's dreams are coming to fruition
and has been living in a world where his life has come full circle. He
gained a sister and a father when secrets of his mother were revealed.
Their band, the Cliffhangers, has been given the great opportunity to
open for DL on tour. The last relationship is from Lori and Matt.
Lori is fickle in making up her mind. She is in the relationship
with Matt, but feels that there is something missing. She has become a great
Manager for the Cliffhangers. She is distrustful of Matt, but feels she is
settling for him because she doesn't feel the spark between them.
All of these couples will go through a few obstacles before finding answers to
questions that they have been asking. Will Jack and Leila find the balance?
Will everything be fine with Evan and Liz? Is Lori and Matt a passing
phase? This book is beautifully written. There are a few surprises
that I was unaware of, but I was pleasantly surprised. I cried at all the
sappy moments and feel sad that this chapter in their lives are coming to a
conclusion. This series has been a great one and I have fallen in love
with each and everyone of them for being so close knitted. One Click it!

Jack & Leila
Warning: This book is meant for mature readers who are 18+. It contains explicit language, and graphic sexual content.
You’ve read Back-up, you’ve read Front & Center, and you want an encore?
Jack and Leila have had to deal with some devious nonsense in their lives. But now, life is real good.
Find out what they’ve been up to. Travel into the future with Jack, Leila and all their friends. Put to rest your questions of “What happened to …”
If you are looking for heartbreak, angst or drama, look elsewhere. Encore is meant to produce a long and breathy sigh.
I hope you enjoyed the journey of these amazing people half as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Happy Reading!
