His Melody

Fire and Ice #4

by Tara Conrad

They keep telling me time heals all wounds. But is that really the truth or something people say to ease their conscience?
I think we adjust, change course learn to live with the suffocating grief.
I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. A man like me doesn’t get a happily ever after.
I knew better. That mistake won’t happen again.
I’m starting over with nothing left to lose.
I just hope when the dust settles, they can forgive me. ~Viktor

If you have read Natalie and Alex’ books then you know that you love Viktor. You want so badly for him to find his happily ever after. Who that will be with? That’s the mystery you need to decide and I personally didn’t expect this character to be his pair up but I am loving every second of it. I won’t spoil anything because the journey is 1000% worth it but I can tell you that I CANNOT wait to get my hands on his second book to see how it ends up.

This is Viktor’s story and what a story! I fell in love with Alex and Natasha then you will fall in love with Viktor! ❤️
This storyline is about the gorgeous blonde and blue eyed Viktor and a dangerous job. His former boss Maxim is in the storyline, and this is an exciting, action packed and suspenseful book! There also may be love for Viktor but not with who I thought it would be.
I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Viktor’s story is just begging. He has loved and lost a lot so he feels he is unworthy. There is one light that has come into his life and brings him out of the darkness but he can’t have her. She young beautiful and completely off limits but the heart wants what it wants. Amazing story can’t wait to read the second half.

This book is about Viktor. If you've read the fire and ice and loved Viktor and was waiting for his book this is it. I was so excited to read about Viktor and hoping he can get over Natalie and find love but you wouldn't believe what happens. I'm kinda torn because of who it is not really digging the person that he's getting feelings for with the whole issues and age gap but I'll wait to see what happens in 2nd. I received this ARC in exchange for honest review. I highly recommend this book

I was not ready!!

I was not prepared for all the emotions in this book! Wonderful age, gap, and forbidden love! Was not expecting it to be a novella! 10 out of 10

[Silke]

His Melody continues the Fire and Ice series and it is finally Victor's turn! For me, he was the hidden hero in the previous books and I'm so glad that he will - hopefully - get his own well-deserved HEA soon. To get there, he has to go through more personal pain, a life-and-death mission and accept a new position. Just when things are getting interesting, when he's ready to admit his feelings for the new woman in his life, the book ends on a very abrupt cliff-hanger. Thankfully, we won't have to wait too long for the second part!.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Viktor finally got his own story and it did not disappoint. After being heartbroken in book 3 of the Fire in Ice series by Natalie your heart just hurts for Viktor. I fell for his character then and even more so in this one. He goes through so much heartbreak that you just want to give him a big hug and for him to finally find his happy ever after. The risks he takes to find himself again have you sucked in from start to finish. This book has plenty of heartfelt moments, action and suspense. I highly recommend reading, just as he starts to fall for the one us as readers are left with a cliffhanger! As much as I hate cliffhangers I absolutely loved the book and can’t wait to read the next book to be able to jump back in to Viktor’s story!

“I’m not the right man for her. Nothing good can come of it if we’re together.”

Viktor story is sad, heartbreaking and soul crushing. Having to leave the love of his life and walk away from everything he needed and wanted has now taken a toll on Viktor.

He ventures into a mission to save girls from begin trafficked with little regard for his life he submerges himself in a world full of sick man who buy and sell woman as a commodity. After this mission his boss pulls him off jobs and puts him in therapy, the one place he doesn’t want to be.

After some time his boss Max sends him across seas to be a security detail for his daughter Amelia while she goes to college. After living together they both start seeing each other in different eyes. Tara leaves this book on a cliffhanger and has you dying to get the next book!

Great read, I enjoy Tara’s writing style! Can’t wait for the next book!

[Sara]

I didn’t love this book. The first half really seemed to drag and I was like 3/4 if the way through the book before I even knew who the love interest was.
I did enjoy the second part of it once we got to California, but it took me quite a while to get that far; it only held my attention for a few minutes
If I recall correctly, this was considered an adventure romance. To me, that means adventure with romance in it but this was more of adventure and then romance.
On the other hand, I did really enjoy the book once we got to California and finished it in one sitting. I was disappointed by the end, but it was definitely a good way to bring me back around for the next book :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
.
I first read about Viktor in Alex and Natalie’s story in the living for him series. He was the sweet bodyguard who fell in love with Natalie and rose only for that to be ripped away. When I heard there was going to be a book on Viktor I was excited.
.
I’m still not sure how I feel about this book, it felt a little rushed in places and the love interest surprised me, in a good way but still wasn’t expecting it. The abrupt ending just as the story was getting good made me gasp but not long to wait for the next book 😬 Viktor is such a sweet soul I really hope he gets his happy ending

Hello My Lovelies

His Melody
Tara Conrad
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶🌶🌶🌶

I was so excited to read His Melody after reading Submitting to Him and falling in love with Natasha and Alex. I truly enjoyed the way Tara Conrad writes her books. She puts the right amount of love and spice with a great plot to pull me in and everytime I'm hooked from the very beginning. Plus I love how she adds BDSM in each book. I love hot books and Tara Conrad is a professional when it comes to HOT!! I enjoyed reading Viktor's story and learning more about the boy since he was a man in Natasha's and Alex's story. I truly can't wait to read the next book in Viktor's story.

10/10- highly recommend

[Lauren L. Moon]

can I just say 🥺 I wanna hug Viktor and tell him everything is gonna be okay.

His story is sad. As he has to leave the love of his life and walk away from everything he knew... It obviously takes a toll. And I say he deserves a BREAK!

Does he let this sadness? The heartbreak? The loneliness get to him? NOPE! His new mission is to save girls from being trafficked 🥺 I was SO SAD but at the same time. Who willingly puts their life on the line to save others?? NO ONE! 😩 Gimme Viktor!

Tara held my heart the entire time, her writing is so amazing and really shows her talent. I wish there wasn't a cliffhanger but that leaves me wanting SO MUCH more!

Respectfully give me the next one 😂

[Readwithnikki]

What a story! It has all the elements: romance interwoven with a hint of mafia, suspense, and more. Viktor’s quest to mend his broken heart and find love once more. It’s the ideal pacing, which makes you more eager for the next installment. I can’t wait! OMG! I screamed NO! DON’T BE THE ENDING! because of how unexpected the finale was. PS: I loved the chapter page's design and the unique character names {Olena and Nikita} Also, it took me a while to understand the reasoning behind the book cover lol slow much.

[Susan]

I've been waiting for Viktor's story as I felt so sorry for him after he lost Natalie from the last book in the Fire and Ice series. To me, it's emotional and hard to turn off feelings. Please note that this book ends on an abrupt cliffhanger, but I'm ready to see him get his HEA as he has always been the true unsung hero in the previous books - much more than Alex in my opinion. This book was a little slow at times, but it did pick up to make it an overall enjoyable read. I received an advanced copy and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

[Cherise Adams]

Tara Conrad continues to build such a fluid world than draws you in and makes your heart feel for these characters. In His Melody, Viktor finally gets the redemption and love he deserves and has tried so hard to fight.

As with the others in the series, the characters are saving lives and kicking butt. Viktor still gets his fill of danger and action. Unfortunately, almost the entire book is build up to the next one coming out in October. It ends on a cliffhanger that came so abruptly I was shocked that there was no more book left.

[jade]

Well if you have read Tara’s previous books you will no doubt have enjoyed them and met Viktor .

This story progresses with Viktor feeling low and depressed and then falling for what is forbidden fruit and someone I think none of us saw coming and Tara defiantly through us a curve ball with that one.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t believe Tara has left us on the edge of our seats like this and I’m wanting the next instalment asap now .

[Hollie Senn Bookish Reviews]

Omg this book... this is Viktors story and im completely taken back by this beautifully woven book... Hands down a must read. Tara completely engulfed me in this story and brought me through all these emotions.. completely invested in Viktor.. must read

4/5⭐️
0/5🌶️

Oh my poor Viktor. This book has definitely ripped my heart out for this man. To watch him grieve what he couldn’t have killed me but I cannot wait to see what the next book brings for him and Amelia!

[Cindy Bond]

Beware, major cliffhanger!

I really enjoyed this book. Viktor needed a new outlook on life since all he's known is loss. Plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting.

[Linda]

I was starting to think that Viktor was never going to find love. He finally finds it at the end of the book and ends with a cliffhanger. Good story , can't wait for the next one!

[Lori Hammons]

Viktor is feeling a full gamut of emotions. Danger, suspense, and more fill him while he works through his issues. I was thoroughly engrossed as his journey unfolded in this book.

[Lynn Stifle]

Terrific story. My heart hurt for poor Viktor and I can not wait to see what happens next with him and Amelia. A riveting read from beginning to end.

[Evonna]

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't think I could fall in love with Viktor anymore but I was wrong! He's an amazing guy and struggles with his past. After all of his losses it's no wonder he takes a dangerous mission alone. I found myself looking at each female character introduced and dismissing them all as to weak to be right for Viktor.

But fate always has a way of leading you to your destiny. She has suffered so much and is finally moving forward to overcoming her past. She's following her dream of pursuing music and goes to California to do it far away from everyone she's known or cared for her since her rescue. But she's not going without security. When Viktor gets assigned to guard her she decides that's perfect for her. Now if only she can convince him they are right for each other.

I was so absorbed in this book I was surprised to find I had finished the book. I love the characters in this world and cannot wait to see what is next!

[Wendy Livingstone]

This is the 4th book in this series, and this is Victor’s journey. This story ends in a cliffhanger, and I look forward to the 2nd book. This is a well written story which is an emotional roller coaster, with grief, family, loss, heartbreak, action, suspense, intrigue, twist, healing, and is a heartfelt and compelling page turner.

[✨BuggyGirl✨]

This books is mainly set up for the next one. I will say I really really don't like age gap romances.

I hope I enjoy the next book but it would be nearly impossible even with me loving both of these characters before the relationship even starts. I hope Viktor finds his happy ending
