“The worst.” He placed his hands under her butt and lifted. “Should I stop?”
“I’ll murder you if you do.”
Hailey Odom’s life is out of tune. The bar she owns with her father is a Texas-sized money pit that she has four months to save. Her mean as a snake ex-husband is breaking their daughter’s heart daily. And the town of Zachsville hates her guts for something that was only fifty percent her fault.
And oh, right, she just ran out on her own wedding.
Beau Callen’s life is hitting all the right notes. Dubbed “The Heartbreaker” by his adoring female fans, he’s living the country music stardom dream. At least until an “altercation” lands half his band in jail and the other half in the hospital, this rising star could use a temporary place to crash.

To make it all work, they’ll have to keep their hands off each other and their eyes on the prize. Too bad their hearts are singing a different tune.
Don’t miss Running After a Heartbreaker—A hilarious friends-to-lovers, sexy musician with a heart of gold, determined single mom, small-town swoony romance.Risking it all—again.
My Review:
I’ve been really lucky of late to read a series of books that were just so good they’ve left me speechless. This one doesn’t break the pattern. I adored Beau. I have from the moment he first stepped on the page however many books ago that way. He’s a true Southern charmer, just like his cousin. And all that charm gets him into just as much trouble as it gets him out of. I’m not quite sure why, but I really connected with Hailey. None of the events in her life mirror mine, but I find myself repeating a lot of her actions. It broke my heart to watch her do those things, especially knowing the consequences that would be coming her way. Lottie is just the most adorable ball of precocious energy. With her too-wise observations, this book would have been a very different story without the con-artist in the making. I loved getting the chance to see how all the previous couples from the series are making out. And even though I don’t have a clue where the series is going to take us next, I’m looking forward to the journey. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
