Summary

Emma Harvey is a brilliant and gifted young pianist, accepted into one of the most prestigious music conservatories in the country and prepared to do whatever it takes to accomplish her dreams of playing professionally. With a renowned jazz musician for a father and a world-famous mentor growing up, she is convinced her path is easy. Until her world is suddenly silenced when she loses her hearing.

Juliet Hamilton is a prodigy violinist. First chair for nearly 15 years in the New York Philharmonic and a professor at the conservatory, she is engulfed in her career, with no time for distractions. Especially not a beautiful young graduate student with a spirited personality that challenges her every step.

When Emma and Juliet’s paths cross in the classroom, their connection is undeniable. When their music comes together, it is unstoppable. The bond they begin to form threatens to challenge more than just their opinions of music. Friendships, ethics, and careers are tested as Emma and Juliet find themselves lost in a concerto of fiery passion and heartbreak.

Part of the music

Listening and reading this book makes me feel like I could get on stage a play the piano, I don't have any clue on classical music, but this book just brings it to life and makes you feel like you are there with the characters making music together. Story is great, sweet,heartbreaking, just magical. Get it!

Love this

So if you love classical music and sweer romance this book is for you ...Emma Harvey is a natural born musician, she's diagnosed with a disease that causes her to loose her hearing but that does not stop Emma to soar higher than the others. I admire her character, she is strong, determine, talented, swoony and despite being younger she's much more confident in pursuing the forbidden relationship with Juliet Hamilton.
Juliet Hamilton, another brilliant musician, a violinist. Her father is an original asshole and have been controlling her life since forever. Through him Juliet and Emma meet and from the first meeting, the spark is there and the anticipation gets bigger and bigger as they connect through their love in music and the uncontrollable attraction that they have for each other. Reading their scenes especially when they're playing their instruments where they bare their souls and connect through the music is truly amazing. I'll let Ms.Robbins describe it.
"It was almost as if we were the only two people, in a room of nearly a hundred, playing together. Just a piano and a violin. Two instruments that were meant to be heard together."
Joan Dukore did an amazing job at this.

Easy listening, a glimpse into the life of an orchestra.

Loved this book. I think I rate this as my best listen. Thank you. I lost myself and my troubles for a good while
