When Jake and Alyssa's virtual affair peaks while his band tours Europe, Alyssa decides it's Jake that she wants for her 18th birthday. She surprises everyone, including Jake, with a planned trip to London. After three years apart will it be everything they've both dreamed of? Alyssa is soon thrown into Jake's stardom, delicate family matters and a potential repeat of the past. I wanted to see them get back together and read how they continued to love each other no matter how hard everybody else was trying to keep them apart.
Though these two are older and mature. They seem to make some bad choices. Aly is able to make the decision to find Jake and renew their connection after three years of separation. The emotions are high and the love intense. This couple comes clashing together with so many emotions and ups and downs that your world spins. Aly may have grown but Jake hasn’t he is still so immature and dishonest. This story just gives us an update on how things are going with our couple. With them being separated. I don’t like Jake in this story he seems to love Aly strongly but doesn’t give her what she deserves.
Don’t come looking for a cute love story in this series. It will leave you hurting and wanting more. This is a preview of Broken Notes. It gives us something to look forward to while we wait for the next book. If you haven’t picked up any of these books you're missing out. The author gives so much in this series and I enjoyed every moment.

This book was everything and nothing I was expecting it to be!

It fell short when it came to the Miniaturist story line. It feels like Burton began the book with this story in mind and as she continued to write forgot what it was she was supposed to be talking about and so began a new story and then was reminded right at the end of her original plot and lazily bought it all together.

I'm not normally a fan of books set from years ago, but the plot of this mysterious miniaturist intrigued me. As I went through I began to realise this story line was being forgotten and thought that maybe I would begin to grow bored of the story however I was extremely mistaken. I was so involved in the characters lives that I almost forgot about the miniaturist myself!

Burton pulls at heart strings with her characters and I can admit I did have a little cry to myself over this book. I fell in love Johannes, he was a good man who was trying his best to keep his unconventional family going and he did not deserve the fate that was brought to him.

I'd recommend this book to those who enjoy a long and fufilling read.
