What Readers Are Saying...
See real reactions to the love, fame, and chaos.
There were lots of steamy scenes and the push pull of hidden feelings and endless longing. There was so much spice when they finally gave in to their passion. The spicy scenes were plentiful, well paced and so steamy hot. On the whole an entertaining and enjoyable read.

He’s her muse. She’s his melody. But fame keeps breaking the song.
“You once told me music saved you more times than you can count. And you wanted to share that with as many people as you could. And you’ve done it—even when it cost you everything. Even when it hurt.
