Back Beat by Ryleigh Sloan
4.0
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.
