A desire they never imagined… New Orleans has always been a musical city, and April Knight quickly fell under its spell. Despite the challenges of poverty and disillusionment, April defied everyone to realize her dream of becoming a celebrated cellist. Buoyed by her success, she's returned to the Ninth Ward to share her encouragement and enthusiasm with the local youth, unaware of a new passion that awaits. Years ago, Damien Alexander encouraged April to follow her ambitions, even as he followed his own. Now he has the opportunity to revitalize his old neighborhood, and he needs April's grace and charm to woo investors. Instead of the platonic arrangement they expected, a swift and intense spark of attraction suddenly changes the dynamic of their relationship. Will they be able to help their community and answer the sweet, sweet melody of love?

Ugh! I really, really liked this book through about 60% of the story (4 stars like) -- I loved the unique career of the heroine, the interesting topics the book addresses, and the fact that the hero & heroine have real conversations.
BUT.... the heroine is too perfect - everyone loves her, etc , the book got preachy and it was hard to read until the end.
