Publisher's Summary

He stole her lyrics, and then he stole her heart.

Lyric Cassidy is off the tour, lost as to what her next career move will be, and certain that she'll never love again after Wolf. All because of a social media scandal that left her with no choice but to pack up and face the consequences. When she learns that the fate of her career is in her hands, she has a difficult decision to make. Step back on the tour bus with Wolf and deal with the mess she left behind, or end her contract early and lose her job at Perform Live?

Wolf's shattered heart finds no resolve in giving Lyric a chance to come back on tour. He can never be with her again. Not after she walked away. Conflicted with wants and needs, he struggles to remember who Wolf was before Lyric. That's what he needs to become again. Maybe then his heart will be safe. Or maybe there's no hope for the damaged.

But with stolen dreams, betrayals, and terrifying threats - no one's heart is safe. Not even the ones that may be destined to be together.

Well done!

The voices are so well done and the perfect pick for the heroine and hero. This book is more than a sexy rock story. There is some suspense and a well written plot too. Enjoy!!

In the title of both books is the word hearts ... These books pull on all your heart strings.... family, friendship, longing ,loving ,caring ,kindness,,heart break, fear ,loyalty but most of all trust. Trust me you need to get both books today you won't regret it. Click it and Enjoy☺

Even better than the first!!

Any additional comments?

I read this Duet and already knew how much I loved Lyric and Wolf but "hearing" these characters really brought this story to life. Lynn and John did a fabulous job making me feel every emotion as it happened! If you don't know Lyric and Wolf's story, you are missing out! I promise their story will quickly become one of your favorites❤

Loved more than book 1!!!

I didn’t think it was possible, but this book is even better than book 1 of the duet!! KK Allen had outdone herself! This entire duet is sexy and fun while being sweet and caring. However, in Destined Hearts she adds in a ton of suspense. I couldn’t stop listening! She was throwing curveball after curveball and taking me on this intense ride!! I was rooting for Lyric and Wolf... sigh, that ending.

These narrators were perfect! I loved this book! So much! I felt the tension coming through John Masterson’s voice. I felt the fear in them both. Plus the anger, the portrayal of emotions was so good. Bravo!!! Y’all are a great team and compliment each other very well. I want more!!

Yes!

Book review: Destined Hearts, what shall I say? First off, I think Ms. Allen should write a romantic suspense/thriller, I think she would rock it! And that comment won't make any sense until you READ THIS BOOK!

This book returns to Lyric and Wolf as they try and reconcile the ending of Dangerous Hearts. These people throw themselves back in together. They have to figure out where they stand with each other once more and lay all their secrets out on the table, especially Lyric , who is still struggling her past.

As with the first volume in this duology, it is quite explicit in both language & bedroom content. (So not for the younger fans of Ms. Allen's Summer Solstice series!)

I love how Wolf and Lyric communicate. Yes, it takes a while for Lyric to get everything out, but she does it well before the end. Also have to mention Terese, everyone should have a friend like her in their lives, someone who will give it to them straight. Lastly, Crawley, such a creep (well done!) every time I read his dialogue, I heard Crawley from Supernatural in my head. (Now you try not to!)

As for the end, wow! Lyric is no damsel in distress, she's a kick-ass heroine! Way to go, Ms. Allen!

I received an advanced viewer copy (I also preordered the kindle version and NEED the paperback on my shelf!) I can't wait for another K.K. Allen novel!

Audio review: I loved it! I’d already heard the duo in Dangerous Hearts but the male reader dropped his ‘sad cat diary’ inflections and it was much smoother to my ears.

Great continuation to this duet

Destined Hearts continues right where Dangerous Hearts left off.
K.K. Allen did a remarkable job with this story and she had me hooked until the last page. This novel was a roller-coaster of emotion.
While this was the continuation of Wolf and Lyric's story, the band members were also there along with a couple additional characters who all contributed to making this story so much more than I expected. I loved watching the progression of Wolf and Lyric's relationship. It was fast paced and had me wondering what will happen next.
The plot was fantastic, with the intrigue, the angst, the twists and turns and most importantly the romance. I was at the edge of my seat for most of the book.
The narration was ok. While the two narrators complimented each other, I really did not connect them with the characters. However this did not prevent me from enjoying the story.
This page-turner was a great conclusion to this duet.

Loved This Duet!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I had already read and reviewed this book and listening to the audio was amazing. The narrators were great and just made you love the story even more. K.K. Allen has a way of writing that takes your breath away. Wolf and Lyric’s love story takes you on an amazing journey that will grip your heart, make you laugh and make you cry. I highly recommend listening to this book!!

sound of music...

The story had continued and its more than rocker romance.. its the drama, life behind the stage... Lynn and John did a fantastic job taking the story to another level... I enjoyed listening to their connection... the story flowed smoothly and my emotions are everywhere!

2-2.5 Stars

I was really hoping that this second book would increase my rating for this duology as a whole. It did not. If anything, exasperation increased. I honestly feel that Wolfe and Lyric's story could have been condensed into one book. Although, maybe a slightly longer one. That's saying a lot from someone who loves BIG books with lots of detail. The unnecessary sex scenes would have decreased it immeasurably. I don't mind them, but in this book, "less is more." Maybe, it's because I didn't fully connect with these characters or story. Many times, the intimate scenes felt thrown in and/or awkward. Also, I love a great book hero, but I never fully believed in Wolfe. He never felt like a character who was wholly reformed or redeemed. The best part of this book was the "jump-the-shark" moment towards the end. I won't spoil it, but any lesser person might have given up at this point. It was so out of left field, that I could help but watch the "car wreck." Meaning "car wreck" in the best way possible. In the end, when listening to the audio, I tolerated the narration much better than the first book.
