I bought Please Don't Stop The Music on my birthday, 1st February, which also was the publication date of this book. I really enjoyed reading it too as it was set in York one of my favourite cities and only 1/2 drive from my home town. There were many twists and turns and secrets which came out throughout my read. I want a Ben in my life, he sounds gorgeous though a bit skinny! I'm not mentioning anything else as i really don't want to spoil any of this book for the readers. All i'll say is that i'm going to be looking out for more of Jane Loverings books to download to my kindle as i really REALLY enjoyed this fantastic book. Without a doubt, the best impulse buy of the past twelve months. A positive review and an intriguing blurb led me to hope for a slightly unusual romantic mystery. A few pages into the book I realised that it was far, far more. Behind the smooth, captivating development of the plot and characters lies a firm, confident and very skilled hand. Ms Lovering pulls off some extraordinary technical feats with such ease and panache that they almost slip by unnoticed. Holding back the revelation of the first-person narrator's dark secret for so long without irritating or annoying the reader was masterly, as was adding a second POV in the form of brief diary entries -- just short enough to provide a foil to the main narrative without distracting from it. And to juggle with so many traumatised personalities while keeping the dialogue completely natural -- the humour is spot-on and totally unforced, not the canned-laughter quips that infest so many recent novels. In attempting to describe my reaction to this book, the word 'real' keeps intruding. Most books in this genre require some suspension of disbelief, some acceptance of stereotyped characters and situations. This book was different. The people and the places were utterly convincing. I was tempted to award this book 4 stars, if for no other reason than there must have been something lacking, somewhere. But after a few minutes' reflection, I realised that the book stands complete, all loose ends tied off, all beautifully balanced. Five stars it is. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A desperate jewelry designer falls for a mysterious musician in "a real gem of a story that completely caught me by surprise" (Romance Junkies). After a rough patch that she doesn't like to talk about, Jemima Hutton is determined to build a successful new life. Unfortunately, her handmade jewelry business is on the edge of ruin. That is, until the enigmatic Ben Davies offers to stock her handmade belt buckles in his guitar shop and things soon start looking up. But Ben has his own secrets he'd prefer to keep quiet. When Jemima finds out he used to be the front man of a hugely successful indie band, she wants to know more. Like why did he desert the band on their US tour? And why is he now a semi-recluse? But the curiosity is mutual--which means that Jemima's own secret is no longer safe. And only by trusting one another will Ben and Jemima be able to rock together, in this witty tale that earned RoNA Awards for both Best Romantic Comedy Novel and Romantic Novel of the Year.
