Hard Rock Roots is one of C.M. Stunich’s longest and earliest series, following musicians and their love interests through the chaos of the rock world. The ten books, from Real Ugly (2013) through Screw Up (2017), chart relationships against a backdrop of tours, band drama, and the excess of the music industry.
The series was a key part of Stunich’s early career, tapping into the rock-star romance trend that was popular in new adult fiction during the mid-2010s. Titles like Bad Day, Get Bent, and Heart Broke give a sense of the emotional turbulence that drives the stories.
