BLURB

Marcus Temple escaped his despised birthplace, driven by his passion for music. Now a sophisticated, world-class cellist, he must return when his mother suffers a severe stroke. Going back also means dealing with the woman whose heart he broke when he left—Mattie Bendixon.

More comfortable in overalls than orchestra seats, Mattie's childhood dreams were simple—working for her grandfather's construction company and building a life with Marcus. His ambitions forced her to abandon one goal, and now her beloved company is also under threat.

Mattie thinks she sees a way to save Bendixon and Sons—if she can convince Marcus to stay in his hated hometown for one month. All she has to risk is her heart.

MY REVIEW OF ALLEGRO COURT

I have posted my review and rating of Allegro Court on Goodreads and Amazon.

Brenda also wanted me to share my experience on my blog too. So here you go.

My Review Title: A Second Chance Romance

Mattie Bendixon starts off resenting her childhood friend and crush, Marcus Temple who left their small town to pursue his dream.

After a slow start, things evolve between professional cellist, Marcus and construction worker, Mattie. When they were together, their banter and chemistry was good. However, I felt my emotional connection with Mattie and Marcus could have deepened if they had spent more time together than apart.

In fact, I felt as if I knew more about the secondary characters, Jason (Mattie's grandfather) and Lorraine's (Marcus's mum) love story.

There were times I wanted to hit Marcus on the head because of his 'distant' attitude toward Mattie. He had lots of hang-ups about his childhood that he eventually sorted out with his mum.

But in the end, Marcus and Mattie got their happy-ever-after despite both of them taking their precious time to accept they could not live without each other.

I wish there was more to read about Marcus and Mattie after they ended up together.

Overall, it was a nice second chance romantic tale. Two couples got their happy endings.

My Rating:

I give 4 fruit bouquet to Allegro Court by Brenda Margriet - For a nice story with gentle emotional connection. I wish there was a deeper connection with the characters.
