"It's not as much about mastering technique as it is risking the cost of opening your heart to the song you're meant to share."

The Unveiled series follows Emma, a business major trying to figure out her passion and purpose, and Riley, a passionate and gifted musician who is unsure of himself and broken by his past. This first book in the series has them meeting in college where Riley is a senior and Emma is a junior. Attraction is instant and their sweet and deep friendship that blossoms is heart-warming and tender. Emma has a group of close friends who brings Riley into the fold and there is plenty of great fun found among college friends but there is also a love triangle that develops within the group which I believe will continue through the three book series. Emma is easy to like; she's compassionate, loving, loyal, and sweet. When she discovers her passion for helping underprivileged children, she comes alive. The story is told from first person perspective of Emma (except for the prologue) which lets us in to her thoughts and emotions but leaves me wondering about what Riley is going through. The writing is easy to follow, the plot moves at a good pace, the characters are believable and lovable, and the emotions along with the fragile hope they cling to are raw and real. I can't wait for the second and third books to see where Emma and Riley go in their journey.

I received a copy of the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own. ( )
