Book Review: Country Gold by Heatherly Bell

Wilder Sisters Book 1

"Luke’s unwavering loyalty to Lexi and her family gives this sweet romance unexpected integrity ...Readers looking for a tender romance that leans more toward the emotional than the physical will find this very satisfying." ~ Publishers Weekly

"Country Gold is a chart topper! Heatherly Bell two-steps her new series onto the stage with a sweet but realistic love story. " ~ 4 stars, In'Dtale magazine

A second chance...

Luke never asked to trade fame and fortune for the only woman he's ever loved. Now that he's finished a punishing year-long national tour, all bets are off.

He's coming back to his hometown of Whistle Cove for the quiet, the beaches, the inspiration, and the girl. Not necessarily in that order.

Because whether Lexi Wilder knows it or not, she's coming back to Nashville with him where she belongs...

"Country Gold is a chart topper! Heatherly Bell two-steps her new series onto the stage with a sweet but realistic love story. The juxtaposition between Lexi and Luke is unique, as she has spent most of her life on stage and his fame is almost a fluke. Lexi's burn-out is palpable, as if her heartbreak, dimming Luke's hopes of patching things up between them. You don't have to like country music to love this couple and their happily ever after. " ~ 4 stars, In'Dtale magazine, November 2018 issue

"If you love Alphas, you will LOVE Luke." ~ Goodreads reader

"Bell writes romance that will capture your heart." ~ Marina Adair, #1 National bestselling author of Summer in Napa

"Bell's romances are the perfect escape." ~ Jamie Farrell, national bestselling author of The Officers Ex-Wives Club

Romance fans will find all the usual meet-cutes and secluded moments that they know and love from the genre, mingled with an original emotional narrative on Scott's part. I would definitely recommend Unforgettable You to contemporary romance fans everywhere." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, 5 Stars on Unforgettable You

My Review:

Let me start by saying I loved Luke. He’s sweet and charming and he completely adores Lexi. Lexi on the other hand drove me to distraction. She absolutely still loves Luke, but she’s bitter and vindictive and blames him for problems she’s more than half the cause of. This pair certainly has chemistry. The sparks between them sizzle from the page, and they don’t even have to be in the scene together for the reader to feel it. I started this series because I received a review copy for the third sister, and I hate starting a series anywhere other than the beginning. I’m glad I started here. These are some fascinating characters and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for them. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
