I received this book in exchange for my honest review.When I signed up for this tour on Itching For Books, I didn't know this was the second book. So, I started reading the first so I started reading the first to understand better the subject. Believe me when I say this, I don't know how I finished both books in almost two days. I was hooked from the first pages. Unbelievable, how Helen Newbury writes. It intrigues you from the first word and it makes you go along with the characters as if you were there. Except the stories, the covers are beautiful, I love them. I know they say don't judge the book by it's cover, but this time I am. They are perfect for the books!You have two sets of different characters in this story. They couldn't be more different, and at the same time, so perfect for each other. They complete one another. Karen it's a brilliant musician, she plays the cello and she is a student at Fenbrook Academy. Her father sheltered her and controlled all her life. She has to do everything he says. She has to do a duet in order to join the New York Philharmonic, but her partner Dan got mugged and he was severely injured. So, now she hasn't have a partner. Because of this situation, and all the stuff that happened she is lead to none other than Connor Locke.Connor it's an Irish handsome man, funny, charming and a bad boy who plays electric guitar. He doesn't attend class, he is not interested at all in school, he just loves playing his guitar and he does it perfectly! For Connor, the relationship between him and Karen at first, it's just about teasing because she is daddy's girl and an easy target. You will think, about the way he acts, that he doesn't care about anything or anyone, but the truth is, he is keeping a big secret and nobody has to find out.Even if Connor has a chance to drop out of school in order to help Karen with her duo, he doesn't mind it. And the chemistry starts building. They create the most exquisite music, a unique collaboration. That is the moment, this two start falling for each other and it couldn't come in a better time. They work hand in hand and create the duet, and to graduate. Connor starts trusting Karen, they express they're feelings in a way that will leave you breathless.I loved the romance in this book. They don't fall for one another in one second, and they don't end up in bed after the first page. You can understand a lot from Helen books. The way you can heal with the help of a loved one and to move forward and with success. As long as you have a true friend by you're side, it's easy to get over the past and the problems. In Harmony could be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading Dance For Me to get the stories right. I can't wait for the next one in the series! Thank you Helena for giving me the opportunity to read this book! And, thank you Shane Morgan for letting me apart of this tour!
