While I'm not technically rating it as high as book one...it's still getting four overall goodreads stars, so there's that. I didn't enjoy it as thoroughly as I enjoyed book one, but I still really enjoyed it. It was a solid middle book and we got some MC and a little mafia too.
I really love this couple and their dynamic and I can't wait for book three.

"You're my whole universe."
Blow My Fuse is the second book in the Hollywood Demons Series. Autumn Jones Lake has expertly crafted a rock star romance with MC action, passion, and true love. Blow My Fuse picks up directly after Kickstart My Heart. Mallory and Chaser have already been through so much and yet, their journey together is now only beginning. Mallory is set on building a career as an actress and Chaser is focused on helping his band expand and take on the rockstar world with a bang. As the pressures of Hollywood beat them down (literally), they find themselves on a path of destruction. Mallory is set on helping Chaser to find his way back. When so many forces are pulling them apart, is their love strong enough to keep fighting for?
"Don't apologize. Not your fault you've got a possessive motherfucker for a boyfriend."Told in dual POV, Blow My Fuse offers a beautiful and dynamic story with action, passion, rock music, and the bright lights of Hollywood. With complex characters and a plot with multiple twists and turns, Ms. Lake has created another blockbuster masterpiece. The supporting characters offer plenty of laughs (and drama) and as the tensions continue to rise, I could not turn the pages fast enough. Set back in the time of big hair, loud music, and fast cars, the Hollywood Demons Series is a perfect blend of MC Action, Rockstar Romance, friendship, and smoking hot passion.
"I'm going to pin your ankles to your ears when we get to our hotel room and show you the meaning of deep."Overall, Blow My Fuse will appeal to contemporary romance fans who enjoy an MC theme and "rock-n-roll baby"! Ms. Lake explores every aspect of living in the fast lane and Chaser and Mallory will do whatever it takes to find their happy ever after! I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I cannot wait for the final book Wheels of Fire!

Rereading this series and still adore Chaser and Mallory.
I did miss the 'notes from the author' at the end of this one though...
**
4.5
I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one, but it still had that 80’s sweetness to it. So much nostalgia reading about cassette tapes, VHS shows, and all your friends piling into a car without seatbelts.
This one deals with some heavier issues, but in a way that feels organic. (Heavy drug use, addiction, and sexual harassment.)
I absolutely love the love between Mallory and Chaser. It’s so pure and real.
"I’m with you for the long haul, Chaser. Our road will be bumpy from time-to-time. As long as we have each other, we’ll survive anything."
They fully support each other’s dreams, as hard as that can be when they are hundreds of miles apart and there are no cell phones, no social media to stay in touch.
Andrew being called ‘Cokefiend McMassivePenis’ LOL!
I love the relationship Mallory has with Chaser’s dad. That scene when he’s trying to teach her to drive a stick shift was SUCH a dad thing.
This one ends on a huge cliffhanger, so be prepared!

Chaser did a really big 180 in this book, and it really made me dislike him. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I WANTED there to be a third act breakup. All I could think about for the rest of the book is how he would have cheated on Mallory if she hadn’t walked in when she did. And then to have Mallory and chaser attempt to have sex with his hard dick from the ow???? I literally thought about it for the rest of the book. Ok, he was high…is that supposed to be an excuse? He did that shit to himself. And he NEVER grovels for that. It’s just forgotten about. This book really lowered my opinion of him and I don’t see that changing. Which is sad because I loved him in the first book
And Andrew….i didn’t find him funny. At all. I think we were supposed to but he disgusted me.

Blow My Fuse is the second title in the Kickstart Trilogy featuring Mallory and Chaser. This title starts off from where Kickstart My Heart left off, and it’s anything but boring, full of twists and turns and ups and downs you’re sure to be engaged from the very first chapter.
Chaser’s heart is in the right place, he’s protective but struggles to keep all the balls he’s juggling in the air. He makes some questionable choices, against his own better judgement that left me wanting to smack some sense into him.
Mallory proves just how deep her strength, loyalty and resilience goes, with the ups and downs they face in both their personal and professional lives. I’m sure it’s just the tip of the iceberg with how this instalment concluded.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Autumn Jones Lake is the queen of a cliff-hanger ending. If you don’t like a cliff-hanger, I would suggest waiting for the final title in the Kickstart Trilogy before starting Chaser and Mallory’s story.

❤️🔥⭐️AUTUMN ALWAYS DELIVERS⭐️🔥❤️
WOW !!! As always Autumn’s books get better with every one she writes this roller coaster ride that Chaser and Mallory are is most definitely a wild one. Twists and turns I didn’t see coming that’s for sure !!!! I love their love and loyalty to each other to see. It’s great to hear some of the LOKI men’s names pop up we all love our LOKI MEN❤️ I can’t wait for the next installment of this trilogy to see where she takes them. This is a must read book in my eyes you should read Kickstart My Heart first as this is the 2nd in the trilogy.
I was blessed with a ARC in exchange for a honest review.....

Original Review 5/17/23
Blow my Fuse is book 2 in the Hollywood Demons trilogy. Chaser and Mallory are still going strong, growing closer and closer as each day passes. They both are working really hard to make it big when Chaser finds himself in some trouble that has him going home. I loved Chaser's dad, even though he's a tough biker the love he has for his son is crystal clear. Mallory is getting frustrated with Chaser, but her love and loyalty keeps her by his side. Even though the road was bumpy I loved how strong it made them.

I mean this was just a great addition to Mallory and Chaser's story.
I loved how everything progressed, and felt like it all stayed very true to their setting, and was really realistic. I'm genuinely just obsessed with these characters, and how they develop over time- their relationship is just so wholesome and sweet.
I'm honestly really excited (and slightly worried too), to see what happens next- however, I have high hopes for what's to come.

Been waiting for the second book since finishing the first and just over halfway through and have not been disappointed yet!! Been trying to write reviews as I go, but I have been so riveted by the story that I haven't been able to put it down. Only reason I did was from crashing out last night.
This book picks up right where we left off and boy the author has not held back. I can't actually give the book much of a review as the main "issue" within this book is too much of a spoiler to talk about here. Let's just say that the pages are full to bursting of sex, drugs & rock and roll sprinkled with leather g strings *shudders*. The subjects within the book are hard to read but real and honest.
Finally finished this amazing book and honestly I can't add anything as don't want to ruin the story for anyone but I did NOT see that coming!!!!
Definitely a must read after book 1.

I see what the hype is about. I have this need to know how their story ends. So much going on.
This ends in a cliffhanger so Book 3 can’t get to my hands fast enough 😊

**4.5 Stars*
Just when I thought I couldn't fall more in love with this series, Autumn Jones Lakes delivers one crazy, rocktastic story. Blow My Fuse feels like you are watching a VH1 Behind The Music documentary. You are basically in the front row watching Kickstart rise higher and higher towards fame. The entire novel just oozes with sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Chaser and Mallory remain forever in love but it is Mallory who steals the show in Blow My Fuse. She really starts to come into her own. Is she still a bit naive? Yes but she knows when and how to deliver a snarky comment. She is sticking up for herself more and more. And yet, she is forever patient with Chaser and the band's shenanigans. Those four find themselves in all sorts of trouble. And I mean T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
Blow My Fuse is so wildly entertaining. New characters are introduced including a few more Devil Demons and the super eccentric Andrew. It also ends on one mind blowing cliff hanger that had me yelling WTH and then proceeding to throw my Kindle across the room (in a total good way). I cannot wait for Wheels of Fire!

Dang it Autumn! Way to leave us hanging! Lol This book was awesome! It definitely took a turn I wasn’t expecting but I loved the way you wrapped it up! As for the little cliffy you left us with, OMG! I don’t know where the laugh or cry! I swear these rockstars are a piece of work! Lol Chaser and Mallory are becoming stronger together and I love it! She is such a badass sweetheart 😍 I can’t wait to find out what happens in book 3!!
May 11, 2020
Blow my Fuse is the second book in the Kickstart Trilogy and it doesn't disappoint it's a wild ride from beginning to end. It picks up where Kickstart my Heart left off and we see where Mallory and Chaser go from there. I really enjoyed the growth from both Mallory and Chaser in this book Mallory gets a step closer (maybe a few steps closer) to being the Old Lady we know from the LOKI books. I really loved seeing her not take crap from people but still staying true to herself in the process. Blow my Fuse had my heart racing as I was reading seeing where Mallory and Chaser were going to end up and what they had to through to get there. No spoilers but that ending will have you begging for book 3 I know I am. I could go on all day singing this books praises. If you havent read Kickstart do it then read this you wont be disappointed. I cant wait for book 3 and any other books Autumn gifts us with from this universe.
May 13, 2020
Blow My Fuse is the 2nd installment in the Kickstart trilogy.
Chaser and Mallory are trying to reach the top to fame, but at what cost are they willing to go? After all, with fame comes consequences and chaos. Surrounded by sex, drugs, and rock & roll tensions run high, literally, testing relationships and loyalties.
Mallory has grown into a strong independent woman. She's come a long way from mafia princess or mafia prisoner, depending how you look at it.
Chaser struggles to find balance between his band/rockstar duties, MC life, and his relationship with Mallory.
Just when you think life for Mallory and Chaser can't get any more complicated...BOOM! Mind Blown.
Autumn writes in such detail, and what I consider perfection, that while reading the story you're in the moment with the characters... like straight living, feeling and breathing it! I can't wait to read the conclusion in Wheels of Fire. I have no doubt it will be epic.

OMG! The cliff hanger is a complete plot twist! Didn’t see that coming!
I really, really like Chaser and Mallory! Two well written, multi-layered characters I loved routing for! Unlike most rock star romances, where insecurities are the plot, the faith and trust Mallory and Chaser have in each other is strong. I found that incredibly refreshing. This gave the author lots of room for unpredictable outside factors to inspire twisty plots. And boy did she use them!! There were so many layers to this story you couldn’t predict which way the story would play out.
In this book Chaser and Mallory display some changes in their characters as they grow and evolve. Sometimes for the good and sometimes not. I have to admit, Chaser did disappoint me in parts of this story. I was happy he was able to pull it together, although I was on edge the rest of the book worried he would fall back into the troublesome pattern. I loved the mc tie in and Chasers supportive family.
Mallory’s career starts to take off and we get to see her confidence grow. She either doesn’t have a petty bone in her body or has the patience of a saint! Regardless how catty Pamela gets, or other situations irk Mallory, she bites her tongue and rides the wave. I was so excited to see her start to stand up for herself more and more as the book progressed. She’s actually got a snarky wit. Go girl!
This book as multiple supporting characters. Some were fun, kind, sweet, and others, downright deplorable! I understand Jacob’s insecurities lead him to behave and make the decisions that he does, but I seriously want to throat punch him. How much is Chaser going to put up with before enough is enough? UGH!! And Andrew, holy blazes!!! What a love, like, put up with/hate relationship. This guy drove me nuts, but in the end he was able to do some good things that made him tolerable.
This story hooked me in, tossed me around, giving me quite the ride!!! Another great addition to the series I highly recommend reading! I can't wait for book three!

Re-read 20.07.23 amped my raiting up to 5 stars. It’s better second time around. I will be re-reading this series regularly for sure.
"Success can never be owned, little dove. We only rent it. If we want to hang on to success, the rent's due every day."
I honestly don't know what's up with this series but I am as hooked with this book as most characters with coke.
This is so interesting to read. Especially how music industry worked that time. It's crazy to read about addiction and I have to say I think I have never read a book about H where he has done so much drugs that his dick is a limp noodle.
I honestly still can't believe how ALJ tricked me to read this, I was thinking to go in with MC book but ended up something completely different. Rockstar books have never been my thing. I am not interested in that but hell, I cannot put this book down.
So enjoyable AND this Triology is set on the year of my birth.
🔶 cocaine addiction
🔶 almost cheating *
🔶 lot of misogyny ( remember year is 89)
* Chaser is almost on verge to cheat but he is cocked out of his head. I love how author didn’t pass the line and also she made Mallory strong, loyal and mature to stick to Chaser and understand he had an addiction. It was so well done!

Book 2 of 3.
Series must be read in order as the three books are about the same couple and their fight to find happiness together.
Again I really dislike the cover.
Lots of angst.
Some other man drama, it's a bit like every man they meet can't resist the heroine, which I personally am not keen on but it adds to the angst of the couples relationship.
But honestly does every man have to want her.
Lots of secondary characters for potential of more books in series.
Subject matter includes addiction and abuse of drugs.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
There is other woman drama, groupies that try it on or are encouraged to try it on.
Other man drama, the potential suitor from the past pops up, not too much of an issue and of course every director who offers her a job and 'other things'.
The jobs she does add to some of the humour as well as her relationship with her co-star/rival, Pamela.
Cliffhanger ending.

Autumn is a freaking genius, this had a quite brilliance about it. It's just a story of two people who love each other and are willing to fight for that love through the ugliness and difficulties that follow us through life.
Mallory and Chaser have had to deal with a lot of ish just to be a couple, however, no lasting love is ever easy and despite the issues they have overcome, they will need to learn to dig deeper to fight the demons that chase theirs heals.
Autumn perfectly captures the seductive destruction that is the Hollywood entertainment scene. It's a business that often only wants to destroy people at all cost for just a shot of stardom. Chaser, while having good intentions gets caught up and seduced by this culture and he begins to lose himself through addiction. This was my favorite part of the book and it was a realistic look at how quickly addiction can take someone down and the effects it has on a junkie's loved ones. It was raw and intense and I had tears in my eyes throughout this whole conflict. It also solidified Chaser and Mallory as a couple because when two people walk through the hell that is an addiction and make it out the other side. They have built so much trust and intimacy through this struggle that there isn't much that can tear them apart.
Autumn is also the master of secondary characters! Ther are complex and well-rounded you can't help but fall in love with them. from Alvin to Tally and even Stump you instantly find a connection to these characters and hope that one day you will get in their heads to see what makes them tick including a HEA (hint, hint).
I love the world that the author created and can't wait to see what else is in store of this 80s power couple

Book Two in the Mallory and Chaser trilogy is just as amazing if not better than the first book. They go through a lot of ups and downs in this book. There is joy, celebration, heartbreak, despair, new relationships formed, old ones tested beyond their limits, happiness, bounds of hilarity, love and oh man is there love. I think my favorite thing about Mallory and Chaser is that through it all they do it together. They went through a lot of crazy and heart breaking things and they did it right next to each other. There were times when Mallory wanted to punch Chaser and walk away from him but she couldn't. Their love is serious couple goals. I don't want to say too much because spoilers for book one and this one but I absolutely loved these two and their journey. It isn't and easy one but I am so glad I found this world. I highly recommend this series even if this book ends on a massive cliff hanger. Pick it up you won't regret it.

This second book in the Kickstart Trilogy once again reinforces my belief that this author can write any genre and be successful at it. Blow My Fuse seamlessly continues on where the first book ended, and it manages to combine three of my favorite things (bikers, rockers and mafia) into a mind-blowing, exciting adventure of epic proportions, as the band (and Mallory) become wildly successful and have to deal with major drama and danger. I hated a few characters so much and loved a couple even more, but ultimately they all have demons to slay before life will resemble anything close to "normal".
This one ends on quite the cliffhanger as well (OMG!) but I trust we will get a wonderful and satisfying conclusion in the third book. Bravo!

What can I say?...Autumn once again has completely and utterly smashed it!!!
You definitely need to read Kickstart My Heart first as this is book 2 in the trilogy, and this picks up straight of the ending in book 2 and it is sooooo freaking good 🥰
I'm not going to talk about the storyline because spoilers are the devil's work, just know that Autumn has a way about her writing that is hard to find, these won't just be characters you read about, they will become actual people to you, friends as such! You will see what she writes, you will feel what they feel and you will fall so hard with these books - truly amazing 😊
An excellent top-class read and I am seriously seriously excited for the next book!!!!!
I voluntarily received an arc from the author and this is my honest review.

Oh Autumn, what you do to my poor little reading heart. Really? REALLY?
Blow my Fuse is book two in the Kickstart Trilogy, and it ends with a punch. I sort of hate reviewing these books because I don't want to give anything away, but I want to tell you how awesome it is! If you haven't read Kickstart, you will need to do that first; otherwise, you will be lost.
If you have already read Kickstart, then get ready for more 80s, more rockstar, more amazing writing we love, and of course, more of Autumns plot twists! I cannot wait for the third and final installment! I need the Chaser and Mallory HEA so bad!

Good follow up
TO SAY that Andrew is a repulsive character is an understatement. Jacob is also as obnoxious as any character I’ve read before. But, both are essential to this story. While I can’t help but feel sorry for Mallory having to live with the guys as an ever present “curse”, she also gets to love Chaser. When his situation forces them to return to his MC compound, Chaser’s dad sort of takes Mallory under his wing which shocks Chaser!
The scene with the ball sack is absolutely hilarious. I do have a warped sense of humor though.
On to book 3.

GD it! She did it AGAIN!
I am completely flabbergasted at the end of this book and now I have to WAIT?????
Malory is my woman crush from now until forever. She’s strong and soft at the same time. She doesn’t take shit from anyone but she stands by her man in a pinch.
And Chaser?
Can I put him in my pocket and take him everywhere with me? His protective nature with Malory leaves me wandering around with a stupid smile on my face all day.
And Alvin! Autumn... I need Alvin’s story now....
Go and read this series... unless you hate cliffhangers... then wait a couple of months.

What can I say, wow. Autumn never disappoints with her books. This second part of a trilogy telling us Chaser Adams and Mallory Delova’s story is gripping from start to finish. There are plenty of twists and turns and the layers of their characters are becoming more apparent with every page. I have to admit I could quite happily have smacked ~chaser upside his head at points. Another must read book from Autumn but make sure you read Kickstart my heart first !

2nd part of Chasers and Mallory story (go read kickstart my heart first) it was another brilliant read from Autumn. I love that she didnt wrap up there story in one book so it not rushed in anyway. I really dont know what else to say without giving it away so just go get reading you wont be disappointed. Really looking forward to the next book. I was given an advance copy but I will be buying it as well.

December 30, 2022Bored - no drama or angst. It was fine for one book because I was anticipating the good stuff… but now I see that there is no good stuff. Why introduce possible drama just to skim by it or resolve it immediately??

I am completely in love with Chaser and Mallory’s love! Through everything, all the ups and downs they trust each other above all else. It’s beautiful the way Autumn Jones Lake wrote their characters.

when H got high and was at a party, another girl started to seduce him, touching his d*ck and it got hard. but right after that he didn't get hard for h. what the heck??

This book was a never-ending cycle of Mallory getting sexually assaulted by Hollywood big-wigs and Chaser getting sucked into the toxic rockstar lifestyle. In the beginning, it made it interesting ... but after a while of them falling into the same issues, I was over it.
