I'm new to Negeen Papehn and already a fan. Set to Music was fabulous.

Anthony Castillo, his brother and their band are the hottest thing on the music scene. Dr. Darya Zameen is the devoted Persian daughter her mother trained her to be and too busy getting her career started to worry about dating. Her mother's devastating cancer diagnosis has Darya accepting Anthony's offer to tour with the band as his brother's doctor. Can a serious doctor and a hugely famous rock star find love and build a relationship?

This book had "all the feels". The slow burn between Anthony and Darya was sublime. Watching them get to know each other and become close was entertaining and heartwarming. The band members and Darya's sister and mother added greatly to the story. Everyone was so likable. The dedication to family on both sides was touching. The back and forth between Anthony and Darya as they try to navigate a difficult relationship situation was alternately sweet and frustrating in a gripping way. Darya's mother's medical situation was gut wrenching and the source of a lot of the tears.

I highly recommend this book for its character development and plot. Any fan of a good happily ever after is sure to love Set to Music.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley and Entangled Publishing/Amara.

Dr. Darya Zameeni is an ER doctor in her first 6 months at a famous Los Angeles hospital. Carlos is a famous rockstar in the band Teneura. They bring him into her ER one night after collapsing on stage. With Carlos' overprotective brother, Anthony, by his bedside, she attends to him and ultimately diagnoses him with a heart condition.

This is a very sweet story about a focused Iranian doctor and a rockstar used to getting what he wants. Darya is asked to go on tour with Teneura to look after Carlos and make sure he is ok. With her mother dying of Cancer and her younger sister needing to be taken care of, Anthony offers her three times her salary to go on tour with them. An offer that Darya cannot resist. As Darya and Anthony fall in love, she realizes her over protective Mother will insist she marry an Iranian man.

I really enjoyed reading about the Iranian culture and their customs. I felt it overstated like her devotion to her Mother and her beliefs. This book is not all sweetness. There are some very angsty parts that draw you further into the book. Set to Music is very well written and not your typical romance. While the characters were very realistic, I felt that a little background would have gone far as to explain why they acted the way they did. A very solid four starts!

Set to Music: Darya is a doctor in her first year of residency, Anthony is a rockstar trying to take care of his little brother. Carlos needs around the clock monitoring, and Anthony wants Darya to be the one to do it. When Darya's mother is diagnosed with cancer, weighed down by thoughts of student loan debt, taking care of her mother and her sister, Darya decides to take his offer.

This book hit hard in so many ways. As some currently avoiding dealing with my own feelings about my father's cancer diagnosis, I sobbed as I read this at 3am. I know the main focus of this book was supposed to be the romance, which I throughly enjoyed, but I really resonated with Darya.

She was the daughter that her mother hung her hopes and dreams on, but also her pain was given to Darya as well.

The romance was great, Darya and Anthony really clicked as a couple and I enjoyed reading it. I do think it happened pretty fast, but that's parr for the course in these types of books.

A sweet and angsty love story between two people from different worlds - one, a rockstar and heartthrob of millions and the other, a young doctor who would go to any lengths to protect her family, even give up the one she loves.
Dayra Zameeni is hired by rockstar Anthony Castillo to join his band, while they are on tour, to keep watch over his ailing brother who is in need of constant medical attention. She accepts the offer as the money would help with supporting her family. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love with Anthony, who is nothing like what she imagined him to be.
The characters of Anthony and Dayra were very well- written and their siblings were also very endearing characters. It was refreshing to read about a Farsi household with their dialogues and mannerisms blending in with the story. But I think the author went overboard in trying to emphasise the Iranian theme. The phrases 'Iranian mom', 'Iranian daughter' has been used so often in the story that after a point it grated on my nerves.
Overall, a quick and enjoyable read. Thank you Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for providing a digital copy of the book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

While the "falling in love with a rockstar" trope is not my favorite, this was well-written and kept me invested in the story. Reading about a Persian family was interesting and I liked how Darya and Anthony saw similarities in their cultures. I'm hoping this continues into a series.
