Book : The Beat Match
Author: Kelly Siskind
Rating: 5/5⭐️

Another five star read! I think I was wise enough to request the perfect books, I mean reading five star worthy books consecutively helped me to relieve stress.Swipe right to see the blurb.

•Wes and Annie’s relationship was so sensual and sweet. The banter between them was extremely sassy. The storyline had the perfect balance between cheesy romance and tear inducing emotions. The multidimensional characters were ideal and ohhhhhhh! Wes in crisp Italian Suits definitely instigated me to imagine a fine well dressed man ( like Tom Ellis aka Lucifer and Gabriel Macht aka Harvey Specter). I was completely smitten.

•Favourite quotes:
“He was so textbook the textbooks were jealous of him”

“She walked past an abstract painting that oozed wealth, the grotesquely simple kind with the white line drawn on a black canvas,as though saying:we’re so powerful we pay millions for the mundane”

This book is the third book in the SHOWMEN series. You can also try this book as a stand alone. I’m definitely gonna read the companions of this book - New Orleans Rush and Don’t Go Stealing My Heart.

This book will be published on 16th September,2020. I’m super excited after reading the ARC and I guess I sound hyperbolic. But I SWEAR, if you love reading CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE,SECRET IDENTITY then what’re you waiting for? Add this to your September tbr list!

Siskind creates perfect harmony with this one!
This was my first Kelly Siskind book, and it certainly won't be my last. From the first chapter, I knew I was hooked - and had the book finished in two days. Her clever writing, witty characters, endearing backstories made Annie and Wes easy to love and root for. I absolutely devoured this book.

Wes and Annie are from two different sides of town, literally. While he grew up in tailored suits, Annie was in and out of homeless shelters with her brother, Leo, who was befriended by Wes at a young age. With Leo's untimely death, he left Wes with a request: take care of Annie because she had no one. But his big brother role takes a twist one night when he sees Annie with new eyes. Now, as their relationship evolves, they have to trust each other enough to reveal secrets about the present and the past.

I seriously loved this book. The characters were developed and multifaceted. The descriptions of the club scenes had my blood pumping; I really felt like I was there, with Annie, experiencing the music through her. The connection between the two was a good, slow burn. The writing kept giving the reader glimpses into each character's thoughts which made the build up even better. Overall, Siskind's writing created a perfect rhythm for a romance; the beat is certainly matched in this book!

I have greatly enjoyed Kelly Siskind's other books in this series.

I ADORED this one. I don't know why, exactly, though I love music nearly as much as I love reading, so perhaps they just reached a perfect blend some how, but this book just worked for me like nothing else I have read recently. The secondary characters were sublime. The backstory perfectly balanced. The main characters played off each other magically. It has to have been one of the best books I have read this year and everything about it just felt amazing.

Two DJs. One beat. An off-limits romance neither of them expected.
Weston Aldrich is known for his devastating looks and crisp Italian suits. He's been groomed to take over his family business and is on the brink of closing a massive merger. Only two wild cards can derail him.
Wild Card One: If anyone learns he moonlights as a masked DJ, his credibility will be toast.
Wild Card Two: Annie can't-hold-a-job Ward.
The Annie Ward he promised to help raise after her brother died. The scatterbrained girl who makes it her mission in life to drive him crazy. The gorgeous woman he's not supposed to fantasize about, let alone kiss.
An easy read, corny romantic novel, great for sunny beach days or wet Sunday afternoons.
I want to thank NetGalley and Kelly Siskind for a pre-publication copy to review.

Hell yeah! Sweet, entertaining, slow burn romance with lots of tragic events, deep family issues and eventually the healing power of music that brings the true lovers together!

I love the author’s works. This series started with beautiful, magical New Orleans story and continued with a dazzling, clever woman thief’s alluring love story and finally at the third book: we’re introduced to aspiring music lovers and their rhythmic, energetic, powerful world!

What a beautiful friends to lovers story! Wes is real sweet pie, ideal book boyfriend, protective, kind, smart and absolutely charming! And definitely quirky, clever, sassy, straightforward, bold Annie was not ideal but still likable kind of heroine!

Annie already lost her mother because of drug overdose and after her brother died, she felt lost, all alone, depressed. Thankfully her brother’s best friend Wes is always there for you when she needs a shoulder to cry on but his overprotectiveness is so irritating and suffocating.

Wes also deals with his own demons, as his family pushes pressure on him to take over their family business which is on the brink of a closing grandiose merger. Even though he kills it when he wears those Italian suits, his undeniable charisma is definitely pant melting strength that the women around her cannot resist, at the end of the day he turns into something different( nope, not a werewolf of vampire, this is not Charlaine Harris book!) he also doesn’t wear a suit with bat logo or changing his daily clothes in a phone booth (pay attention! This story does not take place in DC universe!), he just wears a mask without green hoodie( he’s charismatic and handsome but he’s not also Oliver Queen) and he turns into a DJ and guess what Annie who cannot work at a proper job, finds her passion at music and as soon as she learns Wes’ secret, their common interest to become a DJ and realize the dream of Annie’s death brother who was also passionate about music, help them form a deep friendship bound.

And they realize they start to fall hard for each other. But Wes gave his word to Annie’s brother before he died. He will always take care of her and he keeps this as secret which can also destroy everything about their blooming relationship.

Overall: I enjoyed this book more than the other two books of the series. Especially hero stole my heart. Oh Wes, you’re definition of lovable book boyfriend! Emotions are everywhere. It’s poetic, lyrical tear jerker, unique love story that I highly recommend!

Special thanks to NetGalley for sharing this enjoyable ARC with me in exchange my honest opinions and extra thanks to Kelly Siskind for writing this sweet, sassy, feel-good story.

Yes, just yes. This book has it all - it’s sweet, sassy, sexy and steamy! All the things that I enjoy in a great romcom. Like the first two Showmen books in the series, this one also delivers with great banter and quirkiness (although slightly toned down than the other two).

Annie and Wes will not only become your favorite (fictional) DJs, but also one of your favorite (fictional) couples!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love Kelly Siskind's writing style, and this book was no exception. Sweet, often hilarious, and ended with a satisfying romance.

Sweet and a bit cheesy. The information on DJing was interesting. I thought there was going to be more of a focus on Wes' fake relationship but surprisingly it really wasn't a big part of the plot.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It says: " Two DJs. One beat. An off-limits romance neither of them expected."

No,not really. There aren't two DJ, just one. And one wanna be.
Off limits romance neither of them expected.
Again, no, not really... For years they been in love with one another.

From this you can see that I am not really a fan of this book. You are a okbsolutely right.
How can I be a fan, when I hate main characters.
I really do.
Annie, what to say about her... She jumps from job to job, she is almost 30, and she doesn't know what to do with her life... Ok, I know that people don't always have all their shit together by they are 30, but she is a winner.
One day, she wants to play a piano because she used to play, but she doesn't want just to play it, she wants to teach it. Altough she hadn't touch a piano for 15 years, and she played it for couple of years (two) when she was a kid. Yes, right.
Then she sees Falcon on the stage, and thinks Yes I want to be a DJ. And he is the best, he will teach me!
Yes, right.
Wes Is like every other main guy character broody and successful.
Don't let me start on a bunny!!!
Yes, I really didn't enjoy this. I couldn't feel their love and romance.all that wasn't there...sadly.
This isn't even 3 stars read. Such a snooze fest!!!

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an emotional, sweet, comical romance with a fiery heroine determined to make her mark on the world and an upright millionaire seeking escape and penance from a painful past. There were sweet moments between Annie and Wes as they become best friends and their friendship births romance despite their attempts to squash it. I'm glad Wes took a chance at love and released his demons. He's a better person for it
