Desire by Design Blog Tour: Top Ten List of Favorite Music

mail

Desire by Design

He stole her job, and now she's stealing his heart.

Eve Doucette finally almost has it all. She's free from her mistake of an ex-husband and just landed her dream job: project manager for a new City Hall and drafter of the final design. That is, until a handsome architect sweeps into town to commandeer her blueprints.

Famous architect Matt Brison is unsatisfied with his mundane life in Toronto. So when the mayor of Halifax asks him to spearhead his City Hall project, Matt jumps at the opportunity. There's just one problem: the feisty and beautiful project lead, Eve, who isn't exactly thrilled about her new "coworker" hijacking her design.

But when the sparks begin to fly, they both find themselves falling for the colleague they shouldn't want. And before they know it, their already shaky foundation might come crumbling down.

I really don’t listen to music when I write. I have to have quiet. I do, however, like music to relax to, and here in Atlantic Canada, we have some fantastic artists. These are a few of my favorites:

1.    Ben Caplan and The Casual Smokers - Conduit
2.    Joel Plaskett - A Million Dollars
3.    Dance Theory - A.N.A.F.
4.    Jenn Grant - Eye Of The Tiger cover
5.    Jenn Grant - Dreamer
6.    Mo Kenney - Sucker
7.    Matt Mays - Loveless
8.    The Stanfields - Death and Taxes
9.    Ben Caplan and The Casual Smokers - Beautiful
10.    Carmen Townsend - Start All Over

  1. It's actually nice to hear about an author who doesn't work with music on...I can't concentrate on anything if music is playing and sometimes that makes me feel like the odd one out when I hear that authors all write to music and readers read with music playing!

    1. I know a few authors that have playlists that inspire their writing but they've told me that they don't actually listen while writing - just before and after for inspiration.

  3. I can't write with music either, unless it's very quiet, and then I tune it out anyway. Desire by Design looks like another great Bliss book.
    Thanks for sharing!

  4. Great blurb and LOVE the cover!

    I can't work with music either, unless it's in the far, far distance. I need silence and complete alone-ness.

    1. I have it on low in the background while I read. I barely even hear the words so I'm not sure why I bother lol

  5. I've never been able to write and listen to music either. :) Still love music though. Love the list and the blurb sounds interesting. :)

    1. I can't workout and read. (I don't write so that doesn't apply) and I can't listen to music on my headphones while reading but I like it in the background. But as I said earlier it's so low it doesn't interfere much. It's more background noise for me.

    I already knew after read your post about on fwiwreviews.net so how bout men should get same level as well. It is a alternative site for all people.I also signature this site.So I want to share Live music photography is all about catching when, encapsulating the energy, enjoyment, elegance or pain of the songs without being able to listen to a single observe. This is much easier said than done, as limitations of space and light can really restrict what a photographer is able to accomplish, but there are ways in which you can improve your possibilities of getting those show interpreting photos. These days, you will get some tips for capturing live songs and more than 60 live songs pictures to help motivate you.

    Many many congratulation for your Article.
