See all formats and editions
Alex “Zander” Metcalf knew his life would always be filled with twists and turns, especially living in the public eye as the frontman for his band, Ivory Tower. His lifestyle was more than interesting, and he loved every aspect about his job in the music world.

Living in a long-term polyamorous relationship with a husband and a wife also created a fair amount of ups and downs. After adding two rambunctious daughters to the household, there was a sweet cocktail of chaos and pure joy and the unexpected awaiting him every day. His life was overflowing, but he wouldn't have changed a thing, because it was damn near perfect.

Alex knew nothing in life was guaranteed and to never take things for granted but that didn't have him any more prepared for what he was facing now. With his world turned completely upside down, Alex wasn't sure how he'd ever be able to move forward. Life as he knew it was gone, and it was up to him to dig deep and navigate his way through the fog with the only remaining constant in his life: Chase.

How do you find a new path when you feel so lost that you can't see the road ahead of you through the unrelenting darkness? Where do you even begin such a journey when the landscape is so vastly different from what was once familiar, and the resentment you have for needing to start over tastes like acrid bitterness on your tongue?

Alex must find the strength to push on and find a way to reinvent himself for the sake of all the relationships in his life, but creating this new version of himself won't come easy.

Ann Lister is a native New Englander currently living in Florida with her husband. She has pulled details from her years living in the New England area and uses many local settings and landmarks in her novels.

After graduating art school, marrying, and raising two daughters, she established her own video production company. Her nearly two decades working in video production included work within the music industry and won her a coveted Telly Award. Her 'behind-the-scenes' exposure to the music world and her love of rock music is the inspiration for her erotic rock star romances.

The Rock Gods series gave her Bestselling Author status on Amazon. Beyond The Music, Book 7 in the series, hit #1 in the Gay Erotica genre during the Pre-Order and held that spot for several weeks. This last book in The Rock Gods series launches the spin-off series, Guarding The Gods, which releases in early Summer of 2016.

Fall For Me, Book One in the series was a Finalist in the 2013 Rainbow Award. Each book in this series brings her two favorite elements together: musicians and the love between two men. These stories focus on what it truly means to love; love unconditionally, love without restrictions or labels, love without fear or judgment – to just simply love.

The Rock Gods Series is a compelling series full of angst, hot loving between very sexy men! I’ve read all of these books twice and Reinventing Us was no exception. Alex and Chase have to re learn to make a life and family work for themselves from scratch. It takes the reader through the highs and very lows, teaching them on how to survive once again. Becoming full times Dads to their two beautiful little girls, all the while trying to hold on to each other. A beautiful story of family coming together and getting through the tough times.

3.0 out of 5 stars Spoilers in review - very disappointed with how the mental health issues were handled (or lack thereof)
Reviewed in Australia on 22 April 2020

This was a very emotional read - and not because I felt the loss of Danni. Definitely not that. I've actually wondered from the very start why she was needed in the story. She didn't add anything to the dynamic between Chase and Alex - if anything, she was a blocker for the obvious chemistry and connection between them. Their triad always seemed forced and out of balance - Danni just always seemed like an afterthought. Throughout the series, even in their first book, we see Chase spending time with Alex, but Danni was such a background character that I knew her less than even some of their security detail and roadies. She was a null character. So losing her? I didn't feel it. What I felt was Alex's supposed loss, and his guilt at how things happened. I was disappointed that we barely got any POV from Chase in this book - it was all Alex, so without knowing first hand how Chase was coping, it seemed like Alex was more devastated than Chase.

From the very start of this book, before Danni is killed, Alex was not his usual self. What we find out as the book progresses is that he has a myriad of issues, the vast majority NOT stemming from Danni's death but definitely exacerbated by it. He had a deep depression, with suicidal thoughts. He was withdrawing from those he loved in order to protect himself from them leaving him - which started with the way Danni withdrew from him and was always going off at him, and the lack of communication between all parties. This, of course, affected his relationship with Chase and his daughters. As time progresses, his family and friends stage an intervention and send him to get help given he won't seek it himself, despite assuring Chase that he would.

Now this is where I have another issue. The miracle therapy. For starters, the same therapist has been used throughout the series, despite all of the issues faced by the characters being very different. This was not realistic at all. Dr Collins could have been their initial touch point, but he should have been referring the various couples to different Drs who specialised in what they were going through. That aside, I didn't like Dr Collins and could not believe he was sought out by the stars for their needs - I saw nothing that actually demonstrated that he was a good therapist - the opposite was true in fact. Next is why Alex needed to be submitted for in-patient care at the facility. I can understand why someone who has attempted suicide, or confesses ongoing suicidal thoughts, might need 24/7 monitoring, but they then never discussed that aspect of Alex's issues, nor does he actually appear to be monitored at all - ealecially with the things he was able to take into the facility (razors and the like). The focus seemed to be his relationship with Danni, Chase and the fallout from her death. None of that warranted in-patient care. To top it off, his obvious depression is discussed as an afterthought, they never delve into the suicidal thoughts thst we witnessed him have earlier in the book, and he walks out of the facility 4 days later seeminly magically cured, no need for follow up appointments, no need for medication. Talk about miracle therapy!

Really, this book served to give Chase and Alex the HEA they should have had from the start. Their storyline would have been better served with Danni a surrogate who was still involved in the girls lives, rather than the triad that seemed so forced. Alex's medical issues could have been dealt with much better - if you're going to broach a subject as sensitive and important as mental health, you need to do your research and do it justice. This author did neither of those, which was extremely disappointing and not a good example for those readers who might be feeling the same darkness and now have an expectation they can be 'cured' without medication and in a matter of days.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRIBUTE TO LOVE

This is the most MAGNIFICENT GIFT OF TRIBUTE I have ever read. Book #9 REINVENTING US is the BEST book so far in this AMAZING ROCK GODS SERIES. This is a story of the greatest, deepest heartbreak. This is a story written from a true, experienced heart, that had been shattered by true tragedy and pain. But this is not a tragic tale. It's a gift of True Love, Inspiration, Hope and Clarity. Of Honoring Loved Ones. Of Loving those around you enough to step away from yourself and ASK for help, when your burden becomes TOO much. YOU are here, not as punishment. But because your journey here is not over, their are things left for you to do. This story revolves around three original, precious characters. Alex, Danni and Chase our triad. Through this AMAZING story, their relationship had cracks and troubled times but their Love for Each Other never wavered. This IS a MAGNIFICENT story, that has inspired me to seek grief counseling for the passing of my Mom and Sister. It took this AMAZING story TO show me, I'll never be bigger than this pain. Thank You Ann MacConnell Lister, for sharing Alex's pain and deep suffering to help open MY eyes. This is a BOOK I will NEVER FORGET. I Thank You for this Beautiful, Loving, Precious, Tribute to a Wonderful, Funny, Carefree, Devilish Lady that will FOREVER be linked to you, that WE ALL LOVE AND MISS. Thank You. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER READ ANY OF THE OTHER BOOKS. BUT I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS REMARKABLE ROCK GODS SERIES!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s emotional... it’s for all the Rock Gods fans.!! 5+*
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2018

I was nervous and full of anticipation going into this latest Rock Gods story because there could only be one or two reasons for there to be another story featuring Alex, Chase and Danni.
As soon as Reinventing Us opens up you pick up on the negative and almost sad vibe, you instantly realise that all isn’t well between the three of them, there’s friction and this comes as a shock simply because we know all too well how much Alex, Chase and Danni mean to each other and their journey to make their relationship work... Take What You Want comes flooding back and plays on a loop in your mind... they had it all worked out and it was beautiful and unique to them so what has changed.
With heated words being exchanged, car accidents up ahead, traffic and Danni talking about needing a lift because there is no suitable car for her to drive the mention of the main gate being left open add to that Lyric and Melody need picking up from peschool... it all feels a little tense.
Ann Lister has your mind working overdrive for many reasons and you can sense something is going to happen, dread takes hold of the very devastating situation that starts to unfold and you can never quite prepare yourself.
Alex, Chase and Danni’s world that once was is no more and so from here on out this storyline is nothing but emotional and grief ridden especially for Alex.
We get a very real account as Alex and Chase navigate through the devastating reality that is now their lives without Danni, it is so sad and I cried on and off so many times because all I could think of is how we knew them to be and how could it have possibly got to this... truly devastating.
Can Alex and Chase survive, it’s touch and go because Alex is suffering with very dark thoughts and doubts there are times when Chase struggles knowing what to do to help. They have two beautiful daughters and it’s Chase that takes on the major parenting role while Alex checks out.
It’s unbelievably emotional and at times a torturous journey but Chase is wonderful all the way through and with the ever present support of all the familiar band members and Crew that we love so much it is only a matter of time before Alex is back where he belongs.
For me The Rock Gods Series is one of the most memorable series I’ve read... it all started in May 2013 with Fall For Me and I still remember it like yesterday.!!
Fantastic Ann Lister..!

Ann Lister your a Genius.

I’m not going into this book I do not do spoilers and with this book I feel you need to go in and read blind.

I’m not going to lie, you will cry 😢 it’s sad u see from the blurb but the writing and flow of this story was nothing less than brilliant. Ann Lister writes from the heart and this book proved that ten fold it shows us that from tragedy real love can prevail and we can survive.

I absolutely loved that we got to re visit with all the members of the Rock Gods from Black Ice and Ivory Tower they all played such an outstanding part in the healing process especially for Alex.

Ann you out did yourself with this book it has become my favorite of the series it’s flawless and I give you so much respect and credit to write such a deep emotional read oh and you gave me a lot of my Wheland in here too lol , but seriously seeing Alex and learning how he’s been feeling all along and how he dealt with it and the love of Chase is absolutely remarkable.

This deserves so much more than 5 stars and I can’t wait to get more stories from my favorite rockers.
Keep on Rocking

Yesss!! Let’s Rock On. Zander is back baby. Thanks to the beautiful Chase, that man is truly a blessing. I know you’re like okay, but what about Danni,? and I’m like Danni who? Let’s not pretend we love her. I read some of the reviews, and people actually wanted to throw her under a bus, so…...moving on.

Alex faces some tough times ahead, the family as a whole need to find a new way to reinvent themselves. Alex and Chase have always had a special bond sometimes they just need a reminder, maybe a little help from their friends. The Rock Gods are a family, not by blood, but by choice, and boy do they prove that even in the toughest of times they will be there for each other.

Hearing from the other guys brought a smile to my face. There’s just no other band that can bring me such joy. The Rock Gods will be around for a long time yet. That alone gives me something to smile about.

Depression can affect people in many different ways. Not everyone can deal with events in their lives as easy as others, but with help it can become easier. It’s accepting the help that can be the hardest part.

Alex isn’t dealing with life very well, okay that is an understatement. My heart breaks for this man, this very sexy, talented man. Chase is a rock for the whole family, and that alone can put a great strain on a person. Especially when they need some tending loving care as well.

This story completely pulled at my heartstrings. It’s deep, and emotional, but it’s a story mostly about love. Finding your way back from a dark place that you never truly belonged. Chase and Alex were always meant to be.

If you love The Rock Gods then you will absolutely love this new addition. If you haven’t even started this series yet, OMG!! Don’t wait any longer, you’ll be binging, and still be left wanting more.

WARNING, while this book is part of the Rock Gods series, it has a very different feel. This book has ALL THE FEELS. Life-altering tragedy strikes in the prologue and the aftermath is heart- wrenching.

-I was floored by the events that happened in the prologue but, in hindsight, I shouldn't be surprised. I could tell from the synopsis that something MAJOR was going to happen. It's right there if you read between the lines.

-Considering the fact that Alex was a HUGE rock star when the three of them started their triad, I thought the way Chase and Dani were talking to him during the prologue was unfair. All three of them knew what they were getting into. HOWEVER, having a relationship with 3 people with 3 very different personalities has to be stressful so, while I think it's unfair, I do understand.

-I could feel the sorrow and anguish that Alex went through and my heart ached for him. I was very glad that his grief wasn't glossed over even if it made it difficult for me to read.

-I was very happy to see all the Rock Gods and their protectors come together to get everyone through the heartache.

Oh, and if you want to know, the paternity of the girls is revealed.

*****
POV... third person

Standalone or Series... book 9 of a series and while I suppose it could be read as a standalone, I would suggest reading "Take What You Want" first (It's Dani, Chase & Alex's story)

Hangover... YES

Recommend... yes

Reread... yes
