Ok so I thought that the first book in this series was great, but the 2nd book is amazing. Brandon and Callie’s story was so wonderful. This is the best kind of friends to lovers/2nd chance type romance. The twists and turns of the story kept the pages turning and the characters kept me completely engrossed in this story. I am definitely a fan at this point. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series!

Alam – Review by Amelia Stansell
This is the second book in The Echo Series, and like the first it captivated me right away. It’s a treat to your senses with the descriptions of the locations that Brandon travelled to and his reconnecting with Callie, one of his childhood friends. It’s great to see their connection growing as they reacquaint themselves. Callie is a very strong character who has been dealt a blow several years prior. She just seems like a friend I’d love to have on my side.
The author does a marvelous job of world building and character building. The antagonist in this story is really not likable but he has a part in Callie’s experience.
I would definitely recommend reading the first book in the series. It isn’t crucial but will help connect some of the characters in the second book.

This book has so much more going on than I expected and I really enjoyed it. This book is even better than the first one and I was drawn in to the story right from the start. Callie and her past definitely intrigued me and I thought the fit of her and Brandon was done really well. I wanted to know more about both of them and enjoyed the discovery as the book developed. I think the author has created a strong series and I am looking forward to the next book. I want to see what else is to come and will be reading more of her work in the future.

Where do I start? This novel is just as good as the first! The author does such an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. Brandon and Callie are best friends that lost connection and are brought together by fate. The lack of judgement that Brandon has toward Callie is outstanding and I believe he should be the standard for all men to look up to. He is not perfect by any means, but I absolutely love his character.
I cannot wait for the next book in the series. The writing is phenomenal and so easy to sink your teeth into. If the characters and plot are anything like the first two novels, then it will take me no time to read the third. Highly recommend! Super cozy novel with some action and suspense tied in.

His Forever Muse finds Brandon Rossi on a journey of rediscovery when he runs into “the one that got away” while on the other side of the world. Being a lover of love and with there being 15 years to catch up on, he decides that he will do what it takes to reconnect with Callie. What he didn’t plan on was the nightmare she had previously escaped, which is now trying to overtake her life again. While a part of a series, this can be read as a standalone, and while there are some darker elements than the previous installment, the author achieves another sweet, heartfelt novel.

His Forever Muse, the second book I the Echo Series is a page- turning romance full of twists and turns that kept me hooked, from beginning to end. Brandon Rossi and Calliope Chen-Bisset have been friends since childhood. As they grew up their lives took different paths; with ups and downs along the way. When they run into each other as adults, they pick up their friendship, as if time stood still. I enjoyed following Brandon and Callie’s journey; from their friendship, to romance, through trials and tribulations-I did not want their story to end! I’m looking forward to more in this series.

Alam – Review by Diane Sennett
I loved how this book was woven from the first of the Echo Series (Echoing Hearts). This story was a bit of a mystery as well.
Callie and Brandon grew up together and haven’t seen each other in years. By chance they run into each other at a resort in Africa and reconnect. Brandon had been in love with Callie when she went off to college and completely cut him out of her life. She is currently dealing with a lot in her life and tried to build up walls again, but Brandon can’t help but tear them down each time.
This is a story of perserverance, love and found family.

This book left me in all my feelings. It addresses some tough topics but does it with grace. The main characters are pretty much searching their souls to have a more fulfilled life. They haven’t talked to each other in the last 15 years. Obviously a lot can happen in 15 years and this is their journey to see if they can find the love that they both desperately need. The book will get you feeling everything the characters feel. I highly suggest that you get a box of Kleenex’s and a good comfy soft blanket. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to read this book, but the journey it took me on was one of the best that I have been on in a while. There are the hurdles that the main characters have to overcome to be together. This only helps to heighten the love story that is between them. This is the second book in the series and it does mention the characters from the first which is a great little tad-bit that I fully enjoy. I highly recommend reading this series and even though the characters are mentioned from the first book, it isn’t necessary to read the first one to understand what is going on in this one. That being said, I would highly recommend reading the first one because this series is just that good. Reviewed by: @bbohls

Alam – Review by Barbara Bohls
This book follows Callie and Brandon, childhood friends, who reunite in adulthood. This was a slow start for me and did not fully capture my attention until further in the book. I did enjoy the past scenes and getting glimpses of how Brandon and Callie were together as kids, it reminded me of my childhood crush. Brandon had such a sweet vibe to him and Callie was a bit tougher than i anticipated her being but she grew on me. She had really been through some hard things and it was nice to see her come around and open up to Brandon. I really enjoyed seeing how the characters have changed with age and how they both overcome obstacles in their own ways but end up on the same path. Overall this was a fine story to read but not a favorite for me although it does have some of my fave tropes.His Forever Muse, The Echo Series, C.R.

First, let me say, while Calliope, or Callie as she’s most often called, is one of the strongest heroines I’ve read about, there are multiple conversations in this book that may be triggering for some people, as Callie has had the unfortunate experience of being in a relationship with an abusive, controlling, and manipulative person who is aided and abetted by his family along the way. While the book does NOT go into graphic detail or show most of the incidents, these conversations can still be triggering for some people, so please, PLEASE take your own mental health into consideration before reading this book.
That being said, this book was well worth the read. Callie Chen-Bisset goes through a lot, both within the confines of a romantic relationship, but also with her own family before that, and comes out stronger on the other side. She is abused mentally and physically, and comes out wanting to help others who have also been victimized by not just the same person, but others as well. Her main goal in that is to protect her daughter from the father who only wants her to try and gain the upper hand on controlling Callie. In the middle of all of this, she rediscovers a lost love from her youth unexpectedly. Brandon Rossi, was friends with Callie and her brother Curtis when they were all kids and teenagers until Curtis interferes due to his own jealousy, causing Brandon and Callie to not speak for fifteen years. When they meet again while Brandon is on a trip to try and find himself, and Callie is working with a client for her art business, they instantly feel the old attraction return. Brandon travels next to Paris where Callie lives and they begin a relationship while also trying to fight for custody of Callie’s daughter Eleanor, to protect her from her abusive father who only wants her to try and get Callie back so he can control her once again.

Alam – Review by Candice Estes
This book was an amazing read. C.R. did a great job bringing up topics that might be hard for some readers to read. The use of these topics makes the book that much more realistic.
This book follows Calliope and Brandon. Brandon is part of a famous band and he has a very artful soul. Calliope is a woman with a few skeletons in her closet and demons in her past. Calliope and Brandon have known each other for years. They lost touch and one day meet again while Brandon is trying to find something he lost.
The history between them is vast and plenty. Knowing each other since they were young and reconnecting later in life means they have changed quite a bit. Can the person you once knew bring back lightness to your life? Can the artist that follows their heart show the person who uses reason to live freer? Can you forget your past or will it forever haunt you?
Read this book to find out what happens with the rockstar and the girl he used to know. Learn about their stories and struggles as well.

I enjoyed reading this friends to lovers romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author. I found this book to be well developed where the author used details to make the story realistic. A story where it is full of not only romance but some suspense as well. Brandon and Calliope have known each other for most of their lives. He is her brother’s best friend and should be off limits. What happens when she runs into him in the middle of the desert? He is a steamy adult now but does that mean he is still hands off? You don’t want to miss what happens with these two. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. There is even a little suspense that you won’t see coming. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. It is entertaining and easy to read. An engaging story that I highly recommend.

This was such a wonderful story. I fell in love with the characters pretty much straight away. The way the author write from in both the past and present made me feel like a really did know that characters and the journey of their relationship. I think it was pretty clear from the moment that they reunited that there was this amazing chemistry and connection. The author did really with the handling of some of the sensitive topics in he story. She wrote them well and there is a trigger warning from her. Brandon was a really lovely character and I loved how protective he was of Callie. Callie is one of those characters who you just instantly take to, she has overcome so much in her past, she had such strength and resilience and I could tell how much she wanted Brandon but was really struggling to let go and move on with her life. I highly recommend this book and I am certainly looking forward to reading more from this author.

Book 2 in the Echo Series, does NOT disappoint. This is a friends to lovers, rock star, second chance, romance and oh my how it draws you in and holds you tight. Just like book one in the series it will definitely make you feel like you are living in their world and you can’t help but root for them as a couple. Growing up together and then being separated for 15 years, now as adults they have found one another again, but she has a secret and doesn’t know if she can rely on him or not. WONDERFUL story with amazing supporting characters.

Brandon Rossi fell in love at just six years old with his best friend’s sister. She was untouchable though. After going their separate ways, fifteen years have passed. Brandon is part of a successful band and artist while Callie works in Paris in the art world. Brandon and Callie cross paths in Marocco while at a friend’s resort. Brandon refuses to let Callie slip out of his life again, so when Callie mentions living in Paris Brandon knows he has to go visit her. I love this new series! Can’t wait to see where this series goes!

Brandon Rossi decides to travel a bit trying to find some inspiration. He is part of the rock band, Canis Major and needs a break from the fast paced life he has been leading. Seeing his close friend Rae settle down has had him question when he will find the same happiness. He doesn’t expect to run into Calliope Chen-Bisset again though.
Calliope was shocked to see Brandon again, she realized it was inevitable that at some point they might run into one another again. Close childhood friends and band mate to her brother, she is filled with mixed emotions about it. After an incident she was essentially pushed out from her family, her close friends. Her life has been rocky but she has held her head high and she is now a Parisian art gallerist.
The more Brandon spends time with Calliope the more he knows he wants to build upon it. Brandon also realizes Calliope needs time to agree to it. When her past wont let her go though, Brandon pulls out the stops to keep her protected.
This story was wonderful. It goes between past and present and I felt so much for Calliope. Brandon we got to know in the first book and he continues to be one of my favorite characters so far in this series. Terrific second book in the series.

The story of Callie and Brandon had me hooked right from the start and I simply couldn’t put it down until the end. This truly talented author created amazing characters full of heart and weaved a captivating, relatable storyline that the reader can fully visualise while reading. Important issues were addressed with such great care. I totally fell for Brandon in the first book of this series and this book just cemented that even further. This book can definitely be read and enjoyed without having read the first book of the series but why do that when you could read both!

This was a great 5 star read. I was excited to read this book, I love rockstar reads. These two characters had a past and when they reconnect all the old feelings come rushing back. Callie has some things from her past that haunt her, which motivates her to help others. I really liked how sweet Brandon was with her. These two have a journey that can be challenging at times but I was very happy with the ending. The other does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. My emotions were all over the place. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the start. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

I’ve been anxiously waiting to get my hands on this book after reading the first book in this series! This book, while the second in a series, can be easily read as a stand alone.
Brandon Rossi is the front man for a rock band, Canis Major and his best friends are his band mates. He’s restless as the band has just come off a huge international tour and his artwork is slowing down a bit. He’s ready to get out and find what it is that he’s missing. Rae, one of his dearest friends, encourages him to travel and continue doing some artwork while he’s seeing sights. Brandon decides to go to Morocco to visit his friend Chris, and while there, he meets up with an art gallerist.
Calliope Chen-Bisset is that art gallerist and once she lays eyes on Brandon, a lot of great childhood memories come flooding back to both her and Brandon. Callie is the sister of one of Brandon’s bandmates and while they never hooked up while growing up, there has always been some sort of attraction there. Brandon helped Callie get through some difficult points in her life but not the most difficult ones.
Sparks start to fly between Callie and Brandon as soon as they lay eyes on each other but it’s been 15 years since they last saw each other. Callie’s family hasn’t mentioned her in years and, truth be told, there has been a bit of a rift between them too. Callie has experienced things that no woman…no person ever should experience but now that Philippe is a part of her life, she will always be looking over her shoulder. He’s the crazy ex-lover who just won’t let go.
Can Brandon keep his reputation in tact while learning to love Callie and her scars?
I loved this book and already can’t wait for the next one! There are some difficult topics covered and the author does issue a warning at the beginning of this book. I was not personally triggered by any of the scenes as they were handled quite delicately with enough information to let the reader know what happened without being overly graphic. This is a second chance romance of sort, but more importantly, a phoenix rising from the ashes story.

Alam – Review by Julie Johnson
His Forever Muse is the second book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This is a captivating second-chance contemporary romance- a friends to lovers rockstar romance with a best friends sister element threaded through. Brandon is the front man for rock band ‘Canis Major’. His whole life revolves around his creativity and artistic expression- music, art, and tattoos. So, when he loses his inspiration and his creativity begins to suffer, Brandon’s quest is to find something, well anything really, that will reignite his creative passion. This is where he encounters a blast from the past, in the form of Calliope Chen-Bisset…. will she become “His Forever Muse”? This is well worth the read to find out…. There’s plenty of emotion, chemistry, friendship, suspense, and overcoming past pain to take a chance on love. My favourite of the series, so far. Bring on Book #3! Happy Reading…

4.5 stars His Forever Muse is a romantic suspense friends to lover’s second chance story. It is the second book in The Echo series. I enjoyed the first book Echoing Hearts so I was looking forward to seeing the secondary characters from the first book get their own story and what this book brought to the series. I fell in love with this book even more. Although this story has some domestic violence themes, which may cause some triggers the author did a good job of not writing it graphically. This heartfelt tale will make your heartache along the way as we watch our female lead find herself in a safe and loving environment that helps her to find herself and her strength once again. There is pain and suffering, angst and fear, tension and suspense and a couple of twists and an unpleasant ex from the past. I look forward to seeing where C.R. Alam takes us next.

I am a sucker for a second chance romance always, and this one did not disappoint. I loved Brandon and Callie’s story. Their feelings go way back to their childhood, but they went their separate ways. Will they ultimately find their way back to each other one day? If fate has anything to do with it they certainly will, never without a few bumps in the road of course.

All I can say is I’m obsessed with Brandon. His Forever Muse is the second book on The Echo Series. I was extremely happy with this read. A fabulous second chance romance story that will make your heart feel it all. I was unable to put this book down. A must read.

His Forever Muse is book two in CR Alam’s The Echo Series. I fell for Brandon in book one. The romantic famous best friend. He just wants his happily ever after and he truly deserves it. Callie has had a hard time letting go from a hard past. There was a lot of character growth in this story from Callie. I enjoyed the second chance storyline between these two. It felt like any fantasy where you want to fall for the lead of your favorite band. I’m happy that Brandon got his story and that it was just what he needed. Very steamy spicy scenes. I feel like book two was much better than book one – though that is strictly personal preference.

This is the second book I’ve read of C.R. Alam and she did not disappoint me. If you have read Echoing Hearts, then this story will make you even happier. The book follows front man Brandon from Canis Major in his reunification to his first love and the battles that he faces.

Brandon and Callie’s story was fantastic. They have had a secret “love crush” one each other since they were young. To get a chance again now that they are adults is a dream come true, the only problem is Phillipe. The antagonist is quite the piece of work. I loved Brandon from Echoing Hearts. It’s great to see him find love. Callie is working through her issues to see where she is, to gain that independence. Will their relationship work? I enjoyed watching Callie grow with strength, confidence and stand up to Phillipe. The women in this series are strong and independent which I love. The plot twist was a surprise. I loved this book also.

Alam – Review by Shelly Kittell
A childhood friends to lovers romantic suspense novel.
What if you’ve known the love of your life since he was six years old and happens to be your little brother’s best friend? But the man whom Callie runs into in the middle of the desert in Morocco isn’t the little Brandon Rossi she once knew. He is a work of art.
Brandon Rossi is the boy-next-door in a rock star package. As the front man of the rock band Canis Major, a visual artist, and an avid stargazer, he expresses his thoughts and feelings through his music, arts, and tattoos. When he hits an invisible wall that hinders his ability to create, he starts on a quest to find inspiration. Who knew Brandon’s ultimate inspiration comes in the form of an unconventional beauty with golden eyes? He did. He always knew because she was the one who got away.
Calliope Chen-Bisset is a hard-working Parisian art gallerist who has gone through many hurdles in life. She was once broken, but she has tried her best to put herself back together—piece by piece. She doesn’t think she’ll be whole again until a blast from the past reminds her of who she is. The years haven’t dulled their connection. They’ve intensified it.
Brandon is willing to lay down everything for her, but will Calliope open up to him like she once did? Will she let a little fact that he is her little brother’s best friend stop her? Or will it be her past that cast a shadow on their future?
This book has mature situations and some domestic violence themes, though without graphic depiction, which may be considered triggers for some. However, it is also a story of rising from the ashes stronger. Reader discretion is advised.
C. R. Alam loves to write heartfelt and steamy love stories with strong yet vulnerable characters readers would root for. There hasn’t been a main character she’s written about whom she didn’t fall in love with despite their shortcomings. She’ll laugh with her characters, cry along with them, then laugh again in the end. When she’s not reading or writing, you’ll most likely find her in the kitchen, cooking, baking, or eating while wearing her trusted Birks, sweatpants, and “I’m emotionally attached to fictional characters” T-shirt. After a whirlwind decade of living abroad, C. R. now lives in Durham, NC, with her husband, daughter, and cat.
