ARC received for an honest review

After reading teasers pop up on Facebook, I was very keen to read Velvet Reed's debut novel, The Rhythm of My Heart, so given the opportunity to join the blog tour, I jumped at the chance.

And I was not disappointed

Rhythm of My Heart gives us a sassy, smart, loving woman in Grace. Giving up her career to help her family was never a hard decision, but she feels she is missing something.

I love Grace and her family. Her brother Charlie, her dad Bryan and of course her niece Ruby. Ruby, in my opinion, is the scene stealer in this book. Who could resist that sweet little girl?

Then there is Cole.... or as I call him

He is just divine! We all need a Dr sexy in our lives I tell ya! After being hurt in his past, he has been careful about giving his heart away, but who could resist Grace. He was just sweet, caring, thoughtful.

There are some great secondary characters too. I love the banter, snarky remarks, heat between Grace's best friend Ash and Cole's best friend Sam. You just know from the second they are in the room together that there is going to be fireworks... whether they are good fireworks or bad fireworks though is the question. Their relationship of sorts is pretty volatile.... and I love it!!

There are some other people though that just UGH... don't get me started on them - especially Miranda!! I still don't know whether I want to bitch slap her or kick her arse!!

All in all Ms Reed has given us a story that drew me in and kept me interested from beginning to end If I has not been told that this was her debut novel, you wouldn't know. She has spent the time in development and editing (which we all know can be lacking in the indie world at times, admit it we have all read some shockers when it comes to editing!!) and it shows.

But then we get an OMG ending, and now have to wait to find out what happens (September 2014 hopefully!!)

I am very much looking forward to reading the next in the Matters Of The Heart series (Saving our Hearts)
