This book didn't end up with too much musicality, but it was a nice book.Cassandra is a pianist who refuses to perform because of all her social anxiety issues.

Pianist novels are often on my auto-buy just because some people are able to draw the music and the emotions that go into it so well. Review 2: I'm not usually a Harlequin Presents fan, but this one was free and it involved a pianist so I had to get it. The romance finally came but too late in the story, in my opinion. They both had the hots for each other but hid it so there was no sexual tension. While I enjoyed The Shy Bride, I found the friendship they were trying to find silly. Generally, I didn't find this pair to be a good match. Cassie was the first person to say no to him. Neo was a rich alpha male that was used to having everyone do as he says, immediately. I though that Cassie's agoraphobia was explained well in this book without making her look completely insane. The gift was given to Neo who is a Greek billionaire who works constantly and rarely socializes.The characters were interesting and neither were typical people. This was purchased as a gift for a huge amount of money. Cassie donated a years worth of lessons to be auctioned by a charity.

She is so bothered by crowds that she rarely sees anyone in person. She's 29 and never been kissed mainly because she was always performing and didn't have a chance to have a social life. But she still composes and records at home. Review 1: Cassie was a reclusive world-class pianist who suffered from agoraphobia and eventually stops performing in public.
