My Review:

LOVED IT! Such a fantastic read. I couldn't get enough of this story. Music hold a special place in my heart so I especially loved how realistic and true the authors stayed to the lifestyle and the training that these people have to go through. The story was so full of true emotion and real situations that I don't think i have ever read a similar book that I loved more.
The characters and what they were through felt real through the book. They were portrayed to you as real people. Not perfect flaw free characters like some books do, but real. I can't stress how it made the book just that much better.
The story line as well! I Loved that it didn't try to make is a HEA that you saw coming. It had parts that broke you and parts that you just wanted to skip ahead to see where it was going. It had places where it skipped forward a few years, and places where you stayed in that time frame for a while. I was like living a life with the characters.
The authors also tackled some sensitive topics in a very smooth way. It wasn't in your face, and when it was it was in a realistic manner. The characters reacted as you or I would to such events.
Overall fantastic book. I can't seem to put into words how much I enjoyed reading it. Oh goodness and the Sex. Even with this not being a huge thing in the book, the scenes were tasteful and of immensely full of emotion.
I swear you felt the same level of love when you were reading about the music as when you were reading about the characters. Overall just wonderfully written and a great story to really fall into. If I could rate it above 5 I would. I feel I could go on and on about it but I just can't stews enough what a Great read it was. Literally Gold my friends.

Synopsis:

Savannah Marshall is a gifted flutist and daughter of musical royalty when she enrolls in the elite New England Conservatory of Music. Brilliant, eclectic and passionate, she lives music, but struggles with her plans for the future. Gregory Fitzgerald is one of the most renowned cellists of his generation. A member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and professor at the Conservatory, he is laser focused on his career to the exclusion of friends, family and especially romance. When Gregory and Savannah’s paths cross in the classroom, it threatens to challenge more than their wildly differing beliefs on music. Friendships, ethics, and careers are put on the line as Gregory and Savannah play a symphony of passion and heartbreak. In the final movement, Gregory and Savannah are handed their greatest challenge, as the loss of absolutely everything they’ve held as truths hangs in the balance.
