With Every Beat: A Metal Embers Novella by Vanessa Rose


 


 

Blurb:

Derrik Hollbrook is getting the opportunity of a lifetime. When he gets hired as the new drummer for Louder in Silence, one of the biggest metalcore bands in the world, he knows he has made it. Nothing matters more to him than drumming and building his career. That is, until she comes into his life. It was a kiss. A steamy kiss from the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. However, when he discovers who she is, his world stops. Derrik can’t be with her–he can’t not be with her either.

Briar Sharp is no longer a child, and she needs everyone to start realizing it. Being the daughter of the overprotective front man for Louder in Silence, Abel Sharp, has kept her dating prospects to a minimum. So, when she runs across a sexy stranger at her graduation party, she takes a chance. Their kiss is electric, and she knows one kiss is never going to be enough. When she finds out who he is, Briar knows her father will never allow them to be together.

Sneaking around and stealing moments, the two of them live in constant fear of being discovered. Can they find a way to be together, or will her family rip them apart and send him packing?

 

My review:

This story starts in the same timeline as Into The Fire but can be read standalone as the author gives us the important parts.

Briar Sharp is the only daughter of a giant rock star. She has been over protected her whole life. But when this story begins she’s eighteen and just graduated from high school. 

When this story begins Derrik is a twenty two year old drummer who has been given the chance of a lifetime joining Louder in Silence.

This is Briar and Derriks love story. We follow them through a messy meet-cute through a black eye and tragedy but their love is true from the very start and I enjoyed watching it grow and flourish.
