Synopsis
Mike
Osborn woke up in a hospital in Germany three years ago. He was breathing. They
had saved him.
Double
Blind Study has been through every rock and roll cliché ever contrived. When
their drummer nearly dies from a drug overdose, everything changes. Life is
important again. Living is important again.
No
one knows that better than Mike. So why does he feel like even though he's
breathing and he's happy, his heart isn't beating the way it should be?
Maybe
it never did.
When
Mike meets Clarke Matthews for the first time, he knows he should stay away
from her. He knows too much about her and what she's been through. But for the
first time, his heart has found another with a rhythm that matches his own.
Every beat explodes a beam of light to illuminate his darkness.
Mike's
been living life raw, unplugged. He's close to a reckoning. When it all comes
apart, and he's faced with every mistake he's ever made, will the darkness win
out? Or will the steady drum of a healthy pulse finally pull him into the light
for good?
Review
I could not wait to
read this book. I completely fell in love with Mike from Book One. There was
just something about him that drew me to him. He was the quiet one. He was the
one always watching everything and everyone around him. He was always there when
his band brothers needed him and giving his words of wisdom and support.
Mike holds my heart.
His story was heartbreaking and beautiful. I love the determination he had to win
his battle and make himself whole. Mike and Clarke were just destined to be
together.
I love how Heidi writes
and creates her characters. No weak females here. Clarke battles with her own
issues. She has no family but she’s still strong, intelligent and fierce. All
the characters are well developed and they grow on you. You will laugh, snort,
cry and giggle. And be prepared to feel all the warm fuzzies because Mike is
just that loveable.
I love Heidi’s writing
style. She always delivers a true love story. Her stories are always told with
such passion and enough drama to keep you consumed from beginning to end. There
touching, heartbreaking, relatable and always carry such a great positive
message. Mike’s story gives you hope. That although life can sometimes be tough
and there are obstacles that require great strength to overcome, however, if
you are determined and believe in faith and hope, you can overcome just about
anything.
Although each book in
this series can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading in order.
You get to meet the characters from the beginning and get a feel for each one.
Each story is just as wonderful and they just continue to get better and
better.

About the Author
Heidi Hutchinson was born in South Dakota and raised the exact
right distance away from the Black Hills. She had an overactive imagination
very early on, and wasted no time in getting most of her friends in trouble due
to her unrealistic and completely ridiculous ideas. Seeing as she was so lazy
and also afraid people would think she was bonkers, she didn't write down any
of the story lines that played out in her daydreams.
During her high school years, she took pen to paper and filled
more notebooks than she is proud of with angsty, depressing, self-depreciating
poetry. This led to her writing down more things: notes, ideas, character bios,
plot twists that had no plot yet to twist. After years of cleaning up her own
scraps of imagination with nothing solid to hold on to, she sat down and wrote
the story that had been in her head the longest. Fueled by coffee and her
unwavering and perfectly normal devotion to Dave Grohl, she discovered a writer
living inside of her.
She still lives in the Midwest, though not as close to the Black
Hills as she would prefer, with her alarmingly handsome husband and their
fearless child. They eat more pizza than God intended and she listens to her
music the same way she lives: loudly.
