Maestro

A Love Story

De: Auden Dar

Narrado por: Kylie Stewart, Alastair Haynesbridge

For some, first love is a fleeting spark heralding the greater loves to come. For others, first love is the greatest love. The only love.

When a music audition at the world-renowned LaGuardia Arts High School brings together two thirteen-year-olds, unassuming Aurelia Ramirez Preston and confident Chadwick David, the serendipitous encounter becomes an unbreakable friendship.

A friendship develops into an unyielding love—a love spanning decades and continents.

With New York City as their playground, best friends Chad and Aurelia navigate the turbulence of adolescence. They blossom, and so does their love. An awkward first date turns into a night of intoxicating kisses and together, they lose their innocence.

Years later, Chad is “Maestro,” the tattooed virtuoso, the James Dean of classical music.

And Aurelia is an accomplished cellist. His muse. The enduring love behind his greatness.

But when the maestro falters, even for a moment, the most beautiful symphony can spiral into unrelenting chaos. And the greatest of loves can become the most tragic heartbreak.

Maestro is a symphony of words, four movements filled with longing, secrets, betrayal, and the grace of forgiveness.

A sweeping decades long romance

OMG, where to begin with this incredible story! I went in somewhat blind to this book and a part of me is really happy that I did, because if I had known about the roller coaster I was about to go on, I may not have read this story.

Trust me when I say that you will want to throw your kindle across the room at times while reading. The amount of frustration I felt from the lack of communication was astounding and I do not like feeling this while reading anything. All I can say is, stay reading this story, you will honestly be happy that you, like Chad and Aurelia, persevered and found this HEA!

I read this ebook and then listened to the audiobook and I definitely enjoyed both narrator’s voices. I felt that they brought all of these characters to story to life and brought you into their lives 🎧❤️🎧

Emotional. Incredible. Buildup that pays off

I loved Maestro. I felt like I read an entire series in just this one book. It made me feel all of the emotions from the teen angst to the adult yearning and the need for things to work out. I loved the love both the MMC and FMC had for each other it truly felt unconditional. Of course there are things that I didn’t like but it only made it feel more realistic like I could drop myself right into their situation. The cover is misleading and has way more emotional depth than it would imply. Don’t skip this one!!! It will be a tough one to compete with.

Beautiful love story!!

I truly loved this story!! Could not stop listening! Both characters made me so mad at times,but always brought me back to loving them both!! Definitely worth a credit!!!

Emotional roller coaster

Such a good book but it pretty much made me cry the entire time. Terrible case of bad timing and different paths.

Kylie Stewart and Alastair Haynesbridge give audible life to Auden Dar’s beautifully descriptive words!

Auden Dar’s “Maestro:A Love Story” just can’t be given enough love! This book sets the bar for what a romance novel should be. Auden brings the pages to life with her beautifully descriptive words, vivid imagery, complex characters and emotions that you don’t just read but experience. Chad and Aurelia’s childhood friendship matures as they do and develops into a passion like no other; however, it’s not a short excursion to arrive there. It’s a lifelong journey requiring determination and grit to overcome obstacles that threaten to tear them apart. This is not just a love story but a life story.

This is my first time listening to an audiobook and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I read quickly and was concerned that the narration might move too slowly or be too monotone to keep my attention; however, Kylie Stewart and Alastair Haynesbridge breathe audible life into Aurelia and Chad with perfection. Their tone and inflection convey each and every thought, action and emotion with such ease that I became completely immersed into this story. They allow the reader to experience all the happiness, sadness, joy, anger, hope, loss, desperation, and passion that Auden puts into her work. Their collaboration is an ultimate success!

“Maestro:A Love Story” is a definite must-read and highly encouraged re-read and now a must-listen to audiobook.
