ARC received for an honest review

What can I say - I have missed CJ Duggan's stories, and she has come out of the blocks with another wonderful story.

We have all had a crush on a rock star. Hoped to meet them and have them fall in love with us - then we wake up!

Sadie gets that chance when a washed up rock star starts living and working on her property.

I loved that she did not bow down to the all mighty Nathaniel Black. She's not going to fall into his bed like a groupie, she gives him hell - and it is the best medicine for him I think.

But more than anything - there is a bigger character in this story than Nathaniel or Sadie that I just loved and want one of my own - but I don't want to give away who/what it was.

I live in a small town, so I get the small town jerks, the prejudices that people are confronted with, the politics at play. I completely got that vibe from this town too. And wanted to kick people in the nuts haha!.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Beyond Here Lies Nothing. I loved that yes, there were issues, but they were dealt with like adults and there was not too much angst.

This is different from what I have read by CJ Duggan in the past, and I hope we get more like it in the future.
