Publisher's summary

The vows are just the beginning…

For Natalie, being the wife to the most sought-after rock star on the planet has its privileges, but in the last year, she's been put through the wringer as far as the pitfalls.

When Easton summons her to Mexico for a second-anniversary honeymoon vacation in the very place that brought them back together, Natalie becomes filled with hope to close the space between them…along with a special request—a request that leads them into a day-long exploration of sorting through their past while trying to imagine the rest of their future together.

They'll soon recognize that to keep what they have, they'll have to rediscover each other. With a little reminder from both their parents, they'll realize the fight to keep what they hold most sacred begins after I do.

Bittersweet Melody is a novella that must be listened to after finishing Drive and Reverse.

Critic reviews

"Arden's and Mitchell's fluid cadences and spot-on timing create the perfect amount of tension and heat between the couple. Mitchell's expressive portrayal of Natalie's doubts and vulnerabilities is moving, while Arden's performance of Easton is heartfelt and memorable. Listeners will be satisfied with the happily-ever-after." —AudioFile Magazine

A little extra

It’s hard to let go of a good story and characters. Thankfully we got just a little more of this one. Only made better by the amazing performance.

Beautiful story

This was an amazing novella, it was so good to have a glimpse of the characters after some time has passed since the end of Reverse. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell made this a beautiful and very emotional story with their performances.

Perfect ending

This was the perfect ending to Easton and Natalie’s story while furthering the characters from the first book. I only hope Ryan and Benji’s story is next.
