Blurb
I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise.

MY REVIEW

Alyssa's guitarist is late, and it's about to cause a major problem at this wedding that she's planned. Then he walks in, drenched, looking like he hasn't a care in the world, and she's...annoyed? Charmed? Attracted? All three and more. But Rafe isn't exactly who she had thought, and when she finds out just who he really is, it may unravel everything they've started to build between them.

Dexter's been running for so long, hiding his pain, that he isn't quite sure what to think when a beautiful woman assumes he's someone else. But she's the first person he's been drawn to in so long that he can't bring himself yet to reveal his true identity. Alyssa is blunt, she's bossy, and she doesn't care he's a rockstar in hiding. Or maybe she will care, when he finally tells her who he is. He wants her to love him for his true self, but in telling her that, will he lose her?

Though painful at times, Aly and Dex's story is so heartfelt and so beautiful that it made me shed a few tears. There's something about a hidden/mistaken identity story that always gets to me, but here, it's even better because the real identity is so raw and yet Dex is so hopeful that Aly can love him for that person he truly is. I always love Claudia's writing, but I think Every Shattered Note is so lyrical that it's poetic. That's it - this is a lyrical poem disguised as a love story.
