SWS02-SHELDON

As far as Green Valley is concerned, Kim Dae disappeared into the Wraiths a decade ago. They were sort of right. Kim has spent her life since Jethro fighting her curious nature and trying to blend into the background. Unfortunately for her, a mysterious Maestro comes to town and takes quick notice of her for reasons unknown to anybody.

The masked conductor, known simply as Devlin, was already a source of much gossip thanks to his reputation for getting fired. Now, his sudden interest in the quiet fourth chair cellist has added fuel to the rumor fire. The new conductor of the symphony needs to learn to control his temper and finish his latest musical masterpiece and only the reluctant star of his symphony can help him do that. If Devlin can’t convince Kim to help to finish his latest composition he’ll lose everything.

Can Devlin and Kim compose without losing composure?

‘The Treble with Men’ is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #2 in the Scorned Women’s Society series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

My Rating:


Favorite Quotes:


Richard Firmin and Andrew Gill were the co-presidents of the SOOK… Nobody else called them Andy-Dick, but as they were a package deal, it was just easier. 

He pulled his baton from his coat jacket like it was Harry Potter’s wand…

“I hate guys like that. Don’t worry. If you want, I'll kick his ass.” He flexed and kissed his biceps. “These guns haven’t lost their bullets.”

If you ever tell anybody I screamed like that, they’ll never find your body.

I’ll never agree to anything without hearing it first. That’s how people end up with a tattoo of a platypus on their ass.

Sleep had hit me so hard, I woke up in the same exact position I’d fallen asleep in, wondering what year it was.


My Review:


I enjoyed this installment twice as much as the first one, it was a wicked funny, multi-faceted, slow-burn romance.  The multiple storylines were actively paced and written in my favorite dual POV featuring extremely complicated and oddly fractured characters who were struggling with themselves and each other.   Both were ducking for cover from their pasts by using dual personas while doing a rather pitiable job of functioning as either one.  They were intelligent people who were living in their heads and essentially emotional and social idiots.  I’m curious to see where this series goes next.
