Madison Tierney’s a writer, whose husband, Thomas suddenly left her after 10 years; she is destroyed and now recently alone and divorced. She picks herself up slowly trying to restore her lost confidence and ability to love again. She follows her writing passion and ventures to follow a local band - Rolling Isaac’s and write about them, raw and real and how they follow their dreams. Her book is titled ROCK NOTES.
Her ex-husband wants to come back, and she is torn with what she had for ten years with him which was safe, comforting and a committed relationship. And now she is falling hard for the band singer - Max Rand (Madison calls him Rand), who is several years younger than her and every moment with him is intense and unpredictable.
Rand has tragically lost love in his life. He has no love left to give. He fills his time with many groupies and late nights. The story travels you to various concert venues, from a sexy piercing party to a New Years rocking eve. There are many interruptions and assumptions for this couple along their journey.
While Madison is writing ROCK NOTES, somewhere along the way she begins to write LOVE NOTES, which are personal secret love letters for Rand. Also Rand is always writing music with the hope of creating his first solo album. Both Madison and Rand appear to be able to write their feelings on paper effortlessly but have a hard time conveying them to one another. This story is about being so broken inside from having your heart ripped apart, to attempting to rebuild trust, follow your dreams and hopefully find love.
Will she return to the warm awaiting arms of her ex-husband who still is in love with her? Or will there be a new beginning for Madison and Rand? Can these two empty souls feel love again? Or will what ignites between them simply fade away after the concert lights dim?

Renee has a well written, hot, and believable romance that grips your heart and does not let go! I am a definite follower of all she writes now, because this was her first book and it is a stellar read!!! I cried to the point I couldn't breathe through my nose because certain parts are so hard to read because of the emotion you know the characters are going through!!! YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!! I am Team Renee all the way and would read the ingredients on a cereal box if she wrote them!!!
Gosh I don't know how I got though that, but I made a promise that I will always finish what I start. If you are similar, a word of caution, do NOT start it! The storyline is not believable at all.
An interesting note is that when I first saw this all three books in the series they each had over 1000 reviews and ratings and now had only a small portion of that. Seeing how those ratings were removed I have to believe that over 800 GR users had their accounts inactivated. Wow that is odd, with all of those inactive users all rating the three books in the series.
As a person who like patterns I also did notice at that the most of the remaining GR users that read the three books in the series seem to have very similar characteristics. For example they rate all three books within minutes of one another ... wow they read fast. Usually very shortly after the account is created and also vote on all three books on some lists. Oh yeah and they throw in the ratings of some other books at the same time.
I don't read many rockstar books now days because I felt that they are being over done but this one had been on my kindle for over a year so figured why not.
I like how Madison didn't give up when her husband left her. She was still spunky deep down, and I loved her perseverance.
Max Rand is your typical rock god. Young, hot, talented.... everything a women could want. Him being mysterious really drew me into his character.
I liked the plot, and the direction the author took. With out going into to many details I'll say that I was able to feel the emotions that the author was trying to invoke in readers.
Overall, I will read the next book, because I like the characters even when I hated them because of their actions. This was my first book by this author, and the slow burn aspect of the romance really drew me in. I can't wait to read more. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Rock Notes was an enjoyable read with all the rockstar band tidbits you would expect. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and look forward to having time to read more from Renee Lee Fisher!
I can not believe this had an average of 4.89 stars.....The first thing that stuck out in this book is the utter lack of the author being able to write in proper grammar. I found the word 'Now' instead of 'Know', i found so many structural errors that it became very difficult to get through some paragraphs. How can an author put out a work and represent themselves as a writer when they can not write in proper English (I felt i was reviewing how my middle schooler writes)? It was reprehensible and inexcusable. I kept reading, however, because sometimes an author, while unable to write extremely well can put together a story that is incredible. This author did NOT do that. I felt as though we were not following adult characters who enter 'real life' circumstances with realistic outcomes. Yes, books are fantasies, but this book, while having a premise that seemed plausible, worked with unrealistic reactions, conversations, motivations and sexual contact. I would never recommend this book, and now i sort of feel fooled by the unusual high ratings, and the categorization in one of the lists as 2014 must reads.....is there integrity in that list? I now have to question that. I hope i read an ARC by accident and that someone, anyone, corrected the blatant issues (there had to be 1 to 2 errors on EVERY page!). I would say if you start this book, and by page 10 it bugs you regarding the mistakes, that you should stop, because it gets worse and more annoying the further you go. If you are looking for how an adult would react to sexual tension/romance/divorce, you won't get that here. If you are looking to get lost in a romantic novel that lets you drift into one of the characters as though that could be you, forget it. I am sorry for the strong reaction - as least that is a positive (any reaction, positive or negative might be viewed as good)....because there isn't much in this book that is, positive, that is.
I recently discovered this author. I grabbed this book as my first read from her and I loved this book!!!
First character that you are introduced from this book is Madison or Maddy. I knew from the first page of this book that this book was going to be a lot of ups and downs for this character. I really enjoyed reading about her character and felt really connected to her. Just knowing what she had been through and how she picked up the pieces per say and moved on with her life. She definitely had people in her life that helped her move on.
Maddy has a chance of a lifetime to go on tour with a band and write a book about them. How awesome is that? A world of unknown. And experience of a lifetime for sure. With the help of her friend she is able to pack and go along for the ride! Little does she know what's in store for her.
I really loved the characters of the band as well. Of course Rand was my favorite - I enjoyed reading about him and how he was so mysterious. He seemed so laid back and easy to talk to. Maddy and Rand had some kind of unexplained connection. And, you'll just have to read their story to find out what happens. Once I started his book I truly hoped they would get a HEA! But you'll have to read the book to find out where their story ends.
The other characters of the band were great to read about as well - I only hope they get their own books as well!!
This story has a lot of real life situations that happen for these characters. That's what truly drew me into their story. Can't wait to read the rest of the story!
I started reading this book from a box set I purchased called Live: Rockers Romance Anthology, 7 Amazing books about Rockets by 7 Amazing Authors.
This particular book I was hooked on from the beginning ( needless to say I had to purchase the other 2 books in the series) the story starts with Madison, a broken woman trying to put her life back together after finding out that her husband of 10 years had been cheating on her she thought their marriage was rock solid so she is totally devastated and has a long road ahead to move on and heal and she's trying.
Max Rand (known as Rand) one Super HOT Rocker, is the lead singer of the band Rolling Isaacs, Rand has his own demons in his past that he is dealing with and his too is a long road to completely heal, he's one very dominant sexual Hottie, combine Rand and Madison together and you get one very exciting, explosive read.
The one thing about this book that made me Mad was the relationship between Madison and her Ex husband it seemed they would quite often meet about various things and of course the ex wanted Madison back, if I were Madison I would have slapped his face several times and kicked him where I know it would bloody Hurt, he's is a sneaky little man trying to make his way back in.
Anyway I totally loved this it was an unputdownable read and I would definitely recommend this series, especially to you Rocker Fans.
I gave this love story a sexually frustrating, yet amazing 5 full blown stars! This was a well written love story between a newly divorced writer and a grieving lead singer. You can feel the instant connection(and sexual tension/frustration) with the characters and clearly visualize this story playing out in your head while you read. If you are looking for steamy sex? No this is not for you. But, if you are looking for a romantic love story? YES YES YES! THIS IS FOR YOU!!! I was hoping for a few hot steamy sex scenes, but this only made you want more of their budding chemistry together. There were a few parts in the story where I said out loud, "WTF is wrong with you Madison!" LOL. I was so frustrated with some of her naïve decisions! I wished she would have told her ex-husband off and really gave it to him! Anyway, I would completely recommend this book to any and all of my friends and readers of romance. Don't pass this one by! It is a series book, but the series is complete and I am diving into Love Notes now!
I am not sure how this book, and the whole series for that matter, received such high ratings - 4,90 - on Goodreads. Come on! Let's be serious. Even the Game of Thrones doesn't have such a high rating and, believe me, there is a big, huuge, enormous, scandalous difference between the quality of the two, even without considering the plot line. I could not, for the love of all, concentrate on what happens in this story, but kept thinking "why is the author re-telling, what she should have nicely put in a dialogue." I am usually reading a book to immerse myself in the story and to live a few new lives. What I got was my grandma's retelling of what could have been a great book. I did not feel or live a single sentence. Well...this book is a big gathering of sentences. No, No, NO!
The author had reached out to me to read her series a couple of months ago and I just finished the 1st book. I love rocker romances since Kellan Kyle. What this book intrigued on was when I found out the leading female character was 8 yrs older than the leading male character. Madison Tierney, Maddey, was happily married to Thomas of 10 yrs till he decided he needed a break. Maddey went on her own to follow her dream to be a writer. She was asked to tour with Rolling Isaacs and the lead singer Max Rand. Friendship and the lines of love ignite between Rand and Maddey but when things start looking up, her ex decides he made a mistake by leaving her and wants her back. Whom will Maddey choose, the love of her life of 10 yrs who broke her heart or the sexy rock musician who has a secret of his own?
Madison was married to Thomas for ten years she loved him..But he wanted a divorce to date a younger woman.. Madison is heartbroken over this but slowly starts to move on and pick up the pieces of her broken life and heart. she decided to take on her dream of writing so she goes to see a band ..enter hot Rand who sings like a god a panty dropping god..she gets the guts to talk to him about writing about his band..he sets up a interview she goes he likes her she is invited to go in tours with them the chemistry with these tow is so hot and sexually frustrating.. Madison and Rand start to get closer Thomas's love life doesn't work out and he wants Maddy back! I loved this from beginning to end! I recomend to everyone!
Ughhh I have never been so annoyed with a book! Everyone gave it 5 stars and mentioned how much they loved it! But god it was brutal. she would rather tell u what they said and how it happened rather then have u read their conversations! every time Rand talked to her, he used her name Madison this, and that. Every time!! i mean really? the authors writing is old.. and over worked. such high hopes and it ended up being blah blah blah.
Even though I'm not too crazy about insta- love, I didn't mind it in this book. I thought the love story was so cute (Even though some of the characters annoyed me at times ahem Thomas). I will be continuing on with this series to see what happens with Rand, Madison, and the rest of the characters next! (I won this book for free from a Goodreads giveaway.)
I really loved this book!! I fell for Max from the beginning!! I wasn't so keen on Madison because she was so back and forth. But in the end she won me over. This is such a great read about two damaged souls finding love and healing in one another. I simply could not put this book down!! It is beautifully written and kept me glued to my Kindle. Definitely a must read!
This is a sweet and Endearing story. The story line is fantastic ! . I laughed and almost cried like a baby reading it lol . It was so touching !. I can not wait to read the next one in this series . Renee Lee Fisher is an awesome Writer !. I gave it 5-Stars It is a series you must check out!
I loved this book! It grabbed me right from the beginning and I could not put it down! An awesome rockstar romance with plenty of lust, romance and intrigue! I can't wait to read the second book! I highly recommend this!
Rock Notes is the first in the Heartbeat series. The story centers around Madison and Rand. Reading as these two meet and fall in love is interesting. Especially since Maddy's ex tries to win her back. Looking forward to reading book 2.
I Loved this book. I found myself thinking about it, days after I read it. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the Heartbeat Series. I highly recommend this book.
I loved the main character Madison from the start. She was strong and knew what she wanted. Max took some getting used to, but then really grew on me. This was a great book!
Renee Fisher has become one of my top favorite authors of all time from her series..every character is forever etched in my mind and I hope she finds a way to continue the trilogy...awesome books
Didn't like the writing style, and holy, insta-love much? Page 19 and she's writing a love letter after seeing him in concert. Nope, not for me. DNF @ 5%
After recovering from her divorce, which left her with a lot of insecurities Madison decides to follow a band and writes about a band choosing Rolling Izaac's, she didn't expect to feel the sizzle from Max Rand in simply handing him a business card. While writing her story she also writes Love Notes to Rand that he will never see. Max Rand doesn’t think he can ever love again after the loss of Ashley. With Maddy hearing different stories about the Rand’s late nights, she tries to put the out of her mind, all the while she has her ex telling her that he wants her back and leaving her was a mistake. When Maddy finally finds out who Ashley is and it wasn’t who she expected, Maddy also lets her self-doubts, come though when she sees messages on Rand’s phone. When Christmas Day comes along Maddy makes her decision only to change her mind again. The author keeps you intrigued about who Maddy will decide to take the chance with her heart and whether she can trust and love again. Whether Rand will open his heart to love again when he says his heart is broken. Maddy’s ex Harrison and whether he can do enough to win Maddy back.
First off, let me just say that I have never read a book with so much licking. And by that I mean on the face and ear area. You know that saying, "I licked it so it's mine"? That phrase is so appropriate for this book. It's like Rand is licking Madison all the time. It's kind of weird in a way. But then maybe that's just part of his rock star charm. The storyline was really interesting: a divorced woman is writing about a band she's currently following and the singer is totally into her but his rock star behavior confuses her and there's the ex-husband further confusing her. Thomas, you know, I just don't know how to explain this guy except to scream "Don't fall for that again, Madison!" Seriously, he needs to just leave things alone. With that being said, I loved the connection between Rand and Madison. There is soooo much build up to it all, but their time together is really sweet and he is such a good guy when they are alone. And the ending? It's the best!
I am not sure how this book, and the whole series for that matter, received such high ratings - 4,90 - on Goodreads. Come on! Let's be serious.

Renee Lee Fisher is a new author to me and I really enjoyed this first book in the Heartbeat Series...Rock Notes. A keen attention to detail, this story unfolds with Madison trying to pick up the broken pieces of her life as she moves forward and meets Rock God Max Rand at one of his concerts. A well written love story that takes your emotions on a roller coaster ride. “Rand” is one hot AF tattooed rocker who has some heavy things he’s hiding. Will Madison be able to withstand the unknown, ignore the young female fans and explore and embrace her own blossoming feelings towards her sexy rock star? All will become clear after reading this book... with more books to follow in the series. I’m looking forward to picking up the next one. ~ Angie❤️
