Story
Once upon a time, he gave me a summer of friendship, followed by one perfect night. We shared a lot during our short time together. But he skipped a few crucial details. I didn’t know he was a rock star. I didn’t know his real name. Neither of us knew I’d get pregnant. And I sure never expected to see him again. Five years later, his tour bus pulls up in Nest Lake, Maine. My little world is about to be shattered by loud music and the pounding of my own foolish heart.

Story
How to behave when the guy who broke your heart 2,000 miles away turns up in your office: One: Don’t drop your lucky coffee cup in shock, even though it’s been 10 years. Two: Don’t get defensive when he asks how you ended up working his family’s ski mountain…and why you kept it a secret. Three: Give him the worst room in the resort. He deserves it for suddenly waltzing back in like he owns the place. (Which he kind of does.)

Story
Duke Evans didn’t expect to find a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel. Only she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color.

The former Clifton Forge, Montana motorcycle club has everyone in town convinced they’ve locked their clubhouse doors and ripped off their patches. Everyone but Bryce Ryan. There’s more happening at the club’s garage than muscle car restorations and Harley rebuilds. Her instincts are screaming there’s a story—one she’s going to tell. As the new owner of the small town’s newspaper, Bryce is hungry for more than birth announcements and obituaries.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It's somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn, but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn't fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she's kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She's given up hope of seeing him ever again.

What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable.

And my libido. In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too....

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Publisher's summary
From USA Today Bestselling Author Devney Perry comes a single dad, second chance rock star romance
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.

Story
Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Sylvie Campos and Lauren Machado have hated each other since before they were born. For generations, the Campos and Machado families have blamed each other for stealing pastry recipes they claim their great-grandfathers originated before fleeing Castro's Cuba. Having spent their lives as rivals, Lauren and Sylvie are now in their early thirties and primed to take over their respective family bakeries. That means working long, hot, seasons of outdoor food festivals where they are forced to endure each other—albeit with a lot of bantering and barb-trading.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Whenever I spied on him through my bedroom window, as he banged away, shirtless, on his drum kit, I felt sensations inside me I’d never felt for my actual brother. But when we moved away and Colin’s band took off like a rocket, I knew my tweener fantasies would never become a reality.

Great Chemistry
I love this Hush Notes series and book 2 in the series was wonderful.
We got to meet Quinn in book one and I didn’t really like her character in that book, so I didn’t know what to expect from her in this one. There was a good bit of angst during this book for Quinn. She left for college nine years ago and never looked back, but now she is returning for her grandmother’s funeral. We learn a lot about Quinn in this book. We find out what caused the rift between her and her family and that also explains what happened between her and Graham nine years ago.
Quinn and Graham have a lot of issues between that need facing, so will they work through things to find their 2nd chance? Quinn’s family now is her band members, so Graham is going to need to learn how to handle that. They have been there for her when her real family and Graham were not. Quinn and Graham have that undeniable chemistry that you can feel coming off the pages. Graham was a wonderful person and single dad, so he was careful to keep his son from getting attached, because he knew Quinn would leave. He didn’t want Colin, his son, to get his heart broke like his was nine years ago.
Nan was the only person who truly believed in Quinn, stood by her, but now she’s gone. After the service, Quinn and her family have to face cleaning out Nan’s house and that is where Quinn truly finds herself again. In the love notes that were written by her grandfather to her grandmother. I so loved this book. Quinn redeemed herself to me and her and Graham were lucky to have each other and their second chance at happiness.

Rifts and Refrains: Hush Note Book 2
OVERALL REVIEW & RATING: 5 STARS
Devney Perry has talent. She has a way of reaching into your soul and squeezing tight while at the same time showering you in hope. #WordWizardry. She is magic.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW & RATING: 5 STARS
What can I say about Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden that I haven’t already said? Both are excellent narrators and together they lifted this story to a level of #feels that is even more magical than Devney Perry’s pen!
STORY REVIEW & RATING: 5 STARS
Once again, I have to tell you that I cried a lot. There’s a depth of emotion that surrounds this story that left me breathless in many places. It wasn’t just the slow-burn, second chance to get things right journey between Quinn and Graham, it was everything. I’m crying right now remembering and feeling everything. This is a special story. It’s a story of coming home, of family, of forgiveness, of peace, of overcoming, of acceptance, of … everything; and it was all so beautifully unfolded that my heart literary hurt. I don’t have any other way to put it. I ached for the girl that was and the girl that is. I ached for the family that was and the family that is. I ached for the boy that was and the boy that is. I ached so badly for the loss, and I ached for the gain. I just ached. And it was gloriously beautiful.

Quinn won me over!
"He was the towering oak tree, planted firmly in the earth. I was the bird, flying in the sky above, and the wind had carried me too far to turn back now."
I wasn’t so sure I’d like Quinn, the drummer of Hush Note. In Lies & Lullabies, she was a little ….shall we say, Prickly? But in the end, I really loved the female rocker.
After 9 years away, Quinn had to go back to her small town in Montana to say goodbye to the person she loved most, her Nan. When she left town, she not only left her judgmental family behind, she left the love of her life. Graham never fell out of love with Quinn, despite having a child with another woman. Now the father of a 7-year-old, Graham has a lot more at stake. Can the small-town single dad really be with a rock star?
Likes:
•Quinn quickly made me get over my dislike, and I loved her.
•Lots of deep family connections to be mended.
•Colon, Graham’s son, stole the show.
•The chemistry and connection were there from the start.
Dislikes:
•I had none.
Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were wonderful in their roles and they brought the book to life. I definitely recommend listening to this one.

Rifts and Refrains
Devney Perry really knows how to tell a story! I envy Quinn and Graham’s love! Their childhood friendship evolved into an unshakable relationship with a solid foundation! To say that Quinn is resilient is an understatement, especially with the impoliteness and spiteful behavior of her family! I didn’t like how they felt the need to punish her with alienation for choosing to pursue her dreams! Graham provided the emotional encouragement and genuine acceptance needed to triumph over the obstacles in their path! He was angry initially but compassionate, encouraging and warm-hearted which facilitated the mending of their discordances! Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden are phenomenal narrators! Their performances breathed life into the story and made me feel all the angst, incivility, virtue, and affection in Quinn and Graham’s love story! I loved it and hope that the mending of their rifts help them to refrain from future foolishness❣️😍🥰🤩😍🥰

Second chance, small town, single dad, rockstar heroine!
Rifts and Refrains is part of the Hush Note standalone series, there are 3 books in the series written by different authors following the band Hush Note. I am obsessed with Devney Perry and have been reading all of her books lately so I had to jump right into hers!
Quinn is the female, Grammy-award winning drummer of the band Hush Note. She left home when she was 18 and hasn’t looked back, or been back since. The story starts off with her receiving news that her beloved grandmother, the only person she continued to stay in touch with, has passed away. She leaves the band and heads back to small town Montana for the funeral and comes face-to-face with her ex-boyfriend, Graham, at the airport. Graham and Quinn have so much history: they were high school sweethearts, they lived next door to one another growing up, he has always been her brother’s best friend, and 9 years ago when Quinn left town she left Graham behind too.
Graham is now a single dad to his 7-year-old son Colin and runs a home construction company with Quinn’s brother. While realizing she has so much to learn about Graham again, Quinn also has to make amends with her family. She hasn’t spoken to her father in the 9 years since she left home, she always felt like her pastor father was embarrassed of the choices she made in life (showing off skin with her clothes, being a drummer in a rock band), her sister is still upset with her leaving and never looking back, and she just met her nieces and nephews for the first time. One of her Gran’s last wishes was for Quinn and Graham to play together at her funeral, so the exes start spending time together and realize not all of their feelings were left in the past…
I loved this second chance romance, so much longing! All of the history between Quinn and Graham made it so good and angsty. I loved seeing Quinn connect and bond with Graham’s son, Colin. He is a fan of Quinn and her band and even plays the drums too, I loved seeing her practice and teach him. This is the type of music/rockstar romance I enjoy, not the flashy concerts and tour life, but seeing a character with musical talent/abilities living their life and enjoying their craft.

Loved
Quinn is so not what I expected! I loved her!! Walking away from her family and Graham was the hardest thing she has done but when Nan dies and she returns home, she is reminded just how much that decision cost her. Neither Graham or Quinn have ever moved on from each other and their attraction is undeniable. Nan’s death brought so much perspective to Quinn and what she walked away from. Even from the grave, Nan not only brought Quinn home but showed her how to heal! I can not wait for Nixon’s story!
