I have never, in my life, read a novel in a single sitting; let alone a romance novel. But this book had me in its grips instantly. I read this book cover to cover in a single night, sitting up into the wee hours. I devoured this book and loved every second of it.
Annie Mathers is country music’s favorite daughter and also their favorite tragedy. Having lost both her famous country music star parents at a young age, the world is waiting for her to follow in their footsteps and take the stage in her rightful place as country music royalty. Clay Coolidge is country music’s bad boy. Always in trouble and on the verge of losing his one shot at his dream, but the record label has the perfect fix to Clay’s bad image and Annie’s reluctance to step on stage. The tour to end all tours; one great summer with America’s sweetheart and a few months out of trouble should keep Clay in the label’s good graces.
Annie and her band agree to join the tour and from the start fans see sparks between the two young country stars and rumors fly off the pages of tabloids everywhere. Annie and Clay can’t help but wonder if what the fans are seeing is real. But if there’s one part of fame Annie wants nothing to do with, it’s involvement in a high-profile relationship. Annie isn’t interested in repeating history, but she can’t help thinking to herself, “But if I close my eyes and wish it all away… Let my stupid heart decide, there’s no doubt in my mind, you’d be mine.”
I don’t read romances, like ever. But this one called to me in a way I can’t explain. And let me tell you I’m glad it did. I cried as I closed this book and added it to my very small favorites pile, knowing well and good I’ll probably pick it up again one day if I need a good love story. It’s the perfect summer read, and you should try it out for yourself, even if you’re like me and don’t normally read love stories. This one might just change your mind.
