Title-Playing the Maestro
By Aubrie Dionne
Publication Date: February 11, 2013
Published By: Entangled Publishing: Bliss
Blurb-Melody Mires has sworn off dating musicians, but when the sexy European conductor Wolf Braun takes over her struggling symphony, her hesitation almost flies out the window with the notes of her flute-until he opens his mouth. Wolf is arrogant, haughty, and seems to have a personal vendetta against Melody. Oh, and he's her boss. If she wants to keep her job as principal flutist, she'll have to impress Wolf while simultaneously keeping her undeniable attraction to herself.
Wolf came to America to get as far away from his past as possible, and to recover some of the swagger he had as one of the world's best maestros. He never imagined being forced to reassess the entire orchestra's talent-and potentially fire anyone who doesn't make his cut. Dating the attractive flutist is out of the question, but as their feelings reach a fever pitch, can they risk both their careers for a chance at love?

Excerpt:
"Wolf threaded his arms behind her waist. His golden brown eyelashes framed a wild sparkle in his eyes, and Melody couldn't believe she'd put it there. Every thought in her rational mind told her to end the date now before it got complicated, but the passionate feelings radiating from her wild heart planted her firmly in place.
What was the harm in one kiss?"
My Review:
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Melody Mires is the lead flutist in an orchestra that is struggling to stay alive. Melody is worried that someone in the orchestra is trying to get her fired. She works very hard and tries to play the very best that she can. She works more than one job just to make ends meet. She is trying her best to prove to her family that she can make it as a musician. Being a musician has been a dream for Melody all her life.
With the orchestra doing everything it can to stay afloat they get a new conductor from Germany, Wolf Braun. Melody is attracted to Wolf the very first time she lays eyes on him but dating her boss is not a good idea. Everyone will think that she is trying to sleep her way to the top. Not counting all of that, she has sworn off musicians because she was hurt in the past. Wolf is also attracted to Melody and he thinks that this job is his chance at starting over and dating one of his employees just would not help his career. Besides he came to America to start a new life and leave an old one behind not to make the same mistake again.
The more Melody and Wolf try to stay away from each other the hard it is. I mean hey they work together so they are going to have to spend time together. They have to work together to try and find a way to keep the orchestra from falling apart and to keep their own jobs. They have to find out who it is that is trying to frame them and find the evidence they need to stop them.
This is like the third book by Aubrie Dionne that I have read. The first one was Colonization and the second one was Paradise 21 and I totally loved both of them. I plan on reading all of the New Dawn series and Paradise Reclaimed series. When I said that I would read and review Playing the Maestro I didn't think I would like it. I mean I like horror or you know romance with a paranormal creature thrown in with a little romance on the side. Or fantasy with a little romance on the side. But I thought well it is Aubrie Dionne there is no way that it could be a bad or even a boring book not with the way she writes. I am very glad that I gave Playing the Maestro a chance because it is a very good story. Yes, I liked it very much. Thanks Mel.
About the Author-Aubrie grew up watching the original Star Wars movies over and over again until she could recite and reenact every single scene in her backyard. She also loved The Goonies, Star Trek the Next Generation-favorite character was Data by far-, and Indiana Jones. But, her all time favorite movie was The Last Unicorn. She still wonders why the unicorn decided to change back to a unicorn in the end.
Aubrie wrote in her junior high yearbook that she wanted to be "A concert flutist" when she grew up. When she made that happen, she decided one career was not enough and embarked as a fantasy, sci fi author. Two careers seems to keep her busy. For now.
Now for the professional bio:

Great review! I had no idea that Aubrie had a romance novel published with Entangled's Bliss line! I loved one of her other books so I'm definitely looking forward to reading this one.
