Alongside issues with her band (and her voice) Harper Cushing must rush to her Grandmother, as her health is in decline. On arriving she soon meets Frankie Cosgrove , whom has been helping Gran and is surprisingly charming. As country girl and rock star interact they quickly become friends, and both feel a strong attraction. But Harper has obligations to her band and a life far away from there, and Frankie has been burned in love before....

Good read, I liked Harper, Frankie and Gran, and the romance worked for me. I did find Harper's bandmates very unsympathetic... which might have been deliberate, but it made it hard to buy why Harper would be so loyal to them.

3.5 stars out of five.

My second book by CF Frizzell was good. For me, it was slow paced, but not a slow burn. The characters took time to develop and build a relationship that started out as friendly. Both MC's had compassion for each other and their struggles as well as a willingness to offer assistance as issues arose. This helped build the chemistry. I enjoyed the level of chemistry and how it grew with most interactions. Even if Grandma was around the corner, it turned into some fun scenes between the MC's. The secondary characters added to the storyline nicely, either being the push one MC needs or the reflective friend the other needed.
The angst was not superficial. Characters stayed true to their actions, so no big third act breakup. However, there still was the expected angst. It was a refreshing take on the whole angst that has become formulated in other books.
One of the intimate scenes has a unique word that I have not come across in any other romance book. The wording used to describe the female anatomy has me days later trying to how I feel. That alone has made this book memorable and it's what is important when reading.
I have since reviewed other synopsis of books by this author and added to my collection of books by Frizzell.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review for a copy of this book.

Really good book. The characters were written well, and this story grab my attention from the beginning to the end. The main characters were really good and the romance between the two was very beautiful. This story had some drama and a bit of angst, but nothing that bogged this story down. The secondary characters were well developed and made this an even more interesting story too. I liked all the musical references, and really enjoyed every aspect of this book. I would definitely recommend this story to my friends and family, and I look forward to what's next from this author.

This is a slow paced romance yet quite refreshing. I enjoyed it very much.


Thanks to the publisher Bold Strokes Books and NetGalley.

Harper Cushing is coming off a tour with her rising hard rock band, Storm. She needs to rest her voice. Her mother asks her to spend time with her grandmother who owns and runs a small store. Grams' neighbor, Frankie Cosgrove has been helping out as often as she can at the store and with Grams herself. In addition Frankie has been working her land in preparation of her first cranberry crop.

Harper and Frankie easily connect but go slowly. Harper is only there for the summer and Frankie has had her heart broken before. Much of the story is taken up with how to make changes that will allow Gram to continue to stay in her home and keep the store. But that allows time for some sweet moments as the pair work together to help Gram. The two women are both hard working but come from different worlds. As the title suggests they need to find Harmony when both get to stay true to themselves but can be together. I think the only thing missing for me in the story was more of Frankie’s background.

This is my second novel from the author and both have been thoughtful and emotionally real. There is humor, angst with just the right amount of heat. It’s an added bonus if you like music as several songs are mentioned in the storyline.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I very much enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the characters were well developed. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.


Harmony is the lead singer in a band called Storm she an always wanted to perform. After long tour she needs to rest she goes to visit het grandma Stella who is struggling she goes to help her. Frankie is running a cranberry farm when she not doing that she helping her elderly neighbor Stella who she grows very fond of but when Stella granddaughter arrive she put up a defense and they clash a little until they both realize they have Stella best interest at heart. They both soon to realize how much they actually have in common as they both took their time. I enjoy the read both characters are likable the chemistry was there enjoy their relationship with Stella.

This is story about Harper Cushing who is a heavy rock singer and guitar player. She grew up in rural Massachusetts with her grandmother who owned a country store. So when her grandmother, Stella, starts struggle running the store, Harper goes to visit and help out for the summer. Frankie Cosgrove owns a cranberry farm next door to Stella’s store and helps her out in her free time. Frankie and some other neighbors like you sing oldies on the store’s front porch in the evenings. Harper and Frankie are drawn to each other but take their time. They are each pretty mature and know Harper is only visiting over the summer to rest her voice.

I liked the musical parts of the book and the cranberry farming. Overall it was a sweet story and kind of a comfort read. Both MCs were well developed and the side characters were realistic people that added to the story. I would have liked more back story on Frankie’s past to enrich her character.

Thanks yo NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This romance is so touching. I love that it is a slow burn romance. Yes, the two main characters were attracted to each other but they realized there were many challenges that they had to overcome. To work their way through these life challenges, they had to give and take and make compromises. All to often the main character meet, jump into bed, and don't work on or even think of day-to-day problems that couples face.

I have read several of Ms. Frizzell book and enjoyed them all. The characters she creates -- main and secondary ones -- are so well developed that you really feel like they are you friends. You are cheering for them throughout their journey. Yes, there are bumps along their travels, but this is real life.

The story is interesting and will keep you interested throughout the whole book. Solid story, interesting characters, and well written. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Bold Strokes Books was kind enough to send me a copy via Netgalley for an honest review.

Finding Harmony is a sweet, low-angst romance following Harper, the lead singer of a rising rock band, and Frankie, Harper’s grandmother’s neighbor.

One of best aspects of this book is its character development. Frizzell takes the time to build her characters and make you invest in them and connect which doesn't always happen in books nowadays. It made the book even better honestly.

Both main characters are likable and relatable. There is a fun cast of friends and side characters and I highly enjoyed it.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

What a wonderful story. This is the first time reading one of this author’s books, and it was very enjoyable. The MC’s were great together, and the story grabbed me right away. There was a bit of angst, and some great sex scenes. My only regret is that I wish there was a way to hear some of the music. It was evident that Harper and Frankie made wonderful music together. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Harmony is the lead singer for the rock band Storm. After her 6-month tour she needed a chance to rest her throat and visiting her grandmother, Stella, was a refreshing idea. Her mother planned for Harmony to get Stella to sell her house and store and move into an assisted living facility. Frankie is Stella’s neighbor and helps a lot at the store. Frankie also has a cranberry farm, and I enjoyed learning about growing and harvesting cranberries. Frankie feels a strong attachment to Stella. Harmony is attracted to Frankie, making the idea of getting her grandmother to sell and move even more difficult. This is a wonderful book about making changes that become necessary and the importance of discussing how it impacts everyone. Just because time and age make changes in the body, life can still have meaning.

Finding Harmony is the first book from CF Frizzell that I have read and I can say that I will certainly be looking for more of her work. With a great story line and strong characters, I was gripped from the word go.

In this story we meet two single-minded characters, Frankie and Harper who are battling their own demons while facing the challenges that life throws their way. Harper has always wanted to be a famous musician and has succeeded in becoming the founder and lead performer in a rock band that is starting to take off. However, the intense vocals required are playing havoc with her voice and she needs to make the most of the opportunity between band obligations to give her voice a rest, if she wants any hope of continuing in her chosen career. Meanwhile, Frankie is a farmer who is battling the elements to ensure that her first crop of cranberries is a success to ensure that she has the funds available to keep the farm operating. She is a giver who also gives up much of her spare time to assist her elderly neighbour (Harper’s Gran) with the running of her store while also trying to do all the work on her farm alone without asking for help.

While at first it might seem that these two women would have very little in common and no way of finding a way to come together, with the help of a meddling grandmother and their shared love of music (albeit very different types of music), it soon becomes apparent that there may be a chance for their obvious chemistry to grow stronger. However, first Harper needs to realise that there are other options for her if she can’t continue performing and Frankie needs to learn to ask for help. What follows is a beautiful example of character development and growth through love and finding your true path. It is a story that will appeal to anyone who loves an emotionally enriching small-town romance full of fun characters and lots of friendship and music.

I am grateful to CF Frizzell, the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this beautiful story. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all opinions are my own.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this awesome book

a popstar and a farmer .... what ever could they have in common

when harper turned up at her grandmothers place with the aim of getting her grandmother into a home and selling up poor frankie didnt know what to do..... she had been helping harpers gran for several years now and had come to love her

but knowing she didnt have a leg to stand on she did her best to help both of them

what harper and frankie hadnt taken into account was the feelings they both started to have for each other and how gran might have had something to do with it all

but harpers career was still in orbit and as lead singer for storm she was needed else where

what a lovely storyline this one was.... the frustrations on both sides were evident along with the struggles everyone was having.... what a brilliant book to start my new year of reading off with

looking forward to more from this author
