Publisher's summary

I’m about to sing you the saddest song in the universe, and it’s called “The Man of My Dreams Married My Sister”.

It’s kinda my theme song. And trust me when I tell you, it’s heavy on the violins.

Because the man in question? He’s not just any guy, he’s Rafe freakin’ Goodman.

My former best friend.

The boy who made my summers on Whispering Key magical. The guy who inspired every love song that led to the chart-topping music career I have today. The man I always sort of figured would wait for me, while I pursued my dreams and finally found a way to tell the world I was gay....

But instead of waiting, he married Aimee.

Rafe and Aimee’s marriage has been over for a while now, but it doesn’t really matter. He doesn’t love me even though I feel like I’ll love him until the day I die. Trying to be “just friends” would tear me apart.

We’re a broken chord. A blue note. Hopelessly out of tune.

Or so I thought.

But when circumstances throw us back together on a crazy cross-country road trip, suddenly all kinds of secrets come to light that make it seem like maybe our show’s not over yet.

If I want a life with the man of my dreams, though, I’ll have to be honest - with Rafe and the rest of the world, too - and find the courage to write us a new song.

One that’s exactly like us: perfectly imperfect...and a little off key.

May Archer does it again!!!

I absolutely loved this book!! May did a fantastic job and Michael Dean did a wonderful narration!! I loved every moment of it. I love the Whispering Key residents, they are all so nutty and fabulous. I can't wait to see what comes next for Gage.

Pretty good

Pretty good, but why didn't the rock star grab a charter flight? Seams like it would've saved a ton of time.

Another story to feel great with

This story shared some of the same characters and history, as well as the love of the others. Come join the family on Whispering Key!

Terrific Conclusion to a Great Story

I was wondering how this fantastic story was going to end. The characters throughout the Whispering Key storyline were so well developed I wondered how the author was going to conclude the storyline where everyone seemed to come to an end and yet made everything work out such that there was a good conclusion. I was not disappointed in the least. In fact I was elated by the conclusion. The series could have gone on for another book as I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, but I was not disappointed. A great story with many characters that I will not forget.

Reunited

In the first few chapters I thought Jay/Jade was the most unlikeable character ever. After I got into the book I ended up loving him. Great Love Story! May Archer did it again.
