Andrea Taylor craves peace in her life, no matter what the personal sacrifice. She arranges her career as a violist, her relationships with family and friends, and even her love life so she can avoid strife at all costs. Everything is going according to plan until she meets Brooke Stanton the night before Brooke's wedding rehearsal and her ordered existence falls apart.
When Brooke hires a string quartet to play at her rehearsal dinner, she doesn't expect to meet a woman who threatens the security of her already predetermined future. Suddenly she has doubts about the conventional path she has chosen and the desires she can no longer ignore. In an eclectic neighborhood in Seattle, Washington, these two women face a life-altering decision - will they fight the attraction that threatens their carefully structured lives or take a chance on finding the harmony only love creates?

I’ve been steadily catching up on reading this author’s catalog and wow, her first book does not disappoint. What I adore most about about her writing is that there is nary a typical cliche to be found in her romantic themes. In fact, the hilarious twist on the lesbian U-Haul theme that is Andy and Brooke’s predicament was a welcome surprise and built suspense and intrigue that I didn’t expect. It was fun trying to figure out how they were going to navigate such an unusual situation. The sexual tension was built masterfully over much of the book, but underneath that tension was the slow burn of their romance. It was a fascinating balance of intense attraction and slowly falling in love. Amazing how two opposing themes were blended together along to form an intriguing story I couldn’t put down. Harmony was a fitting title indeed.Product details

Harmony (Audible Audio Edition) Karis Walsh Ruby Rivers Bold Strokes Books Inc Books Reviews
I love it when I take a chance on a new author and find something so unexpectedly sweet and engaging... I really enjoyed this story. For me, it's the kind of book I enjoy most in this genre... nothing really heavy. It's agenda-free. No dead lovers. No grief and over-processing. It's just a fun little romance with very likeable and appealing characters who share some sexy chemistry.
So it follows the very ordered life of soft butch musician Andrea "Andy" Taylor who is seduced by a closet lesbian with her own kind of ordered life... but that's about all they seem to have in common, lol. Their contrasts are amusing. If you enjoy the kind of chemistry that arises from being involved with a complementary opposite, you'll like this couple.
I thought I might be put off by a coming out story like this because I'm so far removed from that myself and tend to stay clear of these man-in-tow-messes (now)... but blond and sexy Brooke turned out to be incredibly endearing... just one of those irresistibly terrible-wonderful attractions we all give into at least once...
What's more, Andy's sense of romance and attentiveness is just really sweet... one of those girlfriends you wanna take home to meet the fam... and the musical aspect she brings to this story was something really different for me. Loved it.
Next to Andy and the lovely and femmy Brooke, I very much enjoyed Andy's amusing chemistry with her string quartet and her virtuoso-neurotic pillow princess lover... this author knows how to create interesting chemistry between her characters.
I'm a little too sweet on this author to be critical because she knows what I like... overall, this story gave me scene after scene of very loveable characters who shared genuine affection for each other. Very often I felt like I was glimpsing scenes from the author's personal relationship(s). Is fictional imagination this sincere?? )
The characters look nothing like those on the cover in my mind... I don't know why some book covers bother me so much, but they do. The characters within are far more attractive!
Quick and enjoyable read.... highly recommended easy reading.
This was a nice novel. A coming out story, which I'm still a sucker for. It just seems to give authors a strong framework for real emotion and a defined character journey. And one of the main characters, Andy, is a professional musician, which also falls along the lines of one of the things I really like in my romance novels characters doing interesting things, like with music, dancing, other brainy endeavors that require talent, or adventure like mountain climbing or whitewater rafting. It runs the gamut, but Andy the violist is right in there, and I loved all the little details about how a viola fits into a harmony and how a musician makes ends meet. Plus the Seattle details rang true, yet weren't very heavy-handed.
So Andy meets with "October 5th" (Brooke), the bride of an upcoming wedding, and is struck by her beauty, and also how she doesn't seem like the typical focused bride, but as a master of compartmentalization she puts it behind her until Brooke approaches her. The depth of the connection they establish is unlike anything Andy has experienced, despite its immediacy, and though she feels like it's risky, Andy feels like she has to honor it. But Brooke is determined to make her own decisions and be true to her own life as well.
So there are fits and starts. It all seems authentic and genuine, though. Andy and her order and Brooke and her relative chaos just seem to fit together. And their care of each other, and emotional honesty were endearing. Plus, I loved getting carried away with the emotion of the music.
This is another author going on my watch list. She's good at characterization, portraying emotion, and meticulously constructing and sticking to motivations. This book is well worth the time to read.
Well-written lesfic is rare. I think Ms Walsh moves immediately into a very select group with this debut. The plot is well constructed - sufficiently complex to convincingly support the development of interesting characters. Andrea and Brooke are skillfully crafted to be different, complementary and multi-dimensional. It was also enjoyable to have a researched back-story of sufficient depth and substance to add to the overall ambience - importantly, without being intrusive. I also tip me 'at in admiration of the dialogue - 10/10; the sex is better than most lesfic - although with this author's talent, I believe she has it in her to move up the scale (heh, heh) from a 6.58/10 - what's lacking is the subtlety of a more poetic sensuality - but then, I admit to being very picky.
Ms Walsh has also paid attention to her scaffolding (thank you, thank you, thank you) almost perfect editing, proofing, and no need to rely on spellchecker - it is obvious that she has learned spelling and grammar somewhere reputable.
(Thank you, Ms Walsh for an enjoyable evening. PS I'm off to buy your next novel.)
