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.

Beats by Vi Keeland was my first read from this author and I really liked this book.

Twenty-five year old Lucky (Luciana Valentine) co-owns Lucky's Bar with her best friend, Avery. She is dating Dylan Ryder, the hot, sexy, bad boy front man for Easy Ryder. It's crazy to think that she's been in love with Dylan since she was 15 years old. Having his posters hung all over her room and now having him in her bed, Lucky just can't believe how perfect life with Dylan is until.......


“Could we buy someone a drink?” one of the young blondes asks me.
“Of course. What do you want me to send over?”
They giggle for a few minutes, then decide on a Screaming Orgasm for their intended target. I mix the vodka, Bailey’s and Kahlua and pour it over a tumbler of ice.
“Okay. Who’s the lucky recipient?”
All three of them point to the other end of the bar and say in unison, “Him.”
Lord. That is one beautiful man.

Lucky could feel eyes on her and they belong to Flynn Beckham the lead singer from In Like Flynn who will be touring with Easy Ryder but Lucky doesn't know that .....yet!!

“I’m here to deliver you a Screaming Orgasm.” Damn, he’s even hotter up close.
“Thank you. But I have a ladies-first policy.” He winks.

I really liked Flynn's character, he was actually a really nice guy. Not like Dylan, who was an ass to everyone except to Lucky, which I thought was weird. The love triangle kept me glued to the book, but was disappointed with the ending. It felt to me that it ended kind of fast.....a little rushed. However, it's a good rocker story and I did enjoy the authors writing style. That's why I'm giving this book 4 1/2 stars.


“No, if we use the word certain when crossing the line, that would mean crossing the line is inevitable,” she says.
I shrug. “Sometimes it is.”
“Nothing is inevitable except death.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. Some things are just fate. And you can’t fight fate.”
“But—”
I interrupt her. “You keep telling yourself you can fight fate. But I promise you, you’re wrong. Some things are just meant to happen.”

Who does Lucky choose? Who would you choose? You will have to read the book to find out.
