LP version. The prestige, preeminence and, perhaps more importantly, the permanent influence of Jamaica on popular music the world over has been unparalleled and unprecedented. Whether it is Ska, Rocksteady, Roots, Dub, Dancehall, or Basement, all music originating from Jamaica has been termed Reggae. Do you know what Reggae really is? Reggae is the same as Rocksteady but with the organ shuffle. It's the shuffle that kinda carried up the Rocksteady... if you take out that you get rock steady! The organ shuffle kind a make it sound a little faster... The shuffling... plenty people talk but they don't know. Reggae is the organ shuffle... -Bunny Striker Lee. The languid, laid-back Rocksteady beat that reigned supreme in Kingston's dancehalls in the mid-'60s started to speed up in the autumn of 1968 as the faster, brasher Reggae rhythms came to the fore. Many claimed to have originated the new beat... All those singers used to like to listen to one another... anytime you'd voice Slim Smith or Delroy Wilson then you'd find Alton Ellis up at the studio listening to them... every one of them was good in their own right -Bunny Striker Lee. The finer points of what is and is not reggae are invariably lost on all but serious devotees of the music; however, pedantry should never stand in the way of appreciation. Voice of Jamaica respectfully advises you to simply listen and enjoy...

Thrilling Fusion of Suspense and Sapphic Longing: Blood and Muscle Delivers with Depth and Desire
Format: Kindle
Elle Alexandra delivers a masterfully woven tale of suspense and romance in Blood and Muscle, a novel that seamlessly balances pulse-pounding tension with deeply felt emotional intimacy. Set against the stark yet breathtaking backdrop of Cedar Falls, Wyoming, this story immerses readers in a world where danger and desire are inextricably linked, and where trust is both a luxury and a necessity.
At the heart of the novel are Ava Bedford, a reluctant fugitive thrust into witness protection after witnessing a murder tied to a powerful political figure, and Sheriff Lou Harman, a woman whose life is defined by structure, solitude, and an unwavering sense of duty. Their dynamic is as compelling as it is electrifying, Ava’s sharp wit and warmth slowly chipping away at Lou’s carefully maintained defenses, creating a relationship that simmers with slow-burning intensity.
Alexandra’s character work is nothing short of exquisite. Both Ava and Lou are richly developed, imbued with layers of vulnerability, resilience, and undeniable magnetism. Their interactions feel organic, their chemistry electric, and their individual arcs deeply satisfying. The town of Cedar Falls, too, becomes more than just a setting, it breathes with its own quiet menace and rugged charm, a place of both refuge and lurking danger.
The novel’s pacing is expertly handled, with the tension mounting in a way that keeps readers perpetually on edge. Alexandra deftly balances moments of tender introspection with sequences of gripping suspense, ensuring that neither the romance nor the thriller elements overshadow the other. The prose is fluid, evocative, and often poetic, drawing readers deeper into the world she has so carefully crafted.
If there is one minor drawback, it is the at-times subtle transition between the protagonists’ perspectives. While both Ava and Lou’s voices are distinct, a more clearly delineated shift in POV would have further enhanced the reading experience, offering even greater immersion into their respective inner worlds. However, this is a small quibble in an otherwise exceptional novel.
Blood and Muscle is a triumph, an intoxicating blend of romance, intrigue, and raw emotion. It is a testament to the power of resilience, the fragility of trust, and the courage it takes to love in the face of uncertainty. Elle Alexandra has crafted a story that lingers long after the final page, making this a must-read for fans of sapphic fiction who crave both heart-pounding suspense and soul-stirring romance.

Ava witnesses a murder of a congressman and is forced into witness protection and relocated to Cedar falls. This is where she meets sheriff Lou. Chapter 1 had me quickly drawn in as it starts with Ava witnessing the murder after her shift. The tension was palpable. The writing was perfect.
I really enjoyed this book. The crime/mystery along with the romance made the story intriguing. Lou and Ava slowly start to develop a beautiful relationship with undeniable chemistry. There is just enough angst that had me stuck wanting to know how the book was going to end. Towards the middle of the book we get Lou’s backstory which pulled at my heartstrings. She went through so much as a child which explained why she was so closed off as an adult. The spice was sweet and well written. This book gave me all the feels. It’s fun, mysterious, intense, emotional and hot. I feel so much happened in 300 pages and I still craved more. The ending was wrapped up perfectly with a HEA. Lastly, I was so happy to see chapters titles! Seems to be a rare occurrence these days.

Perfect debut novel!
Format: Kindle
I had no idea this was Ms. Elle's first official debut! Story was lovely and the flow harmonious...the only indication of the author being British was the reference to an already described sweater as a jumper...but since I love British authors it only added to the charm. No real angst and not really what I would classify as a slow-burn (rather a realistic relationship timeline) made for a quick read! Can't wait to read what she writes next!!

Great read.
Format: Kindle
Once I started this book I kept reading. I enjoyed the story and complex issue bys with both characters, especially with the never having been with another woman for Lou. In this day of self publishing I commend you there were no errors. I will, anxiously, await your next body of work. Thank you for the great read.
