Blurb
Dimpled smile of a boy
Hard body of a man
Sings like an angel
Fucks like the devil
I was stuck between a rock(star) and a hard place.
At fifteen, his poster hung on my bedroom wall. At twenty-five his body hovered over mine. Every girl’s fantasy became my reality. I was dating a rockstar. Yet I was slowly falling for another man. The problem was—the two men—they shared a tour bus.
Flynn Beckham was the opening act.
Dylan Ryder was the headliner.
What happens when the opening act begins to shine so bright, it seems to dim everything else in its wake?
I’ll tell you what happens. Things get ugly.
My Review:
Beat is book number two in author Vi Keeland’s Life On Stage series and being a big fan of Ms. Keeland’s writing, I was so excited to get my hands on this book. Well, let me say that I blame today’s bags under my eyes on the sexy and deliciously sweet Flynn Beckham because once I started this book, there was no way I could put it down. I loved it so much!
This was a love triangle that had me all in all sorts of knots, but in a good way. Lucky is totally caught off guard when she thinks her life is pretty set and as good as it was going to get. Which wasn’t terrible. She owned a bar, had a rock-star boyfriend she and the rest of the single girls in the U.S. had pined over since being teenagers, and a great best friend. All in all it was pretty good. But there was always something unsettled right under the surface she chose to just bury it deep. Then she met Flynn. Suddenly that unsettled feeling came to the forefront…but inexplicably became calm when he was around. She knew it had to mean something. She wasn’t sure she wanted to admit it. Too bad she wouldn’t have much of a choice when her boyfriend decides to take her on tour with his band at the same time the band’s bass player is replaced…with Flynn.
Now she was stuck on a tour bus with her boyfriend and the guy she was beyond attracted to. Too bad they weren’t one in the same. And that’s when my nerves kicked in! I didn’t know what I wanted Lucky to do. On one hand, Dylan, is an ok guy in the beginning; even though rumors of him cheating were always in the periphery. On the other hand Flynn is just so amazing all around. He’s talented, funny, kind, caring, understanding, and is so good to his little niece that I just about died. There truly wasn’t one thing I didn’t love about him. Lucky sure did have her hands full with these two. But one wins out in the end and while I won’t tell you who, I will say that I was SO FREAKING HAPPY! (so, yeah, you can probably guess who it is lol!)
This book had it all. I laughed, I cried, I blushed…I loved it ALL. Ms. Keeland once again wrote an amazing story with characters I just adored. Thank you, Vi!
Five Loves
Excerpt:
Getting through Flynn singing is incredibly hard. The way his throat moves, the way his mouth caresses each syllable of the low, raspy sound that falls from his lips. I should be watching his posture, his breathing, the way his larynx forces out the words—but instead I’m focused on the beauty of his mouth and how the sound of his voice glides over my body, making it feel both warm and tingly at the same time. I’m lost when the song finishes, yet I haven’t really observed him yet.
“So. Give it to me straight. What am I doing wrong?”
Ummm…absolutely nothing from what I can see. Everything was perfect. Don’t change a thing. Shit. “Could you do it again? Maybe a different song, one you haven’t sung in a while. So the sounds are less familiar to your body. Sometimes that can give me a different view.” At least I make it sound like a real thing when the words come out.
He sings again, and this time I force myself to observe. “Hmm…your posture is great. Most people have a tendency to favor one side of their neck, which makes them tilt a bit when they speak, and it becomes magnified when they sing, which puts strain on the muscles around the vocal cords. Your alignment is perfect.”
“Thank you, it goes with the rest of my perfectness,” he says with a teasing arrogance that, from the little I know about him, I know isn’t real.
“You didn’t let me finish.”
“You can’t now tell me I’m not perfect. I was already basking in the glow.”
“Actually, it was perfect…but almost a little too perfect. Which makes me think you don’t usually stand this way when you sing.”
“It isn’t the way I normally sing. On stage, I usually have a guitar over my shoulder. Even if I’m not playing it, it’s there.”
“Well, I need to see you holding your instrument to assess you fully, then.”
Flynn’s eyebrows quirk up and the dirty grin on his face is unmistakable.
“The guitar. I’d need to see you holding the guitar.”
“That’s a shame.” He shrugs, the playful smile still on his face. “But okay. It’s your call. Whatever instrument you want to see me hold is fine with me.”
“How big of you.”
“So now we’re talking about the other instrument again?”
I roll my eyes, although this conversation is having more of an effect on me than I let on.
