I really liked this book. For some reason, something about Soto's first book, Forget Me Not, didn't do it for me - I didn't really buy the main romance - but this one totally did. Soto takes us into the orchestra world and makes it extremely accessible and fun, and the chemistry between Xander and Gwen really pops off the page. This was definitely a romance that made me squeal at times - the spice was incredibly steamy, detailed, and varied, which is always nice - and I loved Gwen and Xander's personal growth. The side characters were more fleshed out than you often see in romance novels, and the world felt really fun to live in. This was just a fun book from start to finish.
