Emma has left her native England to embark on a new life and new college in the US with her cousin. They happen to rent an apartment where an up and coming rock star is living. What happens from there is your typical girl sees boy performing, gets excited. Boy sees girl, likes what he sees, but she's going to play hard to get.
At first I had a hard time getting into the story. I liked Emma enough, but Scott just seemed to into himself and came across as God's answer to women. Emma was able to talk him down a notch; however, it becomes difficult to fight the attraction, but of course, we know that these two will do what they can to try to what they can to maintain a facade of friendship while smoldering with a frenzied heat.
A fun read.

Excerpt from ROCKED UNDER:
His eyes widened and he looked up at the sky for a moment. "Why do you ask?" His voice was quiet.
"Ash told me that you've never had a girlfriend." Why was I talking about this with him?
He sighed before looking back down at me. "She told you that, but what she was really doing was warning you off me." He was looking at me seriously now.
"No," I lied, “she just told me." I looked away.
"I don't believe you, but I can understand her wanting to protect you, especially from me.” He shook his head. His tone had been serious but then he smiled softly at me.
I was momentarily stunned by him.
"You still haven't answered my question,” I reminded him gently.
“I…I’m not into relationships,” he shrugged as if it was nothing, but I knew he was lying.
"So, basically, you sleep around because you can get away with it and you think that having a girlfriend would hold you back and you'd get bored."
Very briefly, I saw his face crease with pain, but it happened so fast that I could have imagined it.
"Why? Were you thinking of applying for the position?" His grin was cheeky as he steered our conversation back onto safer ground.
I blushed. If only he knew how much I thought about him.
"Wow, is that a blush?" He looked surprised and then laughed loudly.
"Shut up!" I cringed as I punched his shoulder, my face burning hotter. "And no, I wasn't applying for anything, I'm seeing Adam, remember? I'm sort of taken,” I said proudly, holding my head high.
He sobered then and looked up again at the sky.
"He's lucky,” I thought I heard him say under his breath.
"Huh?"
"I said, ‘he's lucky’. But if he treats you bad, he's going to turn unlucky real quick." He looked serious.
