Before they can have a second chance, they have to live through their first love… and heartbreak. Izzy ~We shouldn’t have taken the risk. We should’ve stayed just friends. Best friends. But only friends. But our hearts were foolish. I’d loved him forever. So, three years ago when he offered what I always longed for, I grabbed it with both hands. But I couldn’t hold on tight enough. The beauty of … tight enough. The beauty of love blinded me. I didn’t see it coming. Didn’t expect to lose everything. My friend. My heart. My art. My privacy. All of them casualties of love lost.
Dawson ~
Every beat of my heart sang her name. She was my muse. Without her, there’d be no music. I was riding the high of fame and fortune. I had it all—status, money, her. Until the thing I’d always wanted cost me the thing I’d always needed. Love’s song drowned out all the warnings. Now she was gone. So was the music. So was my will. I was left with only silence.
What happens when two hearts sharing one beat fall out of sync?
NOTE: This is part ONE of Dawson and Izzy’s story. Their story will continue in early 2019.
Lovers of rocker romance will enjoy this debut novel.

This is a great debut for a new author.
Part 1 of a 3 part series.
The story pulls you in and keeps you there. I fell in love with Dawson and Izzy immediately.
He’s a big rock star. She’s an artist. He’s touring the world with his bandmates. She can only visit him a few times while he’s on tour.
Can their love survive half a world apart?
Looking forward to reading this one! Love this cover, it’s so pretty!
This was a great story. Starts off really good and a love between being younger and then split when teenagers and then were brought together again. This is a story that everything seems to be going really well so your like ok something is going to happen. And it did…. WOW great read and you for sure wont want to put the book down and you will for sure look for the next one to come out.
Love these fast pace books. Dawson and Izzy have been dating for a while. Like 3 years together but with his schedule and concert tours they have a long distance relationship. Dawson has always made Izzy feel like she’s number one in his life. They have their own bubble that almost everyone is loving. Dawson’s manager seems to always have something to say about Izzy and Dawson’s relationship and to keep it out of the public eye. When pictures start to pop up with her hair and profile they were ready to state they are dating but the manager said no. Then when Izzy is home she starts to feel sick again but thought it was jet lack but then she went to the doctor and found some stuff out and during this time Dawson wasn’t answering his phone or email. She started to get nervous and kept trying to get him but then she got and unknown number sent her a text and her world came crashing down. She trying to rid herself of Dawson.
This story ripped me apart! Lizzy and Dawson are childhood friends who turn into more but his career is front and center of the public eye and they can’t declare their love in the open. Lizzy is ok with it since his behavior shows her from across the world that he only has eyes for her. He moves heaven and earth to spend little snippets of time with her any time he can. Their love, if it can withstand the pressures, is strong and unending. Until their world explodes. I was devastated and cannot wait to read the second book in this series. This is a new author to me and I guarantee it will not be the last.
Wow, what an amazing book by this author, and congratulations to her on this debut novel. This is my first book from this author and it definitely will not be my last. It was truly a fantastic book and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. Highly recommended.
Wow. My heart is in limbo with this beautifully written story that tugs at the heart. I love childhood friends Izzy the artist and Dawson the musician. His muse as he rises to fame and recognition. Yet the price of fame pays a heavy toll for this couple. I need to know what happens next I am so invested.
Izzy and Dawson story begins as they start as friends and progress to more as they navigate their relationship and deal with the stress of Dawson becoming famous and Izzy being his inspitation. Can they survive I can not wait to read the next book.
Oh wow right from the beginning you know something has got to go wrong even though you don’t want it to. Dawson and Izzy are so perfect and in love but he is the lead singer in a popular rock band and she is an up and coming artist but his label doesn’t want him attached to anyone. It ended in a cliffhanger but I sure am hoping it works out because you want them to work out so badly.
I really enjoyed this Rockstar romance. Izzy and Dawson’s story is intriguing. Not totally your typical Rockstar romance as well ends in a cliffy, which I do love.
All their firsts have been shared together. Growing up together and living through Dawson’s rise to stardom. Nothing seems to be able to break this solid couple. Aside from distance and keeping their relationship out of the spotlight that is….
5stars. Can’t wait for book 2.
Loved the characters and the way their story developed over time, in layers of hope and challenges. Well written, hate cliff hangers, but am so looking forward to next book. Sweet heat level, love the growth of the relationship. He’s a keeper, and she’s a strong heroine. More, please!
Outstanding.
Oh My gosh !!!!!
This book is Incredible
I absolutely LOVED this story ,which is Beautifully written by Charli B Rose.
It really did blow me away,I was so entrenched within the pages I could not put it down,until I had absorbed every single word and stayed up until the early hours to finish it.
Dawson and Izzy’s Romance swept me away,a young love but no ordinary Love as Dawson is frontman to a very popular Rock band. Childhood best friends which turned into more their Love story is trying to survive in a world of fame..
I swooned over their love for one another and how Dawson Loved Izzy it was what romance is all about.He was willing to sacrifice anything to make the relationship work but not everything works the way you want them to and when something happens out of your control,it can test the strongest of bonds.
My emotions were all over the place and my heart was aching so much by the end I am left so frustrated. This is a phenomenal and addictive read and I cannot wait to devour book 2 I need to know Everything there are so many questions swirling inside my mind.
I really enjoyed Beats of the Heart Charli B Rose has created a story that you will never forget and that you will just want more and more of,it has my highest recommendation.
It is
AMAZING !!!!!! And worth more than 5 stars
I’m always looking for new authors to read and came across Charli in a group. I’m glad I did or I wouldn’t have been introduced to Dawson and Izzy. At first their loved seemed too perfect. Too easy. Boy was I wrong. As beautiful as it started, it became messy. Tugging on your heart and making your stomach clench! Definitely invested now!
Be prepared to be swept away by Izzy and Dawson. This novel starts you on their impressively written story. Their journey is penned in vivid detail and brings for intense emotion as the reader turns page after page. Oh, and the sinfully hot and extremely arousing chemistry of these two is off the charts! While it does end on one heck of a cliffhanger, thankfully books two and three are published and ready for me to one-click and continue on.
This is the first book I’ve read by Charli B. Rose and my gawd… I was an emotional wreck! In this book, I started to love Dawson and Izzy. As the story goes, I know that there will be something that will happen. :'(
Anyway, the story and the characters are amazing and easy to relate with. The ending of this book. My gawd!!!
This is my first book by this author. I found I could not put this book down. The characters jumped off the pages and the story line flowed so easily. It was really easy to get lost within the pages. This is book 1 of a 3 book series. It does end in a cliffhanger, but that’s ok because I cannot wait to start on book two. I loved Izzy and Dawson. And you will too, so yes I am definitely recommending this book and series!
This book was amazing. I love friends to lovers! The story line is familiar, but the author did an amazing job of getting the emotions to the reader. I could feel the love between Dawson and Izzy. I could really feel the heartbreak. I wish Dawson would have stood up to Lila more forcefully. I really want Dawson to man up and grovel. I still really liked him though. I want to know how the band felt about Dawson’s actions and why they were so silent. I thought they were friends of Izzy’s too. I can’t wait for book two.
I can’t believe this is a debut novel, congrats Charli on your amazing release.
Note this book ends on a cliffhanger without an HEA yet!
This book gives you feiendships, love, heartbreak, and a question about what the future holds.
SOME SPOILERS
Dawson Loves his music career but he loves Izzy more, without her there would be no music. He’s never given him a reason to doubt their love, until after the photos were leaked, he wants to protect her, but then something changes and they seem to be over.
Izzy is an artist and madly in love with her childhoods sweetheart Dawson. Their living in the shadows of his music career but making it work. One trip leaks the truth in images – they are madly in love, but with interference from his music manger, he’s a single man who can have anyone he wants. Izzy is now alone with a broken heart but she also has to carry on, she needs to learn to live without Dawson.
This is a second chance love so hopefully the second chance will be them reuniting again and continue their epic love. Or will they move on and find love in elsewhere?
Wow…this story has me believing that love is the most powerful thing in this world. The way they show it for one another is what kept me hooked. I turned pages after pages and Dawson became my loving kind of man. Childhood friends who became lovers that gain more from each other was something that I wasn’t expecting.
You don’t want to miss out on this story because I promise you, you’ll fall in love with it.
Wow – what a way to start a writing career! Congrats Charli!!! I loved Izzy and Dawson’s story. They were childhood friends, best friends, prom dates, and then to so much more all while Dawson’s music career took off. They made their relationship work with texts, emails, visits. Their story was full of love with surprises, some mystery, unanswered questions, heartache and a cliffhanger! I can’t wait for book two – their whole story and the answers I need.
