- SYNOPSIS -
From the moment Quinn Montgomery sat behind her first snare and cymbal set, she was destined for fame and glory. As Hush Note’s infamous female drummer, she sets the rhythm for the band’s chart-toppings hits. When people tap their feet to their music, it’s to her pulse.
Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops.
When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she’s paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn’t able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future.
If they can mend their rifts and find solace in the refrains.

- MY REVIEW -
'RIFTS AND REFRAINS'
by Devney Perry is the second full length book in the Hush Notes series which is a rock star romance, each written by a different Author, each centered on a band member in Hush Notes. But can easily be read as complete stand-alones.
This wrung so many emotions out of me, a family severed down the middle, their family values and dynamics coming into play admittedly had me more than tearing up in a few places, a much loved one passing, an ex, and a rock star finding her place in the world. This was such a beautiful unique story.
Normally I tend to shy away from small town second chance romances, only because they seem to follow the same plot, but this had such a heartfelt slow burn feel about it, and if Devney Perry is the author I’ll read it! Words cannot convey how much I loved this story.
'Rifts and Refrains' kicks starts off with Quinn 'Hush Notes' golden drummer girl getting a phone call which neither one of us ever wants to receive, she's been asked to come home because her Nan passed away in her sleep. Quinn hasn't been home or spoken to anyone from Montana her hometown other than her Nan's weekly Monday phone calls for nine years.
Not even her childhood sweetheart she left behind all those years ago have spoken. Not everyone will welcome Quinn with open arms. Past hurts and the reason why she took off all those years ago had left a family divided. Things have changed so much since she's been away, and now even more than in the past she feels like she doesn't belong.
I highly recommend this book!! Rifts and Refrains is a perfectly safe rock star romance to read.
I promised myself I would read the books from this series and your review has reminded me. Incredible review, babe! xo
