The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry – Review by Deborah Joseph

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance by Nicolette Terry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Damien and Cadence definitely fit together like a puzzle piece! The growth of their relationship was perfect!

Elijah- eff you! I did not like this guy and any time he and Cadence were together I would scream at my Kindle wanting her to leave him, even before Damien came into the picture.

Their relationship was so toxic and full of red flags that it’s easy to hate Elijah, there were absolutely no redeemable parts to him as a person or their relationship. I hated how she kept trying to get him to be the person she met/fell in love with, but that is also what made this feel so real for me since it does happen in real life, when they did finally break up though I was so happy!

I don’t normally read books like this so going into it I didn’t know how I would like it… and boy did I like it. No… LOVED it! I couldn’t put my Kindle down. This story hooked me right from the start and if it wasn’t for real life getting in the way I would have devoured this book so fast. The story is easy to get into, the characters are relatable, and even the internal pov was amazing and never boring. There are some sad parts, or at least to me they were, that made me want to jump into the book and give Damien the tightest hug.

This book is a slow burn, though, with them not getting together until chapter 22 for a while. Some twists happened and they were broken up again until chapter 32. The build-up for their first time together was so worth it though, and of course, I was screaming at my phone when Elijah came between them (again eff you, Elijah).

I give only a few books a 5-star rating, but this work of art deserves it! Watching the growth between Cadence and Damien, the personal growth of Cadence and her finding herself again after losing who she was, the relationships between friends and family, all of it was just perfection and so well written that giving it any less would be a crime.

Welcome to my never-ending list of book boyfriends Damien!

** I read the not clean version and loved the spice scenes, but if you aren’t into spice she does have a clean version**
