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?

My Review:
Beautifully written, full of passion and simply incredible, Playing the Maestro is pitch perfect! The story is so realistic and detailed that I felt that I was experiencing the let downs of dating fellow musicians and falling for the untouchable conductor.
Melody is the uber-talented flutist who has had nothing but bad dating experiences. Wolfgang came to America to start a new life away from the drama back home in Germany. Melody and Wolf start off on the wrong note instantly but get to know each other and actually make beautiful music together.
Aubrie has written a heart-warming read with Playing th Maestro. I instantly fell in love with the characters especially Violet. If it wasn't for her, Melody and Wolf would've never went out. Afterall, everyone should listen to 5 year olds =)
About Aubrie
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:
