Not Another Love Song
Not Another Love Song
Julie Soto
my review : ✮✮✮✮
STRINGS ARE SEXY 🎻🎻🎻🎻!!! If you are trying to fill an Ali Hazelwood-sized hole in your heart, pick up this book. Whatever AH puts in her books is also sprinkled in this sexy romance from Julie Soto.
Xander Thorne is a tall, dark, and handsome cello god. He is basically the Harry Styles of the cello world and has the ego to prove it. Gwen Jackson is a prodigy in her own right, as she has gone from playing at the subway for tips to pay for groceries to now playing violin for the Manhattan Pops. When Gwen is playing a gig at a wedding for some extra cash, a chance encounter has her bumping into Xander Thorne. She is mortified to learn Xander has no idea who she is, despite the fact that they play across from each other at the Manhattan Pops Orchestra! Enemies to lovers ensue!
Lots of delicious tension and will-they-won’t-they energy. If you want to learn something new (🎻) while being hot and bothered, this is for you.
This is enemies-to-lovers-ish, dual-ish POV, and delic-ious... Ha! See what I did there? To make your reading experience 10/10, check out the Not Another Love Song playlist on Spotify, which was created by the author herself.
To commemorate this spicy romance, I am pairing this with a drink I’m calling the Spicy Crescendo (but that the rest of the world calls a spicy rosé spritz 🤪)! Cheers!

my favorite quote:
“Look, I don’t know what you want from me, but—” “Anything.” Black eyes looked down on her, and he took a shaking breath. “Everything.”
