Lennon Carter first saw my face with his hand around my throat.
This book hit so many chords with me, I almost can’t even put words together to describe my feelings. When you throw everything I love in to a book, you’ve got my attention. But when the story is so captivating I’m dreaming about it…clearly I’m a goner.
Lennon is…everything. He’s hot, eccentric, a musician, teacher, and a survivor. After escaping his childhood town to become a member of the Florida Symphony, he’s asked to return to the prestigious arts school he graduated from to judge potential scholarship recipients. But he soon realizes that not only was returning to his old town stirring up old memories, but teaching a particular student could threaten everything.
Amelia is…surviving. She’s young, naive at times, strong at others, passionate and pure. Growing up the daughter of teacher/musicians, she quickly learned to love the piano. After losing her Mother at a young age, the family dynamics quickly changed, leaving her and her brother with most of the responsibilities. But she still has music. At least she hopes she does. Hopefully she’ll get this scholarship she’s been dreaming about.
This could quite honestly be the new Erotic Cinderella story for me. Is Lennon an ass at times? Duh, Lily wrote this. But he’s also Prince Charming. Is Amelia a bit of a damsel in distress? Sort of, again, Lily wrote this. But she sure is a fighter. This is all I’m saying about the characters because in order to truly love a Lily book, you need to go in as blind as possible.
Despite the fact that this story was off the hook, crazy compelling, I have to mention the music. If you’re not familiar with symphony pieces, I highly recommend the following. Lily provides a “Music Index”. Create a playlist with these pieces. Please. I beg you. Each and every one of these pieces perfectly depict each and every moment it’s played within the story. EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! You will feel the emotions being describes so much more. I promise!
This is a student/teacher romance and one of my favorites. If you have ever read a Lily White book you know that once you pick it up you are not going to be able to put it down. This book is nothing short of amazing. Your gonna love Amelia and Lennon. To say these two have amazing chemistry is a understatement. I so do not want to give anything away. I will tell you that when your reading the book make sure you read the headers on the top of the chapters. They are very important to the story.
