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.

Introduction
Rifts & Refrains is the second book in the "Hush Note" series and I have to say that I adored this one so much. Its probably my favorite Devney Perry, although its a quick match to 'A Little Too Wild" I am not sure what it is when she writes with these two other authors, but its MAGIC and this book tore me up so much and had me in so many feels! I knew from the beginning that this book would kill me emotionally and it definitely did that, but it had so much beauty and heart and redemption that I couldn't get enough of this one. If you love rock star romances, then this must be a must read for you and I loved that the rock star in this one is a female. We rarely see that in rock star romance and the author did so much wonderful recognition on that.

Summary
Quinn And Graham were once childhood sweethearts, they practically grew up together and fell in love at sixteen years old. They both had dreams but wanted to build those dreams together. But when they both made mistakes, they lost each other at eighteen and never looked back. Now Quinn is a infamous drummer for a rock band, and she is living the dream but her heart has always belonged to Graham and when her grandmother passes, she will have to return to her hometown, to her family she has neglected and the man she never forgot. But as she returns, she will have to face up to the demons of her past, reconcile with the loss of her grandmother but also rediscover a love with Graham worth fighting for this time around...

My Outlook
Rifts & Refrains was such a captivating story and my heart and soul was all in this story. I am honestly still speechless after reading this one. And its the best of the trilogy so far, we will see if Nixon's book will be redeemed for me. But Devney Perry really knocked this one out of the park and more. I just couldn't get enough of this one and in this story we have such sweet redemption between all the characters. Not only in the romance but also with her family members. I think what really worked so well for me was seeing the way in which these characters find their way through to each other. Its definitely rough, and they both have made mistakes, but their hearts still yearn for each other, and we see how they rediscover that love they have both hidden in the deepest parts of themselves and now its coming to the surface and seeing their fighting spirit for what they was what really made this story so beautiful. I adored seeing the way in which Quinn finds something more and repairing her relationships with her family especially, and what really made it so tender was the broken relationship with her father being rebuilt. And what truly charmed me was her relationship with Colin (Graham's son" who is a drummer and loved seeing that relationship just blossom!

Overall View
Rifts & Refrains was a powerhouse of a romance that delivered breathless emotion, poignant character growth and precious intimate moments that breathes life into the reader!

I'm not sure theat there isn't anything that this author cannot write. She takes small-time America and makes it mainstream. Even within a rock and roll lifestyle, she manages to keep her characters true to who they are.

Loved Quinn and Graham. I did want a few areas fleshed out more in regard to her family but this was still another hit by one of my favorite authors. ( )

Second chance romance.
Single dad Hero.
Heroine left to pursue her career.
Hero is very bitter about her going, the details are revealed slowly through the story.

I felt the story is quite sad to start. As a reader you are told the heroine left but not why or why everyone treats her so badly.
They obviously feel abandoned esp the Hero but the heroine is really hurting.

During separation both with others.

'Colin was the evidence that Graham hadn’t waited long to find my replacement in his truck bed. I, on the other hand, had waited three years before dating, if you could call two dinners and lousy sex with an executive at my label dating.
I hadn’t bothered much with men since then. They were a distraction and required energy I just didn’t have, not when I was pouring myself into the music.'

'I haven’t been in an actual relationship with anyone in a . . . a long time.”
“How long? Specifically.”
Her shoulders fell. “Nine years.”
The same was true for me. There’d been a few casual hookups but nothing with a commitment.'

Cute kid, not a prop.
Dual POV.

I felt a bit that the Hero didn't apologize enough for not supporting her and moving on so fast. They were young but she is treated like the black sheep and I would have liked to see more regret expressed to her from him.
Esp with how fast he moved on, yes they'd broken up but he excuses it as a drunken fling.
The kids mother has given up parental rights so she's not on the scene.
Also the heroine had a lack of support from her family and the Hero is close to them, it just felt to me that they didn't make it up to her enough.
She and her dad make up, as they had a huge fight when she left but she had to seek him out otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

HEA.
Epilogue.
Preview of next book. ( )
