Rating: 5 out of 5

Kellen Jamison is a tortured soul who has suffered in near silence for the past 5 years. He promised his heart and soul to Sara only to lose her to cancer. Since her death, he hasn't been able to move on to be with another woman. When he revisits his past he is lulled by a piano that seems to set his heart and ease. Dawn is a composer who seems to have writers block when she sees the image of Kellen outside her window on a stormy night. As the two wait out the storm together both share more then they ever expected they would, or could. Could Dawn be the light that pulls Kellen from his darkness or will guilt and his overwhelming feeling of obligation hold him to his past promises.I think this Sole Regret book is my favorite so far. Kellen not only had the sad backstory of his sweetheart dying of breast cancer, but we get to learn more about his troubled past from his teenage years. When this information is shared, the reader gets to see more of his relationship with Owen. They have such a bond so it was nice to see how it all began with them.As usual, Cunning has a way of making all possible settings sexy, now including a piano. Love scenes are always steamy and leave you wanting more! I've always wished these books weren't so much of a novella so I could read more about my favorite rockers.I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed by having Dawn's character make such quick decision and put them into action right away. That part didn't feel as realistic. Her not being freaked out by a shirtless, inked up, hottie standing outside her window in the middle of a storm - yes that I found realistic. Her making and acting upon snap decision, not so much. I know, I'm stupid like that. *rolls eyes*
