NadeneI received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I enjoyed Rifts and Refrain, but Muses and Melodies took my breath away. In this installment Yarros delivered a story that wreaked havoc with my emotions. The good thing it had me smiling at the end. Nixon stole steal a piece of your heart. He may be a badass on the guitar, but beneath all that lay a broken soul. He tried to mask his pain with alcohol, prescription drugs and sex. However, he recognized this was not the answer and he needed to get his life together for his sake and that of the band and without anyone's intervention he took the necessary steps. Nixon showed tremendous growth throughout the story. Learning of the events that led to him tumbling down this hole broke my heart. He struggled daily, with the many temptations associated with his world but he remained steadfast and determined not to revert to his old ways. Falling love gave him an extra boost. The chemistry between him and Zoe flew off the charts. The idea of her being there to keep tabs on him, did not sit well with either of them, but their emotions had other plans. He tried to rile her up, but she pushed right back. Soon they found themselves enjoying each other company. Their journey has a couple encountered several roadblocks, which came as no surprise in light of Nixon's struggles. So, yes there is angst but it fits and added authenticity to the story. One of the hardest things is to show someone who feels they are not worthy that they deserved to be loved. Zoe faced this challenge with Nixon, but she never gave up on him. The story was not all sad. Yarros injected humour in the most appropriate circumstances. Moments, which had me giggling from time to time, especially the scene featuring Zoe's ex. Narration Carly Robins and Tim Paige narrated. While I am familiar with Carly Robins as a narrator, this is my first time listening to Tim Paige. They both did a wonderful job with this story. Their tone, portrayal of the characters and emphasis on the emotional aspects of the story amplified the listening experience. Conclusion/Recommendation This is my first experience with the author and I doubt it will be the last. Muses and Melodies was a fitting conclusion to the series and one I would recommend to fans of emotional love stories.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
