Nocturne is an amazing novel co authored by the fabulous Andrea Randall (In the Stillness, November Blue Series) and Charles Sheehan Miles (The Last Hour, The Thompson Sister Series). I read this book in one day, couldn't put it down. This book is THAT GOOD! Their writing flowed so seemlessly I couldn't tell who stopped and the other picked up the story!The story takes place at the New England Conservatory where Gregory Fitzgerald, who is not only a well respected professor there, but the youngest cellist to be given a seat at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Savannah Marshall is "musical royalty" her mother is a world famous opera singer and her father an accomplished French horn player. Her dream is to study at the conservatory and get in on her own talent as a flutist.Gregory is part of the panel during Savannah's audition and from the first note she played he saw something in Savannah, something more than he was willing to admit. Three years later, Gregory, by a twist of fate, is now teaching the Music Theory class that Savannah and her best friend Nathan are taking. Not thrilled that Gregory was teaching this class, remembering how arrogant he was at her audition, all changed the moment he took out his Cello that first day and played Bachs Cello Suite, No 1 in G Major.From this point, Nocturne follows what happens between Gregory and Savannah over a course of 7 years. Their trials, their personal successes, their individual growth as well as the continuing attraction and growing need between the two of them."...Somehow, despite all my protective armor, despite all my focus on the music and the music alone, I'd become...infatuated. Obsessed. With Savannah Marshall.""I loved him. Not only had I kissed him, but I was falling in love with him, and I didn't know what to do about it. If anything. "With years in between and choices made, are there too many obstacles in their way now? Is there love for each other never meant to play its final piece? To find out the answers to these questions, you need to read this book!
