Heart's Insanity
Alpha Men, Steamy Scenes, & Heart Pounding Romance, Heart's Insanity has it all!
Ash has it all: fame, fortune, and the adoration of screaming fans, but the constant parties and endless string of one-night stands have taken their toll. He’s tired of cheap women and meaningless sex. He wants something real and someone to hold on to. But how can he find a woman who sees the real him, instead of the rock star he's become?
His answer might lie with the sassy Dr. Summers. When sparks ignite between them, Ash is intrigued. When she has no idea who he is, he’s fascinated. When she runs following a little innocent flirting, he can't resist. Ash is in full pursuit, because something tells him this woman is worth the chase.
There's only one problem. When he catches her, the demons of her past might be too much for even a rock legend to handle.

Heart's Insanity (book 1)

The Author states in the beginning of this book that it is an insta-love story, and that's fine for I go into all rock books as fantasy but what I wasn't prepared for was the brutal back story of Skye & her foster brother Forest/Bean. This may cause some triggers and reader beware, the abuse the 2 suffered was enough to destroy anyone.
Newly engaged Dr Skye Summer runs away from a heartbreaking scene stopping off on her way to work to her favorite coffee shop, before she makes it into the building she notices 5 guys jumping out of 2 Escalades nearly knocking over 2 elderly ladies on their way into the shop. Her dark mood gets worse observing the "frat" boys antics when the show no manners what so ever and she goes over and gives them a piece of her mind - I will admit this was one on my favorite scenes in the book.
Ash Dean (aka Blaze) is the front man for the band Angel Fire and never has had a woman call him out , call out yeah, while between her legs, but not scold him like he's ten. He is pissed, intrigued and fascinated at the 5'2" hellcat.
I loved Ash - he's a romantic at heart and does everything he can to win Skye over. Skye I had a problem with. She rose above all that happened to her by becoming a dedicated ER Dr to help those in need. But, she refuses to get help herself and doesn't allow Ash to "fix" her. Without giving too much away, the situation resolves itself in the epilogue, but if anything was "insta" in this book, it was that. I would have liked to know more on the Foundation that Forest and her set up, how it came to be and what happened to the douche bag Tyler

4.5 Stars Rounded Up!
This was such a good story that I had a hard time putting it down. Just started it yesterday. It's a story about a woman who meets a guy one day and thinks he is poor. But, of course he's not as he is a very famous rock star. She's just broken up with her cheating fiance. Enough about the story. I loved the male character and just worried about the female. She has been through horrific stuff. The two together didn't make sense until they did. The only reason I dropped it down half a point was due to the hasty end that really needs a sequel. And I'm not talking about .5 of the series. Prequel, but honestly, I just can't read that after all that was part of this story. Hopefully, there will be more in another book. Great romance!
Trigger warnings for rape, child sexual abuse and any number of horrible things people can do to others. It is all off the page but it is told about.
*****After I wrote my review an authors note came up and I was able to download and read an extra scene that takes place 6 months later. So that did help the ending immensely. I just didn’t think I should have to sign up for the authors newsletter to get an ending. That’s like holding the ending hostage or something.

In this book Skye finds love in the the most unusual spot. How can she love and be loved when she can’t even face her past.

Heart's Insanity: an Angel Fire Rock Romance by Ellie Masters
Ash & Skye
WOW... WHAT A RIDE
5 STARS
This one is not your typical "rocker" romance! So much more is going on. So many emotions, so many feels, I can hardly contain myself. Ellie did a great job of putting me right there in the thick of it. I felt like I was part of this crazy crew.
Skye is fucked up, possibly beyond repair. She's endured so much heartache and torment at such a young age. Now as an adult, and a successful one at that, she's still messed up, but just rolls with the punches and takes what she can get... a.k.a. Spencer. What goes through a girls mind when she picks a guy who treats her like that? Who knows! She amazed me at every turn of the pages and I loved her unconditionally.
Ash isn't your typical "rock star," well, maybe he was, but once Skye sees right through his BS he's instantly captivated by her. I have to hand it to him. He doesn't give up easily and thank God for that! Ash stands up to Skye, her brother, and his bandmates for "the one." Exhilarating to read!
The supporting character cast is pretty big here. Let's see if I can remember all the names... The Angel Fire crew is as follows... Bent, Bash, Spike, and Noodles. I'm not sure about Bent at the moment. He was kind of a dick! There's a shady manger and the security detail which I ended up liking. Then there's Spencer, Skye's ex-fiancé. What a controlling asspipe. And my personal favorite, Bean (Beanpole) Skyes BIG brother. And when I say BIG brother I mean like 6'8" of a BIG brother. He swooned me immediately.
So, I read it in less than a day. It's that good! The characters (even the shithead ones) were very convincing and mesmerizing. The dialogue flowed flawlessly and the storyline was impeccable. Plenty of tension leading up to the climax that I struggled to put it down. I loved it and can't wait to see what comes next.

This book will rock your world!
Wow, Ellie Masters just blew my expectations away with this rockstar romance! I thought it was going to go one way but it went in the opposite direction, took a few turns, got on the highway and just took off. If you think this is going to be like every other rockstar romance book out there, you'd be wrong. Ellie Masters did an amazing job writing a unique story with characters that just burrow their way into your heart and stay with you long after you've put the book down.
The story is about Skye Summers, an emergency room doctor with issues caused by her tragic upbringing in foster care and Ash Dean, the lead singer of the number one rock band in the world, Angel Fire. After they meet, Ash believes that it was fate that brought them together and wants more than anything to spend some time getting to know Skye before his band gets back out on the road for their tour. Skye on the other hand isn't the type of person who does things on a whim but feels there is a connection there. But she also thinks that once he learns about her "issue" that connection will be gone.
I can't put into words how amazing this book is. What I can tell you is that you will fall in love with Skye and Ashes story and in the process become a huge fan of Ellie Masters.

"Theirs was a story of insanity, but fate had woven their separate strands together."
Ellie Masters knows how to write a rocker romance! As this is my first opportunity to read this author's work; I'm completely impressed with her ability in crafting this heart touching story. A strong plot that may cause certain reader's hearts to shatter. Character development is right on the money! You will feel their inner turmoil and pain. Notes of humor and swooning romance make Hearts Insanity, An Angel Fire Rock Romance the complete 5 STAR package!
Ash Dean (Blaze), "a minister's son who swore like a sailor and had an inked dragon on his neck;" finds himself in a situation where he's "just a guy hoping to impress a girl."
Skye Summers considers herself, "broken and messed up ten ways till Sunday." However, Ash doesn't see that. The connection they share surfaces so quickly; it's Insanity! "When the two of them collided, the world seemed to fall into place." Ash soon finds himself looking for "the bigger prize." Shame and trust issues have Skye looking to place some distance between them.
"Like oil and water, his famous life and her quiet existence did not mix;" or could it? See if Ash and Skye have a chance at a happily ever after!

Loved it!
As impossible as this story is to imagine, that is why most readers read. We want to be transported to a world where we can get a great romance and imagine ourselves in the starring role! At least I do. This book did that for me. There were many dark issues covered in here by the author which gave me pause, the worst of which was sexual abuse. It is hard to fathom the evil that actually exists in society. On a lighter note, I have to admit empathy for Ash feeling used but, hey, he chose the life!
I admit to buying the rest of the series today. I hesitated at first because I had never read anything by this particular author. Midway, or even earlier, through the storytelling I knew I liked her writing. Onto the next...

What a book! It is half rock star and half adults who deal with having been horribly abused in foster care. I think the subject was handled gently but I was disappointed that a doctor was not willing to get therapy. I loved Ash!!! Forest was a handful but amazing. Special place in hell for those who abuse innocent children.

I thought I knew where this was headed but I will hold my hands up and admit that I was mistaken.
The author took a well walked path and flipped it on its head. She gave her characters a storyline that they could definitely get their teeth stuck into and as a reader I have to say that on more than one occasion I didn’t see the kicks the author added to the story coming.
Skye had a childhood that was so painful, so hurtful and so traumatic that I had to take a deep breath while I was reading it, time to actually absorb what she was going through and to accept that this young woman was going to face a lifetime trying to overcome the trauma, Victim of her foster fathers warped and twisted mind, I felt so sad for her, she deserved so much better.
I couldn’t get my head around how she would ever be able to move on, but I admired the fact that she tried, that she wasn’t willing to be defined by her past and was delighted that she was able to forge her own path, to find a man that she was willing to trust and a relationship she was willing to commit too.
This strong woman could have anyone she wanted but it seemed as if those she wanted didn’t feel like they had to treat her with the respect she deserved. What other excuse is there for the fact that her brand-new fiancé thought that he could not only cheat on her but then have the cheek to imply his infidelity was her fault…oh ladies I have a whole dictionary of expletives lined up for his sorry a$$ !!!
Turning her back on yet another painful chapter in her life, she heads to the one place she knows she is truly appreciated…the hospital. And it is while she is en-route that she encounters someone who will play a major part in her future and this time it is for all the right reasons.
Hanging out in the coffee shop with his friends, Ash was blown away when this beautiful woman not only entered the shop but practically blanked him, he was fascinated that she had no idea that who he was, you see he was a major rock star but that means nothing to the Skye.
Finding the whole run in at the coffee shop a little strange, Skye couldn’t get out of there fast enough but did she leave alone or was there encounter just beginning?
Silly as it might seem but Ash is sick of the rock star lifestyle, sick of the hangers on and the gold diggers, so the cold shoulder from Skye had his interest piqued. As far as he was concerned, he was willing to do anything he had to too get his girl.
Ash had the sort of childhood that Skye could have only ever imagined, his parents were wonderful and emotionally he never wanted for anything…that is what he wants, he is looking of the woman that will see him for who he is in his soul, not what he has in the bank or the fame that his career foists upon him, he is a man of fairly simple needs and as far as he can see …. he needs Skye.
The romance that evolved between the two of them was beautiful, he was the perfect man for her, she was the focus of all of his time and attention and he was so generous with both that she was always going to find him impossible to resist…woohoo!!!
A fantastic twist on the traditional and will worn rock star romance, beautifully written this is a very smart read that I really enjoyed.

A rock star romance with so many feels….
Oh how I love a rock star - and Ash Dean fit the bill nicely! Ash was everything I love about a music man. He was a bad boy with a lot of his hard living behind him, with his guitar never far away. I just wanted to hear the music he felt. Hear him. When Skye Summers takes him and his bandmates to task I knew this was not going to be one his fans capturing his attention! Skye was… Wow, what can I say about this strong, incredible character? She survived a horrific childhood to become a doctor, a healer for others. When life kicks her in the butt once again, and Ash presents her with an even bigger challenge, she is ready to deal. This time, however, Ash wants to be by her side…
“A minister’s son who swore like a sailor and had an inked dragon on his neck, Ash was a clash of contradictions driving her mad.”
And what a trip it turns out to be! To call this a whirlwind romance would be an understatement! From an etiquette lesson to an impromptu weekend away, their relationship was going from zero to ten to 100 in the blink of an eye. And it all felt so natural. It didn’t feel like insta-love or things were moving too fast. I guess when you know, you know and I felt that between them.
So much is packed into the hours and all of it full of revelations, emotion and healing. They are both recovering from the toll their paths have taken and despite their support systems they each find a soulmate in the other. Hard fought, soul-searching and absolutely guaranteed to hit you in the heart…
“Ash was sex and power, all wrapped up in one glorious package, but with that guitar wrapped in his hands, he became a force of beauty.”
With a**hole exes, smarmy managers and over-protective bros, this was a ride with no quiet moments. Skye and Ash are my new “it” couple! And I may have fell just a bit in love with Forest. Sigh… I hope there will be more of Angel Fire and maybe a story for Forest as well?? Please????

Skye hasn't had it easy. Her and her brother, Bean, are the horror stories of the foster system. But even with their past, they could have gone either way and they chose to do good. Skye is a well respected emergency room doctor who has just gotten engaged. On her way to her shift, she decides to surprise her newly acquired fiancé with a quick stop by his home before heading to the hospital, only she was the one who was surprised as he was not alone in his bed. As she rushes out the door and to the coffee shop wondering why nothing romantic can work out for her and her past must always haunt her, she sees the strangest thing; four guys in t-shirts getting out of a SUV in the middle of winter and entering the coffee shop. They must be crazy she thought, but they didn't even hold the door for the two older ladies behind them. This gets her temper that's already stewing up another degree. The coffee shop is packed and when she gets her drink she turns and sees these idiots laying all about and the two older ladies have no where to sit. Fire flies through Skye and she gives them a piece of her mind and embarrassed afterwards she flies out the shop and heads to the metro. Wouldn't you know it, she's captivated one of the guy's hearts, Ash, and she's left her backpack. He runs after her in the frigid weather in only a t-shirt trying to return it. Then when she doesn't recognize him, which is a breath of fresh air, he's more intrigued and insists on walking her to work. Skye's apprehensive though, Spencer never treated her like this, but she kinda likes it. Ash tells her at the front doors of the hospital that he will see her around because he wants to figure her out. That scares her though, no one can truly figure her out. The only one that knows her that well is Bean, she's put too many locks on her heart to just let any smile in. And if he slips past the locks, he'll surely run, right?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
This book is definitely not what I expected!
Obviously we know this is a love story and one surrounding a rock band, but OMG is it so much more! First off, I absolutely love how the couple meet! Skye has no idea who the band is or why they think they are above everyone else. When the band members take the last remaining open seats in a coffee shop leaving two elderly women to stand, she takes action and puts them in their place. She had a horrible day (after seeing something that can never be unseen) and that was the last straw.
Ash (aka Blaze) takes off after her intending to return the backpack she left behind, but instead his life changes in a way that he never expected. The idea that he convinces her to take him with her for her three day getaway is a little far fetched, but nonetheless the connection between the characters makes this work.
Skye gets to know Ash without really knowing who he truly is which is what Ash finds most attractive about her. Once she learns his true identity though their perfect little bubble is popped. LOVED the trip to Niagra Falls and what happened there. It was one of those things that leave you laughing and shaking your head at the same time.
Skye's story is absolutely heart breaking. To survive what she did and still be a functioning member, a doctor no less, of society is something that needs to be commended. I'm glad the author didn't paint her as a survivor who had no issues and had overcome everything. The author clearly did her research on PTSD and painted a very realistic picture of what this looks like.
OMG...Forrest. God my heart broke for him. Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have his story? Whatever happened to Daniels?
Can't wait to read what's next for this band! And hopefully another glimpse of this couple because wow that epilogue was just amazing!
This book is definitely not what I expected!
Obviously we know this is a love story and one surrounding a rock band, but OMG is it so much more! First off, I absolutely love how the couple meet! Skye has no idea who the band is or why they think they are above everyone else. When the band members take the last remaining open seats in a coffee shop leaving two elderly women to stand, she takes action and puts them in their place. She had a horrible day (after seeing something that can never be unseen) and that was the last straw.
Ash (aka Blaze) takes off after her intending to return the backpack she left behind, but instead his life changes in a way that he never expected. The idea that he convinces her to take him with her for her three day getaway is a little far fetched, but nonetheless the connection between the characters makes this work.

OMG what an amazing book. Ellie Masters has totally outdone herself with this story. I must admit I was expecting a rock-star romance book but got so much more. The characters seem to come to life and their issues became so real as I continued to read page after page. As a reader I couldn’t seem to put the book down needing to know what was going to happen to this couple, Ash and Skye, as well as those close to them. The couple had so many issues going against them, in both the private as well as rock-star world, that you can’t help but get drawn into the story. This book will grip your emotions and have you feeling happy, sad, carefree and devastated at various time. You can’t help but root for a happy outcome even though while you're reading, you sense a Happy Ever After may be impossible.
I don’t do spoilers so I’ll simply tell you this is a 1-click must. You won’t be sorry as you read a marvelous story about a rock-star looking for someone who sees him as a normal guy and a girl and her brother who come from an abusive foster home and are just looking to survive the best way they know how. This reader hopes this is the start of an awesome series to come.
I highly recommend Heart’s Insanity with a hearty 2 Thumbs Up!

Skye Summers is an emergency room doctor that just got engaged to a wealthy, well to do man. She decides to surprise her new fiancé, only to be the one to be surprised. When she quickly hurries away in search of coffee to distract her from the train wreck she walked in on, she runs into Ash and his friends at the local coffee shop that she frequents.
Ash is in a really popular band called Angel Fire, and is in town for a concert. All of the men in Ash's family fall in love at first sight when they meet their one that they are supposed to be with. All Ash has ever wanted was to find his "one", so when he meets Skye his gut screams to him that she's his "one"...especially when she seems to have no idea who he really is. Now all he will have to do is convince her.
Skye hasn't had the easiest life. She has many demons from her past that need to be slain. The only person that is close enough to Skye to know all of her secrets is her foster brother, Bean, but he has just as many secrets of his own.
Can Ash help Skye stay her demons so they can overcome her past? Will Skye or even Bean let Ash in close enough to try? This was my first book from Ellie Masters, it darn sure will not be my last.

***5 stars***
I’ve literally become a Ellie Masters addict with no shame. She has a way of sucking you into her dark world of sin, sexiness and romance. Each chapter and turn in this book leaves you shocked and yearning for more.
I fell in love with the characters Skye and Ash in every way from the moment they met. The sadness and emotions from Skye's past leave you running wild, heartbreaked and makes you bleed right along with her. You also find yourself falling on your knees in love with the adoring man Ash (off stage) and Rock Star Blaze (On Stage), his band Angel's Fire and Forest, Skye's brother.
Oh! How much I wished Angel's Fire was a real Rock Band!!!!
There’s not much you can say about this book without giving it away, but it’s a must read for sure! Like NOW!

There is way too much to say about this book, but can't without giving anything away. There was a lot of complexity with both Skye, Forrest, and Ash. Each have their secrets, which add to not only the story, but to the depth in which each of them show their love. Ellie's writing style is incredible. There is humor, passion, and sinful pleasure behind her stories that won't let you put the book down. I loved the book, and look forward to more from Ellie Masters.

Ellie Master's nailed it. This was so good I read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. it's almost as if you are right there with them. Loved this book can't wait to see what Ellie Masters has up her sleeve next.

3.75-4 stars
I enjoyed this read for the most part, but geez the heroine's past (and that of her brother) are fucking heartbreaking! But I think the thing that separates this from every other book where that's the case, is this author actually made an effort for the hero to not instantly 'fix' her. While other readers may find that frustrating/annoying, I thought it made sense to her character. I also appreciated that while we had the story of her past, it wasn't in copious amounts of graphic detail that made it come off as gratuitous, and something that would have me DNF-ing in a heartbeat.
The hero is a rockstar with a past that lives up to that title. Again, we get the gist of it all without ever having it shoved in our faces. Because when the hero meets the heroine, she's all he sees. There are no other scenes where the hero allows another woman to be all over him without doing anything about it (hate those books. Makes the hero seem too passive, and not something I find appealing), but you know that his life before her was a hell of a crazy time! She didn't hold anything against him, and his actions only proved she was so much more to him than some random he was interested in hooking up with.
Having said all that, I couldn't rate it higher because there were a few things that happened toward the end that frustrated me. We don't get to see the big reveal where Ash (hero) finds out exactly who Skye (heroine) is. Or what his initial reaction is when he finds out everything in her past she was trying to hide from him . And what about Spencer? We get told that her brother sorted him out, but WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?? I wanted all those things to go down on-page, so it was disappointing that it all kind of fizzled out into us being 'told' it happened. I also wanted more info on the foundation that Forest (heroine's brother) and Skye have set up. There's lots of things that were kind of left unfinished, but I suppose that will all come out in future books? I just thought it was weird there was no conversation between Ash and Skye about it all. Or did I miss that...?
Still, I was glad I read it despite the triggers in this

Audio book review
This is my first Ellie Masters listen. What got me hooked is it’s a Rock love story . The story will have you hooked to your ear buds right till the end. Lots of layers.
Heroine is Skye Summers. Hero is Ash Dean.
Skye is a doctor in the ER . Not only is her work stressful, but her life is also . She had a tough upbringing with no breaks . On the day she meets Ash she had enough and she reached her boiling point.
Ash is the lead singer of a rock band . He’s use to women giving him anything he wants , bending backwards for him .
That day Skye just rips into him . She saw Ash and his buddies disrespecting a lady , so Skye thought to set them straight. That tongue lashing caught Ash attention, since Skye is not like any other women he knows .
Grab it and see if he makes amends and wins Skye over .
Amanda performance was good . Her voice is smooth, clear and joyful.

Heart’s Insanity
This story is a must read. Has some triggers in it to do with abuse, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, the storyline of how being in foster family and what awful situations can result from this. But keep in mind, these are very unlikely to happen, but could be a trigger for some, to keep in mind. Aside from that being said, this is a beautiful story about two people who meet in an likely place, but run into each other, then find each other attracted to each other, without one knowing each other. Their feelings, and their story is unique cause they get to know each other without all the hoopla of famous people! This is a definite must read, as they learn to heal each other, despite outside influences.

This is a powerful book that may have triggers for some people. I think when a book is well written it affects people, hence the trigger warning. Ash gets a taste of the real Skye, ER Dr., when she sees him for the first time and lets him have it for his bad behavior. This tongue lashing both pisses him off and excites him at the same time. Find out how these two come tighter amidst the back history.

Rocker Ash And ER doctor Skye's Story Is Sweet Yet Emotionally Charged As Skye's Painful Past Is An Unavoidable Obstacle To The Couple's Happiness. Don't Forget To Download The Free Prequel!
This is book one of the Angel Fire Rock Romance series, a four book series about the hugely successful rock band Angel Fire. It reads as a stand-alone. There is a free prequel available via a download link within this book; Ashes to New gives the tragic background story of Skye Summers and her foster brother Forest. Forest plays an important role in this story and goes on to play an important role in the Captive Hearts series, a three part series ending in Forest's own story.
Angel Fire is one of the biggest rock bands around. The band nearly broke up a few years back when drugs and addiction became a problem, but after some rehab and a sobriety pledge, they have continued on stronger than ever. Lead singer and guitarist Blaze has been friends since high school with Bash, who plays drums. Spike plays guitar and happens to be covered in piercings. Bent, who has a mop of curly black hair, plays bass. Noodles, tall and lanky, plays on keyboards and stands out with his tribal tats. Although the men have settled down in comparison to their earlier years, they continue to be a rowdy bunch. They fight like brothers and enjoy the pleasures offered by scores of groupies.
Ash Dean, a.k.a. Blaze of Angel Fire, wears a dragon tattoo on his neck that hadn't gone over well with his minister father and elementary school teacher mother. The youngest of five, he didn't follow the traditional path the his older brothers and sisters chose. He got his GED and left home to pursue his musical career at age seventeen. At twenty-eight, he has achieved great success, but not without a price. His addiction nearly broke up the band, but he has been clean for years now. He has had more than his share of women, but the novelty has worn off. He is waiting to find that elusive "one" that his father told him about. It was how his father knew he would marry his mother when they met.
Skye Summers, probably twenty-seven, has worked hard to become an ER doctor, graduating early from high school and entering an accelerated six year medical program. It has kept her busy, which is why she does it. Working is her way to self medicate. She also avoids conflict. Her childhood was robbed from her by her foster father, and although she knows she needs therapy, she hasn't had time to slow down for it yet. Somehow she managed to snag Spencer McAdams three years ago. She is engaged to the successfull lawyer, and when things don't seem right in their relationship he always manages to convince her that it is her fault, on account of her history and the triggers that plague her. She has a hard time disagreeing, but Spencer might have just gone too far this time.
When Skye runs into a rowdy bunch of men at her favorite coffee shop, her patience with men is at an end and she snaps, no longer capable of being complacent. She chews the bunch out for their poor manners and promptly exits, in a hurry to get to work. When Ash sees Skye, he is drawn to her. She really gets his attention when she doesn't hesitate to give him an earful of her opinion of him. She doesn't appear to recognize him, which is a novelty. She sees him - Ash - not Blaze of Angel Fire. He knows then that she is the one, and he won't let her go.
Ash and Skye's story is sweet yet emotionally charged as Skye's painful past is an unavoidable obstacle to the couple's happiness. Skye reluctantly allows a persistent Ash to enter her life. The pair grow closer, but Ash's identity as a rock star and the nature of Skye's history threaten to put a prompt halt to the blossoming romance. Ash is patient and steadfast in his pursuit of Skye. His dedication is adorable. The world seems to conspire against the couple, as Skye's uncertainty is tested by Spencer, her brother, the band, and the public. The couple earns their happy ending.
Some might be initially turned off by Skye's weakness, which is sometimes hard to read about. However, as the story unfolds and context is given, Skye transforms in a survivor, someone willing to fight back, but whose experience in life hasn't given her sound judgement or self confidence. She isn't normal, so she questions herself and is vulnerable to manipulation in a relationship. Ash is wonderfully supportive of her and she is able to begin on the road to recovery under his loving devotion.
Ash and Skye's story is sweet and steamy, but Skye's dark past is a threat to their happiness. Their story is well-written. The plot is somewhat complex. The characters are carefully crafted. The story is written in third person. It is told in Skye's POV with the exception of the epilogue, which is told in Ash's POV. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

Thanks to the author for providing a copy of this book vIa Cocktails and Books and Netgalley. The opinions expressed are my own.
This is an emotional, feel good rockstar romance. Skye is a doctor working in the emergency room when she first meets Ash. When Skye meet Ash, she has no idea he is a big rockstar and treats him like she would anyone else. Skye grew up in foster care and has to work hard for everything she has achieved. Her childhood was a nightmare and the only good that came out of it, is her foster brother, Forest. Skye is hard working, trustworthy, spunky and has character. Her past has made her a driven person, yet she is still haunted by it. After all the pain she has suffered, she deserves some happiness.
Ash is sexy and nice and chases after Skye. He grew up in a normal family and has a great outlook on life. He is down to earth and unspoiled by his success. Ash can’t believe he has finally met a woman who treats him like he is normal and doesn’t have ulterior motives. Ash is caring, protective and patient with Skye and wants to help her.
Skye and Ash have an immediate bond and he never gives up on her. Skye has a hard time understanding what a famous rock star would see in her. This is an entertaining story with lots of chemistry between Skye and Ash.

Heart’s Insanity (Angel Fire Rock #1)
By: Ellie Masters
5/5 stars
This is the second book by Ellie Masters that I have read and it does not disappoint! Her writing is fluid and strong. She conveys thoughts, feelings and emotions almost effortlessly. This book will turn you around, spin your head, break your heart and heal it, all before it ends.
Skye Summers is an emergency room doctor, who through hard work determination and the love of her brother, Bean, has worked from the depths of hell to get where she now is. Skye suffered a tragedy at a young age, and then had a horrific time growing up. As an adult, she has trouble getting close to people and sharing intimacy, due to her circumstances. But she didn’t let anything stand in her way of achieving her dream of becoming a doctor.
Ash Dean is the front man and lead singer of the super popular rock band, Angel Fire. He lives his days singing, touring, recording and writing songs. He first meets Skye on a bad day, but that doesn’t change his instant attraction to her and the need to get to know her. Determined is a good word to describe Ash.
Ash & Skye embark on small getaway with each other, with some rules, the most important being, no sex. Can they make it three days, getting to know each other, spending time in such a close area without breaching the main rule?
Ash is a man that is easy to fall in love with and with whom you feel better just by being in his presence. He is patient and understanding, yet lusty, sexy & a very sexual being. Skye is struggling to overcome her demons and get the good in life. She’s smart, loyal and protective. The two of them together just make my heart sigh, they are that great together. Another star (to me) in this book is Skye’s brother Bean. He’s quite the character with his own damaging past, and I just want him to get an HEA!!
Ellie Masters has written “Ashes To New,” a prequel to this book, about Sky & Bean’s tragic childhood, which is being released in an Abuse Survivors anthology this fall. I’m currently trying to peer pressure her into writing a holiday novella about these characters because I WANT MORE!
I’m excited for more to come in this series and revisiting these characters!

This is the second book by Ellie Masters that I have read and it does not disappoint! Her writing is fluid and strong. She conveys thoughts, feelings and emotions almost effortlessly. This book will turn you around, spin your head, break your heart and heal it, all before it ends.
Skye Summers is an emergency room doctor, who through hard work determination and the love of her brother, Bean, has worked from the depths of hell to get where she now is. Skye suffered a tragedy at a young age, and then had a horrific time growing up. As an adult, she has trouble getting close to people and sharing intimacy, due to her circumstances. But she didn’t let anything stand in her way of achieving her dream of becoming a doctor.
Ash Dean is the front man and lead singer of the super popular rock band, Angel Fire. He lives his days singing, touring, recording and writing songs. He first meets Skye on a bad day, but that doesn’t change his instant attraction to her and the need to get to know her. Determined is a good word to describe Ash.
Ash & Skye embark on small getaway with each other, with some rules, the most important being, no sex. Can they make it three days, getting to know each other, spending time in such a close area without breaching the main rule?
Ash is a man that is easy to fall in love with and with whom you feel better just by being in his presence. He is patient and understanding, yet lusty, sexy & a very sexual being. Skye is struggling to overcome her demons and get the good in life. She’s smart, loyal and protective. The two of them together just make my heart sigh, they are that great together. Another star (to me) in this book is Skye’s brother Bean. He’s quite the character with his own damaging past, and I just want him to get an HEA!!
Ellie Masters has written “Ashes To New,” a prequel to this book, about Sky & Bean’s tragic childhood, which is being released in an Abuse Survivors anthology this fall. I’m currently trying to peer pressure her into writing a holiday novella about these characters because I WANT MORE!
I’m excited for more to come in this series and revisiting these characters!

My first book by Ellie Masters and it was a hit! :) :) :)
I love emotional books, i like to feel what they are feeling and walk the same journey until they finally can be happy.
Skye Summers it's a broken soul, she is a great ER doctor, and have lots of money now, but her past it's so dark that is still hunting her so many years later. The day after her boyfriend proposed to her she found him with another women and he said it was all her fault, hurt and angry she ran away to her job, stopping to get her daily cup of hot cocoa she met a really hot stranger with friends who had really bad manners. She leaves the coffe shop after a weird encounter with them when she feels one of them chasing her, he looks hot but poor, with riped jeans, old chucks and without a jacked in the freezing DC winter.
Ash Dean its a rock star tired of women throwing themself to him, they didn't see him for who he is but for what can he give them, so when this stranger seems not to know him he is happy to go for it.
He had a great childhood, great parents, and still believe about finding the one, that special woman who will look at him for who he really is, so he will do anything to be with Skye, even follow her to a cabin in the woods to try to win her over.
It's a sweet love story with sad moments but feels real, and will make your heart hurt but thank god has a happy ending! You will travel with them and love them and hurt for them until the end.
In this story all what really is important is love and trust.

As everyone knows Rocker books are my favourite to read.Put one in front of me and I will read it .This is my first time reading a book by Author Ellie Masters.
This story revolves around two main characters .Skye Summers who is a doctor and Ash Dean front man for Rock group Angels Fire.
Skye Summer had endured a traumatic childhood that had made her the woman she was today. A good doctor but a woman with many issues. Could the love of a good man make her overcome them ? Or just enhance them?
Ash Dean, aka Blaze, Rocker extraordinaire front man for band Angel Fire has lived the life of a rock star for a while now and it seems to have lost its shine, parties,sex and drugs were all part of his lifestyle but all that had changed .
Who knew a chance encounter in a coffee shop would lead to a love story that would bring love,laughter and angst.Having just found her fiancé in a compromising position she decides to stay in a secluded cabin with a perfect stranger. Unbeknownst to her who he was. Ash was enjoying the anonymity which was a rarity.
Finally the real world intervenes and secrets that were hidden were soon to be revealed on both sides. Can Skye tell Ash the truth and how will he react when he finds out ? Will he understand? Will he support her? How will sky react when she finds out who Ash really is . Can love really prevail ?
What I loved about this book was the story you brought to it. It was not going to be a straightforward love Romance rocker style. Life is never that straight forward .Not everyone has the perfect upbringing and I felt the issues that were raised in this book was done with sensitivity and care . Even the thought of what had occurred upset me to a degree and this shows you how much this book sucked me in . Your words flowed throughout the book and made it a pleasure to read.This was a great book that I didn't want to end .
I hope we see a book 2 in the future so we can see how things turned out between Skye and Ash and maybe Bean.
Congratulations Ellie.
I give this book a 5 star rating.

Hearts Insanity is my first read from Ellie Masters, it will not be my last. Loved this book!! I don't typically read a lot of Rockstar books and after reading this, that's going to change. When a book can make you cry, want to kick one of the characters butts, then you know your in for one hell of a read. Skye Summers is a doctor with a past that will break your heart. Skye is one of the strongest female characters I've read. Although for the life of me I cannot figure out why she would be with person like Spencer. Ash Dean aka Blaze is the lead singer for Angel Fire. After a chance meeting at a coffee shop, he is totally intrigued with Skye. Ash is one swoon worthy rocker! He knows what he wants and he goes for it. And his is set in making Skye his. If I didn't believe in love at first sight or fate, I do now. Ash isn't your typical rocker, he's had enough of the bad boy life style and ready to be with the one he loves. "Fate brought us together for a reason. Try to believe, because life isn't worth living alone" Ash had me falling for him! I loved both Ash and Skye for different reasons, Skye because she came from a childhood from hell and made a life for herself and refusing to give up. Ash was just so protective and so patient with Skye, refusing to let her walk away. The secondary characters were great too. From the band to Skye's foster brother Forester. Spencer is my least favorite and that's putting it mildly. I read this book in less the a day, the words just seemed to flow. Ellie Masters you have me hooked! I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us next! Loved this book!
