Synopsis: LONNIE:
I came to Tennessee to help a friend.
And now, I’m stuck.
By the Southern charm,
By the sweet tea and
By a tall, red-headed "Strawberry Shortcake."

And when my world crumbles apart,
Wynn is there to help me pick up the pieces.
To show me the way.

WYNN:
My life was a huge disappointment.
My marriage,
My job,
Everything slipped away.

Coming home seemed like the final failure.
But then I meet him,
Lonnie Brennan, the sexy bass player,
Who adds laughter to my life.

And now, I realize that I can
Change my tune,
Sing a new song.

Review: This is out of my typical genre, but I absolutely fell in love with the cuteness of this book! I loved every moment of this story. I feel that the writing was superb and the story was cute and binge worthy. The book read like a romance movie. The book didn’t shy away or cheat the reader from the more difficult moments either and the story and plot were expertly written. I feel like the characters were also very well developed as well and realistic. I feel like I cheated because I’ve not read the other books, but I’m definitely going to start now!

The only issues I had was that it almost felt like in the beginning that it would be cheesy and the story would be one that was already told, but it wasn’t at all.

Verdict: A romance book for the ages.
