The second stand-alone novel in The Heartbeat series

Maddie

Three things are more important to me than anything else: family, baking, and fun. So when I saw Keller Cannon, drummer of LP-45, perform at a charity concert, I knew he’d be the perfect guy to have heaps of fun with.
It was temporary. No strings attached. A pretty damn perfect arrangement if you ask me.

Until it wasn’t. Until being with him highlighted just what I was missing.
But having more wasn’t an option. He made that perfectly clear.

Keller

Music is my escape. When I’m behind my drums, I’m granted temporary respite from my demons and a small reprieve I don’t deserve.

Until Maddie. Maddie is a distraction I can’t afford and crave at the same time. I drown in her, and she breathes life into me. She offers peace - the comfort and promise of a life free from the torment. But I don’t deserve her. And I can’t need her like I do. I just can't.

I absolutely love it when the second book in a series is even better than the first book. My expectations has completely been surpassed!

The narration was beyond PERFECT! I love how the narrators pronounced the Afrikaans words. Erin and Jason you brought magic to my ears!

I loved absolutely everything about this book. The audiobook had me hooked from the start. Maddie and Keller had some serious chemistry and decided to partake in a little friends with benefits relationship... totally casual, nothing serious. It really couldn't be more anyway given that they live on totally different continents and Keller doesn't do commitment and attachment.

Except....maybe their time together was more explosive than either could have imagined, and maybe they connected in a way that wasn't just physical, and maybe just maybe they were what each other other needed to be whole and at peace.

I loved Maddie and Keller. Their banter and the back and forth between them kept me fully invested beginning to end. My heart went out to Keller as he worked through his past and all he had been through, and I was 100% cheering for Maddie and Keller to get their HEA. I adored getting more from all the characters in the previous book also including Dean, Blair and of course Papaw. I so enjoy this author's writing stlye and definitely did not want this story to end.

Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon totally rocked this one. Jason Clarke's voice is completely epic, but he definitely brought forth all the emotions needed for Keller's story. I could listen to him ALL DAY LONG!!!! Erin has always been a favorite narrator of mine as well. She has a wonderful voice to listen to that just makes getting lost in a story so easy. I would highly recommend them both.

Drop Beat is an entertaining satisfyingly spicy rockstar romance. I was very excited to read this book after reading the first one (Back Beat) and wanting to know what was in store for Maddie, Blair's best friend. This story is low angst and the drama resolves itself quickly so the book is high enjoyment and low stress. Blair and Dean from book 1 play prominently in this book and it's fun to see their story continued. There were some scenes where the language choice took me out of the story or the moment, but the narration was so great I was easily able to sink back in. Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke do a great job with the humor and the heart during this book. Jason Clarke performs Keller's prickly personality perfectly, embodying his anger, humor and alpha-ness so it came through in every line.

I definitely recommend this book, it can be read as a stand alone, but i think you will get more enjoyment if you read book 1 first.

Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon totally Rock!

This is a steamy, sexy & sweet rock star romance that has you swooning. The story starts of quite steamy and ends so very sweet, like an “awwwe – heart clutching” HEA.

I really liked Maddy´s character. She is so full of life, quirky, a bit clumsy and literally says out loud what she actually just wants to think. She is a big fan of band LP-45 especially their drummer Keller and has nothing against some steamy fun before returning home to South Africa after visiting her best friend Blaire in L.A.

Keller is the sexy drummer of LP-45. He is quite taken with Maddie and suggests a no strings attached fun weekend. He is not into serious relationships as he is battling his own demons and thinks he shelters Maddie by staying emotionally distant!
Maddie and Keller have so much chemistry! I loved how the dialogs were written which made for some really fun & sexy banter.

This is low angst and there is not much drama going on which sometimes is not a bad thing if you want something light, fun, sexy, easy to read/listen to and feel good at the end.

This can be read as standalone but to get the bigger picture of the side character´s like Maddie´s best friend Blaire start with “Back Beat” beforehand which is the first book of the Heartbeat series.

Audio Performances by Erin Mallon & Jason Clarke were amazingly awesome as always. What I love about both narrators is that they do such good imitations of the opposite sex voice. They just ease into it so effortless. They both brought Maddie & Keller to life so perfectly. I actually think Jason is doing one of my favourite female voices as a male narrator.

Swoony, sexy, low angst rock star romance

Holy shitballs!!! (quote Maddie 😝)I really loved the story of Maddie and Keller in this rockstar romance by Ryleigh Sloan. With Drop beat you get witty banter and hot and steamy sexscenes along with the serious backstory of Keller’s past. Maddie is so endearing and funny, and had me laughing out loud throughout the book with her clumsy ways. Keller is the hot and sexy alpha male drummer, with a vunerable side. Jason Clarke (SIGH ♥️) and Erin Mallon were both amazing and brought Maddie and Keller to life in the most perfect of ways. I will definitely be adding more of Ryleigh’s books to my library.

Rockstar romance Gold 🤩
