 Runaway Train is back! Oh, and the hot, sexy, drummer AJ Resendiz is the focus of Book 2 - Beat of the Heart. Whew ... a Latin Lover, a cardiac-care nurse, hotel rooms, a set of drums and 2 people that will make your heart go "Boom-Boom" - could you ask for anything more? 
 I was totally psyched when I read that AJ was going to be the 2nd book of this series. I loved Abby and Jake's story in Music of the Heart and was thrilled that Ms. Ashley was bringing the whole gang back together again. So many unfinished stories and HEA's to explore. AJ and Mia didn't disappoint and Katie Ashley definitely amped up the hot in this book. 
 AJ loves his drums, loves his family and just may be getting tired of the groupies, the one-night stands. He thought he may have found the right girl in Kylie but a trip to the ER and a visit with their head roadie in the hospital had him rethinking everything. One look at Mia and he was a goner. Now, to convince her that he could be a one-woman man, even on the road. 
 Mia had her heart broken and her self-esteem stripped by her cheating ex-fiancee. The last thing she needs is a guy like AJ Resendiz stringing her along. Yea, he was hot. No, she never hear of Runaway train. Yea, she's been out of the dating game for a while. No, she's not jumping back into the game with a guy that could have any girl he wanted in any city. Enter Dee, her best friend and confidant. The man that was there to pick up the pieces after she found Dev in bed with her best friend. After some long talks and lots of tears, Dee finally convinces her to give AJ a chance. A date isn't going to hurt and she doesn't have to give him her heart. 
 I could not put this book down. There was so much going on, so much unfinished story-lines from Music of the Heart that I just couldn't wait to get through Beat of the Heart to see what would and would not get resolved and where AJ and Mia were going. Pleasant surprises and one hysterical gay guy named Dee had me anticipating turning the next page to see who would screw up and who would come out with an HEA. Then, Ms. Ashley goes and throws Luke Bryan into the mix ... yep, we could live with that! So do yourself a favor and pick up both Music of the Heart and Beat of the Heart. I don't know what she has in store for us next but I can't wait to find out!
