Not Another Love Song

De: Julie Soto

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Oliver Clarke

Two string players fight their attraction for each other as they compete for center stage in this spicy and emotional romance from USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto.

When professional—and self-taught—violinist Gwen Jackson plays, she disappears into the peaks and valleys of each song, a quiet passion that never quite explodes into pure emotion. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius . . . and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

Not only did it take Xander a year to notice that he and Gwen both play in the Manhattan Pops, but he also always seems to have the perfect cutting criticism about her technique. When Gwen is offered the role of first chair of the orchestra, something Xander has secretly coveted for years, their existing hostility goes up a notch. Yet, despite her best efforts, Gwen can’t ignore the sizzling chemistry between them.

Forced to work more closely with each other, they can’t help exploring their attraction. As they begin to compose and play songs together, it’s clear that their powerful connection could make for a performance that would blow everyone’s minds. Suddenly, they’re box office dynamite, and the fragile romance growing between them is in danger of being crushed beneath a publicity stunt.

Beautiful Writing

Beautifully written, love the way the music developed the love story. Narration matched the characters, well done.

God I love this book, this audio, just everything.

This book is just so good. I’m reminded of that every time I read or listen to it. The tension is written SO WELL. I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up playing music, but the scenes where they communicate through music, omg. I die. Those scenes make my heart absolutely THROB.

My only wish is that I wish I had more of Alex’s POV, but it’s really okay that we don’t. His chapters are really impactful.

I also just have to say, the way anxiety is written in this book is really heart wrenching.. coming from someone who suffers from extreme anxiety. I get so frustrated at certain parts, but then totally relate to them at the same time. It felt so real in that way.

I just adore this book. I come back to it kind of often because I love the way the romance is written. Highly recommend.

Julie Soto strikes again!

After falling in love with Soto’s writing style in Forget me Not, I've been anxiously awaiting another book and it did not disappoint!! I was immersed on the story from the beginning and as an artist and former orchestra kid, the passion for music shown by these characters made my heart sing. Soto captured the way music can show emotion and encourage deep connection between people, and the theme of it throughout the book contributed to capturing Alex and Gwen’s relationship in a way it couldn’t without it. I adore the characters, the cameos of Ama and Elliot, and the depiction of how the music industry is complex and the importance of copyright. The friendships depicted in the book warmed my heart and made me laugh. I enjoyed the display of healthy and playful relationships and chosen families. Thank you for another incredible book I’ll be rereading over and over! Can’t wait for the next one :)

Emotional and lovely story telling!

Love the plot line and the depth of characters. So many scenes are so believable and realistic

Great story!

Loved it. Even better than Julie Soto’s first book in my opinion. Beautiful love story and wonderfully told with a an interesting backdrop of music, musicians, and the symphony.
