My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beats of the Heart is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. It is an amazing start to the series and is her debut book, people, debut.. It is a romance friends to lovers story where there is friendship and love, heartbreak and loss, heartache and second chances.

Dawson and Izzy are have known each other since childhood and transcended from friends to lovers and had the world at their feet. He the Rockstar and she trying to find her way to what she loves, art. But I went from loving him to wanting to make him hurt. Charli has brought to life, two wonderful characters who wove their way into my heart and their relationship is so emotional that it pulled at my heartstrings. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride and I am left with mixed feelings as I feel somethings were left unanswered with the way it ended. What it the mystery that now surrounds Izzy? I hate cliffhangers. I need the next book. I want answers now! Look out world Charli has arrived!

Beats Of The Heart ( Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 1) By Charli B. Rose is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I was drawn into their world and felt like I was right along with them. At times I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride, as my emotions were all over the place. Izzy and Dawson have been best friends since they were younger and have gone from friends to lovers. These two believe their hearts beat as one and that their souls fit together. Izzy is Dawson’s muse and because of her, the music flows. These two have off the charts chemistry and holy hell does it get hot and steamy at times. Find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book. You won’t be disappointed, I know I wasn’t. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Beats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose is a four-star read that shows promise. I would have loved to have given this story five-stars and if it was all as good as the last half I so would, it took me a long time to get into as I kept feeling like I was missing something, like a prologue about how they got together would have been great. I know the blurb explained it, but I couldn’t help but feel like I could have done with it. The author had a great way with words and descriptive qualities so much so that I could almost smell the kaleidoscope roses and hear as Dawson was singing my song in bed. Notes of the Heart can’t come quickly enough, as I am sure that it will be a compelling read, this one was so great if only for the start it could have been one of the best reads of the year.

Four Stars

Beats of the Heart is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. This is this author’s debut album and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us with the next book. This childhood friends to lovers book grabbed hold of me from the very start and I just couldn’t put it down. I love the strength and interaction from Dawson and Izzy. The love and heartache bleed of the pages and make you want to come back for more. This is a really fantastic book, especially since it is a debut. It does leave us with a cliffhanger but that just makes the anticipation of reading the next book in the series all the more appealing. I would highly recommend this book and author.

Noooooooooooooooooo!!! How could Charli B Rose do this to me? You get all built up and fall in love with these 2 characters and then you are left with that cliff hanger!! I cannot deal with how this book leaves you.
Beats of the Heart is a beautifully sweet, heartwarming love story. Our 2 main characters Izzy and Dawson totally worship the ground that each other walks on. Their love for each other is so deep and seemingly unbreakable. Best friends since the age of six and now 3 years into a relationship with each other, Izzy and Dawson are loving life and have so many plans for their future together.
Dawson is the frontman of a hugely successful rock band. The record company want the band to appear single and therefore more accessible to their hordes of adoring female fans, so Dawson and Izzy have to keep their relationship secret. As photographs of the couple start to emerge, life gets tough for Izzy and Dawson.
Do Izzy and Dawson get their HEA? That is the million dollar question and I can’t wait for the second book in this series to come out to find out the next instalment in Izzy and Dawson’s story.
A word of warning, if you read this book before the second book comes out then be prepared to scream when you finish the first book as you will definitely want to jump straight into book 2.

Beats of the Heart is the first in an exciting contemporary romance duet. Set in the crazy world of the music industry, we meet two young lovers as they try to maintain their relationship amidst the madness of a rock stars life. This book easily swept me off my feet and I was lost in the story almost instantly. If you like your musical reads with added heartbreak, this book is definitely for you!

Although only a short read, Beat of the Heart packs A LOT in. The heat and passion starts immediately and doesn’t let up. I loved both Izzy and Dawson and the innocence and purity of their relationship. In the blurb this book promise a best friends-to-loves romance, and although we didn’t really get to learn much about that in the book, I love the premise behind it. This book delivers a beautiful love story in the little pages it has and I cannot fault the author for this. Izzy and Dawson’s relationship feels real and believable, which can so often be missed by authors. I connected with the pair and found myself really wishing for their happiness. Whilst there won’t be any huge spoiler here, I will say that you need to be prepared for some shocks. The end of this read was a killer, especially as part two isn’t out yet!

Simply put, I loved this little read. It was thoroughly satisfying and has left me very happy on Wednesday evening. I cannot wait until the next part is released (I need it now!) and will be telling lots of people about how good this read is. If a romantic, music read is what you’re looking for, Beats of the Heart will perfectly hit the spot!

Beats of the Heart is book one in the Lyrical Rock Star series by Charli B. Rose. This is my first time reading this writer’s work, and wow, it was crazy good. The story ignites slowly and deliciously, sucking a reader in until they know nothing else but the characters.

What a tale was spun. It was heated with tension and sexual desire. The physical, mental and visual attraction that sizzled between Izzy and Dawson. The ups and downs were plentiful, the attraction knew no limits, and the talent was inspiring. An epic 5 star read that will leave you gasping for the next instalment.

Beats of the Heart was a great 5 star read and book one in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series. I LOVED this book and Izzy and Dawson are my new favorite couple.

Izzy is excited to be joining her boyfriend on tour. She wants nothing more than to be in his arms. Dawson is the lead singer of his band and they are at the top of the charts right now with a successful tour.

When Izzy joins Dawson for a few days, they have to keep their relationship undercover. When pictures start to come out in the tabloids Dawson starts to get heat from the label. He has to start spending time out in the clubs with his band and try and look single. That’s what draws the female fans in, ugh! Izzy tries very hard to understand the situation and supports Dawson as much as she can.

Shattered bulbs can’t give off light. A broken clock can’t measure time. A shattered mirror can’t reflect the truth. A broken car can’t get from point A to point B. How does a broken, shattered heart still beat? Why is it still expected to keep us alive?

After Izzy returns home there is a HUGE twist that throws everything off. My heart was twisted all up in my chest and I was teary eyed trying to read the words. And the ending, WHY did you have to end it on a cliffhanger? I need book two now so I can see what’s coming next. This book has prompted me to create a new folder in Goodreads – Must read series/book. This is my first read from Charli B. Rose and I can’t wait to read more, I was pulled right in and the connection between Izzy and Dawson was page melting. I am on the edge waiting for book two, Notes of the Heart. This is a must read series for sure.

Beats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose is book one of the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series. This book is the debut novel for this author. I was blown away! I finished this book in the matter of a couple of hours. I couldn’t put it down!

Izzy and Dawson have been together for quite awhile. Their relationship grew from friendship to more. Their relationship hasn’t been easy given Dawson’s career but they’ve been making it work and it works for them.

Dawson’s dream has always been music but his Izzy is his heart song. His career kind of gets in the way of his relationship as he can’t claim Izzy like he’d like to. Will Izzy and Dawson be able to make their relationship work?

I didn’t expect this book to turn out the way it did. These characters are so easy to fall in love with. This book evoked so many emotions I was just stunned when I finished it. I can’t say enough about this book. I can’t wait for book two!

Beats of the Heart is the first book in a new series called Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series. While it’s the first book, it seems as if there is a lot of information that would have been written in a prequel. The author does explain that the story doesn’t start at the beginning of their relationship so we are clued in from the start.

The story is about first love, that first love that you think is going to last forever. It is told in present and past tense and from dual POV’s.

The characters are evolving through the story and I look forward to watching their story conclude.

In addition to the story, this book has an amazing sound track. I always enjoy listening to the music an author envisions in their story. I have this one downloaded and listen on shuffle

Beats of the Heart is the first book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series and is the wonderful debut novel by Charli B. Rose. The story is a steamy friends-to-lovers/Rockstar Romance with second chances, heartbreak, loss, friendship, stardom, heart-ache, emotion, drama, mystery, and more.
Dawson and Izzy are wonderfully crafted characters who really tugged at my heartstrings. I loved following their story- through all the highs and lows of their relationship. These childhood best friends turned sweethearts, then lovers, have had quite the journey. I am so torn by the story because I love it- but because of the way it ended, I really up in the air about a few things and I need the next book NOW, so it can hopefully give me the answers I need! I have been on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this book, but I know there is more to come. There are some big unanswered questions, and some mystery surrounding the way things left off – I can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the next book.
An incredibly good Debut novel!

Thank you, Ms. Rose!

Before they can have a second chance, they have to live through their first love… and heartbreak.

Izzy ~
We shouldn’t have taken the risk. We should’ve stayed just friends. Best friends. But only friends. But our hearts were foolish. I’d loved him forever. So, three years ago when he offered what I always longed for, I grabbed it with both hands. But I couldn’t hold on tight enough. The beauty of love blinded me. I didn’t see it coming. Didn’t expect to lose everything. My friend. My heart. My art. My privacy. All of them casualties of love lost.

Dawson ~
Every beat of my heart sang her name. She was my muse. Without her, there’d be no music. I was riding the high of fame and fortune. I had it all—status, money, her. Until the thing I’d always wanted cost me the thing I’d always needed. Love’s song drowned out all the warnings. Now she was gone. So was the music. So was my will. I was left with only silence.

What happens when two hearts sharing one beat fall out of sync?

NOTE: This is part ONE of Dawson and Izzy’s story. Their story will continue in early 2019.

~ AMAZON ~

I know I’m supposed to step into 3rd person here, but I just can’t do it. Hope you’ll excuse me for just being me.

I’m a reader and music lover, but I never imagined combining those loves into this. I took those two passions and started dreaming up stories that flowed with musical undercurrents.

As a romance reader, I’m a chaser of happily ever afters, so I promise I will deliver them to all the couples featured in my stories. (It may take them a while. Sometimes they don’t do what I tell them to.) The heroes of my tales are sensitive, strong, sexy and swoon-worthy. And the heroines are smart, sometimes sassy, sweet and sincere. I promise some heat and some sweet.
