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.

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.

Review
4 stars
Beat is the story of two sexy rockstars and one girl. Not in the way you may be thinking at this point, one is her boyfriend and the other wants to be. She's attracted to Flynn but tries to ignore it, after all she's been with Dylan for close to a year.
Dylan is kind of a prick all along, yes it's to be expected as he's the lead singer of a band so the cockiness goes right along with that. Honestly I never connected with him on any level, even when he declares his intentions I couldn't feel the least bit sorry for him as he's basically a dick.
Flynn on the other hand I immediately fell for and wanted him to have everything he wanted. 
Lucky. I wanted to love her but found myself only liking her. Honestly if you realize you don't have feelings for someone PUT. IT. OUT. THERE.
Don't wait and make the man you love suffer through watching you interact with the one you don't. Grow a pair an get it over with!!!
Honestly I wasn't sure I could get into this story, it seemed to start off so slowly and I kept waiting for something to change or happen or anything to hook me. Eventually it did and I enjoyed the rest of the story but am not a huge Lucky fan as she made Flynn suffer unnecessarily and took her sweet ass time making up her mind. Secondary characters were amazing, Avery's mouth alone kept me smiling. 4 overall stars.
