Development (Songs and Sonatas Book 2) Kindle Edition

Summertime … and the living is easy.

Unless you’re dating the next big pop star, and your meddling parents are holding you hostage more than a thousand miles away.

Okay, so maybe that’s a tad dramatic, but after spending all the time I want with Jonathan during the school year—playing music and helping him fill out the rest of his album—being separated is harder than I expected, but I manage to convince my parents to let me visit for at least part of the summer.

Despite interference and roadblocks, the summer is full of new opportunities and our time together is everything I want it to be.

But none of that changes the fact that when the summer ends I’m headed back to college while Jonathan starts his North American tour.

How am I going to handle it when we spend more time apart than we do together?

Continuing Jonathan and Gabby’s story, Development is the second installment in the Songs and Sonatas series. If you love coming of age stories about finding yourself and standing for what you want in the face of opposition, don’t miss this hot new take on the rockstar romance genre!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome series!

The Songs and Sonatas series is Jerica MacMillan’s best work yet! I love, love, love that this is so much more than a college romance. A rock star and a classical violinist? Yes, please!
Before I go any further … please don’t be put off that this series is the story of one couple, told over the course of three books. It’s handled brilliantly. The writing is sigh-worthy, and the characters are fabulously developed. I love that each book takes us to the next step in Jonathan and Gabby’s relationship as it blossoms into a lasting love.
Book one, Double Exposition, is all the feels, all the anticipation, all the excitement of new love. I finished it with a sigh of contentment, excited about all the upcoming possibilities. And I was not disappointed.
Development seamlessly picks up where Double Exposition left us. Their love is deeper, the stakes are higher, and more obstacles are thrown their way––Gabby is back at Marycliff, Jonathan is on tour, they are apart more than together, and parents are meddling. And through it all, Gabby is faced with some unexpected choices and tough decisions. I love watching her mature from a wide-eyed freshman to a confident and talented young woman who knows what she wants and stays on the path to get it. And I love Jonathan for her! He may not be without his flaws, but he will do anything for his girl.
I’m on pins and needles to see where the conclusion to this awesome story will take us! Five swoony stars to Development!

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017
Development (Songs and Sontas Book 2) by Jerica MacMillan is the second book in her Songs and Sontas series. I highly suggest that you read the first book before this one as this one picks up where the first one left off with Gabby and Jonathan's story. Their story was hot, sexy, steamy in the first book and it continues to be in this one. I have enjoyed this author's books from the first one I have picked up. She never lets me down in her books and I know what I am getting every time I pick one up. This story pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me engaged throughout the story. These characters will take you on a roller coaster ride of various emotions that you won't be able to put down. In this installment of this series Gabby and Jonathan are still trying to prove to everyone that their love is real and isn't going anywhere. Life will through struggles at them but is their love strong enough to break through them? As their musical careers grow will it break them apart? One of my favorite parts with these characters is to see them grow and how strong their determination is. Their love is strong but sometimes love can not stand the stress of life. I found myself hoping that these two find their HEA. These two really are great together, they have such great chemistry. You will just have to read this series to find out what I mean with them. They just grow throughout this story that makes them that much stronger. The secondary characters are just as great in this story. I don't think it would be the same story without them. I highly recommend this book as I know you will want to see what happens with Gabby and Jonathan and the challenges and battles life puts them through will amaze you.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder; Part two of Gabby and Jonathon’s sexy story and Jerica MacMillian has me cheering for them all the way through! I’m hooked! It’s a magical combo of sweetly romantic and super steamy hot, making this story another wonderful read that I could not put down! Overbearing obstacles with good intentions keep Gabby and Jonathon emotionally on edge every second of everyday as they try to prove to the world their love is here to stay, no matter how far their musical aspirations pull them apart. So many new developments, new possibilities and new horizons spring up for both Gabby and Jonathon that strains and strengthens their love, while it has everyone around them doubting how the sweet young couple is going to make it all work. Another sexy, NA romance by this wonderful author that makes me excited for the next part of Gabby and Jonathon’s love story and all that lies ahead for them in their musical careers!

Jerica MacMillan is becoming one of my favourite writer, the second book in her Songs and Sonatas series was just as excellent as the first one, she did not miss a beat. Can't wait to read Recapitulation to finish Jonathan and Gabby's story.

Development is the second book in the Songs and Sonatas series by Jerica MacMillan. It is a continuation from the first book, so I recommend reading that book before starting on this one.
This story picks up where the first one left off. It is summer vacation, and Jonathan is in California, which may as well be a world away, in the process of preparing for his upcoming tour. After a little negotiation with her parent, and agreeing with their terms, Gabby finally joins Jonathan there. She’s excited to see him again and Jonathan is so happy to have her with him again. But not everyone is as happy about their relationship, which puts added pressure on these two young lovers. Add in a meddling mother, a less than friendly agent, all the media scrutiny- and it’s a wonder they’ve even made it this far.
An opportunity presents itself for Gabby, which opens up a few unexpected doors for her, and also allows her to extend her stay with Jonathan. But, all too soon summer comes to an end and Gabby has to return home. How will they make this long-distance relationship work, especially when he sets off on his tour?
Another great instalment in this fantastic series. I loved how Ms. MacMillan was able to introduce some real character growth and development into this story. We see Gabby slowly beginning to stand in her own power a little more- as well as both Jonathan and Gabby growing both personally and professionally. They really are so great together and I can’t help but cheer them on from the sidelines.
Again, I dived right into book three before I even thought about reviews- because I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next.

Thank you, Ms. MacMillan!

Nothing wrong with the actual writing but I dunno, that felt like a whole lot of words for nothing happening. No action, no real drama, no excitement and just a repeat of the same old sex scene. Hopefully book 3 will liven up a bit.
