Love with Every Beat: Second Chance Rockstar Romance (Alfie Black's POV on the Everything Trilogy) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 132 ratings
All women are beautiful... Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. But sometimes there’s one that really hits the spot and steals your breath without them even knowing you exist. Lily Parnell was that woman for me. Women came easy to me…and for me, for that matter. But Lily was—different. The first time I saw her I didn’t just want her, I craved her… and once we had met, I knew she felt the same.The heated chemistry, s*xual tension, and our burning desire for one another fanned the flames of passion between us.It was never supposed to be a hearts and flowers romance we agreed that at the start. Until one day Lily decided what I had to give her wasn't enough, a girl like her deserved everything.Love with Every Beat is the rockstar, Alfie Black's, story. It's his words, his angsty rockstar romance, and his account of the Everything Trilogy. This five hundred page novel will give you a totally different point of view on the fierce love affair between Alfie and Lily."A complicated and beautifully written story. The characters live, breathe and tear out each other's heart on the pages until true love finds its rightful course and the reader is completely lost in the magnificent journey of Alfie and Lily. I loved, loved, loved this book." - ReviewerI want to forget I read this book so I can read it for the first time again!! The Cozy Reader blogNew Adult, Romance, Romantic suspense. 205k Alfie Black's POV from the Everything Trilogy in one complete book.

"A square peg in a round hole..." Screamed out at me... It summed Alfie up perfectly, & in a way K.L.Shandwick's books too... There is so much beyond the surface! Angela Wallace (Amazon Kindle Customer)5.0 out of 5 starsI want to forget I have read this book so I can read it for the first time again! Her ability to recreate a male POV is flawless, I'm used to a change in POVs being for a chapter or just one book but KL has managed to tell Alfie's perspective over the three books without sounding repetitive.(A Cosy Reader)K.L. Shandwick is very talented at describing scenes, feelings and actions. The steamy romance had me blushing and squirming more often than not and with every broken-hearted scene, I was right there with Alfie. Not many authors can accomplish that.

But not with KL 's books all the characters are a part of the story . The relationships make the book seem more real and adds to the sexual chemistry to the couple also.

    This book has a fiery intensity right from the start. The lead character Alfie starts out as a rock god in the making. He's well on his way. He has the looks, the body, the swagger and the voice. He's an accomplished musician. He always has something up his sleeve. But then he sees her. Lilly.
    She's sweet, optimistic, drop dead gorgeous, and has mad skills as a singer/songwriter and guitarist. The attraction is instant. He sets his sites on her. He always gets whatever girl he fancies...end of story. His life is about to change on all levels!
    He thinks he's ready to have his life shift into high gear. Life has other plans for him.
    Love is going to take a piece of Alfie. The only way he'll retrieve it is to love her or leave her. He's angry! He wants the bachelor's life...Hit it, quit it, forget it. That's not an option anymore. And therein lies the story.
    If you're on the fence about this book then don't be. This is a wonderful story. The characters are well fleshed out. This book made me laugh, curse, shout, and cry. The way the characters express their emotions is very real. I was right there with them all the way. There are twists, turns and surprises throughout.
    My guarantee: Alfie will be your new BBF!! Get ready for HAWT!!

    We get to see what Alfie went through when he met Lily and dealing with why he couldn’t have a relationship with her, how he felt when she left and when they get back together. You see Alfie’s feelings, when he pushes Lily to talk to him and how much he wants the relationship to work.
    When Alfie first sees Lily, he is transfixed unlike ever before. Feeling conflicted as he knew he had Kara and Poppy to look after he decides to follow her. When she sits down while he is playing he knows he can’t resist looking up to see her. Deciding to see how far he can push Lily her offers her a Friend’s with benefits offer.
    We learn about how Alfie battles with himself in the beginning with wanting Lily and his responsibilities to Kara and Poppy, and how he feels about escorting, being a mentor at the college and the effect it has on Lily.
    Although Alfie is conflicted with telling Lily everything he realises that if he doesn’t he will lose her forever, and he realises that isn’t something he is prepared to find out what it feels like.
    Best read with The Everything Trilogy.

    “Charlie, do you know infinity and beyond? That’s where my love for Lily stretches. Nothing compares, nothing will ever compare to Lily. Everything IS Lily. I know that word doesn’t sound like much, and it’s not very descriptive. But believe me, when Lily is in the room, and I look at her, my heart only beats for her.”

    Love With Every Beat is a story of a man who loved in silence and made many mistakes but with time he proved himself to be worthy and rose to win Lily Parnell’s heart. I don’t want to write too many details of the story in fear of giving it away. But the above quote says it all.

    Every page I read, every word I absorbed was riveting as the next. I read the Everything Trilogy so I was familiarized with all the characters and many of the scenes depicted in Love With Every Beat. What K.L. Shandwick achieved was beyond extraordinary. Condensing three books into one volume, encompassing many of the scenes I was acquainted with in the original trilogy and adding Alfie Black’s back story was quite the feat. The author elevated her writing style to another dimension. This evolution is noticeably seen book after book. As an avid reader, this brings me so much joy because you can tell the author has grown artistically and well on her way to becoming the owner of her craft.

    K.L. Shandwick is very talented at describing scenes, feelings and actions. The steamy romance had me blushing and squirming more often than not and with every broken-hearted scene, I was right there with Alfie. Not many authors can accomplish that.

    Alfie Black is one hot book boyfriend. Yes, I am a fan of the author. Yes, I absolutely love this story of star crossed lovers who finally get their happily ever after. But more importantly, I love this book because it showed me a side of Alfie Black I never knew was possible.

    I pray K.L. Shandwick continues writing riveting stories such as this one. I will gladly buy and read more of her books.

    The opposite of death is desire...and that's Alfie Black. A man tortured by his past, submerged in loss, filled with drive and longing, lost in responsibility and captive of true love and burning desire for Lily. These star crossed lovers take you on a journey filled with hungry and loss, anxiousness, anger and joy. A complicated and beautifully written story. The characters live, breathe and tear out each others heart on the pages until true love finds its rightful course and the reader is completely lost in the magnificent journey of Alfie and Lily. I loved, loved, loved this book. I loved it so much, I have to go back and start at the beginning and read the other three books. I so want to know what goes on in Lily's head.

    A magnificent novel by a new rising talent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves love.

    Oh my, I've been reading everything that is Lily and Alfie for a good week, of course it all started with the (Everything Trilogy) what can I say.. It's been fantastic.!
    Talk about an emotional journey for the both of them it's been touch and go all the way through.
    Even though we knew their story, reading Alfie's POV was well worth it and at some 596 pages it was a big one too as it covers the 3 books from the trilogy.
    There were quite a few things that Alfie did previously that left us wondering, walking away and leaving Lily at least twice, not talking to her and all right after confessing his undying love for her and telling her he didn't want to live without her so yes it was a little frustrating to say the least, but then again Lily had her moments too, their relationship was pretty toxic.
    So we finally got into Alfie's mind and it all made sense, everything that had happened to him after loosing his parents then his best friend Gary had a massive impact on his life and the way he lived it, that in it's self was very sad and then the whole situation between him and Lily not being able to have a normal open relationship because of personnel circumstances was something else, it made for a very emotional and tense story.
    Despite all the misunderstands and everything that came between them their love for each other never faltered and to think they were apart for almost 2 years at one point, it was a real shame but all meant to be I think, it all paid off in the end but not before a lot of heartache I have to say.
    All the characters throughout the whole story are bought to life incredibly well and there is never a dull moment, there is so much going on, either between Lily and Alfie or someone else but it all led back to them.
    Jack stole the show numerous times but I thought Cody played a big part at times too, maybe there's a book for him, he needs to find his Lily..!!
    Anyway it was all fantastic, very emotional towards the end but beautiful all the same, I'm now going to read Just Jack OMG when is it all going to end..I don't want it to.!
    Thank you for these great stories, keep it coming.!

    have just finish this male POV and WOW!. I read The Everything Trilogy last year and truly loved the story of Alfie and Lily. Heart strings were definitely broken but to hear Alfie tell his side of the story nearly broke my heart reading. I have to be honest and when reading the trilogy I swayed towards wanting to protect Lily, but after reading Alfie's side of the story I can now see that not all is black and white as it seemed. Alfie has a strong personality, very musically motivated with a heart of gold. He is the type of man we all dream of and Lily has him, she literally owns his heart. He feels no love can feel like this with anyone else, he will never be over her, never stop loving her, missing her, wanting to hold her. Having read The Everything Trilogy I already know Lily's side so when events take place I can now picture both sides. It's a loving story that will bring a lump to your throat and fall in love with Alfie that little bit more. Yes, Alfie is a hot, god like rockstar but more than that he is a man who loves with everything he has, he hasn't had the easiest of life and always looks after the people around him. He is deserving of happiness and to him Lily is that happiness. But also I found myself laughing, it's filled with humour, I mean really how could it not, Alfie's band Cratz Soundzz on a bus touring, imagine the things they come up with. This story has some great characters , I loved hearing more about Jack as him and Alfie become close. I hope all the guys find their forever. I can't believe I waited so long to read this but happy I eventually did. If you loved The Everything Trilogy, you will definitely love taking this journey with Alfie. If you have not read the Trilogy I would suggest you do read before reading 'Love With Every Beat' I think you would connect more by doing this. Either way Alfie Black is A ROCK GOD and I love him

    LWEB....Love with every beat
    I was a little hesitant but also excited to read Alfie's point of view, sometimes they just don't work - not so in this case :)
    Delving into the thoughts behind each action, each decision was unbelievably incredible. Although there was a lot missing from the books in the everything trilogy... KL Shandwick managed to brilliantly combine parts of the whole Alfie and Lily story.
    I was amazed at how wrong I was about Alfie. I dont agree with why he did the things he did or what he did, but I understand perfectly. I had my doubts of Alfie's love for Lily and truthfully there were times I hated him. There are no doubts now.
    LWEB is a great accompanyment to the everything trilogy. It's not a required read BUT I really, really, really encourage you to read this.....
    The insight into Alfie's mind is telling, provocative and thoughtful. It can be read as a stand alone book though much better if read after you've read the everything trilogy.
    Yes it does go over stuff you read in the trilogy but that's necessary.... It's Alfie's point of view, from the beginning to the end after all !!!
    I'm glad I read this and it's a MUST read for anyone who enjoyed the everything trilogy

    I absolutely loved reading The Everything Trilogy which is Lily’s story, and Love with Every Beat tells us that same story but through Alfie’s perspective. It is a lengthy narrative as it is the equivalent of three books reduced into one, but I do believe that the author chose the best scenes from the trilogy in order for the reader to understand their journey. I absolutely loved learning Alfie’s thoughts and feelings during his time with Lily and especially of those times when they were apart. I’ve never doubted his love for Lily, and reading how certain periods and events in their lives affected him was very emotional. Dare I say that now I have finished his story it has made me love him even more!

    With hindsight I wish I hadn’t read Love with Every Beat straight after finishing the trilogy. As you may surmise, I was eager to learn more about the man that has stolen my heart so jumped straight in. However, the author has penned this story perfectly to be read as a standalone, so much of the narrative is a repeat of the scenes from Lily’s story (but told via Alfie’s POV). For me, the trilogy is too fresh in my thoughts for me to have forgotten details of the storyline, therefore it does feel repeated - and I am not a fan of repeats.

    I have no regrets learning about Alfie’s life and what he has been through since meeting Lily. Their story is one that must not be missed. It highlights the need for trust and communication in a relationship. The narrative is full of emotional highs and lows, and there are many twists and turns along this journey too. I am delighted to have witnessed and learned more about Alfie than what Lily was able to share with us.

    4 stars.

    After reading The Everything Trilogy by KL Shandwick it was an obvious choice to pick up Love With Every Beat which shows us Alfie and Lily's story from his POV.
    First off I absolutely LOVE Alfie Black although when I was reading The Everything Trilogy my feelings kept changing towards him I liked him one minute and hated him the next but this is why reading this book is a must! You get to understand why he is the way he is and why he does the things he does, just when I thought I couldn't love his character any more than I already did, I read this book and I love him so much more and I didn't think that could be possible!
    Although LWEB is Alfie's POV from the Everything Trilogy I didn't feel like I was reading the same book again, it reads like a whole new book, like I was discovering Alfie and Lily's journey for the very first time and although there are scenes that I remember from The Everything Trilogy, it's great to read what Alfie was thinking and feeling in the particular moment as well.
    Thank you KL Shandwick for producing such an excellent story and I'm truly sad to say goodbye to Alfie, you introduced me to my first ever Rock God and he'll always hold a special place in my heart.
