••••

REVIEW: RECKLESS BEAT is the prequel novella in Madelynne Ellis’ contemporary, adult BLACK HALO erotic, rock romance series. This is bassist Paul ‘Rock Giant’ Reed, and thief Jodi Castle’s story line. RECKLESS BEAT can be read as a stand alone as it introduces the members of the rock band Black Halo.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Jodi and Paul) RECKLESS BEAT follows in the aftermath of the firing of Jodi Castle from her job at a local fast food outlet, and the hijacking of the Black Halo tour bus. Most of the musicians needed a break and some food, so the bus stopped at a local restaurant but in the wake, the tour bus disappeared along with bassist Paul ‘Rock Giant’ Reed inside. Jodi Castle, a kleptomaniac without the ability to resist stealing, a young woman who ‘steals’ the bus with our hero inside sends the tour bus into a river wherein Paul and Jodi struggle to make sense of what is happening and why. An inflatable raft, a couple of oars, a bag of abandoned kittens, an empty pub, and one night together ends with our heroine ghosting our hero, and the band rescuing Paul ‘Rock Giant’ Reed from his solo adventure.

RECKLESS BEAT is a quick read a fast paced story of one woman’s over night introduction to a rock star, and the rock star’s introduction to a woman whose impulses got them both in trouble. The premise is entertaining; the characters are interesting and colorful; the $ex scene is provocative and intense. Paul and Jodi’s story continues in ROCK GIANT.

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.

UNDESIRED LUST (Reckless Beat 3) by Eden Summers-a review

Undesired Lust

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 21, 2014

They used to be the perfect team.

Two years ago, songstress Sidney Higgins ruined her life by sleeping with not one, but two of the famous Reckless Beat men, Mason Lynch and Sean Taiden. Their night of intimate celebration turned into a worldwide sensation when the video Mason vowed to keep private was uploaded to the internet, destroying her squeaky-clean reputation and turning the world against her. Now she’s broken and left without hope, trying to find the one thing that can get her back on her feet.

A mistake neither one of them is willing to forgive.

When the sex tape went viral and his best friends held him accountable, Mason bore the stigma of asshole with pride. Now, bitterness has destroyed him, driving away his muse and making him worthless in the industry he loves. There’s only one option left to reclaim his creativity, but that would mean collaborating with a woman who wants to castrate him with a plastic knife.

A palpable chemistry even hate can’t diminish.

Forced to work together, neither one of them is prepared for the undesired lust which immediately takes hold. The lies fade away, exposing the truth; however, it also awakens a threat from their past. The person responsible for tearing them apart is back to ensure they don’t rekindle a spark. With their safety in the balance, Sidney and Mason need to determine what they’re willing to risk to reclaim a relationship they wish they’d never lost.

•••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: UNDESIRED LUST is the third full length installment in Eden Summers’s adult, contemporary Reckless Beat rock musician, romance series focusing on the member of Reckless Beat. This is singer/songwriter Mason Lynch and songstress Sidney Higgins’s storyline-a second chance romance for two people torn apart by a mistake, pride and betrayal. UNDESIRED LUST can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. All of the band members and some of the previous storyline characters make cameo appearances including drummer Sean Taiden whose secondary role is much larger than most.

Told from third person point of view UNDESIRED LUST focuses on the fall-out and destruction of a friendship when an erotic sex tape goes viral. Sidney was a willing participant in the three way between the man with whom she had fallen in love (Mason) and his best friend Sean-but she was worried about the possibility that the recording would go public. In the ensuing two to three years Sidney’s life would be destroyed; her business in ruins; and disowned by her family and friends when the video paints her a whore and a slut. Mason’s betrayal was more than a slap in the face-it ripped out her heart and ruined her faith in mankind. When an opportunity presents itself to work, once again, with Mason Lynch, Sidney is torn between her hatred for the man she used to love and her need for vindication and money to survive.

The relationship between Mason and Sidney is volatile but their sexual chemistry and attraction is intense; provocative and undeniable. Sidney cannot forgive or forget Mason for the perceived act of betrayal. Sidney’s personal and professional life still lay in ruins but she continues to believe Mason’s life went forward as though nothing went wrong. It is only when the truth is finally revealed does Sidney realize that someone else may be responsible for the destruction in their lives. Threatening letters, emails and texts will send Sidney running for the comfort of home but not before a declaration of love is made by both.

The world building continues to focus on the members of Reckless Beat but Undesired Lust focuses primarily on the relationship between Mason, Sidney and Sean. Sean’s relationship with Mason is also affected when he realizes that he too has been in the dark about the truth. All three will need the support and comfort of each other and the band, when someone else is determined to destroy Sidney’s life-one band member at a time. Mystery and suspense are woven throughout the story when Sidney’s life is threatened because of the rebuilding friendship with Mason and Sean

UNDESIRED LUST is a fantastic addition to Eden Summers’s Reckless Beat. There are moments of heartbreak (wipes a tear), seduction and passion. The destructive nature of jealousy and pride is central to the storyline premise with a startling revelation that will destroy another friendship, in the end. Eden Summers writes a sensual series where love can be addicting, compelling and destructive but in the end, it is true love that wins out every time.

Excerpt Black and Hot Pink

The guys stared at him with varying degrees of disbelief and annoyance—Sean, Mason, their two bodyguards, even Ryan wasn’t impressed. The one person who didn’t seem pissed was Blake, who sat on the couch across from him, legs crossed at the ankles and a knowing grin tilting his lips.

Reckless Weekend blurb“What are you smiling at?” Sean jutted his chin at Blake. “Did you get laid or somethin’?”

Blake shook his head. “I wish. I spent the last six days in Richmond with grumpy-ass here.” He jerked his thumb in Mason’s direction. “When I got home, Gabi was surfin’ the crimson tide, so I couldn’t get lucky if I tried.”

“So what’s with the smirk?” Ryan asked.

Blake outstretched his arms along the back of the lounge. “Can’t a guy be happy to spend quality time with his friends?”

“You know what’s on the list, don’t you?” Mitch asked, dread growing in his gut. Blake was the only person at the bachelor party who knew the honeymoon issues were fake. Yet there was something more to the gleam in his best friend’s eyes.

“Gabi may have given me a hint or two.” Blake turned his gaze to Mason. “And why the hell do you have your panties in a bunch about the Brazilian? Didn’t we put the same thing on the list for the ladies?”

“There’s a big fucking difference, bro,” Mason huffed. “Women get their shit waxed all the time.”

Sean cleared his throat. “I’ll do it.”

Stunned silence followed.

Mitch turned his attention to Sean along with everyone else in the room.

“What?” Sean frowned, lowering his gaze to the glass in his hands. “I’ve had it done before. No big deal.”

“You’ve had it done before,” Mason repeated, emphasizing the words with slow deliberation. “You’ve had the hair ripped from your balls, just for the hell of it?”

“It’s not like it’s all pain and no gain. I’ll get my pole smoked afterward.”

“Beauty therapists aren’t whores. You know that, right?” Ryan asked. “A blow job isn’t part of the deal.”

Sean shrugged. “They’ve never let me down before.”

“OK.” Blake drawled with widened eyes. “So we’ve determined who’ll get kicked out of the beauty salon first. What else is on the list?”

REVIEW: PASSIONATE ADDICTION is the second instalment in Eden Summer’s contemporary, new adult rock genre storyline focusing on the members of the rock band Reckless Beat and the women they love. This is Blake and Gabrielle’s story-one with a heartbreaking past that has the ability to destroy the future. Although this is the second in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty.

The storyline begins five years in the past when Gabi and Blake were first introduced. There was never a physical introduction but one via message boards and Skype. Gabi was a volunteer with a crisis help line in Australia and Blake was in need of a crisis intervention back in the USA. Fast forward five years and Gabi will come face to face with the man to whom she has lost her heart and her soul. With Reckless Beat preparing for their Australian tour, Blake made it his mission to find the woman he calls his ‘angel’. She saved his life and he wants to make their relationship more permanent.

The novel focuses on Gabi and Blake’s building relationship. For five years Gabi has been Blake’s rock and sounding board, and now that they are finally together their physical connection is immediate and over the top. But Blake’s past is about to present itself front and center and Blake believes that his only option is to walk away before Gabi is pulled into the mess that was once his life.

The sexual relationship between Gabi and Blake is palpable. The love making is sensual, erotic and often. The world building continues from Blind Attraction as Eden Summers reveals more about the band members and the daily lives behind the scenes of a world famous musician.

There is plenty of tension and anxiety; blackmail and revenge; betrayal and issues of trust. The leading characters are likeable and relatable in a ‘famous rock god’ sort of way. There are heartbreaking and painful moments when Gabi must face the truth of what she has seen, but the reality is much different then what has been presented. A shattered heart is a difficult thing to put back together-there will always be a scar as a reminder of the past.

Eden Summers pulls the reader into a vortex of emotions that can only end with a HEA.

Passionate Addiction
Reckless Beat II
by Eden Summers
Release Date: November 15, 2013

Passionate Addiction

He’s been her ultimate untouchable desire.

Nothing says happy birthday like a rock god flying thousands of miles to surprise a woman he’s never met. But that’s exactly what happens to Gabi Smith when she gives her long distance best friend a flippant invitation to her laid back girl’s night out. She never expected to turn on the dance floor and find Blake Kennedy’s gaze holding her body captive.

Gabi means more to Blake than life itself. She’s his strength, his savior, and the only person who helped to vanquish his demons. No one means more to him than his angel. So when things between them start to sizzle, he’s ready to fight for the future he never thought he would deserve.

Skeletons from his past will threaten his only chance at love…

Blake has come a long way—with Gabi’s help—to leave the hell of his youth behind him, but sometimes memories don’t want to stay buried. Determined to stand on his own for once, Blake is willing to stretch the truth to keep his troubles from burdening the woman he adores.

Little white lies can create black holes in any relationship. Only time will tell if an Aussie with a heart of gold will forgive her bad-boy boyfriend or if the deceit will end his passionate addiction.
