Resumen del Editor

A secretive artist with a haunted past and a young woman escaping a life that proved to be a lie find their destinies entwined. Victim of a terrible accident, famed composer and pianist Graham Yardley loses sight, heart and soul. Wealth and fame mean nothing after the devastating loss of her beloved music; her life is reduced to silence, darkness, and bitter regret. She retreats to a bleak mansion atop windswept cliffs, her once consuming passions are now a source of anguish and fear. Then Anna, a lost woman seeking a place in the world, comes into her life and awakens feelings she thought were dead forever.

A fragile melody of love is played between these damaged souls, a song made sweeter and stronger by the day. But will their blossoming romance be destroyed by an outsider's greed or will it succumb to the discord of Graham's tormented heart? Can Graham find happiness with Anna, caught up in the fiery overtures and darkly gothic strains of Love's Melody Lost?

Read it, don't listen to it

Engaging story. Reminded me of the book "Making a Come Back"

A good story still needs a narrator that doesn't sound like they are making cookies during a sex scene and who takes a breathe between paragraphs.

The performance leaves much to be desired

I enjoyed the story, but the performance sounded flat and monotone, too fast and teleprompter like to generate any meaningful inflection, and the emotions were entirely skipped over.

Read the book, don't listen.

Good book not great narrator

I really enjoy this book. I've read it several times I print and listed to the audiobook a couple of times now. Unfortunately, the narrator is pretty bad...

Killed by the narrator...

The story was nice but the narrator killed it (and not in a good way). She gave the wrong expressions at the wrong time and to the wrong parts of the story. The emotions in her reading were off and it ruined the story for me. (To the author). Stick with Abby Craden or Nicole Zanzarella, they bring your stories and characters to life.

Tough Story

I listened to a similar story a few years ago. This one had quite a bit of guilt and confusion preventing love's peace.
I really liked the narrator's voice and the characters were clear. I did feel out of breath with the pace of the reading, though. There were several scenes where the moment's tenderness was lost by the rushing of the words. Otherwise, the tone and tambour were great.

Good story

This was a good story. The MCs were wonderful. The description of Yardley house was magnificent. The narrator was a tad fast in her reading but doable. Overall, a good book.

great

loved it. kept me curious throughout the entire story. going to look for more from this author.

one of the greatest books by Radclyffe

This book is one of my favourite in the ganre. Unfortunately the narrator who has a great voice had not grasp the tempo of the story and failed to convey the well described feelings.

Listen on slower speed

The narrator seems to be in a huge hurry to get through the story. Story is okay, probably better in print. It was refreshing not to have anything harden on contact in a radclyffe book for once.

Will there be a sequel?

Loved the story, knew that I will love it. But the narrator was in a hurry, I felt like shouting to her”hey, Paige where are you running? Who is perusing you?”
Well I didn’t 😂
I think that the Voice she has is very good, even if she chose this alarmed higher pitch Voice for Anna which I didn’t care for.
So next time Paige, slow down just a little and don’t use this higher pitch for an adult even if she is younger than the main character
Last, I am looking forward to more books like that from Radclyffe.
