3.5 starsI have read quite a few books over the past year about rockers, rock bands and their lifestyles.  Ariel's Song by Evie Knight tweaks this genre a little bit with the tortured hero being a classical violinist who is able to rock with the best of them. Colin Hoskins is a master violinist and composer. He stopped performing and became a recluse when he was a suspect and blamed by the press for his fiance's death.The heroine, Ariel Parks, is a bankrupt heiress.  Her funds are frozen, her brother is missing and she has no place to go. She is also Colin's biggest fan.  Needing money desperately to survive and fund her flight home to the states, she agrees to work as Colin's personal assistant, a job nobody wants because of his association with his fiance's death. Ariel's primary function is to make sure Colin gets to rehearsals.  She also handles some of the paperwork involved with his comeback concert in New York City.Ariel and Colin fall in lust, which eventually evolves into something more. However, many obstacles stand in their way of happiness. Ariel turns Colin's world upside down and slowly but surely, he faces his demons. Through Colin's manager Logan, Ariel is able to make some headway on her financial status and her brother's location.This book is chock full of twists, surprises and discoveries, which I found to be excessive at times. The characters are well developed and interesting. All the sex scenes are hot, but there is one in particular that causes heart palpitations. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
