**originally at[...]**A mix of fresh, unique characters and realistic drama made me love Playing the Maestro.  Both main characters are musicians, which readers don't see very often. It's a nice change from the normal alpha males or regular pushover heroines that we see in romances.Melody Mires is a flutist in the Easthampton Orchestra.  She lives for music and works hard at playing as principal flutist, which is hard when another member has a personal goal to get rid of her.  Melody swears off dating musicians after her bad luck in the past.Then steps in her new boss, Wolf Braun, the new conductor.  My favorite part about Wolf is not his name, which I love by the way (named after Mozart), but the fact that he resembles Thor or Chris Hemsworth. Smoking Hot! At first glance, Wolf seems arrogant, self-centered and vindictive. After Melody gets to know him, she soon realizes he has a soft heart. Thor....ahem, I mean Wolf... moved to America to start a new life. Soon, he wants Melody to be a part of that. If they could just get the orchestra back on its feet first.Melody and Wolf complement each other in more ways than you can count. I just loved the way they connected almost immediately (once they were alone). When they played music or conducted, they felt for each other through the music. I loved this. As a flutist and pianist myself, I connected with the characters on so many levels.I give Playing the Maestro 4  winks, only because there were no "behind the scenes" sex scenes, which I usually must have. However, the story was good enough that I could look past that. A great love story. Don't miss!
