Soldier's Symphony

Heart of a Wounded Hero

De: Emma Bray

Narrado por: Emily Ann Meagher

Enjoy this steamy romance by USA Today Bestselling romance author Emma Bray…

Erik Duvall is half the man he used to be. The war scarred him—physically and mentally. The right side of his face is a reminder of the hell he went through, and he’s sure it makes him a monster. He hates what he sees in the mirror, and he’s convinced everyone else must feel the same. So, he hides away, letting his music be the only thing that keeps him from losing his mind.

A renowned composer, Erik keeps his music locked away, refusing to share it with anyone. No one can bring his symphonies to life like he can—until he hears Harper Young’s voice. It’s pure, it’s angelic—and it wrecks him. She’s everything he’s not, and the minute he hears her sing, he knows: she is the one who can perform his music.

Harper’s young, stunning, and so untouchable it hurts. But Erik can’t keep her out of his mind. He can’t keep his obsession for her buried. So, he becomes her teacher, pretending that’s enough.

He tells himself it’s enough for her to sing only for him.

But deep down, he knows it’s not. He wants her. All of her.

perfect pitch

It is a sweet story line, touching on the unlikely but still something that dreams can fulfill. Being discovered for musical talent at karaoke. Rare, but it happens. Falling in lust and love with your musical soulmate, despite physical looks. is also realistic. I appreciate these touches of realism. It helps me get engrossed in the story.

The narrator was fine. I have a mixed response to his talent. The speech did not flow smoothly, a bit stilted. However he did a good job with identifying the speaker from their POV.

LOVED IT!!!!

So freaking GOOD!! I loved Harper and Erik together! They were absolutely perfect for each other! The narration was wonderful 💜 Highly recommend!

Lovable Wounded Hero

Erik is a wonderful character! Scars mar his face, so he's a little self conscious about himself. When he hears Harper sing, he knows she's his. Harper's friends record her singing and she's an overnight sensation. Erik offers her singing lessons and they connect in a sweet, steamy way. Erik is a different lead from the author's usual creations and it was fun reading/listening to a different lead from her. Harper is adorable! She stays true to herself and is a wonderful foil to Erik.

I liked the narrator! She differentiated voices quite well and did a wonderful job giving the characters life.

Erik and Harper

Harper (h) performs a song at a karaoke bar that goes viral online, catching the attention of and enthralling Erik, a scarred composer, to the point that he wants to train her and have her sings his compositions. As Harper and Erik spend more time together, there relationship moves from being solely about music, instead encompassing much more. Lovely Phantom-esque romance with a side of hot and steamy action and some minor relationship drama.

Music of the Heart

A wounded soldier who is an amazing composer plus a shy, young, soprano who is 'discovered' by a viral video, make for some beautiful music together. True soul mates. Touches of misunderstanding, lack of self confidence, and a drop or two of villainy, make for such a good book.

Two Worlds Collide into Perfect Harmony

Any type of music book and im there for it. It's a vibe for me and that's not a music pun. I just love reading about music. Music is in my bones. It's in everyone's bones. Everyone can relate to music in someway shape or form.

Erik and Harper did a fantastic job dueting in this book. The way they complimented each other, not only in the bedroom and in music, but in life was in perfect harmony. They both deserved happiness after the tragic past both of them had.

I loved listening to this book. The voice actors voice was very smooth and nice to listen to. I'm so happy with the one Emma chose for this book.

Wish it were longer

It was a good story. I wish it were longer so we could have gotten to know the characters a little better and watched their love grow.

I have a soft spot for military

I loved the idea that both were scarred and needed healing in slightly different ways. I loved their dynamics and how their relationship grew.

From the Heart

Erik Duvall was badly scarred during his military service. Now he hides away, avoiding interactions with people and composing his amazing music. Music is the only thing that soothes his heart. When he hears a waitress, Harper Young, whose friends recorded her karaoke singing and posted it, her voice captures him immediately. Will she let him train her voice to sing his compositions? Will she be frightened by his damaged face? Or will she love him for the person he is and help him learn to accept himself through the beauty of his music?

The narrator for the audiobook version is Mackenzie Berry. She does a great job with the voices to make it easy for the listener to get an accurate idea of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood and is an enjoyable way to “read” and enjoy the book.
