Blog Tour: Review & GIVEAWAY - BEAT OF THE HEART by Katie Ashley

SYNOPSIS

After years of bad relationships and a cheating ex-fiancé, twenty-eight-year-old Mia Martinelli prefers healing her patients’ hearts on the Cardiac Care floor rather than risking having her heart broken again. But that all comes to a screeching halt when caring for the head roadie for Runaway Train puts her into the orbit of drummer and Latin Lover, AJ Resendiz. After a scorching weekend of steamy passion, Mia’s intention of getting out with her heart unscathed is challenged by the stud with the wicked sense of humor, especially when he wants to continue seeing her. But when the harsh reality of AJ’s hoard of female admirers sends her insecurities into overdrive, Mia bails, leaving him handcuffed to his bathroom shower.

AJ never imagined that after two weeks of the best sex and female companionship he’d ever experienced, he would need rescued by his band mates from his shower prison. Although he tries to forget the sensual brunette whose curves made his mouth water, AJ can’t get her out of his mind…or his heart. Months later when he finally seeks Mia for answers as to why she left, nothing could prepare him for their life-altering reunion.

Can AJ prove to Mia that regardless of the women after his body, his heart belongs only to her?

REVIEW
Ok let’s talk about what a lady boner I have for AJ. Lordy be but there are fewer things hotter than a hot Latin Lover. I imagine that Mia didn’t stand a chance at someone that looks like this:

But of course it’s never as easy at super hot guy, sexy girl, perfect romance. So I love that AJ knew what he wanted every step of the way. I thought he was going to be some big playboy that would be hard to reform but AJ was looking for love more than I think he even realized. And when he found Mia, he was hooked. And watching him be what she needed even when she didn’t realize it was amazing. I LOVED that he celebrated her curves and gave her hell whenever she let her self esteem get the best of him. Aj is definitely top book boyfriend material: he’s sexy, talented, loves him family, good with kids, appreciates a real women, doesn’t get scared by a woman’s past and isn’t afraid to be honest about how he feels. So he’s basically a unicorn- total fantasy. But what a fantasy!!!
Then we have Mia. So on one hand I loved Mia. I love that she was feisty and sexy. And I loved that she was a “cougar” for AJ. You get yours girl! Mia had some really shitty relationships. I mean when she was telling AJ about her past, my heart broke for her. And so I knew she would have some issues giving into AJ given the fact that he was famous and had a past with women- many women. But she did start to get on my nerves after a while. AJ was nothing but wonderful to her and honest all the time. And yet she kept effing it up. I wanted to just shake her. Luckily she had a fabulous gay friend that was like:

Dee was awesome and he basically forced her hand into seeing what was best for her when she wouldn’t take it for herself.

I loved that Pesh from The Proposition Series was a part of this. I loved that he was there for Mia as a mentor and as yet another voice of reason. Seriously- could that guy get any sexier?!

It was nice to see the men of Runaway Train again and I loved both the families of Mia and AJ. There were some great tender family moments there.

Really you can’t go wrong with this book. You get a sexy guy- I mean so sexy. Mia is strong but it takes her a while to realize it. It can be frustrating but she is still someone you can get behind and root for. You get a great supporting cast, a little bit of humor and some crazy hot sex. I cannot leave you without telling you that the sex in this book was amazing! I am a sucker for public sex scenes and this book was full of them. So damn hot.
I mean they were all like:

And I was all like:

It was fantastic. Just awesome.

So there you have it folks. Another hit for the great Katie Ashley. Go out and get your copy!
