Melody in Her Heart

Every heart has a melody. Following it—or ignoring it—is the difference between ordinary love and an extraordinary one.

Tabitha Brickly should be happy. A nursing career she adores, beautiful children, and a husband … she has it all. But lately, she can’t shake the feeling that something is missing. She’s tired. Emotionally drained. Empty. And her husband, the man who should be her rock, couldn’t care less. Then a chance encounter with an older—and distractingly sexy—woman changes everything…

Jennifer Jennison wasn’t looking for a new love that day at the medical center, but fate clearly had other plans. Tabby is everything she shouldn’t want in a partner—young, inexperienced, married. And none of that seems to matter when they’re in each other’s arms. All that remains to be seen is if their affair will heal her broken heart, or destroy it...

Overwhelming attraction brought them together. A world of obstacles, fears, and secrets stands between them. Can they overcome it all to claim their happily ever after? Or are they destined to remain star-crossed forever?

Straight or Confused?

Book one, Tabitha being naive, in denial of her husband's infidelity and letting him talk to her that way, I wanted to slap her.

Book two, Liz had me yelling at her in the 1st few chapters and that didn't change till almost the end. Stubborn about things she shouldn't be, an being complacent on the things she should say no too.

Bella has a life plan, and even though she has a great BF, she doesn't have a spark or is in love with him. But staying with him because he firs that plan.

Pretty much you just wanted to strangle these so calmed straight woman who find the spark with certain lesbians, but try to fight or deny the pull for men they don't truly love.

Sapphic Romances

These stories are good and love is love. the narrator did a great job. My only complaint is that one FL is a lesbian and the other is involved with a man then switches to the first FL. That's not the issue, but the men in the stories are cheating and that's the justification for the 2nd FL to switch. However, to me, having a relationship with another character is still cheating. So according to the author, two women in a relationship and having sex is not as bad as a man cheating with another woman. To me, it's both cheating and both characters in the M/F relationship are wrong. The hypocrisy sours the stories for me.

Not what I expected.

Story was good but hated that each storyline had a young woman with a man and an older lesbian as the other character. The attractions were just basic no real chemistry portrayed.

Great series

I was given this book for free.

This is a great listen and narration is good as well.
I recommend it.

Title was interesting

This was pretty bad . The story line was good but the reader used a baby voice and so hard to adjust to. Not the type of story for a baby voice.

The same exact story ... 3 times.

Book 1:
Melody In Heart

I actually liked this off the bat, thanks to likable characters, and a dramatic, rocky homelife, and a nurse female lead with lots of workplace scenes. The smexual tension at work didn’t hurt.

There’s all this turmoil and a husban I loved to hate and strife and … there are issues at work, jobs on the line … and amidst it all, there’s that ‘new/ exciting/ falling in love’ vibe and it’s so sweet.

Nurse female lead.
Rocky marriage, nasty husband, lots of animosity.
S3xism.
Attempted SA.
Cheating.
Workplace romance.
Second chance at love.

Overall:
Super cute.
Likable characters. Left me wanting more.

3.5 stars.

Book 2:
Fighting Her Touch


Age gap (19 years).
Workplace romance.
Set in a hospital.
Fun group of work friends.
Second chances.
Nurses.


Theoretically cute but the writing was … odd at times. And had some issues other times, such as regarding plausibility and continuity. And honestly, continuity issues and cheesy writing ruins it for me. Between that and the commercial smack in the middle of the content, 2 stars.

Continuity (& other) issues -
🙄 Liz is shown as going to talk to her superiors about taking time off. She gets the time off. Then she gets fired for not being at work.
🙄 Liz’s age changes several times, as does Marissa’s.
🙄 They’re described as removing their sh!rts and “pressed their br34sts together”. Is that supposed to be hot or … believable?! Yikes.
🙄 Heard, “...kissed the inside of my cl34v4ge…” Come on.


There was an advertisement right in the middle of it, (Right before Chapter 11.)
Not cool, pulled me right out of the story. Usually authors save these for their backmatter. I don’t want ‘commercials’ in my audiobooks, thanks.

Book 3:
Protecting Her Heart

Honestly, this went exactly the same way books 1 and 2 did. Young, brand new employee in this hospital has a boyfriend she doesn’t really like. Attractive coworker twice her age instantly falls for her upon sight. They live happily ever after.


Overall,
All 3 books had the potential to be cute, but with bad writing, no continuity, and the same book written 3 times just with some different names, it didn’t really work for me.

🎧 Audio:
Overall sound quality was okay, mostly smooth though there were some instances of repeated sentences and words.
The narrator doesn’t sound like a robot, which is nice but in each installment, there was at least one character who sounded like a chipmunk—this could make it hard to take them seriously, and after a while got to be a bit hard to take.
