Pulse (The Luminous Rock Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 124 ratings

Thump.
That's what my heart did when I saw her.
The vivacious lead singer of the world-famous band, Luminous.
Effa's bubbly, quirky, and she's about to rock my world.

While going on tour with an all-female rock band should be intriguing, I've left someone behind. Someone so important it could be the difference between life and death.

Lines are blurred, jealousy flares - Effa sets my pulse racing, and she's going to change everything.

    OMG - I never thought I would get to the point of wanting to strangle an author but KE Osborn pushed my buttons, how could she leave us gasping for more with the cliff hanger at the end of Pulse.

    Effa and Mercs, at first you think an unlikely couple but the more the author delves into their characters the more you can see that the two of them belong together. Effa is a woman who sees the best in everyone, even the bad boys and Mercs who has and is living a difficult life supporting his Gran and sister together they build an unlikely but beautiful relationship with ups and downs that take you on a roller coaster ride.

    Whilst the book is Effa and Mercs you can't help but be drawn in by the back story of Luminous, the band and the dramas that surround them which of course add to the story of Effa and Mercs, which adds to the deliciousness of the book.

    An amazing read and having not strangled the author I'm looking forward to more of Effa and Mercs story.

    All you Rock Star book junkies who wanted an all female band to read about- here it is. This brand new series features the Band Luminous. After reading hundreds of Rock Star books that are male oriented, it was nice to see the ladies who believe in the Rock mantra of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. All 5 band members are introduced in Pulse, however this book concentrates on their lead singer Effa & Sound Man extraordinaire Kaden "Merc" Mercury.
    I LOVE Effa (short for Effervescent) and that isn't even her real name, she is wise beyond her years, a bit naive and an old soul thanks in part to her hippy upbringing. She has her sights set on the bands new Sound Man and poor Kaden, doesn't stand a chance, but hiding things from Effa, who is an open book can cause trouble. There is plenty of drama both with Luminous and the the lead singer of their opening band. This does end on a cliffhanger, but book 2 Breathe will be here before you know it.

    5 HEARTBEAT STARS!! OMG....I can't believe my heart is still beating after finishing this story. This book has all the feels my heart has went through happy, sad, excited, love and flat out broken. K.E. Osborn has taken us on a beautiful tour of a all girl rock band, inside and out. I loved Effa, she is a beautiful lead singer and knows what she wants. Kaden is a hot lighting director that starts working for Luminous the band. These two have a story to tell us and you will want to hear it. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

    Good 3.5 read. Love the Rocker Chick concept of this story. Effa (lead singer) enters the story and you feel right away her Mother Earth qualities which was awesome. I enjoy the interesting and unusual and she definitely delivers that. Merc (new lightning guy) touched my heart right off the bat. So don’t laugh but I love how we meet him and are introduced to his good work ethic and amazing organizational skills. Maybe that is a small thing but I loved it (no I am not OCD haha). Most impressive though is his love for family even after experiencing loss. How cancer touches his world is an added emotional element. For me the characters of this book were the shining stars. Effa and Merc as well as the entourage that came with them kept me entertained and intrigued. This book has a lot going on and at times I was a bit confused and just didn’t have a good understanding. Of course saying that I need to clarify that this book is a cliffhanger so filling in the details might occur in the next book. Overall I thought this was a good story and look forward to its second part. I am guessing and hoping some of the other characters might be getting their own story in the future as well. Happy Reading!

    Oh my gosh my heart the cliffhanger killed me I so did not see that coming just WOW . I really enjoyed Pulse it drew me in from start to finish with lovable characters and refreshing story line . I've had the pleasure of reading the Recoil Rock series were the luminous are introduced mainly Effa who I adore the way she embraces her uniqueness . From the first meeting between Effa and Mercs they shared a undeniable attraction that built into a inferno that couldn't be extinguished add in sex scenes that will leave you tingly and love the way how their opposites but similar in some ways . Effa is amazing she's confident , funny , kind , sassy , beautiful, strong , talented she was just one of those characters you can't help but be drawn to , love the relationship she has with her band mates and crew (I hope they all get their own stories ) . Mercs is pure yummyness loved everything about him the way he is with his family and then the heroine he became super swoon worthy , he's sweet , protective , talented , down to earth , and knows how to evaporate panties (wink) . I formed a strong attachment to the characters and story line which is so refreshing with the heroine being in a all women rock band and the hero being the lighting director they compliment each others work her with music him with creating lighting that went perfect with it . I'm so anxious to read the next book but also excited to see whats to come , looking forward to whats to come for K.E Osborn in the future .

    Pulse is a unique story line about a female rock group so I was incredibly excited for this little twist. This book has a great flow to it and once I grasped who all the characters were and their roles it became a fun read. The dynamics between all the characters is great and I love reading the development as they went through the story.

    Great read and would highly recommend

    5.0 out of 5 stars Damn Jett.!!! 5*+
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2018
    Another brilliant story from K E Osborn... I was full of anticipation while reading Pulse because I knew it didn’t end well but I couldn’t work out what might possibly go wrong between Effa and Mercs, apart from a couple of misunderstandings they were pretty much on the same page and beautiful together ...Jett cause’s problem’s from early on and he’s a real course for concern and determined to come between Effa and Mercs You know it’s only a matter of time, he’s sligh and he’s been throwing threats around for a while but it still doesn’t prepare you for how low he stoops... it doesn’t prepare you for how this story ends.
    I hope Jett gets what’s coming to him.
    Thank goodness Breathe is being released in a few weeks because I need to know if Effa is ok and I need some answers.!
    Once you start reading you won’t want to stop. Aside from all the obvious drama you have the worry of Kiera Mercs sister... There has to be a positive outcome but times running out.!
    I love all the characters except Jett of course.!!
    Thank you K E Osborn.
