TEMPTING BEAT is the sixth book in Brooklyn Ann's Hearts of Metal series. Although this character has appeared in previous books in this series, I believe that TEMPTING BEAT works as a standalone story. This story is told from alternating perspectives, giving the reader crucial insight into the two main characters. For nurse Gwen Mason, when the guy next door happens to be a rock star hottie, her lonely days soon become a thing of the past. When it seems like all his bandmates are finding their soulmates, Rod Powell sets his sights on his beautiful and down-to- earth new neighbor for companionship. On the road to happily ever after, these two must work through their own inner conflicts, and bypass a few annoying neighbors.

TEMPTING BEAT starts out with Gwen Mason less than thrilled as another birthday and gray hair make their appearance. Since her age is a touchy subject for her, it's a beautiful irony that her new neighbor is single, a charming musician, and seven years younger than her. Gwen already figures Rod's a little younger, but when it's confirmed that puts the kibosh in her mind on ever becoming involved with him. Rod eventually sways her with his good-natured charm and considerate behavior. It also helps that he has a sexual magnetism that calls to her. I love the way that the relationship between Rod and Gwen develops very organically and they get to like each other before things get physical. Brooklyn Ann's Hearts of Metal heroes are usually several shades of amazing and Rod is no different. Even though he may have led the typical rock star lifestyle before becoming involved with Gwen, Rod treats her with respect and is always aware of her feelings and is sensitive to them. With two divorces under her belt, Gwen is extremely cautious about getting in a permanent relationship, but Rod craves a commitment and the intimacy that comes with one. This sensitivity makes this hero particularly endearing.

TEMPTING BEAT has a devilishly sexy British hero and a satisfying and sublime romance. As in previous books in this series, there is a collection of strong female characters who never fail to speak their minds and point the guys in the right direction when they're off course. I look forward to Brooklyn Ann's next Hearts of Metal romance.

Book Summary

YOU NEVER KNOW…

Bleeding Vengeance’s drummer, Roderick Powell knows he’s a sod for feeling glum, especially after moving into a beautiful new home in a smart Denver suburb. But all his mates are partnered or married, and dreadfully happy. It’s enough to make a rockstar rethink his options. And even though his sexy neighbor has given him the brush- off, he’s decided to have another go – at this point he has nothing left to lose, apart from his heart.

WHAT LIES BENEATH

Gwen Mason’s romantic past has been bumpier than most – twice divorced by thirty, she’s had enough of broken promises. An ER nurse who keeps a brutal schedule, she’s happy to become known as the neighborhood crazy cat lady. But…the most delicious man has moved next door. He’s British, he’s famous, he’s a rockstar. And, hard as she tries, Gwen can't keep Rod Powell from breaking all her rules, and suddenly she sees a future she never believed possible.
