Love in Maplewood Book 4: Bee-tween the Music by Chantal Mer

Love in Maplewood Book 4

After walking away from a career with the orchestra he’s played in for the last decade of his life, Dmitri Fairchild has spent a year figuring out his next steps. And he hasn’t come up with much. Burned out or midlife crisis, either way, he wants to find his love for music again.

Ever King returned to Maplewood ten years ago and hasn’t looked back. Between his apiary services, his shop, and playing his cello, the beekeeper is perfectly content. But his satisfying life feels a little less fulfilling when he meets the visiting violinist. The only problem, Ever doesn’t date tourists.

When Dmitri and Ever submit to their instant attraction, sparks fly. A fling may be what they both need to step outside of their comfort zones. As they explore new opportunities in life and in love, can they find a way to make music together and reignite lost passion?

Bee-tween the Music is a low-angst, small town, contemporary MM romance with instant attraction, a sexy violinist, a cello-playing beekeeper, and a town of nosey–um, I mean invested–neighbors.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

After a terrible break up and leaving his career with an orchestra, Dmitri is figuring out what next. The break up may have been a blessing in disguise because his career was starting to take a toll on him. Losing his love of music isn’t something he ever wanted, but how could he not be tired by the pressure of it? Now, Dmitri finds himself in Maplewood and what started as staying just for a week to record an album with his friends, he finds himself staying longer and longer. And that is mostly thanks to Ever. The connection between Ever and Dmitri is instant. And though both have their own past bad relationships, they find themselves breaking their own rules for one another. Ever’s biggest fear now is the day Dmitri tells him he is leaving. Because how can he not when he has so many opportunities left for him? But Maplewood keeps surprising Dmitri in more ways than one. While he is falling hard and fast for Ever, he is also finding his love of music again. I adored Dmitri and Ever! They were this adorable insta-love couple who deserve all the love in the world. They deserve their happy ending. I loved getting to know these characters in this fun place! Another great book in this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
