Summary
Sparks fly when a cynical rocker recovering from trauma meets a vibrant, upbeat man. But will an ex who’s determined to exploit their past wounds rip them apart?
Silas Brown
I’m the rhythm guitar player in a pop-punk band and I’m tired of being called a hero.
I’m also done with crazy.
After taking down a mass shooter, I’m trying to survive and recover.
Then out of nowhere, this colorful dude pleas for help and what do I do? Save him. Of course, he’s really attractive and probably crazy. Now he’s found me at work, wants to meet for coffee and so much more.
Do I lower my defenses and let him in?
Cash Phillips
After a childhood of neglect and foster care, I’ve defeated my past and clawed my way to happiness.
Now I’m ready to meet Mr. Right and I know he’s out there.
He might even be Silas, the one who saved me from being robbed. He’s cranky and oh so adorable and I know he’s the yin to my yang.
How can I make him see I’m not the crazy man he thinks I am?
When Silas’ ex comes at us with her brand of emotional abuse, Silas tries to shield me. But when she’s the one needing help, will it tear us apart or bring us all together?
Light Me Up is the fourth book in the Rock U series and is part of the Mesa Boys universe. This novel features a grumpy man falling for another who’s all sunshine, hurt/comfort, and a bad-boy rocker recovering from past trauma and emotional abuse. It guarantees an HEA and has no cliffhangers. It features a cynical college student with a big heart, and a man who’s perpetually positive and knows what he wants. Each book features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Brilliant continuation of the series
I have been thoroughly enjoying the Rock U series by Christie Gordon.
Not only is the writing and story brilliant but the narration is fantastic, with the voices sounding just how I imagined the characters too.
Highly recommended.

Two hearts
I’ve really enjoyed listening to the Rock U series by Christie. Each band member is so much more than just a musician. Silas, though, has been one of the more enigmatic characters to watch as he’s evolved. He took down a mass shooter. But that comes with all kind of guilt because his friend was injured. Because people died. Then, he has another opportunity to step in and help someone in distress. Of course he helps. He’s Silas. He doesn’t know how to do anything else.
Turns out he helped Cash who, in turn, finds reasons to get to know Silas better. But Silas as got problems. One in particular. A nasty ex-girlfriend who is just…awful. Almost caricature like in her meanness. With a toxic mother to boot. Silas needs to get out from under that situation, but he finds it hard to extricate himself. Enter Cash to offer support.
The guys are good together, but when Silas’s past reappears yet again, it’s Cash who steps up and does the right thing. I’ll say that I dislike people who are manipulators (have one or two in my life). The extreme in this book was pretty sharp. But it gave Cash and Silas the opportunity to bond. The grumpy to the sunshine. The foster kid with the loving family to the band member whose family is also almost entirely found.
This was a great listen and I enjoyed it immensely. I’ve enjoyed all the books in the series. I’ll also say Finnley Cole is a good narrator and I really enjoy what he’s done with these books. Well worth a listen.

Great addition to the series.
This is the fourth book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. Each book follows a different member of a rock band. In this book the main character is Silas, the rhythm guitar player, and his love interest is Cash.
Silas is a grumpy person and Cash is pure sunshine. Both men are recovering from past trauma and one of the things I really loved in this book was that it really showed the importance of being in therapy.
It was a bit too insta love for my personal taste but I still enjoyed it very much. I finished it in a day, the pacing was great, and I liked the chemistry between Silas and Cash.
The narrator was brilliant, he really brought the characters to life and the audiobook quality was excellent. I can't wait to read more books in the series.

super
Reread through audiobook. Excellent narration, this could easily become a favourite narrator for me. I already really enjoyed the story and hearing it made it even better.
4.5 stars ebook review. There are quite a lot of external issues for these MCs, but that made it all the better that they could be there for each other. The relationship developed really quickly but it didn't feel too fast. It's especially good that both are in therapy and allowed to be vulnerable, and that all their friends support this. I really felt how awful it must be to have a stalker and the twist in the ending there was really well done.

Fun opposites
When Cash is getting robbed, luckily Silas saves him.
Silas has so much going on in his life. He feels burdened by being labeled as a hero when he feels his actions are what anybody should do. He also is being stalked by his abusive ex Mia who he has not figured out how to deal with that situation. He is gaining the reputation of being totally cynical about life.
Then there is Cash. He has had his share of problems but has learned to sort of deal with them. When faced with his savior Silas, there is this instant attraction between them that Cash just won’t let go of.
This is such an entertaining story. Two different personalities that somehow fit. I really enjoyed the narration by Finnley Cole. I hope to listen to more in this series.
