Oh my giddy aunt.
This book! I've read quite a lot of rockstar romances lately (thank you KU) nut never has one gripped me like this. Okay, maybe that's an understatement but I digress.
In this book is a lot more than your standard romance. There's a real story here. That twist at the end I never saw coming. I called the wrong guy the whole freaking time. But the ending was pretty damn solid. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

Still love the story in audio. The voice of Mallory is fantastic and actually the voice for Grant is done really well, but the man's voicing of the women in the story makes me laugh every time!

Fractured Beat follows the story of the band Meltdown and a drug counselor named Mallory. This is not your typical rock band story. Yes it has the music, the groupies, and the rock star attitude, BUT! There is suspense and mystery and "who the hell did it" factor that I loved!!!! Even I was thrown for a loop at the end! Great read! Can't wait to read the next one!!

Hilliard lost me when Grant referred to a female character as a slut, completely ignoring the fact that the man was as much to blame for the "slutty" situation. I found that very offensive, even if it was supposedly in chapter. I skimmed after that.

This book had me intrigued right from the start. I had no idea what to expect from the blurb and I loved that. The story had quite a few twists and turns, I adored both the main characters, and the writing brought everything to life.
Grant Hardy is the lead singer for the band Meltdown. Right from the start, there is an incident that happens on stage at one of their concerts. Grant is rushed to the hospital, and from there, the mystery as to what happened begins to unfold. Forced into rehab for an addiction he doesn’t have, he starts to question just what his life has come to.
“Life was an avalanche. If you didn’t take control of it, it could take you down and bury you alive. I knew this all too well.”
Mallory Scott is an addiction counselor who is called in by the label to help Grant. It is clear from the moment she arrives, not all is as it seems. She realizes getting Grant to trust her is going to take some work. Unfortunately, getting him to open up means revealing more about herself than she feels comfortable.
“I was the moth and she was the flame. If I got close enough I could get burned. Some things were worth getting burned over.”
Mallory is broken, and as the story develops, we learn more about what she has overcome. She is her own worst critic, not realizing her worth, suffering under the burden of her past mistakes. Grant is still reeling from his own personal tragedy. Guilt weighs down on him, and he is feeling lost. I was really rooting for these two to finally find their happy. Grant really pushes Mallory, making her confront her feelings, which was great. He never gives up on what he wants. Mallory, in turn, helps support Grant, believing in him when others don’t.
The growing relationship between Grant and Mallory develops against a backdrop of lies and misdirection. Grant is determined to find out the truth, and Mallory is determined to keep her own secrets. I loved how the story was paced; I couldn’t wait to find out how it would all come together. Overall, this was romantic suspense done right; the perfect balance of both. I assume we will be getting future books based on the other band members, and I can’t wait!
“Grant was my client and I was his counselor, end of story. Except it wasn’t the end of the story, was it?”

It was my first book by R B Hilliard and I really enjoyed it.
I love rockstars' stories. They always have that something that pulls me in. RB has created a story that is a total page turner, with developed characters and believable world.
I love that she wrote about the ugly side of being famous: rehab. Not many authors are touching this subject (at least not the ones I had the pleasure to read!). You would think it will be a story of a rockstar getting on his feet after a rehab but it's so much more! So many twists to ensure you are entertained!
Recommended read!
4.5 stars from me!

Fractured Beat was pretty interesting for the beginning of the Meltdown Series. In it, you will meet Grant and Mallory. He is a rock star in a pretty famous band and she is about to help through a pretty rough patch. The reason why, drugs.
Without really questioning anything, his band and managers dropped him off at rehab. It didn't really matter that he kept saying he never touched a certain type of drug or that he was allergic to it. They just didn't seem to care and kept pushing him to go to rehab. Enter Mallory, who is to help him while his band is back on tour.
After meeting him, and everyone else, Mallory has her own theories and opinions about this whole situation. She is like the only one who is on Grant's side in the beginning. Then she is starting to see that things are adding up. One, he's not acting like an addict would. Two, certain paperwork seems to be missing. Three, a crap ton of people are acting shady and weird.
Honestly, this book was okay but it had so many plot holes within it. Some things would come into play and then just disappear. I feel like if things slowed down between what was happening then maybe it would've made more sense? Not sure though.
In the end, these two had chemistry which was pretty easy to see. I might dive into the next book of this series just to see what is going to happen next.
