Where so I even start with The Rhythm of my Heart? I beta read for Velvet Reed so I got to see the whole journey, chapter by chapter and I've got to say it's been an amazing experience.Gracie is strong, resilient, she's the kind of girl you want in your corner. She's had a rough trot but she's come out on the other side of it stronger, smarter and with a deep love for her family and friends.Cole is dreamy, he's a doctor, he's amazing with kids, and has such a special relationship with his family. He's the kind of guy you take home to meet the parents, but don't let that fool you, he's hot as hell and sure knows how to turn up the heat.The love and passion these two share, comes about organically, it grows, deepens, and it leaves you as the reader breathless.Not only does Reed write one hell of a H and h - she creates the perfect complimentary supporting cast in Ash and Sam - the best friends, John, Olivia and April Cole's parents and sister, Bryan, Charlie, and Ruby - Grace's dad, brother and niece. And even Miranda the perfect villain (who I may have threatened bodily harm to a time or seven)Rhythm isn't all sunshine and rainbows, it's real, it's life, both Grace and Cole have a past, this story is their present and I was so invested that I can't wait to read about their future.For me, a mark of good author, isn't just writing a H and h you want to read about, it's writing a supporting cast that has you equally interested, invested, and Reed did this in spades. To think this is only her debut astounds me, leaving me breathless with what she'll do and where she'll go next. Congrats Velvet Reed on writing something that drew me in from the very first page and left me wanting more.
