RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS (Reckless Beat 4.5) by Eden Summers

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 16, 2015

One kiss sends Leah Gorman’s life into a tailspin.

After years sacrificing herself for Reckless Beat, Leah needs to catch her breath. She has to escape the constant chaos and revive her frayed nerves. There’s no better place than Vegas and the memory of a heavily-inked man with talented hands to make her heart palpitate for reasons other than stress. Logan is exactly what she needs right now… Or is he? Her pleasure comes at a price, and she will be left to question every aspect of her life and what her future holds.

This novella starts straight after the events of Sultry Groove (Reckless Beat 4) and will lead you into the final book of the Reckless Beat series.

••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS is a novella length story that focuses on Leah Gorman-Reckless Beat’s manager-and a woman who has lost her identity and her life to the business and the band. When an ill-timed kiss from Reckless Beat guitarist Ryan sends Leah into a tale-spin, our heroine heads to Vegas where she goes in search of herself and a one night stand to make her forget about the man back home.

Told from third person perspective (Leah) RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS follows Leah as she endeavors to forget about the kiss, the man, and the heartbreaking loneliness while searching for someone or something in Las Vegas. Enter sexy, tattoo and body modification artist Logan-the man who will offer up one night of passion with no strings attached. But Leah’s strings are tied to the band, and one man in particular.

RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS is a very quick read; an emotional short story about one woman’s search for herself and her future that doesn’t include the man with whom she had fallen in love. The premise is impassioned; the characters are heartbreaking and real; the happily ever after has yet to come. Eden Summers will tease your Reckless Beat journey with a taste of what is to come.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 8, 2015

He wants the world and the admiration of everyone in it.

Sean Taiden, the inconspicuous drummer of Reckless Beat, is sick of living in the shadows of his bandmates’ success. He’ll do anything to gain the recognition he deserves. Even if it means dancing in a music video to the Reckless track that drives a knife into his broken heart whenever he hears it. The saving grace is the tempting choreographer who may be the one person able to distract him from the agony his life has become.

All she wants is the peace that comes with solitude.

Melody Jenkins knows all about fame. She knows enough to determine she doesn’t want a part of it anymore. After quitting her professional dance career, she set up a quiet studio and focused on starting a new beginning away from prying eyes. Until a sexy drummer strides into her life, making her crave something she can’t have while also pushing her to expose secrets she can’t bear to reveal.

Conflicting aspirations and one inextinguishable passion.

She needs to hide from the world she once owned. He wants to rise to the top, proving to himself and his friends that he’s always been the heartbeat of the band. Caught between what they need and what they want, Melody and Sean have to decide which is more important—their individual plans for the future or their feelings for one another.

••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SULTRY GROOVE is the fourth installment in Eden Summers’s contemporary, adult RECKLESS BEAT erotic, romance series focusing on the rock band Reckless Beat. This is drummer Sean Taiden, and choreographer Melody Jenkins’s storyline. SULTRY GROOVE can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty although I recommend reading the series in order as each storyline builds upon the events of the previous book.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sean and Melody) SULTRY GROOVE focuses on Melody and Sean as they rehearse for an upcoming video for the band’s latest release Fighting Against Attraction. Sean isn’t is a good place –emotionally or mentally-and watching his band mates find love and their happily ever after increases the unhappiness in the drummer’s life. Sean wants to be noticed; he is sick of being ignored by the fans and the paparazzi; and living in the shadows isn’t doing anything for his rock and roll ego. When the chance comes to star in the band’s latest video, Sean jumps at the chance only to come face to face with the most beautiful but damaged woman he has ever met. Hoping to use Melody as a distraction to everything that has gone wrong in his life, Sean begins a sexual seduction of the choreographer only to realize that Melody is the woman he wants in his life.

Melody is hiding a secret; a secret from her friends, family and everyone she holds close including the man with whom she is falling love. And it is that secret that keeps Melody from the life that she once loved, and from telling Sean the truth about why she no longer dances in the spotlight or in front of a crowd. I will add that Melody’s issues of self-esteem and her need to constantly pull back and away, were both heartbreaking and frustrating.

The sexual attraction between Melody and Sean is immediate but Melody’s first introduction to Sean finds our hero drunk and disorderly as the celebration of Mason and Sidney’s engagement. Sean has always had a thing for Sidney, and tries to use Melody as an outlet for his pent-up need to distract himself from his best friend’s happiness and future life. What ensues is a growing love between Melody and Sean, until both realize that each other is keeping secret something dark in their pasts. The $ex scenes are erotic, intense and provocative.

The world building continues to focus on the rock and roll lifestyle of Reckless Beat: the tours, the music, their personal lives, and the potential breakdown of each member of the band. The wall between Sean, Mason and Sidney continues to grow, and with it a much larger wall between Melody and Sean.

SULTRY GROOVE is a Beauty and the Beast storyline where Beast comes in the most unexpected presence. Both Melody and Sean’s egos and self esteem are tightly wound to their talent and career choices, and with it we watch as Melody’s life follows a different path, while Sean gets lost in the darkened shadows of his fellow musicians.

Eden Summers writes an emotional storyline about two broken souls who find one another when needed the most. The premise is intoxicating-you can feel the artistry of the movements in the dance. The characters are engaging, charismatic and animated-their jealousy and rivalries are not unexpected in a world fixated on beauty and perfection. The romance is a slow seduction of body and mind.
