The al I received this book to read and give an honest review through the New Adult Book Club, so thank you to both them and K. The alternating points of view continued throughout, which allowed us an intimate visage into our main characters' heads throughout, something that gave us a bit of an explanation of the 'whys' of the behavior of those certain characters Allen's writing flows like I imagine the music would for Lyric and Wolf, if they were composing in real life I enjoyed the edgier components in this book, even more than the first.
Allen for the courtesy copy of Destined Hearts in exchange for this review. Jul 30, Jenny - TotallybookedBlog rated it really liked it. Whilst the relationship between Lyric and Wolf was anything but a slow build, we no less believed the magnitude of the attraction and chemistry between these two passionate characters. What you do with words? The force and sensation, the excitement as the band took to the stage made us feel as though we were there. Both Lyric and Wolf are products of the music industry, destined to be part of the scene thanks to their parents.
Lyrics father is a well-respected rocker, her mother…. Lyric behind the scenes, and Wolf Chapman, as the driving force and front man of Wolf, the band. Both Lyric and Wolf carry self regrets from their pasts, harbouring a lot of pain which is reflected in how each live their lives, finding it hard to trust and let down those walls.
All I know is that it fucking hurts. The romance was swoony and it was certainly hot, though at times we felt the sex overshadowed the emotional relationship between Lyric and Wolf, but then again, the physical release became a much needed escape and connection for them both. We probably would have preferred a little less dramatics, but overall the sexy, swoony and emotional elements we enjoyed far outweighed the odd annoyances. After we read Dangerous Hearts, she showed us her edgier style and had us swooning over a rock star hero. We loved reading Wolf and Lyric's story and couldn't wait for their conclusion.
My music may have been good before, but now, it breathes life. Destined Hearts picked up right where Dangerous Hearts left off. If you haven't read the first book, stop reading this review right now and go pick it up!! Lyric crushed Wolf with her departure, and it hurt her soul to do so. These two have been through the ringer, and outside forces seem to always get in the way.
Between an asshole ex, a douche canoe manager, and a lyric stealing mother, Lyric and Wolf had to navigate through rough waters to find their way back to each other. Both of us were suffering from past regrets and self-imposed rules that kept us safe from each other, from falling, from ending up right where we are now. We knew we'd only leave disaster in our wake. With a fantastic love story and a touch of angst, you'll be on the edge of your seat wondering how the story will conclude.
With many unanswered questions and a world of people looking to rip them apart at every turn, Destine dHearts gives you the conclusion you've been counting down the days to get your hands on!! Aug 01, Anne OK rated it it was amazing Shelves: After the cliffhanger in that last verse, well I could hardly wait for this release -- and KK Allen didn't disappoint.
The Stolen Melody Duet ended on a very high note! This installment was filled with a bit more intensity and troubled waters. But without giving away all the extraordinary components that filled the pages, suffice that all the kinks got worked out -- in a whole lot of different ways! One of the best rocker romances I've had the pleasure of reading -- pure music to my heart! Jul 23, Jessica rated it it was amazing Shelves: I'm not sure I can write a review that could do this book justice!
I was already in love with Lyric and her story, Wolf and his, and their story together from Dangerous Hearts, but this masterpiece took my love to a whole new level. Finding out more about Lyric's past and the secrets she kept and seeing the growth from her and Wolf individually gave this duet so much more depth. The character development is nothing short of amazing, I literally fell in love with the every character in this book I'm not sure I can write a review that could do this book justice! The character development is nothing short of amazing, I literally fell in love with the every character in this book and would love to see more of them in the future.
Although, if that isn't an option I am so happy with how this story ended. On a scale of 1 to 10 the steam factor was a 12 and the intimate scenes were written so well that I was physically squirming in the best way possible. To sum up this book It has been the best I've read all year and is now a new favorite! It has just the right amount of everything you could hope for in a book and K.
Allen, in my opinion, made perfection. After that shocking cliffhanger at the end of Dangerous Hearts I have been on the edge of my seat in anticipation for the conclusion. The moment this book hit my kindle I wanted to drop everything and immediately dive into it because I needed to see how Lyric and Wolf's story ends. Unfortunately, I had a few things to take care of before I could, but that only made me appreciated their story more. I knew that these two needed their happily ever after and that is exactly what the beautifully talented author KK Allen has delivered.
There were so many jaw dropping moments throughout this entire story and I do mean jaw dropping. Seriously every time I thought I had it all figured out something unexpected would happen. The suspense was perfect and leaped right off the pages. These moments helped to bring Lyric and Wolf closer then ever and to form a bond that couldn't be broken.
Once again I was on the edge of my seat and my heart beat even faster for these two! This was the perfect story and the ideal ending that gave readers everything they wanted! Even better than the first half!!! I really loved Dangerous Hearts, the first book half of this duet, and I loved this one even more! Destined Hearts is more intense and there were some twists I didn't see coming. Once again, I adore Lyric and Wolf. Their story is one of the best I've read.
Also, there is no cliffhanger! I didn't mind the cliffhanger at the end of part one, but know some people hate being left hanging. So, no worries with this one! If you loved part one, then you'll love this on Even better than the first half!!! If you loved part one, then you'll love this one too! I'm going to have such a big book hangover from this duet.

The love between Wolf and Lyric bled through the pages, even when they were at odds. You know there was no way those two weren't going to work it out. I was surprised by the amount of suspense and "OMG" moments, but they were perfect, and just what this book needed.
The ending left me feeling warm and fuzzy. Wolf and Lyric's story is one that's going t Dangerous Hearts is my top read and after that cliffhanger I was desperate to get my hands on this book. Wolf and Lyric's story is one that's going to stay with me forever. If you haven't picked up book one yet DO IT. Everyone needs to fall in love with these books.

This book also has so many interesting background character that make you really want to see have their own book. Maybe we will see a future book with a certain someone. This book has a little bit of something for everyone. Jul 07, Ashleigh Wilson rated it it was amazing. I loved Dangerous Hearts Book 1 but even that doesn't hold a candle to my insane love for Destined Hearts!! I want to scream it from the rooftop of The Aragon, I. K manages to continuously weave such intricate storylines is beyond me, but I hope she never stops!
The combined books are about stolen lyrics in so many ways, but the different elements of love are the icing on the cake. The love Lyric and Wolf both allow themselves to gi oh. The love Lyric and Wolf both allow themselves to give and receive. The love Lyric realizes she's worthy of. The love between father and daughter. I also especially loved the dark elements. It was edge of your seat drama that kept me turning the pages as quickly as I could. I seriously didn't want this book to end and I sincerely hope that she carries on with the world of Wolf, Lyric, Mitch and all the other guys!
Jul 28, Christine rated it it was amazing. I was not expecting what happened to happen. Emotions were all over the place The Stolen Melody Duet is hands down one of the best rockstar romances I've read. Lyric and Wolf are simply amazing - loved watching their love story unfold.

So far this author has yet to disappoint me. In this, the conclusion to the duet that started with Dangerous Hearts we pick up exactly where we left off. Lyric has left the tour after all the drama, and publicity with her Ex. We watch as she returns to the tour and Wolf and Lyric try to learn to trust one another.
I enjoyed this even more than the first story, it was angstier, we got to see Lyric's back story, and the reason for her strained relationships with her parents. I really loved the suspense element in this book, it kept things exc In this, the conclusion to the duet that started with Dangerous Hearts we pick up exactly where we left off. I really loved the suspense element in this book, it kept things exciting and pacy at the end. Jul 26, Cyndi Becker rated it it was amazing Shelves: Not until she fully trusts me.
Wolf and Lyric captured me from chapter one in Dangerous Hearts and we were left at such a critical moment when Dangerous Hearts ended. Allen did a great service "I might love her more than she loves me. Allen did a great service in picking up pretty much right where it left off and wasted no time letting us back into Wolf and Lyrics heads and hearts. There is a lot of reflecting on both their parts, how and why the fell for each other and reasoning through the fiery crash of circumstances that separated them.
Destined Hearts is very much a story about a young woman working through the childhood disappointments and hurts and finding forgiveness where is was due not that it's always earned nor given. But trying is was the only way she would ever move forward. She has to give up the pain that she holds in, and give over trust.
I thought it was a beautiful story, how she expresses herself on what support she needs from her friends, her family and ultimately Wolf. Wolf is amazing and I fell harder for him then I had before. His response to Lyric, what he see's in her and what he does with that, his response to her displays that elusive unconditional love that will heal Lyric.
I felt my tummy tingling at their possibility, how they give each other reason to hope. What challenges them now comes pretty much from outside influences. There's a bit of a mystery that leads to some incredibly tense moments and made me so very anxious. I found myself incorrectly and sometime correctly guessing where the story was going. More importantly just how the characters would react. I also found myself rather proud of both Lyric and Wolf. What I really love was seeing the growth as individuals and as a couple.
Wolf and Lyric are one of my favorite couples and I find K. Allen to be an exquisite storyteller. Jul 25, Eileen Robinson rated it it was amazing Shelves: The first book left me gasping for more. I most definitely was not disappointed, Yet again this author captured me emotionally and mentally immediately. This couple are just so easy to get totally wrapped up in. Well, i can barely put into words how caught up in this book i was. Both Lyric and Wolf just got deep into my heart, I loved their relationship so much, none of the usual rock star being a douche and a play boy.

Although at times he was a bit of an ass, No cheating and throwing other people in each others faces. I hated some of the sleaze balls around them who wanted to destroy them and my emotions were most definitely at boiling point, only to be melted to a puddle in the next few lines by Wolf and his dedication to Lyric. Yes this author fully engages you in every aspect from their life, and you will devour every single moment of it and not want it to end!! This is most definitely one of the best Rock Star books i have read and will definitely have its place in my top ten!

I always find myself having trouble getting into a followup book, mainly because in most cases the second book is never as good as the first. Allen however, blew me away with this one!

I have wondered about Grant's character from the beginning of this series. It's easy to love the "dark knight" and Grant is no exception. What a joy to read authors who focus on the story and don't feel the need to include smut and bad language. The tales of all the brothers were heartwarming but Grant is special. Thank you Donna for a tale that kept me up waaaay past my bedtime.
I hope there's another family story in your mind. I love this book, this series and those macho Amesbury boys!!!! They just suck you right in and you can't stop reading! This is the last of the brothers -- the next two books will be the sisters. One of the things I was disappointed in was that the other brothers and sisters weren't featured in this very much at all. I like it when they all get together and rescue each other as they did in the other books. Grant has intrigued me since the beginning of the series.
He has been a crusty curmudgeon who allows himself no soft feelings nor does he allow anyone to show him any soft feelings. We finally learn why in this book. Yes, much of it came from the war, but he was already primed for that because of the way his father treated them. Since his return from the war, Grant has become a protector of the innocent by working with Bow Street Runners. In this case, he is requested to investigate a member of parliament who is trying to be the next Prime Minister.
That candidate, of course, has a lovely daughter who is absolutely sure her father is innocent of the crime. Jocelyn is full of optimism and sunshine. She always has a smile and sees only the very best in Grant. She finds all of those dark places in his heart and fills them with her sunshine.
Jocelyn isn't your ordinary empty-headed miss. She's smart, courageous, steady and utterly convinced her father is innocent and she'll help Grant investigate in order to prove it. There are a couple of really interesting characters that have been in the series and I wonder what will become of them. Maybe they'll be the ones that the two sisters end up with. James Ingle has a history of some sort with Rachel, evidently he broke her heart, but it isn't ever really spelled out. Then, there is Connor Jackson and I really like him! He's a Bow Street Runner, but he speaks like an aristocrat, has a signet ring and went to school at Cambridge.
I sure would like to know more about his story.

I'm sad that I now have to wait for the next book - Margaret's - to be released. But, I am so glad I read this series! Wow I have been waiting for Grants story for a long time. It was well worth the wait. Grant has been one of the favorite characters from the beginning. His story is compelling, fraught with danger, and endearing. I love characters with depth and mystery. Grant does not disappoint.
This brooding, handsome and complicated man needed a woman who could love and feel deeply enough to break through his walls and distrust. Jocelyn is a strong, compassionate, and caring woman. She puts her own needs aside and is determined to see her father happy. When she meets Grant Amesbury she knows he has a troubled past but looks past his shield to see the man inside.
