Music & Lyrics Book 5
Jace was the last remaining single member of Court’n Jacks, an up and coming country music band…and he couldn’t be happier. He’d spent years as guardian of his two younger sisters, but now they were all grown up and they didn’t need him any longer. He welcomed bachelorhood…or he would just as soon as he could get Court’n Jacks latest album finished. Unfortunately, that seemed to be an impossibility as he searched—unsuccessfully—for the elusive ‘thing’ missing from their music. With the upcoming tour looming and the deadline for the album fast approaching, he had no other choice than to ask for help. He just didn’t think it would be from the hot guitarist he’d heard playing in the studio late one night.
The last thing Maeve needed in her life was drama that came in the shape of a six-foot, grumpy musician with control issues. Unfortunately, she needed the job. She could suck it up for the next couple of weeks if it meant getting her car fixed and having the money to send her son to summer music camp. It was just too bad that six-foot, grumpy musicians were her catnip. So what if it had been a long time since she’d had any adult cuddling…she could keep her hands, and lips, and tongue, to herself, couldn’t she?
*This is a ‘Too hot to Handle’ Romance on the Emma Lea rating scale - These are definitely 18+ reads and contain graphic sex scenes and high level swearing – not for the faint of heart
My Review:
It feels like forever ago that I started reading this series. (It wasn’t anywhere near that long, but I binged all the previous books at once so this one is definitely feeling like the outlier.) Jace was the force holding the band together; the responsible older brother taking care of everything. Maeve had a childhood that was just as unconventional as Jace’s, just in some very different ways. Together, they’re a perfect pairing – if they can keep from killing each other. They’re not quite opposites, but their strengths and weaknesses dovetail nicely with one another. When all the emotional baggage both Jace and Maeve are carrying around started interfering with how they understood each other, I despaired of ever seeing them get it right. I was so glad for that ending. Now, I’ll have to start the series over at the beginning to keep from being too sad that it’s over. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
