Goodreads Blurb –
Sam Castleton has fame, houses all over the world, and one really big problem—he’s got an album due and he can’t write. All he wants is a quiet place to get his head straight. Dale, Georgia, seems like the perfect quiet spot to try to hear the music again and get some lyrics down on paper.
With her daughter’s paternal grandparents making a sudden appearance and the difficulties of running her own lodge and being a single mom, Faith Adams doesn’t have the time to worry about the mysterious stranger staying in one of her cottages, no matter how sexy he is.
Her newest guest may be surly, but his money is good, so she’s willing to overlook his surly nature. If only she could ignore the way he awakens a searing hunger in her.
My Thoughts –
I asked for a copy of this book on Netgallery because the book blurb sounded interesting. It wasn’t until I was halfway through the ebook, when I looked on Goodreads and found it wasn’t the first book in a series of books. Not the first time it has happened to me, it’s really annoying but it doesn’t matter as the book can be read as a stand-alone book, and they work really well. In saying that I really liked this book, I think that Arianna Hart is a great writer. I now want to read the rest of the books in the series.
The book follows a single mother Faith, and her cute as daughter, Piper and their life as they go through ups and downs with a few twists and turns to make their lives just a little bit harder. Sam, a rocker star on the edge of destruction, who finds himself in a little country town, where Faith and her daughter lives, to detox from alcohol and the high life that he is living, that is essentially killing him. With 2 months of paid complete silence at Faith’s bed and breakfast ranch, Sam learns to become the man he knew he can be. With no alcohol, a great company and food to take his mind off the life he used to lead, Sam starts to write music again and learns to fall in love.
“This wasn’t how she’d been raised, how she wanted to raise Piper. How could she bankrupt her morality and then tell Piper to do the right thing? God, what a hypocrite” loc2315.
I loved this book. It took me a little bit of time to read it, but that is not because it was a bad book, but rather not enough reading time. I loved it from the first page to the last page. It’s about love and redemption, learning to trust and being yourself. It is about a lot of things, but the one thing I love the most about this book, is that is about family.
Great writing, great flow, just an all-round great read for anyone who loves romance novels as this one will make you cry for sure.
I give this book 4.5 out of 5 Booky Stars!
