Do you hear it? The beating of hearts falling in love to the sounds of Rough Rhythm. In true Tessa Bailey fashion, she has once again capture our hearts as she composes a love’s melody that is unlike no other.
“While he still had major reservations about dragging her into the dark fog inhabiting his brain, spending time with her was an aphrodisiac. He craved having her close. Watching her expressions change. Listening to her unique logic.”In this fast paced novella, Ms. Bailey has strung her readers along on a love story where the past and present collide. It is a collision unlike no other filled with angst, drama, love, passion, understanding, and solace. The love story of James and Lita may be considered rough around the edges but their love for one another burns bright. Four years ago, James and Lita met and had a one night stand that altered the course of their relationship. That one night together changed them. It linked them. It made them who they are. It was darkness and lightness. It was desire and passion. And it was also regret. So how can one night mean so much and yet kept them apart?
James knew he crossed the line when he took Lita. It was a line blurred by passion, desire, regret and anger. Being 12 years her senior, James wanted Lita. He wanted her for himself. She belonged to him and was linked to him in more ways than one. His heart yearned for her but he kept her at a distance until Lita made him see that he did not corrupt her because she wanted everything that James gave her. She yearned for his touch, his desire, and his love. Will James be able to see that they were meant for each other? She was the light to his darkness. The other piece to his heart and soul. And the rhythm to his heart.
“I live for you. You’re not just in my thoughts, you are my thoughts. Every single one. And somehow, I lived for you all wrong. I should have been living with you. Not only for.”Rough Rhythm definitely did explore a more edgier and darker romance than I am used to reading from Tessa Bailey. It is not your hearts and flowers type of unrequited love but it is indeed a LOVE STORY that is burning with passion, desire, and heat. So if you are looking for a story that weaves flawed characters, raw emotions and unbridled passion then I would definitely suggest you to read Rough Rhythm.
