Resumen del Editor

Jodi Burkitt is alone again. Her ex took everything with her—the friends, the fun, and the daughter that Jodi had loved like her own. She's got plenty to distract her from the empty days and nights, especially her latest home renovation project.

When Jodi discovers a hidden jewelry box in the walls of the home she's renovating, she turns to her ex's friend, librarian Michele Galveston, to help piece together the mystery inside the box.

Michele Galveston is anything but a quiet librarian—she sings in a local band and has a talent for never following anyone's rules but her own. Michele has a reputation for rarely staying with a woman for more than a few months and Jodi knows she should steer clear. But the closer they get to solving the mystery in the jewelry box, the closer Jodi and Michele get to each other.

Will Jodi risk her heart again—especially for someone as emotionally unavailable as Michele? And will Michele finally find a way to trust someone enough to share the secret she's kept hidden for so many years? With Jodi's wounded heart and Michele's love 'em and leave 'em history, it's likely that love songs and life might be two very different things.

Contains mature themes.

Love the backstory!

This story was great with its backstory of characters but the main characters were frustrating at times. Michelle mad you want to scream at times.

Left wanting more

The ending felt off was expecting more to come or maybe a sequel is needed

Awesome

The story keeps your interest the entire time, Abby Craden did a great job narrating, as usual!

Frustrating But Wonderful

I loved the variety and complexity of the characters. The mystery was so captivating and emotional. A sad but very real tribute to the historical realities of women who loved women. To others, hang in to the end-feel all the emotions- it so worth it.

Mysterious fingers from the past reach out and entwine around the hearts of wary but hopeful lovers!

This is a well written story with beautiful characters and a wonderfully mysterious discovery- incredible letters that give life to the story of a past relationship, while swirling around in vivid colors to illuminate and inspire present day friends and potential lovers. This story reminds us that the lies we tell ourselves are perhaps the most dangerous and limiting of all and living our truth requires us to be courageous and at times, fearless! Thankfully, our main and supporting characters are not perfect and that makes them far more realistic. The spice and angst are not as frequent as some, but still potent. The voices used were varied and good, though I felt a little more energy in the narration was needed at times; however, Abby is so good overall that this is still a wonderful listen and a very enjoyable book!

Missed Jaime’s steam

Jaime writes some of the hottest sex scenes ever, but it was missing from this book. There’s was sex, but it seemed flat, & unexciting.
That being said, it was a sweet story, it just was missing that extra bump.

lost love

Lots of things going on with this story. There is an ill-fated love from 60 years ago, a slow burn that weaves in and out the entire story and many other challenging issues. Very enjoyable. Narrated by the great Abby Craden.

love the author and narrator

this audiobook had me interested from the start. I enjoyed the storyline and the semi slow burn of the main characters. Abby Craden is always the best (how does she make everyone sound so desirable?) ok so I loved the book, BUT I didn't like the abrupt ending and there was also an abrupt weird surprise to the story about 80% of the way through the book... book would have been better if Michelle's surprise never happened? :) still, great listen by 2 talented women!

Great story line

This story was surprisingly better than I anticipated. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a great story line, phenomenal narration, and a happy ending!

Truly fascinating love story. Loved that included a working class dyke.

I loved all the main characters developed and loved it nothing I didn't like. I would have liked more int err action between Alice and W. More about Ws younger life as A communist. Really the history in this was awesome
