To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I am OBSESSED! It's been awhile since I binge read a book, but I found myself unable to put this one down. 

Julie Soto is one of my favorite authors and the stories she writes never fail to hook me. How she turns a budding romance between a violinist and a cellist into a passionate, steamy, tension-filled love affair is on a whole other level. Gwen and Alex's connection with music and how they play both their instruments was beautifully described that I can hear their euphonious duet come off the pages.

I loved both Gwen and Alex individually and together. The chemistry between them was nonstop. And the spice was incredibly spicy, like cover worthy spicy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I cannot wait to get a physical copy once this hits the shelves! Thank you to NetGalley and Forever for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—”๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐Ÿณ/๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฒ!
