Tavrach’s enigmatic frontman, Adam Cormac, is desperate. With the Autumn Gold Festival fast approaching, the band needs a new lead singer – and fast. When only one hopeful turns up – a golden-haired beauty with the voice of an angel – Adam takes a chance.
He soon discovers Mirren is the ex of the sneaky band member who not only abandoned them but stole some of Adam’s compositions. Tempers flare, until the tension between Adam and Mirren turns electric. What began as revenge quickly explodes into an attraction as powerful as their duets – but Adam’s been burned too often to risk his heart lightly.
If they want a chance to turn heartbreak into harmony, Adam must believe he’s more than a stopgap, while Mirren must choose love on her own terms. Only then can they strike a lasting chord before the curtain falls.
Review: I really liked this book - Mirren is such a lovely character, very representative of an abuse victim, and Adam is a walking green flag!
I was glad that Mirren's subterfuge was quickly dealt with. Adam's anger at Benji (Mirren's ex) was understandable, but I was surprised with how fast he and his band mates moved on. I think I little annoyance at her, while getting why she'd lied, might have made those scenes more realistic.
Adam's relationships with his sons were just lovely. He's such a good dad! He extends that protective sweetness to the rest of his band, which is so nice to read about. The overall feel is ever so cosy.
However, the settings needed work. It's supposed to be set in Scotland, but other than the mention of a loch, there's nothing in the prose that cements the novel's location. Add in some Americanisms (from Adam's sons, who probably get them online) and... I didn't get the feel of Scotland.
That said, Love Song at the Music Festival remains a delightful story with a gentle romance that has some mildly spicy scenes, and I'd like to read more from Margaret Amatt.
