Heartbreak Beat started off at a baseball game where I met one of the star players and main characters, Gabriel. Although I enjoyed the banter between Gabriel and his team mate's my heart sank a little as I have no idea or interest in the game what so ever! The author somehow managed to keep my attention by describing the atmosphere so well I could visualise the scene, hear the crowd screaming, stomping their feet and actually smell the hot dogs. Only making me wish I was in the stands cheering with them. From this moment I knew I was in for a good read!Gabriel meets AJ who is the lead singer of popular boy band Inner-Beat. The Two guy's feel a immediate attraction and this is where my heart beat starts to speed up and I become girly ,slushy. I don't think I have ever read a romance written this way. Either the author has one hell of an imagination or he is the most romantic person on the planet. I don't usually go for too much romance but the book could of ended with them living happy ever after at this point and I would of been happy. Wow...I was mesmerized, either reading with my mouth open or a sloppy grin on my face. Talk about emotions running high!I had a feeling the relationship was not going to end with a easy happy ever after but OMG did things for this couple take a turn in the worst possible way. A crazed madman enters the plot and it looks like Gabriel and AJ lives are in danger. There are many great characters in this book yet I kept trying to work out if the madman was a band member, friend or team player yet at the same time Gabriel's butler was totally freaking me out. I was constantly looking for hints in the storyline as this author writes with incredible attention to detail.... I found myself thinking I was part of the plot and turned into miss detective trying to protect this amazing couple. Considering I thought I was reading a romantic love story the tension had heighten in tune with my racing heart beat as I was now reading a crime/thriller.I don't want to spoil the storyline but the suspense just seems to build with each turn of the page and I actually wondered how much my emotions could actually take. There is a few parts where I had immediate goosebumps, shivers and a few tears but it's hardly surprising this book is full of humour, romance, love, murder, jealousy and full on suspense.Gregory Jonathan Scott is an author that has totally surprised me. I expected his writing to be good but his writing style took my breath away and I won't be forgetting Heartbreak Beat for quiet a while!I would love to see a second book as I really want to know more about some of the characters and would love to see what happens with Gabriel and AJ.Highly recommended!!
