WHEN THE MUSIC ENDS
by Simone Beaudelaire
BLURB:
What is the sound of a broken heart? How does a fated love rise from a pleasant note to a passionate symphony?
Budding musician Erin James knows all too well the noise of neglect and tragedy, and that her infatuation with her best friend Sheridan’s older brother, Sean, is doomed never to blossom into something more.
Young builder Sean Murphy isn’t really in the market for a relationship. He’s more interested in helping build his father’s construction company. Even if he were, his sister’s best friend isn’t even on his radar.
That is, until Sheridan plays matchmaker. A pity date quickly flares into irresistible passion. But as their love reaches a crescendo, personal tragedies and impossible decisions threaten to end their harmonious, unlikely romance.
When the music ends, will the troubled lovers find a way to compose a life together?
NOTE: this is a steamy romance and contains graphic sex scenes.
MY REVIEW:
The story revolves around two best friends, Sheridan and Erin, who are almost like sisters. During the homecoming dance, events happen that change both of their lives. Danny’s for the worst. As the story progresses, Erin becomes the primary POV. This is a wonderful tale of young love and also the tragedies in life that either make you stronger or tear you down.
I thought the plot and the pace of the story was well done. The characters are so alive and rich; they practically walk off the pages. I really identified with Erin, being the unwanted and unworthy child. And the demons that haunt you do bring around your worst self-fulfilled prophecies.
This is a beautiful coming-of-age tale, and I look forward to seeing what happens for Sheridan in the following book. I give it my 5 feathers.
