First Impressions
Wicked Beat is the fourth installment in the "Sinners on Tours" series and this is where we got Eric's book. Our heroine is the sister of the music tech who got injured on the previous installment and is taking his place while he recovers from his injuries. And this one was a bit different from the previous books and it did have some aspects in the story that was a bit of a struggle to get through so while this is my least favorite of the series so far in the series, it still had some great aspects to it that kept me wanting to dig deeper into this story here. It definitely had the erotic flair that you can expect from this author and the solid friendships that we have seen in the series so far and such great music focus that had me nodding to some rock n roll tunes haha

First Line
Rebekah adjusted the pillow beneath her older Brothers head.

Summary
Rebekah Blake has just finished her degree in music and technology and has always loved the Sinners and her biggest dream is to work with them. And when her brother gets injured, she knows that this is her chance to show her talents to them. They agree to her offer for a trade and at first the man that she is drawn to is Trace, but thats not the man her heart yearns for which is the cinnamon roll Eric. Eric has always been the last to be chosen, but he wants to fight for Rebekah even though he isn't her first choice. But as he strives to show Rebekah what he can give her and that his whole heart can beat for her, there are other conflicts happening and Rebekah will have to be the one to make the decision to fight for their relationship when it really matters.

What I Loved
There were quite a few aspects to the story that I really enjoyed actually. I am very excited that Rebekah's brother makes a complete recovery. The sex aside, I did really enjoy the relationship building aspects to Eric. And Eric was definitely my favorite of the couple. He just has such a heart of gold and I adored how devoted he is to Rebekah. The heroine totally didn't deserve it though. haha There is so much creativity in the bedroom between them, they definitely explore some fun roleplay that was interesting. I also really enjoyed some other plot dynamics that come into play with the story such as the drama with her mother and her ex and discovering that Trey is actually bi sexual. I believe his book is next so it should be interesting to see how that develops for him.

What I Struggled With
The heroine, there was just something about her character and how she treats Eric that rubbed me the wrong way to be honest. Even towards the end, she doesn't treat him very good, but he is so an good man, he just takes what he can have with her. So this story didn't fill me with happy moments to be honest. And also some of the sex scenes were interesting. I get that Trey was just trying to get them together but man it might be a struggle for some to read. You definitely need to be more open minded.

Overall View
Wicked Beat is a interesting read that brings together some unique dynamics, a taste of unrequite and a fun love triangle you don't expect to find but delivers on the spice and the heart!

Steam/Spice Explanations

Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship. ( )

Eric's story. My least favorite Sinner's book because of the heroine. Eric is everyone's favorite "watcher", goofy, & kindhearted drummer. Eric is used to leftovers and not ever having groupies or woman after him first. It's lust at first site when Eric meet's their new soundboard operator Rebekah. Rebekah is Dave's sister (Their soundboard operator who was paralyzed in the Sinner's horrific bus crash) who's taking over for him while he is in physical rehab trying to walk again. Rebekah only has eyes for Trey though. Trey teases & cajoles her but doesn't want her. He actually knows she's good for Eric. Eric is head over heels and is all about winning her over and she slowly realizes Eric is worth it. Rebekah is irritating and made me not like this story as much. She's a tease, she's whiny, needs constant validation because of a previous health issue, still has feelings for her ex fiancee, & has a psycho mother who buts into everything and is quite vicious. Eric has his work cut out for him and Trey helps to win her over and get her away from her ex with surprising insight and maneuvering. Eric' past that was discussed in Jace's story gets more information. Eric is the most talented of the band. He can play any instrument and is a great song arranger. Meanwhile, Brian & Myrna are pregnant, Sed & Jess are engaged, and Jace & Aggie are going strong. Domestic bliss is blessing the Sinners so it's Eric's turn. This book is like the first three continuing in real time by each band member in what's going on at the moment. ( )

Definitely not my #1 book in the series - but it was still so good - the naughty scenes in these books are unreal and give you so many ideas!!!!!!!!!!! Poor lil Eric feeling all alone for so long, Reb was not my cup of tea really, for some reason I didn't connect. But the ending - Erics words, I just got so emotional lol Olivia you really know how to sucker punch a girl.. ( )

Eric is my favorite Sinner! He is adorable and I wanted him to end up with someone perfekt. Unfortunately, Rebekah isn't perfect. Damn, that woman is annoying as hell! Still, I loved reading about Eric. More of that, please! ( )

3.5 stars. In Wicked Beat, the final installment of the ΓΌber hot Sinners on Tour series, Olivia Cunning turns up the heat and delivers a plethora of smokin’ hawt and extremely erotic sex scenes. Rebekah β€œReb” Blake and drummer Eric Sticks are playful lovers who eagerly act out their raunchiest fantasies with amazing frequency. Please click HERE to read my review in its entirety. ( )
