A Rock Star. An architect. A love story.

Through swoon, laughter, and heartbreaking truths, Gabrielle G. writes a novel depicting love with a mental disorder, with an incredible story filled with all the expectations of a Rockstar romance.

When freshly divorced Anna Spencer meets Dan Darling, she doesn’t want to be another notch on the Rockstar’s belt. But the sexy and irresistible lead singer of the Darling Devils has already fallen in love and won’t take no for an answer.

What follows is five incredible days until Dan has to leave on tour. Despite the promise to come back to her, Dan soon wonders if what he feels for the redhead is a product of the mental disorder, he and his band have kept secret for years.

Breaking their love story before it really has the chance to start, Dan shows Anna that she should have never trusted him.

And when Dan realizes his feelings are the real deal, it is up to a very skeptical Anna to decide if she can be the girlfriend of a bipolar Rockstar.

★★★★★ "This is one epic read that will send your emotions on quite a roller coaster ride of feels. " Goodreads Review.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Should One Click This Book!!
Reviewed in Australia on 13 November 2019
This is a story about two damaged souls who tried to find solace and take chances on their chance meeting at a bar. Dan Darling, lead singer of the Darling Devils, overheard Anna, her ex and his new wife at a bar and he could see the struggle Anna was having with those two so he swooped in to save the pretty lady by pretending to be her date on her birthday. Ah, sweet justice!! The new wife was a huge fan of Dan’s and was left standing there with her mouth hanging open.

Anna’s story was about struggling to overcome her past since finally conceiving after so many years only to lose her baby and then find her husband in his office having an affair with his current wife. Trust was a big thing and the idea she could never have a baby again.

Dan’s story was a look into the world of someone who was bipolar and trying to keep his stuff together especially being on the road. Their chance meeting had them both giving caution to the wind and seeing where this possibly went. It didn’t take long for things to fall completely apart.

The author did an excellent job bringing mental health to the forefront and doing it with a famous rock star. This book took me on one crazy ride having me turning pages as fast as I could. The ending to this book was a big surprise and one I won’t soon forget.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a Darling
Reviewed in Australia on 15 November 2019
OMG, this book! It is full of so many feels, angst, issues and love. It is a definite page-turner and so beautifully written. Darling is the first book in the Darling Devils Series by Gabrielle. G. It is written about Dan Darling, the lead singer of the band the Darling Devils. Here we see Dan help Anna one night when she is stood up by her girlfriends and runs into her ex and his new wife. We find out a lot about Anna’s past and what has led her to be somewhat bitter about men and relationships in general but this all changes when she meets Dan. Although she doesn’t end up with him straight away and she is a bit shy about allowing him into her heart, there is definitely a connection between the two characters and this book follows that connections, mis-communication and building of the relationship throughout this book. The book also deals heavily with mental health issues relating to both of the characters and how they come to understand each other and themselves better through time and acceptance.

This was a wonderfully written book. It had enough of a story-line to keep you involved and some really sexy moments. There were also moments of genuine heart-break where you felt for both of the characters immensely, both due to outside forces in their relationship as well as their own baggage.

Dan Darling is a really good character and to say that he is flawed is an understatement, but it doesn’t deter from how much you really like him and are routing for him to get his act together. The fact that he has some amazing friend also help and it will be interesting to read their stories in the series.

This is a great story, with great characters. A must read for any romance fans.

ARC received for a fair and honest review.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the author's Gritt Series, I had to check out the Darling Devils.
This is rock star romance with a difference. Meaty issues are faced head on with this first book being about the challenges of life with Bipolar Disorder
It's wildly sexy, emotional and confronting.
I can't wait to read the next bandmate's story!

Gabrielle G is one of the few authors who can make you so vividly feel the emotions of the characters in her books. Whether it's the thoughts and emotions leading up to a first kiss or the uncertainty of fretting over whether someone as special as your soulmate will be able to accept and love you and all your flaws, this author delivers the thrills or the anguish for the reader to experience along with the character. I've come to trust that if I choose a book by this author I'll have an exceptional reading experience. I encourage you to explore her body of work with her many lovable characters.

Darling is a fantastic read about a woman who falls in love with a rock star who lives with Bipolar Disorder Type 2 bringing his impulsivity to a greater level than what is even considered the norm of a rock star god.

It's hard enough for Anna to open up to any man after her ex husband shattered her faith in men in general. Miscarrying and walking in on her husband cheating on her all in one day was enough for Anna to wall up her heart. Then Dan Darling happens along helping her in a tense moment with said ex husband and his second wife. Anna is thankful for Dan's assistance, but clear that she is not one of his groupies. Dan, who has felt a gravitational pull to Anna is determined to break down her walls and spend his time with her. Dan takes on the challenge of wooing a guarded Anna and his actions cause his buddies/ fellow band members to worry if he's nearing a manic episode.

With the Darling Devils going on tour Dan's bandmates encourage him to reassess his feelings/ actions and take steps to create a plan to deal with his impulsivity and his disorder. Dan also must break up with Anna in order to explore and assess whether his impulsivity and disorder caused him to feel like he loved Anna. Or was it truly instalove?

Darling is an engaging romance between two mature adults who both have baggage and must deal with their own feelings while figuring out how they can best have their happily ever after with each other.

The characters are endearing. I loved reading the dual POVs which gave us insight into what was going on in each of their minds. It's those thoughts and feelings that enthrall us.

I highly recommend Darling to readers who like rock stars, characters with mental health disorders, characters in their 30s/40s, or anyone looking for a fantastic read!

I finished Darling a few days ago and I absolutely adored it. It was easy to get lost in the story of Dan and Anna, this book has all the feels. I didn’t want to put the book down and it ended way too soon. I can’t wait to dive into Trouble-Book 2 of the Darling Devils Series. Gabrielle G’s RockStar romances are fantastic!!

I rarely write a review but this just felt so real and compelling. So different from the normal Rock star romances we normally read. I know I will devour any other books by Gabrielle G. Going to hunt them down right now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and romantic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2022

Wow so, I really like this book for the most part. It was sexy, steamy emotional and romantic. It tackles the subject of dating someone with mental illness and I think it did it fairly well. All in all, a good book. It missed it's 5th star for 2 reasons. 1) I can't help but compare it to my favourite Rockstar romance and unfortunately it falls a little short.
2) the Epilogue letter from Dan. Unfortunately it killed my post book high by introducing facts about the characters future I didn't want or need to know. This, far more than reason 1, is why a gave it a 4. It kinda killed my buzz and as someone that reads HEA'S for the Endorphin kick, it was a bit of a let down.

Definitely a good Rockstar Romance. Definitely worth reading.
