Juliet Lyman loves her job as Senior Executive at Yesterday Records, but the job does have its tricky spots. Her icon boss, Gideon, instructs her to fly to the Island of Majorca in Spain and bring back lyrics promised in a contract from three time "Grammy" winner, Lonel Harding. He is late in producing the songs and has already received an advance of $166,000. Her mission: bring back the lyrics or the hefty advance. Knowing her job is on the line, she can not fail. Majorca, here I come!

Juliet meets Lionel at Casa Rosa, the palatial estate he has borrowed from a ski buddy. At 42, Lionel is sophisticated, handsome and charming. However, when questioned about his promised new lyrics, he is evasive. He tells Juliet he is broke and over extended and has no wish to write any more love songs for Gideon. He tells Juliet if she extends her stay for two weeks, he will tell her about his fractured relationship with Gideon. He blames Gideon for wrecking his one and only true love with Samantha and ruined his life. How can he write any more love songs when he no longer believes in love?

Anita Hughes works her magic weaving the story thread in a picture-perfect postcard location. Juliet falls in love with the panoramic views everywhere; green valleys, mountains, and always the deep blue of the Mediterranean. She meets Gabriella, a lovely young lady who, with her family, run an outstanding restaurant in their beautiful home. Gabriella has the voice of an angel and Juliet sends a tape of her singing to Gideon. He immediately offers her some fabulous perks in CA but Gabriella opts to remain on the island and marry her long time beau that she has loved forever. A surprise to Juliet that love is more important to Gabriella than fame.

This is a charming and romantic story of finding love and second chances. Lionel and Juliet are delicious and their banter is funny. Music and Majorca is magical and I enjoyed this read and recommend it to all. You will love it!
