Publisher's summary

Music speaks directly to the heart.

Two very different men face turning points in their lives after the collapse of long-term relationships....

Joel is a music teacher who knows it’s time to forget his ex and move on, while Marcus runs a lawn-mowing business and has come to Wellington to escape the reminders of a recent breakup. Although they’re opposites, when Joel and Marcus connect, their romance has the potential to hit all the right notes.

Too bad neither of them feels ready for new love.

With family and friends in common, dating is risky - things could get messy if it doesn’t work out. The sweet song of possibility draws them to each other, though, and they share a kiss following a Chopin prelude. But it will take some practice and perseverance to find their perfect harmony....

3.5 Stars

This was a sweet romance about love and family (both blood and found) and it has a nice thread of hurt/comfort woven throughout.

I liked that I was able to turn on the audio and just enjoy listening as I went about my weekend chores. Andrew McFerrin does a nice job with the narration giving each character an easily discernible voice and imbuing emotion into the performance. I thought his New Zealand accent sounded a bit more English, but that's a small niggle in the grand scheme.

Good narration, low angst, easy paced, sweet romance with likable characters and a lovely HEA.
