“The author's background as a lifetime musician and captain of the technology industry shines throughout the novel. There are dabs of entrepreneurship and musicianship to help paint this picture, and they work beautifully. Another reviewer noted that the book should be read by every male interested in becoming involved in a serious relationship, and on many levels I couldn't agree more. This novel takes men to the softest part of their softest side. And gets away with it. As for women, well, I expect they'll enjoy every word of it. A great first novel.”
