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?

I grew to care about Brittany and Brooks and wanted them to be happy. I also enjoyed reading about their interactions with the additional characters in the story. This is a book has moments where I was smiling at the bantering back and forth between Brittany and Brooks. Don’t miss out on an amazing story with wonderful characters.

Turn Up the Tempo is the fourth book in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series by Charli B. Rose. It is a steamy Rockstar Romance with Angst, drama, jealousy, secrets, lust, friendship, heart-ache, emotion, and a little mystery.
Brooks and Brittany are wonderful characters who really drew me into their story, and had me invested in them and the outcome of it all. Brooks is a member of Lyrical Odyssey, Rockstar, bassist, and best friend of Dawson (who we met in the previous books). Brittany is a talented dancer and Izzy’s best friend (who we met in the previous books). When Brooks and Britt come together, sparks fly and their chemistry bubbles over. Will these two find their own tempo? All the sizzling details can be found inside this fantastic book!
I wonder what Charli B. Rose has in store for us next. I can’t wait to find out!
Thank you, Ms. Rose!
This book moves!! The chemistry between the main characters will singe your fingers. Romance lovers – this is a must read! I loved the ebb and flow. It felt like a song to me. This stands well on its own but I do believe the storyline as a whole is best enjoyed when read in series order. Hands down a great story and series!
Book 4 of the Lyrical Odyssey (LO) series, can be read as a standalone, but I would start at Dawson & Izzy’s story Beats of the Heart.
The tempo is HOT, has you turning the pages at a rapid pace, giving you all the feels.
Dual POV.
Brooks a man on a mission, he knows what he wants and Brittany is a hot mess in avoiding what she emotionally wants.
Brooks is the guitarist in LO and Dawson’s friend. Brittany is a natural-born dancer and Izzy’s best friend.
One shared dance has him rock-hard, one night of lust has his head in a spin, but Britt made it clear it was a one ‘n’ done deal, that’s his normal MO so it was a perfect deal…at the time.
SOME SPOILERS
Months later at the wedding they’re lust is too strong to resist, then he’s dumped like a hot potato again.
They’re on and off like light bulbs.
His jealousy takes new heights, friendships are put to the test, but will they be broken?
Brooks knows what he wants, and it’s her, he just needs to have her head playing the same rhythm, so she admits what he already knows…that they were made for each other.
Can they get their HEA together? or will Britt be dancing with a different partner?
This is the fourth book in this series but can be read as a standalone. This is my favorite yet by this author. It is a well developed story that I had no problem picturing myself in. I also found connecting to the characters easy and fell in love with them. Brittany is struggling with no job, job and certainly no romance. Brooks is a one night type of guy. They had a one night stand but is it enough for them? I loved their attraction to each other and their chemistry is off the charts. What will fate have in store for them? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with them and if one night is just that one night.
My dirty talking, sexy rocker Brooks!! His personality is awesome! How possessive he becomes of Britt. His story with his mom and how caring he is with her makes me love the bad boy even more! Britts character is just as awesome! Strong independent woman for the win! I hope to see Wilders story soon and the sweetie can find love too. Can’t say I didn’t hope for a second the one scene with e Three is them would play out. Haha.
This is Brittany and Brooks story and the 4th in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series, but it can be read as a standalone. The best man and maid of honor to Dawson and Izzy who the first 3 books are about. Both Brittany and Brooks look at love the same way – they don’t do relationships and each have reasons as to why love is not for them. A one night stand months ago was perfect at the time or so they thought. Now at the wedding and seeing each other again will they able to continue as friends only? They have chemistry but also both have things in their lives that are at times keeping them apart. Brittany needs a job but a chance meeting gives her life options, while Brooks has so many decisions to make quickly regarding family. Will they be able to work through all life has in store for them and listen to their hearts? There were times throughout the story I was saying please Charli don’t go there, lucky she didn’t and gave the reader a beautiful story of music, dance, and love!
Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 4) is steamy page turner. Brittany and Brooks met at an anniversary party for their mutual friend Izzy where they had a hot and heavy night together. It was meant to be one night of no strings attached fun, but lines are meant to be crossed right? They meet up again at Izzy and Dawson’s wedding and things pick up right where they left off. Though Brittany is falling in love and she feels that Brooks feels the same she can’t help but wonder if he is playing her. He keeps running off without an explanation and gets weird texts and phone calls from other women. Yes, Brooks is keeping a secret but it is not anywhere near what Britt thinks. How will he be able to show her how much she means to him if she already has her mind made up? How can he express what he feels if he has never felt it before? Blurring the lines normally leads to nothing but bad things, but in this case it just might be the best thing that has happened to either of them.
Fantastic read – every girl’s dream is to hang out with rock stars right? No, in all seriousness, a very easy book to read, Turn up the Tempo flowed really well with a great mix of characters, the perfect amount of spice and twists that kept you guessing.
I haven’t read the previous books in this series and was able to follow along well enough, however am now curious to go back and find out the whole story from the start!
Turn Up the Tempo is the fourth novel in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series by Charli B. Rose. This is my first novel by this author.
Brooks is a guitarist in LO and prefers one night stands. Brittany is a natural dancer. Dancing together turns into a night together. But Brooks doesn’t just want one night together like he usually does. He wants more.
Months later, they meet again at a wedding. The chemistry and lust are still there. Neither of what a relationship, but maybe there is something between them. Even months later, Brittany still thinks about Brooks and doesn’t understand why. Can Brook break down Brittany walls? Will Brook fight for what he wants?
I didn’t read the other books in the series, but now I want to. This can be read as stand-alone but I believe one gets the full effect of the story and characters if you read the others.
I don’t want to give too much away.
I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to go back and read the others.
Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series, #4) by Charli B. Rose was a great 5 star read. I love Rock Star romance and this one did not disappoint. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
We start with a steamy memory of a one night stand between Brittany and Brooks, a few months later they come face-to-face again. Things get complicated when they are bestman and maid of honor for their best friends. Of course they can’t resist each other and Brooks finds her in the bathroom. And boy was that a steamy and hot scene. Neither one of them wanted more than a one night stand but they can’t stop thinking about each other.
There is all kinds of drama with these two, they both have things going on in their lives. We have ups and downs, steamy moments and so much more. All the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I really liked Brittany and Brooks and would love to see more from them. This book can be read as a standalone. If you like Rock Star romance I guarantee you will love this one. 1-click and get started today.

4 out of 4 stars
Turn up the Tempo is the fourth book in Lyrical Odyssey Rock series written by Ms. Rose and I read the other books in this series also. The plot was awesome and the characters where well written and I love their quirks. The only thing that bother me was it was too slow at times and it took me a few days to read the whole story.
This is Brittany and Brooks story they both don’t relationships and they both have a tragic past. It was meant to be a one-night stand. Then months later they meet again at Izzy and Dawson wedding.
Brittany cannot understand why she still think about Brooks it was only mean to be one-night and it was months ago. She doesn’t want to have feeling for him because Brooks in a damn Rockstar he will break her hart.
Brooks he usually did one night that was all he was good for and all he ever wanted. It kept girls from getting clingy. Now that he had his night, he wanted more than one round he wanted a few rounds and the next morning too. When he left her in the morning that was supposed to be it. Now Brittany is all he thinks about her smile, her laugh, her moans, her touches.
So, what is Brooks supposed to do walk away or fight for what he wants? Will brooks break down Brittany walls down? Will they be able to overcome the few obstacles that are thrown their way? Will they over come their pasts and move forward with a relationship? Will they have a happily ever after? You will need to read this story to find out. I do suggest reading all the books in this series in order.

4 of 5 Stars
This is a great rock star romance with lots of heat. Although book 4 in the ‘Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star’ series, it can be read as a standalone story, however some of the characters do overlap. For Brittany it was a one night stand with a sexy well known rock star, no strings attached and definitely no feelings. For Lyrical Odyssey’s guitarist Brooks it was another one off, one night only encounter with a women, after all he doesn’t like them to get to clingy. However when Brittany and Brook spend a fun night and unusually for Brooks a morning together with plenty of sex involved, neither of them can deny their chemistry, which literally sizzles of the page. Brittany does not believe in love but Brooks can not get Brittany and the night they shared together out of his mind.
I loved both the main characters, and their chemistry led to some very hot and steamy scenes between the pair but there was also plenty of romance and some great narrative between the couple. I liked how the book was written from both their point of views which made both the characters come alive more for me. I was happily immersed in Brittany and Brooks story and am keen to read the previous books in the series.

This is the first book that I have read in this series unfortunately. It’s really good and I will definitely go back and start at the beginning. It can be read as a stand-alone. There are parts that allude to events in prior books but nothing that will confuse you. This story is about Brittany and Brook.
A year prior they had a one night stand both agreeing that there would be no second time. Where matters of love are concerned, the heart doesn’t care. After Izzy and Dawson’s wedding, they hooked up again. The passion between them skyrocketed and the chemistry flew off the charts. Each has a hard time admitting their feelings and misunderstandings arise. Can they overcome their problems and have a happily ever after?
The writing is good and the story is interesting. I really loved Brittany and Brooks and was rooting for them from the start. Turn Up the Tempo is a very sexy story that will get your blood pumping.

Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series #4) by Charli B Rose
This is book 4 in the series, but the first book I’ve read. I read this as a stand-alone and enjoyed it. I’m sure reading the other books would’ve provided more character background and more details on the overall storyline, but honestly I enjoyed this all on its own. Brittany and Brooks were great characters and the story was told from both of their points of views in alternating chapters. They both have a passion they feel strongly about (dance and music) and that was described quite well. There were normal complications and miscommunications between characters as well as some spicy heat. I love seeing people that are normally anti-relationship end up in love. This was a nice rockstar romance and I look forward to checking out more books by this author.
O MG! I SO enjoyed this story!! I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read this author. The story was deep and fulfilling. The characters are simply wonderful. I love Britt and Brooks. They are uncomfortable with relationships but are all about the one night stand. They have met up in previous stories and I have not read those books. I had no problem following along. Anyway each of these characters are unsure about going forward. I loved following along with their story..each fighting against themselves for their ultimate happiness.
The boys in the band?!? Those guys are like family but have all that sexiness. They seem to have a wonderful dynamic. I can’t wait for Maddox!!
5 Stars!
Another good one by Charli B. Rose. As with the previous books I was immediately hooked on the story and needed to find out what would happen. Here we meet Brooks, the bassist for Lyrical Odyssey and Brittany, Izzy’s best friend, who we have met briefly before. I understand why both characters are not into or looking for love at this moment in their lives, due to the many issues each of them are facing but, sometimes you can’t predict when love will hit you. When they have one steamy night together, they both go their separate ways and move on, but neither could stop thinking about that night, and a chance meeting again has their relationship going all different directions. I was extremely happy when Brooks realized that he loved Brittany and wanted to be with her, but the lack of communication between the two, left my heart cracking sometimes. The trials both of them have to face, and their inner demons, it was beautiful to watch them both grow and come to each other.
This book can be read as a stand alone but I would recommend the series, as you meet the secondary characters throughout each book. I would highly recommend this book, it has just the right amount of steamy romance, sweet love, heartbreaking moments and drama. I look forward to what comes next.
Turn up the Tempo (Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series Book 4) by Charli B Rose. I loved this book! Its a contemporary romance about Brittany who doesn’t do relationships.

Will they be able to get past only hookups to try a relationship with each other. Read Turning up the Tempo to find out!
Turn Up the Tempo is book four in the Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star series by Charli B. Rose.
I am always eager to sink into a good rock star story, and this one was no disappointment. These once bitten twice shy lovers are hesitant, but they cannot resist the intense pull of attraction. They lead the reader on an emotional ride full of anxiety, jealousy, passion, and a few secrets. It was funny at times. It was incredibly deep at times. It was dramatic and decadent all the time. It was certainly entertaining to read this story and get to know the complexities of each character and how they intertwined in each other’s lives. A top quality read that was a pleasurable experience. 4 stars.
