Book Description

Feb 2003

Brash and bold, Bess Stallone is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary gift. Though she was born on the wrong side of the tracks, fate and a God-given talent join forces to catapult her from the humble shores of Rocky Beach, Long Island, to the spotlight at Carnegie Hall, alongside the great David Montagnier. Unattainable, famous, and impossibly handsome, David holds the key to Bess’s dreams—and, more surprisingly, she holds the keys to his.

But David’s brilliance masks wounds that may never heal. When their romance is shattered, Bess must make a fateful journey back to her music—and to an unexpected lover who is waiting in the wings.

5.0 out of 5 stars realistic yet beautiful love story 20 April 2002
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Rocky Beach, a working class town in Nassau County, Long Island is home to Bess Stallone (no relation to the movie star) who defies her parents to take piano lessons from the music teacher at her school. She enters the competition to go to the prestigious Julliard School and works many part time jobs to pay for her lessons. She is a musical prodigy who is so afraid of performing in front of an audience that she faints whenever she tries.

When David Montagnier, a former child prodigy, comes into her life, he wants Bess as his partner in his two-piano repertoire. He isn't afraid she will faint and embarrass them both and as time goes by, she becomes one with David and the music while overcoming her stage freight. The pair is together both professionally and personally until tragedy strikes and Bess must find the courage to go on alone.

New York Times best-selling author Sally Mandel has written a realistic yet beautiful love story that will warm the heart of readers. Bess' meteoric rise to fame feels like it could happen to anyone who has talent. HEART AND SOUL is a heartwarming work that will be placed on the romance reader's keeper shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Love Story 19 Aug 2002
By Jeanne Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I'm a sucker for a love story. Heart and Soul is just that and it is not a sappy one either. It is about Bess Stallone, a tough Long Island girl who just happens to be a gifted pianoist. She talks with a foul mouth, has a very good sense of humor, you can't help but like her.

David is a virtuoso known throughout the world. He is handsome and very famous, in need of a new partner at the piano. The long and short of the story is that he picks Bess and works with her as they become a pair on stage and off. She is so much in love with him and he her.

It is a story told before of course, girl from the wrong side of the tracks hooks up with the pretty boy. Same old story but this one really will grab you and touch you and also make you laugh. David is a tortured soul who ultimately caves in and falls apart as does their relationship. There are such tender moments though in this story.

Of course there is also Jake, her forever friend and the one who has always loved her since 7th grade and will be there for her at the end when she needs him.

I loved it. If you are looking for a good love story this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart and Soul 5 Mar 2003
By Ms. T. D. FULLER - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Very few books do I read the last line and and then just sit there and go "Wow" but this is one of them. The humor helps with the emotional upheavals. Loved it.
