BEE-TWEEN THE MUSIC

Love in Maplewood - Book Four

by Chantal Mer

Release Date: June 6, 2025


Review

A beekeeping musician and a professional violinist searching for what’s next is absolutely what small-town romances are meant to be full of. 


Longing, soul searching, easy romance, hot nights (and mornings…and afternoons…and showers), with some worry that they can’t keep it forever.  But ultimately - home!


Attracted by lust, but bonded by a love of music, these two fall into an easy, albeit temporary romance - but it’s clear by absolutely everyone that it’s meant to be more. And I do mean everyone, because the whole town is completely invested in their comings and goings!


It’s a lovely romance that warms the heart and has a super happy ever after.

Synopsis

After walking away from a career with the orchestra he’s played in for the last decade of his life, Dmitri Fairchild has spent a year figuring out his next steps. And he hasn’t come up with much. Burned out or midlife crisis, either way, he wants to find his love for music again.

Ever King returned to Maplewood ten years ago and hasn’t looked back. Between his apiary services, his shop, and playing his cello, the beekeeper is perfectly content. But his satisfying life feels a little less fulfilling when he meets the visiting violinist. The only problem, Ever doesn’t date tourists.

When Dmitri and Ever submit to their instant attraction, sparks fly. A fling may be what they both need to step outside of their comfort zones. As they explore new opportunities in life and in love, can they find a way to make music together and reignite lost passion?

Bee-tween the Music is a low-angst, small town, contemporary MM romance with instant attraction, a sexy violinist, a cello-playing beekeeper, and a town of nosey–um, I mean invested–neighbors.


With the highest percentage of LGBTQIA+ residents in Vermont, Maplewood is a town where everyone belongs. And with festivals year round, there’s always something fun happening! This multi-author, low-angst queer series features ten standalone romances—each set against the backdrop of a different festival. Come for the celebrations, stay for the happily-ever-afters!
