Review of Lyrical Embrace by Amber Daulton

Out-of-work violinist Erica Timberly decides enough is enough. She leaves her abusive boyfriend and flees the big city, but then her car breaks down in the middle of the night. Though wary of men, she accepts help from Dylan Haynes, a stranger driving by on the road, and soon recognizes him as the sexy former drummer of her favorite indie rock band. Maybe, just maybe, her run of bad luck is finally turning around.
Music teacher Dylan Haynes knows Erica is in trouble, and her black eye is only the first clue. The stubborn yet vulnerable woman needs a friend, but he's determined to give her everything she deserves.
Will Erica listen to the music in her heart and trust Dylan, or will her past always threaten her future?

MY REVIEW:

I AM NEW TO THE DEERBOURNE INN SERIES BUT NOT NEW TO AUTHOR AMBER DAULTON.  I LOVE HER WRITING, STORIES AND CHARACTERS.  I REALLY LOVED READING LYRICAL EMBRACE.  AMBER TAKES US INTO THE LIFE AND EMOTIONS OF AN ABUSED WOMAN WHO FLEES HER ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND.  ERICA FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND ESCAPES BEFORE HER BOYFRIEND KILLS HER.  HER CAR BREAKS DOWN DURING HER ESCAPE AND SHE ACCEPTS THE HELP OF DYLAN HAYNES ALTHOUGH SHE IS WARY OF MEN.  ERICA SOON RECOGNIZES DYLAN IS THE FORMER DRUMMER OF HER FAVORITE INDIE ROCK BAND.  DYLAN TAKES HER TO WILLOW SPRINGS, VERMONT.  A SMALL TOWN WHERE HIS FAMILY HAS A MUSIC SCHOOL AND DYLAN IS A MUSIC TEACHER.  DYLAN HELPS HER GET ON HER FEET, GET A JOB AND GET HER VEHICLE FIXED.  AS ERICA AND DYLAN SPEND MORE AND MORE TIME TOGETHER, THEY FIND THEMSELVES FALLING IN LOVE.  NOT ONLY ARE THEY ATTRACTED TO ONE ANOTHER BUT HAVE ALOT IN COMMON ESPECIALLY MUSIC.  WILL ERICA AND DYLAN FIND THE HAPPINESS THEY BOTH DESERVE OR WILL ERICA'S PAST COME BACK TO HAUNT HER?

I REALLY LOVED LYRICAL EMBRACE.  I AM A BIG FAN OF SMALL TOWN STORIES.  THEY FEEL MORE REAL AND BELIEVABLE AND I LOVE HOW THE TOWNSPEOPLE LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER.  LYRICAL EMBRACE WAS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL AND SWEET ROMANTIC READ.  AMBER DID AN EXCELLENT JOB SHOWING WHAT AN ABUSED WOMAN GOES THROUGH AND FEELS.  I LOVE THE CONNECTION THAT ERICA AND DYLAN HAVE.  IT WAS INSTANT CHEMISTRY AND ATTRACTION.  THEIR RELATIONSHIP FELT SO NATURAL AND DYLAN WAS SO GOOD AND PATIENT WITH ERICA.  I REALLY ENJOYED THIS READ.  IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS BY AMBER SO FAR.  IT IS DEFINITELY A MUST READ IF YOU ENJOY A GREAT ROMANTIC AND SUSPENSEFUL READ.  LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HER BOOKS 5 STARS
