Summary

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!

Drop Beat is another great story in the Heartbeat Series. This is the rock star romance of Maddie and Keller. What starts out as a hot and steamy one night stand quickly turns into so much more. It is sexy, sweet, emotional and funny. I love the characters, the storyline and the amazing performance from Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke who both did a wonderful job bringing this story to life.

Maddie and Keller!

Love, love, love Ryleigh Sloan and this second book in her Heartbeat series brought easy listening, passion and all around fun. We have Maddie and Keller featured in this story. Maddie is from South Africa, and finds herself playing with Keller's drum kit. We all know that is not something musicians like, but Keller finds her endearing. There is something about this quirky girl and he makes the most of it for the weekend. But will that be enough? These two were so much fun. Maddie is exactly as she says she is. There is no pretense, she says exactly what is on her mind and it is hysterical. Keller is a little more reserved. He carries some baggage, and he may just need some help with carrying it! Sloan writes low angst, yet realistic stories that we get lost in, and this story was the perfect listen. I loved it!

Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke are a fantastic team and they bring out the best in Maddie and Keller. Mallon easily creates the quirkiness in Maddie, and is so natural it's like we know her well. Clarke finds the heart of Keller and lets us in to help him.It's a wonderful performance and I highly recommend it!

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!
