Lights... Camera... Action!!!

Love
Betrayal
Lust
Songs for the Healing Soul

You can read about it all in The Sounds of Heartbreak! I love it when you read a book and the story plays out as a movie in your head! The Sounds of a Heartbreak was SPECTACULAR!!! I highly recommend you play the playlist/soundtrack as you read. Reply the song when they pop up
in the scenes... it will make the reading more intense and connecting.
Some may say the story starts off slow... but that’s not bad at all. In the beginning,You get to meet Kea and The Crew and understand their connections and their history. Trust me the story picks and you will not want to put it down. In the Sounds of Heartbreak learn how Kea deals with the people who’s suppose to be there for her the most but be are the ones that’s trying to break her. Akeem and Zedra will work your nerves. But when she meets Sean Bigg... let the fun begin! You will love The Biggs Family

What an experience

I was on the emotional rollercoaster with Kea every step of the way. Every single person in her life infuriated me. Her so called friends and family never had her back when it counted. It makes you think about the people in your life. I really enjoyed this story, and I’m about to get the next one right now.

Loving it

I am loving this well written story. The drama is too much for one person to handle. For everyone to be at taking her is just crazy. The crew is not a crew, but a group of vultures. On to part two.

Bit of a slow starter but if you persevere with it you'll find yourself sucked in and really enjoying it. Would happily recommend this author.

Wow

I feel Kea all the way. I am her. This book had me in tears. Can't wait to read the next book.

Awesome story.

This is a powerful story. Love, loss, and betrayal of the heroine. The only drawback is the grammar. It needs better editing.

This book is full of ups and downs and everything in between. I’m trying not to give any spoilers. The main character, Kea worked every nerve in my body. I don’t have any left. The male characters were a mess, but enjoyable. This story keep me interested from the beginning until the end. I was able to interact with the author as I read this book, and we laughed as we exchanged thoughts about this wonderfully toxic story she created. This is book 1 in the series and I can’t wait to dive in for more. Please purchase the first two books together as book 1 is a cliffhanger. You will not be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

R.K. Renton is an “Amazing Author”

I am an avid reader of many subjects & “Her” ability to convey with words the complexity of emotions felt in these characters can only be described as blessed & true talent. She keeps you engaged and searching for the next move…..

Honey

You put your heart, neck and feet into this book do you hear me. I loved it . Kea reminds me so much of me. You got a good heart but people don't know how to treat you.

Oh my goodness! What a roller coaster of emotions. But GYAT damn was it good! I need time to process but like uuggghhhhhAHHHHHHH Sean!!!!!!!!!!

[CallaLily · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not sure if this is good or not...

The editing of this is so piss poor, that it has detracted from the story. The plot is good but so much of the time is spent trying to decipher what the author was trying to say. And the rereading of multiple passages/chapters was completely ridiculous. I appreciate hard work & self publication but PLEASE get better editors.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I got this book, but I ended up really getting into it! It did have a little of a slow start for me, but I was so curious where it was going that it didn’t make me want to give it up. Great job :)
