Not Another Love Song
Not Another Love Song | Julie Soto
1 post | 3 read | 1 reading
Two string players fight their attraction for each other as they compete for center stage in this spicy and emotional romance from USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto. When professionaland self-taughtviolinist Gwen Jackson plays, she disappears into the peaks and valleys of each song, a quiet passion that never quite explodes into pure emotion. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, hes all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius . . . and an attitude that borders on jerkitude. Not only did it take Xander a year to notice that he and Gwen both play in the Manhattan Pops, but he also always seems to have the perfect cutting criticism about her technique. When Gwen is offered the role of first chair of the orchestra, something Xander has secretly coveted for years, their existing hostility goes up a notch. Yet, despite her best efforts, Gwen cant ignore the sizzling chemistry between them. Forced to work more closely with each other, they cant help exploring their attraction. As they begin to compose and play songs together, its clear that their powerful connection could make for a performance that would blow everyones minds. Suddenly, theyre box office dynamite, and the fragile romance growing between them is in danger of being crushed beneath a publicity stunt.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I can‘t pinpoint what exactly made it so different, but I thought this book was much better than Soto‘s first (Forget Me Not) in this loosely connected series. This one is still a quick, spicy read, but the characters here feel more grounded and cared for, and so I also cared for them. I thought the final conflict was realistic, and even if the end was a bit quick, it all came together well.
Definitely glad I gave Soto another chance!
