Your Rhythm by Katia Rose

Blurb: You know what they say: save a snare, bang a drummer.  Kay Fischer is well aware of what they say, and she intends to ignore it.  After her first step into the world of music journalism ended with a screw-up so royal it deserved a crown, Kay’s been struggling to re-stack the building blocks of her career.  Salvation comes in the form of Sherbrooke Station, the latest alt-rock craze to grace Montreal’s legendary music scene.

A front page feature on the band everyone’s talking about seems like a foolproof shot at success, even after Kay meets their drummer.  Matt Pearson might have a smile sexy enough to be the eighth deadly sin and a passion for music so powerful it makes her heart ache, but Kay’s got things under control.

She’s a professional, goddammit, and a professional would not get tongue-tied over a source, even a source who’s a six-foot, tattooed rock god with an affinity for tight jeans.  A professional would not find herself opening her door at an hour long past midnight to pull said source inside and lead them to her bed.  No, that’s not at all what a professional would do.

Review:  I was never one of those girls who fawned over musicians.  In fact, I didn’t listen to music, outside of the car radio, until I was in high school.  Although, I’ll admit to having a hit clip, which, for those of you who don’t remember, was a tiny clip you stuck to your belt and you could purchase these little flashdrive things that would play thirty seconds of a song.  I had one clip and it played thirty seconds of Bye, Bye, Bye by N’Sync.

My husband played the violin as a child though, so I suppose I married a musician.

Anyways, the long and short of that rambling story is that I don’t usually seek out romance novels featuring musicians, but I really love Katia Rose’s writing style and couldn’t resist picking up her newest release Your Rhythm.  Her writing is so incredible that it holds you captive no matter the subject.

Kay Fischer is exactly the type of heroine so many readers look for.  She’s smart, capable, independent, and she’ll take whatever shit someone throws at her and throw it right back ten times harder.  Who doesn’t love a woman like that?  I was intensely frustrated by the bullshit her previous job pulled on her and genuinely worried throughout the book about her propensity for getting herself into more trouble.  She came across through Katia Rose’s writing as a genuine, caring individual with a little bit of every woman in her.

Matt Pearson wasn’t a chore to read about.  He was sexy and charming, injecting just the right amount of comedy into a sometimes tense story.  I loved the way he pushed Kay to accept her feelings while also respecting the boundaries she set.  Nothing sexier than a man who listens.

One of the best parts of Your Rhythm however was the way that Katia Rose was able to inject the reader right into Canada, Montreal, and the surrounding locations.  Her writing is so wonderfully descriptive that you can picture every scene as though you’re right there experiencing it right along with the characters. 

Anyone with an affinity for musicians, especially of the rock variety, will fall in love with Your Rhythm and the members of Sherbrooke Station.  It’s out now, so grab your copy ASAP for only 1.99!
