Rifts & Refrains by Devney Perry
5.0
Devney Perry completely wowed me with this gripping, second chance, rockstar romance. Rifts and Refrains is a beautiful story of forgiveness, finding peace and chasing your dreams with all the charm, heart and community feel we’ve come to love from a Devney Perry small town romance. From the very first page, I was emotionally invested. There is no doubt in my mind this is a five star read. Simply stated - I loved this book.
It had been over nine years since Quinn Montgomery left her small town in Montana. But, the passing of her beloved Nan has forced her to face her family and reunite with Graham Hayes, the man she left behind.
I felt for Quinn when I first met her. She was a drummer in the successful band, Hush Notes, with all the recognition she deserved and still she seemed so lonely. Even after so much time apart, it was apparent Graham and Quinn were each other's love of their lives. Their reunion started off rocky. There was just so much hurt from their departure. It was difficult to be around each other. Once they settled in, it was crystal clear how much of a connection they still had. They were all passion, chemistry and healing. These two just fit. I loved them together. In addition to that, I really enjoyed seeing Quinn interact with Graham's son, Colin. Their bond over the drums and their general behavior towards one another was so cute.
I don't know why Quinn's strained relationship with her family affected me so much. I hurt for all the pain and guilt they all carried resulting from an argument that went too far. Her relationship with her father made me especially sad. I think their reconciliation was my favorite of all. Even more than her and Graham's. Maybe because this is coming from someone who worships her dad, I needed them to be okay.
Like I said before, I loved this book! Devney Perry weaved many of my favorite tropes together masterfully and gave us a beauty that will capture your heart instantaneously. Rifts and Refrains is the second book in the Hush Notes series but the first one I read. I’m very interested in reading the other band members' stories, especially Nixon’s.
