crtsjffrsn's review against another edition
4.0
Five years ago, Aiden Lind accepted a prestigious scholarship which took him to Europe and launched his opera career. Along the way, he also became involved with Lord Cameron Sherrington, a man he might go so far as to describe as the man of his dreams. But when Aiden catches Cam being intimate with another man, he decides it's time to move on. And he suddenly reconnects with Sam Ryan, a man with whom he shared a short-lived relationship that ended when he received his scholarship.
Sam feels bad about dropping Aiden when he did. But the truth is that he was still getting over the death of his previous partner, Nick, and Aiden was the first guy he'd been with since Nick passed. He wasn't as ready for a new relationship as he originally thought he was. But now that they've reconnected, he thinks he may be. But has he really put Nick in the past? And has Aiden really moved on from Cam and how their relationship ended? Their relationship will certainly be put to the test--and they'll just have to hope it's a test they can pass.
I have been enjoying this series since I picked up the first book. Part of it is likely that I am a musician myself, studied music in college, and those aspects of these stores just really resonate with me. But I know it also has to do with the fact that Shira Anthony always presents a compelling story with characters that draw you in and have you engrossed from the very first chapter. I've got three more books to read in this series, and I am definitely looking forward to them.

Another good read in the Blue Notes series, and for me if I had to rank them, probably number 3 by a smidge - The Melody Thief is still my favourite.
Sam is still hung up over the death of his partner over 7 years ago - the thought in my head head was, 7 years? Really? But we do find a reason for this late on in the book.
Aiden has crossed paths with Sam before but most recently after a bad break up which has just added to his off stage insecurities.
Sam and Aiden have lots of angsty moments - to the extent that I wanted to bang their heads together at the end. I didnt get a big feel for Aiden's music in this one - in the other books, musical instruments were involved so you could feel the characters interactions a bit more - Aiden's singing happens off stage if you like!
