4.5

Diverse cast of characters: No

" 'Soulmates whose destiny is written in the stars.' "

Rhapsody Of The Stars is my first by Bhat, and it won't be my last. A beautiful, lyrical take on a musical romance of the century.

Sophia Kade and Kairo Knight are soulmates; destined for a heartbreak and love lost. Kairo Knight is everything you want in a rockstar; hot, musical, loyal to a fault. Sophia Kade; devasting childhood, but has a good heart.

When they meet, their connection is instant. Even when she kidnaps him, you can tell that Kairo feels something for her. I'll be honest, I don't like the miscommunication trope, but their relationship is something for the books. Even through all the twists and turns they go through, you can tell they love each other; despite them not knowing it themselves.

Everyone needs to read this, whether you're a music lover or simply a contemporary romance reader.

I cried by the ending, it was simply beautiful. And the last 3 chapters? Tear my heart in half, Bhat. You forever hold a piece of my heart.

"I want you, Sophi, more than my next fucking breath,"
