Book Description

The Happy Ever After Playlist meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in this dual POV, dual timeline, contemporary romance where a chance encounter between aspiring writer, Tyler Norris, and the drummer for a multi-platinum rock band, Eric Ambrose, results in Ambrose hiring Norris to pen his biography.

There is nothing Tyler regrets more than the night she spent with Eric Ambrose. Not because (despite everything she’d told herself that night) she’d caved and slept with the man they call “The King”. The man who is arguably the best rock drummer of all time. But because, despite her best efforts, she can’t stop thinking about him. And when he tracks her down three months later and offers her a job writing his memoir, she’s caught between standing her ground and keeping as much distance between them as possible, or agreeing to spend the next six months on tour with him. Following his every move and getting to know the notoriously private man on a level that not many people do. As she finds herself agreeing to his offer, she can only hope that this won’t turn into another decision involving Eric Ambrose that she regrets.

Tyler Norris is the one that got away—literally. The only woman Eric has ever taken back to his hotel room to vanish into thin air by the time he woke up the next morning. He’s spent months tracking her down, desperate to see her again for reasons he doesn’t fully understand. And when he finally finds her and offers her the opportunity to join him on tour and write his memoir, the woman he met the night they spent together is nowhere to be found. This one is guarded, shy, and hesitant. Determined to spend more time with the woman who flipped his world upside down, he agrees to whatever terms she presents—including the one he knows is going to take every ounce of self-control he has left—absolutely no sex.

A friendship forms and tension grows so tight it’s bound to snap as Tyler and Eric refuse to face the music—their chance encounter was just the beginning.

My Thoughts

Lexie Black’s Long Live the King is a stunning debut that hits every high note of the rockstar romance trope while offering a refreshing, heartfelt twist on the genre. The story follows Tyler Norris, an aspiring writer, and Eric Ambrose, the legendary drummer of a multi-platinum band, whose lives change forever after a single, unforgettable night together.

When Tyler vanishes the next morning, Eric spends months tracking her down, eventually offering her the job of a lifetime: joining him on tour to pen his private memoir. What follows is a captivating strangers-to-lovers journey that blends the emotional depth of a dual-timeline narrative with a perfect touch of comedy.

Eric is a standout hero—sweet, sincere, and wearing his heart on his sleeve, he is a far cry from the typical broody rockstar. His determination to reconnect with Tyler leads to a "no-sex" clause and a slow-burn friendship that builds a tension so thick it’s bound to snap.

Watching Tyler, who is guarded and skeptical, slowly lower her walls as she gets to know the man behind "The King" makes the eventual emotional payoff incredibly satisfying. The writing is so seamless and well-crafted that it’s hard to believe this is a debut; the descriptions of life on the road are vivid and immersive, making you feel as though you are right there on the tour bus.

It is the kind of story that demands to be read in one sitting, leaving you rooting for the characters from start to finish. Fans of high-stakes contemporary romance will find themselves completely invested in this beautiful, fun, and deeply moving ride.
