About this listen
An R&B singer and a corporate executive find love that hits the right notes in this USA Today bestselling romance by Kristina Forest.
Iris Greene used to be a woman with a plan. But all of that changed after she met the love of her life at twenty-five, got pregnant and married…and then became a widow and a single mother all in a little over two years. Now, after years of hustling, Iris is the director of partnerships at a beauty company and raising sweet six-year-old Calla by herself. Despite her busy life, she still can’t help but feel lonely. She just needs to catch her breath—and one night, at her sister’s wedding, when she steps outside to do just that, she sees a certain singer who takes her breath away. . . .
By all accounts, pop R&B singer Angel Hughes has it made. He’s a successful musician and has just scored a brand ambassador deal with an emerging beauty company. But he’s still not fulfilled; he’s not producing songs he’s passionate about, and there’s a gaping hole in his love life. When he visits the Save Face Beauty office to kickstart his campaign, he’s delighted to see Iris, his stylist’s sister—the beautiful woman he’s secretly had a crush on for years.
Despite their obvious attraction to each other, they must stay professional throughout the campaign tour—a goal that doesn’t quite pan out. But when it becomes clear their lives aren’t in sync, can they fall back in step to the same rhythm and beat?

Story
Shy, bookish, and admittedly awkward, Lily Greene has always felt inadequate compared to the rest of her accomplished family, who strive for Black excellence. She dreams of becoming a children’s books editor, but she’s been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. Lily finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, and what begins as two lonely people connecting over email turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else Lily won’t let herself entertain—until he ghosts her without a word.

Elodie Perry is poised to be the small screen’s newest “It Girl”. Following the mega-success of the last time they worked together, it’s a no-brainer to bring her back in front of a camera with Shaw Bridges. The audience had plenty to say about their smoking hot chemistry on-screen, but their real-life romance was kept strictly behind the scenes.

For months I stood in the wings, an understudy waiting for my time to shine. I never imagined he would be in the audience that night. Canon Holt. Famous film director. Talented. Fine. Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood. From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips when Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic. But stars shine brightest in the dead of night. Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.

Critic reviews
"Readers will have no trouble rooting for their happily ever after.”—Publishers Weekly
"Charming and poignant, this third novel featuring the Greene sisters, after The Partner Plot, is recommended for all public library collections.”—Library Journal, starred review
“Kristina Forest’s The Love Lyric is a gorgeous song of a book. At times it reads like a slow jam that will make you grin from ear to ear and kick your feet. And then it’s a ballad, pulling on your heartstrings and making you swoon. Clearly Forest’s Angel and Iris are made for each other, just like the rhythm and blues that provides a backdrop for this stunning end to the Greene sisters series.”—Myah Ariel, author of When I Think of You

Story
Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially women), flirt with everyone she sees, wear something not from the business casual section of her closet—all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One problem: Avery doesn't know where to start. She doesn't have a lot of dating experience, with men or women, and despite being self-assured at work, she doesn't have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance. Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley's biggest flirt.

A perfect ending to the Greene Sisters Trilogy! The narrators were captivating and Iris and Angel made me yearn for more! Worth the wait and will definitely reread.

Such an Angel
As a first time listener of this authors work, I stumbled across this book not even realizing it was part of a series. Nonetheless, I was able to follow along with it without feeling like I missed any beats. I really liked Angel as a character because he just seemed like such a genuinely good guy despite being raised by such a hateful and hurtful woman. I wanted to like Iris as much as I liked Angel, but to be honest, she irked my nerves and I just wanted him to find someone that deserved him more. She was too indecisive for 9 of the 10 hours in this book. It was just way too much! Overall though, despite her indecisiveness, I liked this story and most of the character dialog. I also liked the narration. It was my first time listening to Ian and I think he did a really good job.

Heartwarming!
These characters were very easy to identify with. I really liked the way the author didn’t dwell on their backstory and yet showed how they impacted the characters in many ways. And I loved how they grew throughout the story.
Well done.

Iris’s story was sweet
I enjoyed reading about how everyone around Iris finally got to see her in all of you glory as opposed to just assuming they knew who she was because she was always so strong for everyone else am glad I got to experience her happy ending also.
