About the Book
The right song can touch your soul…
Becoming a songwriter was never on Sydney Campbell’s radar. No; she chose a music major to one day inspire children as an educator. But all that changed when she met him…
Paired together on an important assignment, Austin Mitchell—the country star wannabe—quickly becomes the bane of her existence. Majoring in partying, his carefree attitude causes the duo to clash at every turn.
Despite the tension, they make beautiful music together, creating a song powerful enough to change the trajectory of their lives…
Forced together, the two battle to cope with their budding attraction as they struggle to navigate the pitfalls of the Los Angeles music industry.
Working as a team allows them to grow closer, however, outside forces keep them from fully committing to the partnership. And Austin’s carousing, along with his revolving door of one-night stands, doesn’t help Sydney trust his dedication.
The opportunity of a lifetime hangs in the balance.
Will they finally sync to become stars? Or will Austin’s actions make them just a one-hit wonder?
My Review
Ugh! What a book! This is the first installment of this trilogy. It’s so much more than your rom-com book or contemporary romance book. This book deals with some heavy topics such as addition and mental health. I appreciated the way that the author handled both of these topics. I’ve been a family member of an addict and sometimes they have to hit rock bottom before they want to get help. This author had Austin hit rock bottom; it was very realistic.
Sydney was a fantastic character; while she is “curvy,” she is just so much more than that – she’s strong, and bold; she’s talented, sweet, loyal, and just everything you want in a person. It got to me how much she put herself down sometimes, but that’s real life – I should know, I’ve been there.
The romance between these two is full of angst. They both want each other, but don’t let it happen. But she cares SO much about him. She wouldn’t bail him out of sticky situations if she didn’t. I feel like I’ve been that girl, so she was relateable.
I love/hated the ending. I loved it because it was a great ending. I hated it because I wanted more! I want so see what happens between these two.
My one downfall is that I felt some of the dialogue was a little immature. However, this is still a MUST READ book!
