About this listen

An R&B singer and a corporate executive find love that hits the right notes in this USA Today bestselling romance by Kristina Forest.

Iris Greene used to be a woman with a plan. But all of that changed after she met the love of her life at twenty-five, got pregnant and married…and then became a widow and a single mother all in a little over two years. Now, after years of hustling, Iris is the director of partnerships at a beauty company and raising sweet six-year-old Calla by herself. Despite her busy life, she still can’t help but feel lonely. She just needs to catch her breath—and one night, at her sister’s wedding, when she steps outside to do just that, she sees a certain singer who takes her breath away. . . .

By all accounts, pop R&B singer Angel Hughes has it made. He’s a successful musician and has just scored a brand ambassador deal with an emerging beauty company. But he’s still not fulfilled; he’s not producing songs he’s passionate about, and there’s a gaping hole in his love life. When he visits the Save Face Beauty office to kickstart his campaign, he’s delighted to see Iris, his stylist’s sister—the beautiful woman he’s secretly had a crush on for years.

Despite their obvious attraction to each other, they must stay professional throughout the campaign tour—a goal that doesn’t quite pan out. But when it becomes clear their lives aren’t in sync, can they fall back in step to the same rhythm and beat?

Critic reviews

"Readers will have no trouble rooting for their happily ever after.”—Publishers Weekly

"Charming and poignant, this third novel featuring the Greene sisters, after The Partner Plot, is recommended for all public library collections.”—Library Journal, starred review

“Kristina Forest’s The Love Lyric is a gorgeous song of a book. At times it reads like a slow jam that will make you grin from ear to ear and kick your feet. And then it’s a ballad, pulling on your heartstrings and making you swoon. Clearly Forest’s Angel and Iris are made for each other, just like the rhythm and blues that provides a backdrop for this stunning end to the Greene sisters series.”—Myah Ariel, author of When I Think of You

Editorial Review

Put it in a love song
Kristina Forest ends her Greene Sisters series on a high note. In this heartfelt romance, we meet Iris, a widowed single mom who has little time to date between her demanding job as a corporate executive at Save Your Face skincare brand and her spunky six-year-old daughter, Calla. Enter Angel, a popular R&B artist and the newest celebrity ambassador for Save Your Face. A cross-country tour to promote the company’s products brings the couple closer and closer together until there’s no denying their sizzling chemistry. The pacing of this slow-burn romance made every charged moment between Iris and Angel well worth the wait, and as a widow and single mom myself, witnessing Iris’s journey to love after loss was especially moving. Narrators J. Shani Michaels and Ian Hackney worked beautifully together to add emotional depth to their characters’ challenges and triumphs. I will miss the Greene sisters, but thank you, Kristina, for crafting a triumphant trilogy deeply rooted in Black love, Black joy, and Black sisterhood. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

These characters were very easy to identify with. I really liked the way the author didn’t dwell on their backstory and yet showed how they impacted the characters in many ways. And I loved how they grew throughout the story.
Well done.

At first I wasn't sure about Iris and Angel being a good fit. But he was a much more fleshed out character in this book. The author did a good job of showing these two fitting together and falling for each other. I was glad Iris got her happily ever after.
I really enjoyed this book.
