SThe Merino Rose. Ted Spencer has a hard enough time believing the celebrated violin really exists. To find it sitting on his coffee table is nothing short of incredible. The stuff of legend, the exquisite Guarnerius has been missing for centuries. 

But even though the renowned instrument is a violin lover’s dream come true, it holds only heartache for Ted. The value of the Merino Rose may be beyond measure, but he has acquired it at too high a cost. 

Ted found his soul mate when he met Olivia de la Vega his senior year in high school. In the school’s production of Camelot, Ted was cast as Lancelot, Olivia as Guenevere. They should have spent their lives together but strings got in the way–family ties, career objectives, and the tangled web of fate. 

Will the Merino Rose bring the two star-crossed lovers together at last, or will their love always remain the melancholy sound of distant violins?

More beautiful covers! I can’t get over the simplicity and yet how amazing it looks!

Alright, momentary graphic design fawning over. Back to the actual content.

In this particular book, we follow the two characters Ted and Olivia through quite some time, watching their relationship progress. While present day is down the line, we see a lot of flashbacks showing what life was like for them in younger years. What is interesting is that the main character is actually Ted, something you don’t usually find in romance fiction.

As you may have guessed, music is also a large draw for this story. Ted is very passionate about it, and then you have the idea of this mysterious violin. I do wish there was more background or involvement with the violin, but it was still a nice plot line.

This book definitely falls into the “more feely, less plot-driven” type of book. I mean, I have read others with a similar plot line, but this was still different enough to be intriguing. If you’re looking for a shorter (but not too short) piece to read curled up on the couch and to give you fuzzies, you’ve found a good option in this book. Definitely pick it up if that’s your cup of tea!

I was provided this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
