 Music connects us all, even if it doesn't always seem that way. While some of us prefer death metal over classical, no one has ever failed to answer the question "what's your favorite kind of music?" We all have that song that rocks us to our core; our Jam. Keeley feels her music right down to her soul. It takes her into a kind of trance, as she composes. In those moments, she takes the reader with her, getting lost in her own little world. While I loved getting an inside look into her mind, it often put a wedge into the middle of a scene. It did slow the pace down, but it made the scene more detailed. Don't read this and expect it to be a whirlwind of action. It's slow and steady, with a lot of character development. 
 When I read a book that involves music so prominently (though I wish there had been more of it), I can't help but try to find a deeper connection with it. Due to my own imaginative shortcomings, I always have the most difficult time coming up with suitable music in my head. On that note (pun intended), take a look at the playlist down below. I wish I had seen that list before I had read the book! It would have made it easier to imagine. 
 In between the important plot, are the more important sex scenes. ;) Talk about smoldering! Not every scene was believable (the backseat of a car has NEVER been so spacious when I tried fooling around in them) but it didn't matter! There was some serious chemistry between Keeley and Jude. Speaking of Jude... when I first read that this book was for fans of Jamie McGuire I thought, "My, those are some big claims." Damned if I wasn't schooled! They weren't kidding! Jude may not be quite as aggressive as Travis Maddox, but he has an Alpha Male streak to him a mile wide. If you're left wondering what to read after BD, head on over to Blue Notes. You're welcome.
