From Heartbreak to Harmony
After young music teacher Mirren Elphinstone’s entitled
boyfriend dumps her and walks out on local band Tavrach, Mirren has a score to
settle. Despite her usually sunny, helpful nature, she decides auditioning for
the vacant lead singer role is the perfect way to get payback.
Tavrach’s
enigmatic frontman, Adam Cormac, is desperate. With the Autumn Gold Festival
fast approaching, the band needs a new lead singer – and fast. When only one
hopeful turns up – a golden-haired beauty with the voice of an angel – Adam
takes a chance.
He soon discovers Mirren is the ex of the sneaky band member
who not only abandoned them but stole some of Adam’s compositions. Tempers
flare, until the tension between Adam and Mirren turns electric. What began as
revenge quickly explodes into an attraction as powerful as their duets – but
Adam’s been burned too often to risk his heart lightly.
If they want a chance
to turn heartbreak into harmony, Adam must believe he’s more than a stopgap,
while Mirren must choose love on her own terms. Only then can they strike a
lasting chord before the curtain falls.
My Thoughts
This is one of my favourite Glenbriar stories. The two central characters are so different and yet their relationship is quite believable. Mirren is getting over a break-up from her ex who it turns out was quite an unpleasant and controlling sort of man. He has betrayed his bandmates by stealing a bunch of their new material and his treatment of Mirren is needlessly cruel. Adam on the other hand might look like a rock god to his fans, but actually he is a respondible and loving father to his two sons who he has been the full time parent for after both their mothers opted out of the domestic life. This has left him with trust issues and a fear of getting involved again.
Music draws them together and is a way fort them both to communicate and express their emotions. When Mirren auditions to be a new member of Tavroch, Adam's band, he is astounded at her talent and musicality. The other band members can also see the undeniable chemistry between the two. This is a fast paced story which shows you happy and warm families as well as firm friendships. You are willing things to work out for both Mirren and Adam throughout . If you love the Glenbriar series, you will not be disappointed.
In short: hitting the right note
