Living in a world of lyrics, she sings his song and he is powerless to resist. Peter is held back by a lack of self confidence and interacts with people as little as he can manage to get away with, that is until willowy Chloe is assigned the desk next to him, she has other ideas. Peter soon gives in to her siren song and lets Chloe seduce him but he just does not know how to deal with this beautiful woman and her lusts. Does Chloe have the patience to teach him to play in harmony with her natural sensuality or will he be forever doomed to a solitary life with only his music for comfort?

Peter lives in his own world. He is happiest when he is listening to his music and doing his job. He doesn’t interact very much with his coworkers until Chloe starts working there. Now he finds himself sharing his lunches with her and having to engage in small talk, which he is terrible at.
I loved this book and could relate to it on several levels. Peter is more comfortable dealing with numbers than people and loves his music. He has to come out of his comfort zone when Chloe starts working beside him. She is beautiful and he is attracted to her but he is socially inept. He feels he is not attractive because he is overweight and has a hard time believing that she is interested in him.
They connect through music. It draws them together and Chloe is determined to draw him out of his shell. She likes big men because they make her feel safe but she can’t convince Peter that she is attracted to him. He has a hard time taking complements and I can understand that even when they come from a loved one. If you are uncomfortable in your own skin, you don’t feel pretty or handsome.
I also liked the fact that the tables were turned and it was the woman going after the man she wanted rather than the man pursuing the woman. Chloe had to work to get Peter to open up to her. I actually felt sorry for Peter because he has this beautiful woman trying to get to know him and he doesn’t know what to do with her. The scene in his apartment had some sweet and tender moments. In the end, through music they managed to make things work.
My face was literally aching by the time I finished this short story due to the fact I had the biggest smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. Peter is a loner, happily living in his solitary world of music, his own self-imposed barrier to the bad things he has experienced in his life. Chloe is the new girl at work who annoyingly distracts him from his earphones and woos him with her own lyrics. Will they make sweet music together? The story flows beautifully, I had an enormous fondness for Pete and I loved Chloe's feistiness. A feel good, funny, smile like an idiot book. I loved it!
