Billingsley Book 4

I never wanted the limelight. The only thing I wanted was Conley Logan.


When words failed to express my feelings for Conley, I relied on music instead. But our love song ended before it even began, before I'd even told her how I truly felt. As a result, I watched Conley leave hand-in-hand with my bandmate instead of me.


Not wanting the fight that would break up the band, I made a choice. I lived with it every day, knowing it was nobody's fault but my own. I've moved on. I'm content with my small-town life, running a bar. But now Conley is back, forcing me to face the music.


From the way I'm still tempted to make her mine, it's as if nothing has changed-but until she tells me why she's back, I'm not sure I can trust what's growing between us.


The only thing that has changed: I'm not letting her get away this time without a fight.

My Review:

Second chances are my Kryptonite. When done right, they leave me weak in the knees and absolutely breathless. And even though both of our leading couple made me badly want to smack some sense into their thick skulls, this was a second chance romance done very right. Tim is everything my best book boyfriend fantasies are made of. He has all that sweet southern-boy charm paired with a heart that’s just too big for his body. (That’s not even counting that he’s a bartender/owner and one-time rock star.) I don’t think he got enough credit for everything he did to keep the peace. Conley is nothing like any preacher’s daughter I’ve read to this point. She’s not the wild child rebelling against everything and she’s not a prissy princess bound by the rules of the church. Though, she does have a bit of the martyred saint about her. She’s a modern woman who I think a lot of us can relate to: she’d invested way too much of her heart and time into a relationship that’s just not serving her anymore. The push-me/pull-you dynamic between Tim and Conley had me wanting to rip my hair out in frustration at ever seeing them get it right, but I adored every angsty drama-filled moment of their story. I don’t know if the author has more of their stories to tell, but I’ve fallen in love with this town full of nosy busybodies and I can’t wait for our next trip back to Billingsley.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Valentine PR & Literary Management.

About Melissa Ellen:

I'm an indie author that focuses on contemporary romance with a little bit of everything: humor, angst and sometimes suspense. I went from designing buildings to crafting stories.

I grew up as a bookworm, reading anything and everything and still try to read at least a book a week. I've always had an active imagination. Luckily, I now have time to put it to excellent use into stories that are constantly swarming around in my head.

When I'm not writing, you can find me relaxing on my porch with my husband and son or tackling my latest DIY project.
