Publisher's Summary

Danny "Madman" Maddox isn’t supposed to make Skylar Haze's heart beat out of rhythm. At least not anymore.  

She hasn't seen that boyish face, always covered in a five o'clock shadow, dimpled smile, and teasing hazel eyes, since the day he left to go on tour with her brother Joey's band. Now, with a major record label backing them, the band is in need of a bit of help, and when Joey asks Skylar to be the band's photographer, she can't help but say yes.  

Of course, Joey doesn’t know about that forbidden kiss. The one Skylar hopes Danny’s forgotten. 

But can she?  

One smile and she finds herself slipping again. But he’s the drummer, and he’s beaten her heart before. And she won’t let it happen again.  

Fans of Kasie West, Cookie O'Gorman, and Monica Murphy will fall in love with this coming-of-age romance series that tackles love, friendship, and moving on from painful pasts.

Heartwarming - Boy Band Romance

I received this audible book for free to give my honest opionion. Out of Beat centers around Danny and Skylar, for Skylar Danny was the one that always got away, they have to keep there romance a secret since Skylar's brother is in the band and friends with Danny. Danny and Skylar always had the relationship of friends more like brother/sister until one night a kissed changed it all, it went from friendship to something else. I loved that Skylar got the opportunity to be apart of the band, in becoming there manager... at first I didnt think that it would work but I was pleasently surprised. I did enjoy the relationship between the band, it is good to see the bonds that are created since they are traveling together all the time.

I look forward to other bookings by Cassandra Giovanni. If you like heartwarming - slow romances then I would suggest you listen to this book.

Sweet romantic story with great narration!

Out of Beat by Cassandra Giovanni wasn't the typical rockstar romance which was a breath of fresh air for me. All the guys of the band are so down to earth and sweet to Skylar, who is one of the main characters in the story. Out of Beat has such a great flow and the past and present blend in so well together without confusing the reader. Kaye Anderson did an AMAZING job narrating. I loved that she did different voices for several of the characters and did some with emotion when the story called for it. Cassandra and Kaye have come together to make a sweet listen when the mood calls for it.

This secret makes for an interesting tour.

Out of Beat Boys of Fallout, Book 1

By: Cassandra Giovanni Narrated by: Kaye Anderson

When Skylar, the little sister grows up, she is asked to join the band to be their photographer and becomes so much more. When Joey asked his baby sister to join them on the road, he had no idea how much she would help the band. After a not so honest manager begins to mess up everything on tour, Skylar takes over and helps in so many ways. The thing is, Joey doesn’t know about the secret kiss his little sister shared with Danny right before they left years ago; but Danny has never been able to forget about it. This makes for an interesting tour.

I loved the way this story unfolds as it’s told. It gives just the right amount of back story exactly when it’s needed to help the flow of the read/listen. Out of Beat is excellently written to be a quick and smooth read. A perfect road trip or Beach read. I highly recommend this book and rate it with 4 stars. I look forward to hearing the rest of this series.

What a great story!

I loved Danny and Skylars story! It was sweet to see their relationship and sad to hear her story of the past. I loved how they were together and how all the members of the band rallied around her!

I enjoyed the narration as well!

Beautiful rockstar story

This is a new-to-me author so I was not sure what to expect. This is not the typical rockstar story with tons of meaningless sex and drug abuse. There is a plot!! Skye’s older brother and her best friend, Danny, are members of a rock band...and they’ve invited her to join them on their summer tour as their photographer!! While Skye is excited, she is a bit apprehensive, considering the kiss that she shared with Danny a year ago. How will this duo interact now and will it affect the band?
While I would have liked a quicker pace to the story, it was well written and entertaining. Loved the HEA...the boys in bras...lolol.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Cute and fun

This audiobook was very cute and fun, I enjoyed the story of Skylar and her journey to find where she belongs. She and Danny were great together. And I really enjoyed the dynamic between all of the characters because it wasn’t just a band they made a family.

Sweet story.

A sweet young adult story of bullying and coming of age. Skylar and Danny, both having gone through hard times and have known each other for years, finally come together as Skylar takes on the job of photographer and then manager of her brother's music group. Many lessons learned in this novel and hopefully, the young adults who read this will see that there is always someone to talk to and help them through rough times.

Loved it

This is a great story about finding yourself, and the secrets that can hurt people that care about you and lessons that can be taught about bullying through song. Great narration

powerful narration. Love the whole element of band environment in the story.

Oh WOW!!!

I absolutely loved this audio book.
A sweet and loving story of a girl named Skylar who was asked by her brother Joey to go on tour with him and his band to be there photographer. The only problem is that she has to be in close quarters with Danny, a boy with whom she shared her first kiss. She tries to resist Danny with his boyish charm and handsomely good looks, but the more Skylar is around him the more her heart wants him back in her life.
This is one group of guys you want to have your back at all times. There a fun loving group that love each other and treat Skylar as a little sister, all except Danny who has been in love with her for years. So when Skylar's darkest secret is revealed to the band all of the guys see red, Skylar gets mad at them all for different reasons. But Danny is the only one who can calm her down, talking all through the night.
I love the ending of this book, mostly everything works out in the end. Danny and Skylar and all the guys get the endings they all deserve.
