Review: Resonance by Neve Wilder
SYNOPSIS:
I gave the rumor mill fodder for a lifetime the day I walked away from a lucrative music career without explanation.
People can talk all they like; my record stores are my lifeblood now, and I’m devoted solely to keeping them afloat in the digital age. There’s just one little thing distracting me: an earth-dwelling sunbeam named Owen Harper. I don’t know what I was thinking when I hired him. In fact, maybe I wasn’t thinking at all.
Quirky and excitable, he’s a walking, talking danger to fragile objects. His energy alone could power a small country. That’s never been my style. Hell, I was probably cutting my first album while he was cutting teeth. He wants a music career, and I’m done with all that. We couldn’t be on more opposite paths.
He’s other things, too, though. Things that keep me up late at night. Things that make me forget I’m supposed to be simplifying.
And damn does he love to push my buttons.
Now I’m struggling to resist his pull, drowning in the memory of his skin under my hands, his mouth on mine. His laugh.
When a long shadow from my past comes calling with an offer I’d be stupid to refuse, there’s more on the line than the survival of the shops I’ve dedicated the last fifteen years of my life to.
Because those fragile objects I mentioned earlier? One of them might well be my heart.
REVIEW:
This book was a delicious read! I am glad I gave it a chance after not really feeling the characters in Dedicated, the first book in the Rhythm of Love series. There is just something so tantalizing about the age gap romance and Neve Wilder does Owen and Dan justice.
I loved the character contrast, while they may vastly differ in life experiences and age, there is also an undercurrent that brings these two together. Their loneliness called out to each other, with two characters who are so alone in life, I adored the solace they found with each other. It was endearing and while they definitely had undeniable chemistry, it took them a while to acknowledge their feelings.
Both Owen and Dan grew as characters over the course of the story. Dan working through some past hang ups he had and Owen working on finding himself. In the end it was just a sexy, lovely read at times a little heavy but mostly fluffy, sweet goodness.
