The Story Of Lansing Lotte
(Legendary Rockstars #2)
Author: L.B. Dunbar
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 28, 2015
Synopsis
I get it. I’ve heard the jokes. My name sounds like some medieval character who was a hero. Hell, my best friend’s named Arturo King. Ring any medieval bells? But this is my story and I’m no hero. I also get the jokes. Lancelot is a play on the words lance and lot, and a lance refers to a sword, which is a euphemism for dick. What does a man do with his dick? He fucks. A lot. So if my name is Lansing Lotte, I must be “fucking lot.” Get it? Fucking a lot? Which I’m not saying I don’t, that’s not the point. Another reference to something sexual. Get my point? Huh, I made a punny. But again this is my story, and I haven’t done anything funny. In fact, I’ve killed three women, and only one of them I loved. Yeah, that’s right? Not laughing now. It’s not funny. And I’m definitely no fucking hero.

**I received an ARC for an honest review.**
I am just going to jump right in....
Lansing Lotte took awhile to win me over. That man was so utterly confused in his life and he just complicating his life even more. I honestly was not able to fall completely in love with him until more than halfway through, but he definitely won me over.
So, The Story of Lansing Lotte starts up right were The Legend of Arturo Kind ends. At the beginning there is so much going on. Arturo is still missing...is he dead or a live? I did not like the Lansing at the beginning of this book. I did not like his Lady Killer ways. I hated that he was so confused with all the women in his life and the choices that he made. I even hated all of those women because they knew they were making a complicated situation even more complicated. I hated that Guinie kept confusing him even further, I did not care for the Guinie of this book. I did not like her push and pull that she had over Lansing and his willingness to be sucked in, but of course all things must come to a head.
What I loved though were those moments of distraction that Lansing lived for...not the ones of the past but the ones of the present. I loved how Lansing was with Fluer. I loved how he was with Lila and I loved that she always gave him her honest opinion. I loved that she slowly brought him into who he should have been all along. I liked how Lansing started to change all because of his "family."
There are so many things that go on in this book and it's quite a lot to keep up with. Things from book one are still unanswered and there is a little more mystery added to the overall story. Slowly things start to unravel, but there is still so much more that needs to be uncovered. I look forward to more of this series.

Excerpt
“Because I know you love her. It must hurt.”“I…I don’t know that I’m capable of love, Lila. All I seem to do is destroy women, and myself.” She reached a shaky hand for me and pushed my longish bangs back from my forehead. It was surprisingly comforting.
“I don’t believe that,” she said. “I think you just have difficulty choosing someone safe.”
Her fingers continued through my hair and my muscles relaxed. It was soothing. It was motherly, which should have creeped me out, but didn’t. I don’t know what prompted me, but I laid my head down on her stomach. Her breathing was ragged, and I could hear her heart beat rapidly through the oxford shirt. She was holding her body still, but she continued to gently run her fingers through my hair. She was hesitant at first, almost as if she was petting me, but her fingers slipped into my longer locks and she massaged back and forth over my scalp.
I was relaxing into her stomach and my nose nuzzled against her. She was firm under there, and she had that sexy hip thing going on. She sucked in a breath when my nose drew a line back and forth across her belly. My mouth watered to get a taste of those hipbones just below her navel. She was dragging her fingers through my hair more intently, and I slid my face down her belly. She had a sweet fragrance about her, something flowery and something I wasn’t certain of at first. Instantly, I recognized that Lila smelled like sex.
My hand came up to remove the blanket from her legs and I heard her sigh. Her hand wrapped into my hair, tugging gently, and I took it as a sign to continue moving down her body. Her legs opened slightly and my nose dragged closer to my destination.
“You smell sexy, Lila.”
She sighed again and a choked sound followed. My eyes glanced up to discover hers were closed. Her head leaned back and her lips parted. I dragged my nose across her damp panties, inhaling her sweetness.
“You want me?” I breathed against her, knowing she was wet and ready for me under the cotton. I couldn’t believe it. Lila gave no hint that she was attracted me. She was well aware that I was continually turned on around her, but she gave me no indication that she could be attracted to me. Unless…
“We’re friends, right, Lila?” I said, a bit of curiosity in my voice.
She sighed again and I blew a breath onto her. Her arousal was heady, and I was intoxicated by her.
“We could be friends. Together. It would be a good distraction.” I kissed her over the cotton and I felt her sit upright. She looked drugged; her eyes glassy and confused.
“I can’t,” she said on a choke.
“What?” I softly groaned.
“I…I can’t do this with you.”
“Lila, I didn’t mean…”
She was pushing back into the corner of the couch, forcing me to sit upright. She grabbed the blanket off the floor to cover her, but then decided to stand.
“Lila, I…”
“I can’t compete with ghosts, Lansing.”
“Lila, it’s not like…”
“I know all about ghosts…and I can’t fight them whether dead…or alive,” Lila added, as she held the blanket before her legs like a shield and quickly turned to leave me stunned on the couch.

She grew up in Michigan, but has lived in Chicago for longer, calling it home with her husband and four children.
