Second Chance Love Song (Dynasties: Beaumont Bay, #3)

by Jessica Lemmon

He chose country music over the one who got away.
Well, now she’s back…

Country music star Cash Sutherland is too successful for his own good. Seen as a bad boy in need of redeeming, he and his label are doing all they can to revamp his reputation. They’ve even hired eager journalist Presley Cole, who’s ready and willing to print the cover story that will make both their careers. The only problem? She’s the woman he left behind, and she’s not ready to forgive that long-ago broken heart…

Solid Harlequin Romance. This is a Harlequin romance of the classic type, though they're trying to get away from the somewhat infamous cover set apparently. :D

For those that love that style - and there is a very clear business reason why the publisher puts out so many books of exactly the same style - know that you're getting exactly what you're after here. Solid romance, a couple of sex scenes, a Hallmarkie type plot and conflict resolution (with a fair amount of angst to boot), etc. This book is perfectly within your comfort zone, and it is a solid, fun, and short-ish book to boot. So go ahead and hand over the money you know you're going to anyway, and have fun. :)

For those that are more hesitant, perhaps *because* of the infamy, know that if you're open to the romance genre at all, this one is going to be pretty well exactly what you expect (see above). It is truly enjoyable, but also very much within the conventional bounds of the genre. Some heartstrings pulled, and a fun (if foreseeable due to genre rules, but still interesting in exact manner) resolution that plays on a bit of a darker moment from earlier in the book.

There really isn't much more to say here. Again, if you're open to the genre at all, you're going to have fun with this book. If you're not, you probably aren't even reading this review. ;) Very much recommended.
