Review: The story of Karen and Connor
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 6, 2013
In Harmony is the story of Karen and Connor. Karen is a cellist, but she's uncomfortable being in the spotlight. Karen's very serious; she's all about schedules and alarms and planning. I could relate to her totally because of that. I'm a total Type A person.  She's innocent, but sexual, if that makes any sense. She loves to read "bodice rippers" and has plenty of fantasies of her own, she just hasn't experienced that kind of passion for herself. Yet. Karen's thrown together with Connor in a moment of desperation. She needs a recital partner. He's her only option.Connor is a hot Irish bad boy. He plays rock guitar. He's about to flunk out of Fenbrook Academy. Karen could be his saving grace, but only if he can get serious and they can find a way to work together. As you would expect, there's more to Connor and his story than meets the eye. The guy underneath the bad boy exterior is keeping a pretty serious secret.Karen and Connor have an insane amount of chemistry. They're hot together and the sexy scenes in this book are really, really steamy. ::fans self:: Their music serves as foreplay. It's wickedly hot. Their connection is more than just physical, however. They're good for each other. He helps her find herself and I suppose you could say she does the same for him.I connected with the characters in this novel so much more than I did with those in Dance for Me, the first novel in this series. While the first book felt horribly rushed and bordering on unbelievable to me, the pace of this one was nearly perfect. Girl meets boy. Girl lusts after boy. Girl and boy get thrown together by some outside force and they begin to get to know each other better, learn more about the true person underneath the nerdy, awkward and manwhoreish exterior. Then things get really fun. Its realistic and believable.***I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ***
