Wicked Beat

First of all, well...I just adore this series. SO much. All of those Sinners guys are just hot, all in their own way.

This book was a great addition to the series. You get the expected amazingly hot sex (and TONS of it) but you also get a sweet love story and get to watch two people find real happiness with each other.

You have Reb who is convinced she has been ruined because of her asshole ex-fiancee. (I wanted to punch him for what he did to her!)
And you have Eric who has his own issues that he is dealing with (which were addressed SO well! I loved how Reb dealt with it and how it became just a non-issue)

Reb is the girl of Eric's dreams:

"It was her. Standing right there. About shoulder high. Petite. Feminine. Blond-and-blue-haired. show more Both beautiful and adorable in her mismatched tube socks, a purple tank top and green mini skirt. It really was her. The woman of Eric’s wet dreams."

And Trey was the man of Reb's dreams.

Until she got to know Eric. Together they learned the meaning of true love, acceptance and how to fight for one another no matter what.

My favorite parts:

Reb's absolute non-prudeness. That girl was down for anything at any time.
Reb's acceptance of Eric's "issue" and how she never once judged him for it
The corny jokes that were a mainstay in their relationship
The bathroom scene at Thanksgiving, because Trey fixed SO much with what he did.

I am sad to see these guys all hooked up now... I have loved watching them all find love! I will miss them. show less

Honestly I thought of DNF this one just a little after I started. It went right into a big sex scene and Rebekah was worried about her problem and what they would think. It seemed superficial and weird because I was thinking she meant as in a forever kind of love and kids situation right away, but later on when I found out how she really felt about her problem it made more sense. There's TONS of sex which I was expecting after reading the others. I ended up liking the story after I found out more about who the main couple really was. I would actually have liked a little more of Eric's past included. I enjoyed the Trey and Isaac hookup.

I loved this book from its insanely spicy cover to its gushingly romantic and swoon-worthy happily ever after. This is so much more than a wildly hot rock-and-roll sex-a-thon. Wicked Beat is, at its heart, a truly great love story.

Eric and Rebekah are a perfect match. Two incredibly sexy and endearingly quirky characters who find in the other their sensual soul mate, champion and best friend. The love they share is honest, strong and unconditional.

And the sex? Off the charts hot! Role-playing hilarity, insatiable hungers and endless opportunities to get down and dirty abound. Satisfying erotic perfection.

Wicked Beat had me smiling, misty-eyed, breathless and, ultimately, inspired. Hands down, my favorite of The Sinners on Tour show more Series.

never made it a secret that Eric Sticks wasn't high on my list of Most Wanted Sinners. It was never that I didn't like and enjoy him. I mean, come on, Eric has been involved in some truly epic scenes throughout the Sinners on Tour series. Who can forget the bathtub scene in Backstage Pass, when Eric treated Myrna to a lovely hair conditioning? Or in Hot Ticket, when he was a lively participant in Jace and Aggie's bedroom shenanigans? Eric's always been around -- watching-- the other guys meet their special ladies and fall in love. So yeah, I've always liked Eric a lot, but never really considered him as a man to really covet.

Consider me a changed woman, because not only do I now love Mr. Sticks, but he now joins Sedric Lionheart at the show more top of my Sinners list.

Honorable mention for this book is Trey who is a smooth operator who I adore especially the way he Manhandled Isaac show less

Weird as he is I've always had a soft spot for Eric and I am thrilled that he found someone so perfect for him.

The book was awesome the story actually had a good progression and enough conflict to keep it interesting.

I have a new favorite Sinner! I have been not so patiently waiting for Eric's book to come out and I was honored to get an advanced copy of Wicked Beat. This book was everything I hoped it would be and more! Eric gets his HEA with a wonderful heroine, who is a great addition to the Sinners' family. Rebekah has had her fair share of heart breaks and Eric was just the guy to help put her back together. I could not get enough of this book, and would love to see a "Sinners: Where Are They Now?" book sometime in the future from Ms. Cunning. This book has the sweet romantic factor and of course in true Sinner style the heat factor is off the charts! Fans of the Sinners series will love this new addition, and newcomers will be grappling for show more the older books. One of my favorite things about Olivia Cunning's writing style is she always takes it a step further. This book could have easily ended about two thirds of the way through, but the last third brings closure to most, if not all of the story lines, and gives the reader more of a story than most authors offer.Ms. Cunning never closes the curtain at "Yes, I forgive you and I love you!" She always gives those extra scenes to show there is life after happily ever after, and not in a cheesy epilogue fashion either. This book is definitely being filed on my re-read shelf! For those who want more of Olivia Cunning's amazing writing make sure to check out her One Night with Sole Regret series, it is just as fabulous as the Sinners! show less

Rebekah finally gets the opportunity she dreams of when she gets to fill in for her brother as a soundboard operator for the Sinners. And it doesn't hurt that she has had her sights set on their guitarist, Trey. What she doesn't expect is Eric, the drummer, to interest her too.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Eric gets overlooked looked at the beginning by Rebekah but she does finally come around. (Both of them had their own issues to work through.) Guess I am confused that Eric was willing to be 2nd best, if even for a moment. The steam factor is definitely there though. Overall good read.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review for NetGalley.
