One sweltering night… and morning after. He set the tempo, and she matched him step for step. No strings. No hearts.
BRITTANY ~
It was supposed to just be a one-night stand. I wasn’t supposed to catch feelings. He’s a rock star and having feelings for him would be devastating. And I’m already struggling — no job, no home, no love life. Besides, I don’t believe in love or happily ever after. Fun … in love or happily ever after. Fun and orgasms are much more concrete.
BROOKS ~
Just one night. Usually just one round. That was all I was good for. It was all I ever wanted. It kept girls from getting clingy. Of course with her, I wanted multiple rounds and the next morning. But when I left, that was supposed to be the end of it. So, why can’t I get her laugh out of my ears? Her smile from behind my eyelids? Her touch off my fingertips? Her moans out of my dreams?
NOTE: This is book 4 in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series, but can be read as a STANDALONE. However the books are best enjoyed when read in order.
What happens when love turns up the tempo? Can the rocker learn to keep up?

Turn Up The Tempo by Charli B Rose a fast-paced four-star read. This is number four in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series but they can be read as stand-alone as I have only read number one and then somehow missed number two and three but I do plan on popping back to read them as this has rejuvenated my need for more music in my life. Brittany and Brooks are just sublime, they have a story that goes on for longer than they planned, but with chemistry like they have you can’t imagine anything else. This is a thrilling read and will keep you hooked, it really does give you the best of all the characters and I will be picking two and three up asap.

Turn up the Tempo is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series. I loved this book and couldn’t stop reading till I finished. I found myself lost in the pages and at times I was chuckling at the bantering back and forth between them to my emotions being all over the place. Brittany and Brooks, He’s a Rock Star and doesn’t do relationships. She doesn’t do relationships and does one night stand out is not a believer of happy endings. There is definitely a attraction between them and the chemistry is off the charts. Can these two have their happy ending? What does the future look like.? Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Turn Up. The Tempo is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend that you read the series in order. The books are all wonderfully written and the characters do recur. Ms. Rose has a great flair for having relatable and easy to enjoy characters. Brook and Brittany are both looking for one thing- a one night stand. Both have commitment issues, but they also have some rocking hot chemistry. This book flowed from the very first page. I read it in one sitting and I can’t wait to see what Charli has in store for us next.

I love rock star romance reads and having read another book from this series I was looking forward to more and I wasn’t disappointed at all! Ms Rose sucked me in from the get go and didn’t let me back out until the very end. I loved everything about this book and would love to go back and read it all again (something I very rarely do!!) I loved Brooks and Brittany! I actually thought that Brittany was a really refreshing character, not a needy one she was happy with the one night stand arrangement as well as Brooks was. They had such a great connection and chemistry that I was always secretly hoping they would end up together and get their happily ever after! I loved the banter between them and their story was highly entertaining!
I would definitely recommend Turn Up The Tempo to other readers!
So I think I will start with the fact that his is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series from Charli B Rose and really it is possible to read without the reading the previous books but I personally from my own opinion would recommend that you start from the beginning and get the collection of characters and their stories backgrounds to fully enjoy this novel. I loved this book for many different reasons but would be remiss if I didn’t mention the love I have for music. Music and books really are my escape so to find a series that blends that and romance all together I am usually hooked completely from beginning to end. This series is no exception to the rule for me. I love the time that I got to spend with Brooks and Brittany, two strong and unique characters that work together to find their own Tempo and balance among the music that life creates. I was so excited with how things turned out and I am even more thrilled to see what is to come next from Charli B Rose!
Turn up the Tempo by Charli B. Rose is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Start series. These books can be read as standalones although I do think you should read the whole series as they are that good!
Brittany has got to me one of my favourite characters that I have read for a long time. There was just that something about her that made me really connect with her. And Brooks seems to be just perfect for her – they both seemed to have the same kind of flawed about them.
The story is well written too. It has a little bit of everything in it to make it that unputdownable read. This series really does seem to get better with each book that is released. I can’t wait to see what the author does next.
I loved all of Charli‘s Lyrical Oddysey books, which I read through Kindle Unlimited, so when I was offered an ARC of Turn Ip the Tempo in exchange for an honest review, I jumped at the chance. This is a stand alone but if you read her earlier books, I think you’ll enjoy this book more because you’ll know the characters. Spoilers ahead
We saw Brittney in her previous LO books as Izzys best friend. She’s a free spirited dancer who wants no part of relationships. We also saw Brooks, who is Dawson’s best friends and the bass guitarist of LO. The two have great chemistry and you really like the characters. They’re not overly dramatic or ridiculous. They’re like you and I. I love seeing how they overcame family issues and commitment phobia, and of course there’s an adorable puppy so how can you not love every minute of this book!
I also love that there were no spelling or grammatical errors, as can understandably happen with an ARC. You can tell Charli puts her whole heart into her books and I can’t wait for the next one. Bring on Maddox and Sky!!!!
Okay so I’m a hugeee lover of a rockstar romance novel they are one of my favourites! Well this fourth installment didn’t disappoint i was in love with story right from the first chapter! I loved the character’s and it was a breathe of fresh air having the heroine having the one night stands and not believing in the happy ever after. Then comes a long a rockstar who change her thoughts of everything but why…what makes him so special….why do one night stands don’t feel enough anymore? I mean i want a happy ending who doesn’t i wanted her to open her heart and see how special she really is and how much she is worth hopefully the rockstar can break those walls….better grab a copy so you can find out!

3 stars
Turn up the Tempo is the fourth stand alone book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series and my first experience with Charli B. Rose’s writing. While I really did enjoy the story without reading any of the previous books in the series, I wish I had read at least book one first. Right away we were introduced to several close friends and I found myself wanting to know more about these characters and their connections to Britt and Brooks in better detail. Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was fast paced and kept my interest. The characters were enjoyable, though, I admittedly favored Britt over Brooks. Turn up the Tempo was a fun read with the elements of any good romance and it was the perfect escape from reality for a bit. As I mentioned above, I really want to read the other books in the series and learn about the supporting characters more. Though the dynamic between Brooks and Britt didn’t miss a beat, I felt I was missing more background. Look forward to adding more from Charli B Rose to my library!
Turn up the Tempo by Charli B. Rose is book four of the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series. This book can be read as a standalone but honestly the series is so good you might as well read them in order. I couldn’t put this book down!
Brittany doesn’t believe in love or relationships or even happily ever after. Her life seems to be a constant struggle so why would she add any of those things to her plate? This thing with Brooks was supposed to be a one night stand. That’s all she wanted and after all he’s a rockstar. It should be easy right? Brooks is known to only be good for one night. So why is it he can’t stop thinking about Brittany? Will these two let go of the way they’ve always done things and change it up?
This book is such a good read. You really feel for the characters and their internal struggles. I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to be over!
Brittany is a spontaneous girl who wants to have fun (and by fun, we mean sex), no strings attached. She wants to keep her feelings intact because he’s a rock star, afterall. She’s already trying to cope with being homeless, unemployed, and single. She doesn’t wanna live in a fantasy because it’s all pretend.
Brooks was in the same boat as he was trying to keep the groupies at bay. He was only good at keeping them at arm’s length until he met Brittany and everything changed. He believes he fell for her after one night. From her laugh to her smile and her touch or the way she moaned in his ear.
Can he find her and get her without going too deep?
This is a beautiful, sensual read that will have you craving for more. You can’t help but get attached to the characters and figure out where their journey is gonna take them.
I was intrigued by the synopsis of this story. Two people go into a one night stand with no intentions of anything beyond that night and are finding that agreement hard to abide by. However, the story that is laid out by Charli B Rose is amazing and kept me invested the entire time.
Brooks and Brittany have both decided that relationships aren’t their thing. When they hook up at a friend’s party, they don’t want it going past that night. Months later, when they are both part of a wedding party, they realize that the night they shared may have been more than just a hookup. However, lack of communication between the two (on top of trying to fight every urge within themselves to allow for something more) leads to a story that is filled with tears and laughter, hot sex and broken hearts, and growth and (gasp!) love. It’s a great story with so much going on that I don’t want to give anything away…so just read it!
Just a heads up…although this is the 4th book in the series, you do not have to have read the previous books to understand this story. While there are flashbacks to events that probably occurred in other books, it does not hinder the reader from moving through this story. That being said…I will be checking out the other books in the series because I want to know how they all to where they are now!
This was my first book by Charli and it won’t be my last. The only thing I regret is reading this as a stand alone, now I’m going to go start from the beginning. I love the characters, how they talk and interact. This is a very easy read, I read it in a couple hours as it’s for sure a heavy page turner!! Don’t plan on doing anything once you start this book because you’ll be addicted from the beginning!! Highly recommend.
Turn Up The Tempo is the 4th book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. This book follows on from the awesome Izzy and Dawson trilogy and it was so good to see these guys again although this is not their story.
Bassist in Lyrical Odyssey, Brooks has no desire to be tied down to one woman. Women are for one time only. So why can’t he get Brittany out of his head? Izzy and Dawson’s wedding would be a great chance to see her again as he’s best man and she’s the bridesmaid.
Brittany is Izzy’s best friend and Izzy is determined to see Brittany happy in a relationship. Brittany currently has no job and a man is the last thing she needs, so why does she keep thinking about the night she had with Brooks last year?
I absolutely loved Brittany and Brooks. Their chemistry is off the charts HOT! The sexy times will have you reaching for a fan to cool yourself down. Brooks certainly knows how to sext too, I had fun trying to work out his acronyms.
This was not a simple fall in love story, both characters have so much going on. Britt has no job and a chance meeting at Izzy and Dawson’s wedding could be the start of her chasing her dreams. Brooks has so much going on with his mum’s health but he’s keeping it all secret, leaving Britt wondering where he keeps disappearing to and who the mystery phonecalls are from.
I thoroughly recommend this book to others.
“I never expected it to happen, but I’d found love. And now I was ready to chase heaven with her.”
This book is hot and amazing. Love the characters and how their story evolves over time.
Hot rockstar romance! Britt is Izzy’s best friend and is all about dance. She breathes it, it is her passion. She wants a job that involves dance but opportunities are slim. By chance she gets a once in a lifetime opportunity and things are looking up. She doesn’t do relationships and is very open about her feelings on the matter. Brooks is the bassist for Lyrical Odyssey and though things are wonderful career wise for him, there are some heartbreaking issues going on with his mother. He also doesn’t do relationships. These two had a night a while back, but because they were in denial or just not sure about what they were feeling, they moved on. Only problem is Britt also had a night with another band member. This is NOT a love triangle! This is about two people learning how to open up, accept love, and navigate life. This a wonderful read that combines the best parts of romance ! It is also very steamy. The writing is wonderful and passionate. You can tell the author gives everything to her writing. I was given the opportunity to read a copy of this book.
I WANT MORE!!!!
Let me start by saying that I loved Dawson and Izzy’s story
But I am soooo happy that Charli B Rose is writing more for the Lyrical Odyssey Series.
I love how Brittany and Brooks story has a little bit of everything in it. I think after reading this, a lot of people are going to be able to relate to the H and h especially the H and his family. They’re both these tough-a$$ characters but deep down its fear that keeps them apart. And of course the green-eyed monster popping in doesn’t help. But like any good romance the H and h have to go through a couple ups and down before they get to their HEA. But boy does Brooks know how to romance the h I loved how the ending/epilogue played out and now I’m curious on who will be the next couple to get an HEA. I’m hoping Wilder ends up with Brielle. I mean, how perfect would that be? With everything that’s happened between Brooks and Wilder in this book then to have Wilder end up with Brooks sister. Yep, Wilder and Brielle is my guess. Either way, I cant wait to see what Charli B has in store for us.
Happy Reading Everyone
