Melody Mires has sworn off dating musicians, but when the sexy European conductor Wolf Braun takes over her struggling symphony, her hesitation almost flies out the window with the notes of her flute—until he opens his mouth. Wolf is arrogant, haughty, and seems to have a personal vendetta against Melody. Oh, and he’s her boss. If she wants to keep her job as principal flutist, she’ll have to impress Wolf while simultaneously keeping her undeniable attraction to herself.
Wolf came to America to get as far away from his past as possible, and to recover some of the swagger he had as one of the world’s best maestros. He never imagined being forced to reassess the entire orchestra’s talent—and potentially fire anyone who doesn’t make his cut. Dating the attractive flutist is out of the question, but as their feelings reach a fever pitch, can they risk both their careers for a chance at love?
Playing the Maestro by Aubrie Dionne is without a doubt one of my very favorite kinds of books to read. There is nothing I love more than a sweet yet sassy romance to clean my palate between the darker, paranormal books I also enjoy. I just wish I had more time to read them all.
Melody is such a fantastic character-you can’t help but connect with her from the very beginning of the story. Her humor, her love for her friends and family and her absolute passion for her profession make her immensely lovable. Then we have Wolf- he is the complete package, in my opinion. He’s sweet, he’s gorgeous, he’s smart and he loves kids! He is just totally swoon-worthy. At least I think so. I promise, if you read this book-you’ll agree!
Dionne has crafted a fabulous story with humor, amazing characters and a sweet romance. I loved every moment and I really cannot wait to read more of her work. I have a new author to follow, I recommend you all do the same.

About the Author
Aubrie grew up watching the original Star Wars movies over and over again until she could recite and reenact every single scene in her backyard. She also loved The Goonies, Star Trek the Next Generation-favorite character was Data by far-, and Indiana Jones. But, her all time favorite movie was The Last Unicorn. She still wonders why the unicorn decided to change back to a unicorn in the end.
Aubrie wrote in her junior high yearbook that she wanted to be "A concert flutist" when she grew up. When she made that happen, she decided one career was not enough and embarked as a fantasy, sci fi author. Two careers seems to keep her busy. For now.
Now for the professional bio:
