Ryleigh nailed this story!
I had the pleasure of Beta Reading Back Beat.
I devoured this book. I read over half of it in one sitting. It’s unputdownable! Blair & Dean’s story is a little different than usual. He is a superstar, she is trying to become one. One mistake could ruin it all.
Ryleigh did an incredible job portraying the hectic lives of people in show business. Boundaries get crossed. Lives get upturned. But in the end dreams prevail.
This book will make you laugh out loud. Just enough heat to make you want to melt & a love story to die for.

This is my first Ryleigh Sloan and I can not wait to read more. Erin & Zachary are two of my absolute faves throw in Rockstar Romance and this was a no brainer.
Erin portrays Blair perfectly. Just the right amount of naïve mixed with a heady strong personality. Gah & Zachary is all sex god swoony as Dean

Backbeat by Ryleigh Sloan is a fun and flirty rockstar romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Narrated by Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber, it is a story of a girl trying to live out her dream on a singing reality show, similar to The Voice. I enjoyed almost everything about this book, it had enough drama without being outrageous, and I loved seeing Blair and Dean get to know each other, and try to resist the pull they had towards each other. The narrators gave great performances infusing emotion into the characters as well as appropriate depth and humor.
There were a few technical things that bothered me, but did not affect my review or enjoyment of the audiobook and story. The heroine and her family are from South Africa and none of the characters had accents in the audiobook. Also there was something going on with the editing during Zachary Webber's chapters where there were longer than normal pauses which seemed like something to do with the editing and not the performance.
I fully recommend this book if you enjoy the rockstar sub-genre.

This is a standalone rockstar romance and my first by Ryleigh. I've always heard amazing things about this author and needed to see for myself and I was not disappointed. Back Beat was a fun spin, based off a reality T.V. singing competition show. I was hooked on Blair and Dean's story from the first page. Dean is a huge rockstar and judge for the show. Blair is the contestant with a once in a lifetime opportunity. This book contain all the feels. The chemistry and connection they have is off the charts hot. This was an amazing book that I devoured in one sitting. I can't wait to see where Rlyeigh takes us next. Will we get Kade's story? Or Maddie's? This is a must read with an HEA.
