A Quail 5***** Read

Hunter’s life is turned upside down when he’s forced to leave his ‘job of a lifetime’. When chance tosses him into the path of a very talented, and handsome young nurse, his life takes on a new direction he never could’ve anticipated. Cam’s focus had shifted from pursuing his musical passion to nursing.

But a one-night stand quickly changes into so much more, especially when that one-night stand ends up helping to run his late grandmother’s resort. Career changes, inheritances, and a greedy corporation all make it seem impossible for these two men to make it. But, on the slopes of Colorado, they might just find love in the melody of the snow.

Call

me a romantic, but this book is a hot chili of a love story! It has everything I needed: steamy action, a heartwarming plotline, and even a dusting of drag queens. And this book takes on real-life problems like a boss.

Career decisions and other real-world issues are tackled head-on without losing the romance. Allwood is a seriously committed writer, weaving a complex plot and still keeping the emotional connection between the characters intact.

Sure, the pacing is slow at times, but so necessary to get into Cam and Hunter's minds and with everything they must negotiate, that's forgivable. The book delivers and left me feeling like I just ate an avocado sandwich - satisfied and happy.

There are definitely other romance novels out there with characters from different backgrounds or professions falling in love and facing various challenges. But "Melody of the Soul" has a unique blend of elements that sets it apart, like the mountains of Colorado. It's like sipping hot chocolate beside a cozy fire; it really is that good.

So, if you're looking for a romance novel that's got it all - hot action and real-world issues - then "Melody of the Soul" is the book for you.

And that's why it gets a huge 5 stars from me!
