Opposing Rhythms — Talia Carmichael

Impressions Series:

Impressions are made, whether it's that first glimpse, a random encounter, things you have heard about someone without first meeting them, or any number of things. They all lead to an impression, that first and immediate perception of mind or sensation each person has about another.

You form an unconscious impression, based on your visceral reaction. Many times our reactions and the way we interact is due to how our impressions are coloured.

Yet… What goes beyond that impression? What happens when you move beyond it and delve into the deeper reality of who a person is?

Impressions explores the lives of men in the fictional town of Hollisville, California. The complexities, sexuality, and love they find there. Take a journey to explore and unveil the layers that reside behind…Impressions.

Opposing Rhythms by Talia Carmichael

Book three in the Impressions Series

When a man who makes interesting objects from the CDs of a musician he cannot abide the rhythm of meets him -- the sparks are going to fly.

Niall Hilton cringes whenever he hears music from a group that used to be his favourite until after their second album. In his opinion Roarke McBride -- the band's lead singer and songwriter -- is to blame for the loss of rhythm that had made the band great. When a friend brings the singer into his home Niall is irritated by the intrusion and lets Roarke know his opinion on his music. The singer surprises him with a performance of his latest hits, which to Niall's shock he actually enjoys. He's stumped as to why. Although Niall plans not to see Roarke again, the musician is determined to change his mind. As he gets to know him, Niall is drawn beyond the persona of Roarke the superstar to the man -- who is interesting and aggravating.

Roarke McBride is used to some people not enjoying his music and is usually able to shrug it off. Niall's creations from his CD's make him laugh thinking it's a trick until Niall opens his mouth and insults him. Instead of taking it in stride as his norm Roarke is furious, at first. By the next day his thoughts are clear -- Niall might hate his music but Roarke is determined to make the stunning man his. Niall was snarky, rude and blunt but as he gets to know him Roarke sees he would stand by his side and weather anything with him. In order for Niall and he to meld they will need to combine their...opposing rhythms.
