Review :

When I read the Blurb of Fractured Beat (The Meltdown Series #1) by R.B. Hilliard I knew it intrigued me, but I had no idea how clever written it actually was.

The author is a one new to me and it will definitely not be the last book of that series that I will read, given the time.

How can somebody be under the influence while not being an addict … well that was a situation as simple yet as complicated as they come.

And I have to be honest the author really got me … I had my eyes on one solution cocky as I am …. I thought I had it all figured out. But oh Boy was I wrong …

I liked the writing style and plotline for sure but more than that I liked that the author did not use the common solutions to old cliché’ s.

Which brings me to Mallory …she was so cool and a perfect fit to Grant .

Never would I have expected to find that amount real suspense in this book when I read the blurb and I really can not wait what the future holds when it comes to further books of that series.

Broken Lyric, Meltdown, R.B. Hilliard

	June 05th 2017

Nash Bostwick is the sexy, playboy lead guitarist of the world renowned band, Meltdown. He doesn’t do love, because love only leads to pain.
Then he meets Rowan…Rowan Burns is running. Her secrets are deep and her past is deadly. She doesn’t have time for love, nor does she want it.
Then she meets Nash…When Nash and Rowan finally take a chance on love, a family tragedy threatens to derail Nash’s career. In his search for answers he pushes Rowan away.
By the time Nash realizes what he’s done, it might just be too late…

Looking for a sweet Rockstar romance here ? I think you took the wrong exit … because “Broken Lyric” R.B. Hillard’s second book in the Meltdown series is non of what you are looking for.

The journey of the leading characters is painful and the road they are traveling is dark.

I admit that it would not be one of my favorites under normal circumstances but this author has woven some magic in-between the pages (of this electronic file #har har) that I read.

Even if the story did not make me laugh out loud or cry like a river (hence the reason why it only received 4 stars instead of 5) – it still has so much depth that the reader can not help but suffer with the characters.

Will they overcome all the obstacles in their way? Their reality seems hard and final … yet the reader can not help but hope and wonder for two really amazingly written characters…

Enjoy J

Title: Not Letting Go

Series: MMG Series

Author: RB Hilliard

Genre: Romantic Suspense (can standalone)

DOWNLOAD FOR FREE APRIL 5-7

Piper O’Connell’s life is crumbling down around her. Broken and betrayed by the man she loves, she flees to the safety of North Carolina and the only people she can trust. When the man who hurt her comes knocking at her door, she is forced to face the fact that maybe she had it all wrong.

Gage Blackwell wants to know why the girl of his dreams walked away. Searching for the truth, he follows her to North Carolina where, instead of receiving the answers he so desperately seeks, he is drawn into an intricate web of secrets and lies.

Will the truth bring Piper and Gage back together or will it destroy them and the ones they love, once and for all…

Wondering what angle he was playing, I hesitated. Sensing my momentary weakness, his arm shot out and hooked around my waist. He pulled me in and, for a second in time, I let myself forget. A shiver of desire danced down my spine and curled around my toes. I tilted my head back and was immediately trapped in his blue gaze. “You are mine, Piper. I knew this the second I laid eyes on you. You are it for me. I love you. I am hurt and confused, but I love you. Please… talk to me.” His words snapped me back to reality and I hated it. I knew that I would give anything in the world for his love…his real love, not the fake shit he kept dishing up. As much as it pained me to do so, I jerked out of his grasp and took a step back. His hurt expression made me angry. “I don’t know why you insist on playing me, Gage, but whatever,” I shrugged, acting as if it didn’t matter. “I told you this before and you didn’t believe me, but you need to. Dooley is not who you think he is and regardless of how things ended between us, I don’t want to see you get hurt. You can take it or leave it, but don’t say that I didn’t warn you.” “Princess, I can honestly say that I have no idea what you are babbling on about and until you tell me…in complete sentences…that make sense…I won’t.” His smug tone went all over me. I stepped in to where our bodies were almost touching, tilted my head back so I could look him in the eye and through clinched teeth let him have it. “I loved you with every fiber of my being and it was real and pure and true. I would have done anything for you…anything. Now? Now, I just wish I had never set eyes on you. You have caused me nothing but fucking misery and heartache.” Tears stung the backs of my eyes, but I held them. I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Instead, I opened my mouth and lied through my teeth. “You don’t have to pretend anymore, Cowboy. It’s time to let it go. I have.” What he said next gutted me. “You want me to let it go? You got it. I’m done wasting my time. Because that’s what you are, Piper, a waste of my fucking time. Have a nice life, bitch.”

RB Hilliard lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband and two children. Her love of the written word led her to pursue a degree in English and later a career as an academic language therapist. In 2012 she took a break from teaching and began writing her first novel, His End Game. Hilliard has published five books in her MMG Series, as well as Utterly Forgettable, a romantic comedy and Fractured Beat, the first in her Meltdown Series.

Everyone cleared out around midnight. Before going to bed, I made my way upstairs to check on Cole and Mac. I was halfway downstairs when I heard the music. All I Want Is You. My heart skipped a million beats when I saw”Max waiting at the bottom landing in nothing but a sexy pair of pajama pants. He held his hand out. “Dance with me?” he asked. Years ago, in his tiny bedroom, not even two blocks away, he’d said those exact words to me. “We’ve never danced together, have we?” I asked. His lips turned up in a panty melting smile. “This is just the first of many, Ellison McLellan,” he answered, and pulled me into his arms. Max held me close as we danced our way through the song. Once it was over, he took my hand and walked me down the hall into our bedroom, where he proceeded to strip off my clothes and lay me down on the bed. His eyes never left mine as he entered my body. Slowly, he moved in and out of me. With each stroke I unraveled a little more until I couldn’t tell where I began and he ended. I gasped out his name as I was consumed by my release, and shivered as he growled my name in return.”

On Sale for Limited Time

Ellie Davis has finally begun to mend the pieces of her shattered heart. With a new job slinging drinks behind the bar at Charlotte’s latest hot spot and a crush on her deliciously sexy bar manager things are finally starting to look up.

New job plus new man equals the perfect anecdote to help Ellie forget all about bad boy Max McLellan…or so she thinks.

This is Ellie’s journey and it isn’t always pretty.

It isn’t always neat.

It isn’t always happy.

But it’s hers.

“This book made me feel like no other.” – Reader Review

“R.B. Hilliard, stand up and take a bow.” – Scandalicious Book Blog

“Where to begin, this book will literally have you in emotional whiplash in the best possible way.” – DDs Book Room

“For a first time i’m blown away and will keep an intensive eye out for future books.” – Reader Review

If I wrote a song for you, this would be it. Max held out his hand. Dance with me?” I wanted to cry. I didn’t want him to go. I wanted forever. He was sunshine and moonlight, sandy beaches and salty air. He was happy laughter and sexy smiles. He was my best friend, my lover, my heart…He was everything good in this world, and believe me, few things were ever good in my world. I didn’t want to lose him, but would never begrudge him this experience.
I took his hand. “We’ve never danced together, have we?”
“This is just the first of many, Ellison Davis,” he murmured, pressing his lips to mine.
“I like the sound of that,” I said against his mouth. We danced for the remainder of the song and just when I thought it was over, it began again.

“Having never read R.B. before I wasn’t sure what I was in for and I am so glad I took a chance and read this book! It had a little bit of everything…steamy scenes, enough suspense to keep you guessing, characters that are well developed and you will fall in love with and, well, rock stars.” ~5 Star Amazon Review by Erin McFarland

“Wow! This was my first read by this author and I’m impressed! Fractured Beat had a unique story line that sucked me right in! I didn’t want to put it down! I love any music/rock star book, but this one was about so much more than just that.” ~5 Star Review by Sammy’s Book Obsession
