About this listen

From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, a competition between a classical violinist and a rockstar cellist sparks a sizzling chemistry in this book that’s perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez.

“100% pure magic.” —Christina Lauren, bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners


Gwen Jackson is a self-taught professional violinist. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite—a rock star cellist with a bad attitude. They both play in the Manhattan Pops, and their styles couldn’t be more different.

When Gwen is offered first chair of the orchestra (a role Xander has coveted for years), she can’t help but notice a hostile sense of competition between them … but also an electric chemistry, as they’re forced to work together. As they compose and play songs together, it’s clear that their powerful connection could make for a performance that will blow everyone’s minds.

But can their slowly growing romance survive the pressures of success?

The story is 4.5 I felt the ending ended a little too soon, which means it's a good story. I am so impressed with the voice acting from both vas. I love the cello suites, Oliver's voice is 🫠, Savannah's different voices for each character is so cool, I can really get into the story. Thank you Julie for making this love story.

Sucker for a musician romance, listened multiple times.

I love them. I love them, I love them, I love them.

Alex (Xander) and Gwen ruined me.

I'm not sure what Julie Soto infused in the pages of this book, but it was magical.

First of all, I absolutely loved that we had cameos from Forget Me Not. I loved that book too and when an author incorporates their books within the same world with some of our favourite characters as side characters it makes my heart so happy!

Gwen's talent as a musician was wildly unrelatable for most of the population, BUT there was something so real and relatable about her character that I felt an immediate kinship and connection to her. I was immediately intrigued by Alex right from the get go. He had this very mysterious, moody and arrogant musician err about him, but it was fascinating in a way that had me desperate to get under his layers to understand who he was as a character better.

The connection between Alex and Gwen was tangible. You could feel it in every interaction. Every secret look, every touch they shared, and every note played. They were two musicians at the top of their craft, speaking a language of their own, that all the bystanders, including the reader, were just happy to be witness to.

Their connection moved beyond their instruments. The cello scene!?!?...😮‍💨🥵

These characters have found their way into my heart so deeply, I just know this will become a comfort reread for me.

Something I always appreciate in a book is strong character development. I felt as though Alex and Gwen used their own strengths to lift up the others' weakness. Where Alex had confidence in spades, he taught Gwen to not only play better, but to embrace her own dreams and pursue them for herself and no one else. Where Alex was lost, floating from gig to gig, Gwen grounded him and taught him to put his energy in what really matters.

Not Another Love Song just shot its way up to one of my top books of the year.

I love them
