Review
I think this book was more about love for the music than a romance itself. The characters were very passionate about music and skilled at expressing emotions through music. Even when they were having sex they used music terms to express the moment. And reading about people getting horny over a symphony was a huge turn off for me. I couldn’t tell if they were actually falling in love to each other’s persona or to the music they played together. The relationships felt off and forced. I have no idea why I decided to read this as I didn’t like her Forget Me Not but oh well, here I am.
“Let me make love to you onstage every night because it’s the most alive l’ve felt in ten years.”
“[his eyes] swept over her, dragging arpeggios across her breasts, tumbling triplets down her sides, and lingering legatos into her eyes”

Two string players fight their attraction for each other as they compete for center stage in this spicy and emotional romance.
Gwen Jackson and Xander Thorne are both musical prodigies, but each has had very different paths to success. Xander was born into classical music royalty, while Gwen had a natural ear for music that was nurtured by a kind shop owner.
After Gwen performs at his friend’s wedding, she’s mortified when she realizes Xander has no clue who she is—despite having worked together for a year at the Pops Orchestra. But she’s more furious that he arrogantly critiques her performance.
When Gwen is offered the role of First Chair of the orchestra, something Xander had secretly coveted for years, their existing hostility goes up a notch. But their respect for each other’s music is undeniable, and their onstage chemistry off the scale. As they begin to explore their feelings for one another, suddenly they’re box office dynamite and the fragile romance that’s growing between them is in danger of being crushed beneath a publicity stunt…
