"I loved this book. LOVED. The suspense is wonderful, the hero is HOOOOTTTTT, and the writing is fantastic. It's one of those books where you tell yourself you'll just keep reading one more page before you put it down, but it sucks you in and you CAN'T put it down."
--Deirdre Martin, USA Today Bestselling Author

"Music of the Night sings. Tightly woven action is blended into a suitably moody atmosphere as the two worlds of the protagonists come together in harmony. Beyond the excellent mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end, the insight into the artistry of music is fascinating."
--Amanda Killgore, Huntress Reviews

"…An unforgettable story. . .. The author keeps the tension throughout the book for Anna between her fascination for Nicholas and her duty as a police officer. The characters are so well drawn that the reader is also caught in the tension. Nancy Herkness has a rosy future in romance, no matter what subgenre she chooses! Don’t miss this one. It’s a keeper!"
--Jean Hanke, ReaderToReader.com

FOUR STARS. "Highlighting the power and intrigue of the music world, and the charisma of top conductors, Music of the Night is a wonderfully fashioned, very suspenseful peek into life at the top of the classical music food chain. The author's descriptions of what it means to hear powerful music in Carnegie Hall are right on."
--Bunny Callahan, Romantic Times Book Reviews Magazine

"Exhilarating! Ms. Herkness most fittingly uses the magic of Carnegie Hall as a backdrop for Music Of The Night. Exquisite love scenes and fast paced intrigue turn this novel into a reader's delight."
--Heide Katros, The News Chief, Florida

"Music of the Night has the bright, believable characters Herkness is so good at creating, plus the elements of international intrigue, danger, a chameleon of a gunman firing guns backstage at Carnegie Hall and, of course, steamy sex."
--Meg Hibbert, Salem Times-Register

"Once again, Nancy Herkness displays her wonderful flair for giving us an unconventional, non-clichéd romance hero. Nicholas Vranos is a hot (and I mean hot!) world class symphony conductor….The plot starts out moving quickly and only picks up suspense and momentum as the pages turn. You won't want to put this thriller down until the final, crashing crescendo!"
--Joy Nash, USA Today Bestselling Author of Deep Magic and Immortals: The Awakening

"Another winner! . . . Ms. Herkness builds suspense the way a master composer creates a symphony. She weaves mesmerizing sexual tension with the discordant terror of a murderer loose in Carnegie Hall, never losing the rhythm of the lovers’ dance."
--Sherrill Lee, Amazon.com

"…Really good suspense with lots of twists and turns and a few surprises, and also a wonderful, sensuous romance that will keep the reader turning the pages. This is the kind of story the reader will talk about for some time after. Rated: 5 Hearts"
