Publisher's Summary

From USA Today Bestselling Author Devney Perry comes a single dad, second chance rock star romance

From the moment Quinn Montgomery sat behind her first snare and cymbal set, she was destined for fame and glory. As Hush Note’s infamous female drummer, she sets the rhythm for the band’s chart-toppings hits. When people tap their feet to their music, it’s to her pulse.  

Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops. 

When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she’s paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn’t able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future. 

If they can mend their rifts and find solace in the refrains.

How could anyone judge Her?

Her man and family are total A$$holes. Seriously like let’s not support her AT ALL, shun her, KNOW that they’re a$$holes themselves but yet still harbor some internal anger towards the heroine?? After she tried to reach out also??? I just can’t. I get the last chance trope, it’s written well, but nothing especially magnificent.

So inspiring

Amazing writing and story. I want to be a part of this couple. I felt their love hopes and dreams. I was carried away into this world.

Rifts & Refrains

Quinn left behind her hometown, family, and her only regret, Graham, to become the drummer for the popular band Hush Note. When family tragedy hits, she is forced to return to Montana to pay her respects. Quinn returns home to a cold welcome from her family and Graham which causes her to see everything she has missed out on. Not wanting to miss out on anymore she is determined to mend all of the rifts and refrain from returning to the past.

I smiled, laughed and even shed a tear during this amazingly emotional story from Devney Perry. I loved the meddling the families, including Quinn's dead grandma, did to push them back together. Colin was quite the little burst of energy that made you feel exhausted after his little bursts in and out of the story.

I highly recommend this story to everyone especially if second chance romance is your kryptonite as it is slowly becoming mine.

Rifts & Refrains (Hush Note #2) is a second chance rockstar romance from Devney Perry that can be read as a standalone or as part of the series.

Audio: Another great read by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell. I especially have come to love Joe's impressions of kids as he gets so energetic.

Awsome

Well the only thing I can say is as much as I loved the first book in this trilogy. This story was even better and I didn't think it could be. Devney out did herself in bringing Quinn to life on these pages. This story gives you EVERYTHING. Our narrators who are always fantastic.... couldn't have been more perfect in these roles. I wish that there was a way to give this book and audio 10 stars. Enjoy this fantastic story...you won't be disappointed.

Quinn won me over!

"He was the towering oak tree, planted firmly in the earth. I was the bird, flying in the sky above, and the wind had carried me too far to turn back now."

I wasn’t so sure I’d like Quinn, the drummer of Hush Note. In Lies & Lullabies, she was a little ….shall we say, Prickly? But in the end, I really loved the female rocker.

After 9 years away, Quinn had to go back to her small town in Montana to say goodbye to the person she loved most, her Nan. When she left town, she not only left her judgmental family behind, she left the love of her life. Graham never fell out of love with Quinn, despite having a child with another woman. Now the father of a 7-year-old, Graham has a lot more at stake. Can the small-town single dad really be with a rock star?

Likes:

•Quinn quickly made me get over my dislike, and I loved her.
•Lots of deep family connections to be mended.
•Colon, Graham’s son, stole the show.
•The chemistry and connection were there from the start.

Dislikes:

•I had none.

Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were wonderful in their roles and they brought the book to life. I definitely recommend listening to this one.

Rating: 4.5 Stars, 3.5 Heat, 5 Narration

So much better than the first

While the first in this series was written by another author- Devney blew Quinn and Graham’s story out of the water. It was so much deeper and more depth in the characters rather than just a rock star story. This was one of her best yet. Loved it!

Really good book

I really enjoyed this book. What a great story and the narration was awesome. I’m really looking forward to the next book in this series. Great Job Devney

Quinn and Graham ❤️

I love this story. Quinn is a bad ass drummer in the band Hush Notes, and she is too busy for her family. She left Graham nine years ago in her hometown, who was the love of her life to pursue her dreams to be a rockstar drummer. She kept in touch with her grandmother, Nan. When her Nan passes away she returns to her hometown in Montana where she is reunited with her family and has to face her troublesome past. While Quinn is there she reignites an old flame with her love and heals old wounds. Joe Arden in Maxine Mitchell narrate this novel and are fantastic. This book gave me all the feels and I just loved It. Devney Perry never disappoints.

Loving this series

My only complaint about this book was the name Graham in a book with a lot of talk about Quinn’s grandmother. At least in audiobook format it threw me a few times because a lot of people call their Grandmother Gram for short. It seems silly, but any other name would have been less confusing.

Heart breaking and beautiful with a perfect happily ever after!

I loved ever second of this story, even the heart breaking parts that had me in tears! Devney Perry never disappoints. This is such a fun series! I can’t wait to start Nixon’s story! I loved the narration!
