Blurb: On Perfect Harmony, the ambitious competitors heat things up on stage and off…

Cody Rivers is determined to be a rock star, but couch-surfing between bar shows gets old fast. Joining an a cappella group for a new singing competition show could be his last chance at real fame—unless the college boy from the heart of the country messes it up for him.

Lucas Norwood is everything gothy, glittery Cody is not—conservative, clean-cut, and virginal. But when a twist in the show forces them together, even the sweetest songs get steamy as the attraction between them lights up the stage. Lucas wants to take it slow, but Cody’s singing a different tune—and this time it maybe a love song

Cat’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Not only is this a great book but the cover is awesome as well.

I am going to keep the rundown short as the blurb above captures the story nicely. Basically Cody’s agent got him a gig on a hit TV an acapella show. His group is him and four other friends of his. Cody only does one night stands and does what he has to do to keep a roof over his head. If that means a blowjob with a producer then so be it.

Lucas is out as gay, but his school has an abstinence contract. Lucas believes sex should only be between married couples be they gay or straight. His group doesn’t last long but a twist puts him in Cody’s group.

I can safely say I loved this story, thought I haven’t read one of Anna Beth’s I haven’t fell in love with.

Cody and Luca’s characters were very unique and complimented each other so well. The story line reminded me a bit of a fanfiction for TV program and was like reading the show instead of watching, but I found that quite fun. There is a lot of camaraderie, fun flirting, tears, and some pretty hot sex scenes.

You may think this is a predictable romance, I picked it up figuring it was but sometimes I need to know what I am getting. There were a couple twists and some things didn’t turn out like I thought they would. It is a great story with a happy ending and a little bait for the next book which I can’t wait for

If you are looking for the perfect summer read on a hot day. Grab this, curl up under the air conditioning with a cool glass of your favorite beverage and enjoy a sweet, sexy romance.

If you like new adult, coming of age, acapella music, and a sweet and sexy romance I highly recommend this!

Aerin’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 4.5 Hearts

I love it when an author gets better and better, and Mrs. Albert definitely does. This is a bit different from her previous MM books, but I liked it a lot! I can honestly say Treble Maker is my favorite book written by her to date.

The plot of this story is a talent/musical/acapella competition which seemed real and was entertaining, while not taking the focus away from the romance between Lucas and Cody. Lucas and Cody start off as “enemies” of some sort, both members of different acapella groups. They are as different from each other as night is from day.

Cody is everything virginal, wholesome, innocent Lucas isn’t: a promiscuous man, with a rock star Goth sex appeal, sure of himself and set to reach his ultimate goal. I really liked the differences between them, and I especially loved the bad boy corrupts the innocent virgin theme.

Both main characters are complex and interesting, and we certainly get to know them both very well. Their romance felt real to me, nothing was overdone, and Lucas’s family drama was well written without making it seem trashy. The secondary characters are also complex, not to mention different.

We have the petty drama and cattiness a competition like this brings forward. There’s some backstabbing and betrayal that inadvertently makes an appearance in situations like this. But everything rang true and it didn’t overshadow the plot. I liked and got annoyed by many of the secondary characters, and mostly I found things to love and get mad over within the same characters.

One thing I really liked was the sex between Lucas and Cody. It was hot, intense and the connection between them was always there. I think the fact that Lucas was a virgin and all his sexual experiences with Cody were new to him, made the sex scenes even more intense. The HEA put a big sappy smile on my face and it felt very satisfying.

I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next. I’d definitely love to read Trevor’s story.
