The synopsis for Touching Melody hooked me immediately! For those of you who know me or have read this blog for a little while (thanks, by the way, you guys are awesome!), you'll know how much I love music. It's always one of my favorite things to read about because it's also one of my favorite things in real life. You know, the place outside of books. Because I checked, and it really does exist.
Maddie Martin's first weekend at college is nothing like she's used to.
It's wild, like the wilderness on which the University of Bellam Springs
sits. Roped into going to a frat party, she literally runs into Kyle
Hadley. The boy she's loved since she was nine. The boy she promised all
of her firsts to. But that was before his father killed her parents.
Determined to stay away from him, she throws herself into her music. Practicing piano eases her heavy heart, calms the sadness, and pushes away images of Kyle's face.
Until it doesn't.
Her music professor asks her to play a duet for their annual Graduation Gala. Doing so means she'll be assured another full ride scholarship. It's an opportunity she can't pass up.
But Kyle is the other half of the duet. And that means hours and hours of practicing.
Days and months of seclusion - just the two of them. And it's more than just music. It's passion like Maddie never believed was possible.
The inevitable happens. She falls in love with him all over again.
But, will loving him be enough to erase all the hate in her heart for his father? Can she look at him, and not see the evil in his family tree?
And maybe it's all a set up. Maybe Kyle is only pretending to care so he can finish what his father started, and kill her too.

Touching Melody releases June 2013!
And I also love Rashelle Workman! The first book I ever read by her was Exiled, from her Immortal Essence series. I ended up reviewing the second book, Beguiled, and you can find that review here if you're interested!
RASHELLE WORKMAN lives on a mountain with her husband, three
children, and three dogs. From her back porch she can see the city
lights and imagine... She's the bestselling author of the Dead Roses
series (Sleeping Roses is being translated into Turkish, and will be
available in print wherever Turkish books are sold in 2014), the
Immortal Essence series, and the Blood and Snow series.
Thank you for participating in TOUCHING MELODY's cover reveal. I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteps: Thanks for the review of BEGUILED as well. Holy helker, you're awesome. =)
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help out on both counts!
