Blurb
“This is
a bad idea.”
“The
worst.” He placed his hands under her butt and lifted. “Should I stop?”
“I’ll
murder you if you do.”
Hailey
Odom’s life is out of tune. The bar she owns with her father is a Texas-sized
money pit that she has four months to save. Her mean as a snake ex-husband is
breaking their daughter’s heart daily. And the town of Zachsville hates her
guts for something that was only fifty percent her fault.
And oh,
right, she just ran out on her own wedding.
Beau
Callen’s life is hitting all the right notes. Dubbed “The Heartbreaker” by his
adoring female fans, he’s living the country music stardom dream. At least until
an “altercation” lands half his band in jail and the other half in the
hospital, this rising star could use a temporary place to crash.
The last
thing Hailey or Beau needs is a scorching hot romance messing with their plans.
So when Hailey rents Beau her backyard guesthouse and passions blaze hotter
than the Texas sun, their dreams are in serious danger of going up in flames.
To make it
all work, they’ll have to keep their hands off each other and their eyes on the
prize. Too bad their hearts are singing a different tune.
Don’t
miss Running After a Heartbreaker—A
hilarious friends-to-lovers, sexy musician with a heart of gold, determined
single mom, small-town swoony romance.
My Review
Once again I’ve ventured out from under my rock and taken a chance on a new-to-me but apparently popular author. My respite from darkness certainly paid off and, just like that, Albright secures herself a place on my list of must-read authors with this hilarious, delightful, heartfelt read!
Single mom Hailey Odom has rented out her house and moved her things, but at the final hour she has a disagreement with her fiancé and leaves him at the altar. Just one little detail she's forgotten: she returns home to the same house she already rented to her friend and up-and-coming country music star, Beau Callen. Let's just say things get very interesting when Hailey's sleep is interrupted in the middle of the night by the new tenant. (Picture a six-foot-plus hunka hunka bunking temporarily in the only available space -- nine-year-old Lottie's princess bed.)
Hailey has been blamed for more than her share of mishaps in small-town, small-minded Zachsville, Texas. She does her penance by being on every volunteer committee and letting the PTA moms walk all over her while she tries to keep the bar her mother left her afloat. I’m not sure the last time I met a heroine who did so much growing and self-actualizing as Hailey, and her stubbornness makes her fight it every step of the way, but that only makes Hailey's transformation that much more inspiring. It’s sobering when she realizes the lessons she's been inadvertently reaching her daughter, but it’s beautiful and uplifting as Hailey makes her own community and family, one of her heart and her choosing.
Then there’s Beau, one of my favorite kind of heroes. Unrepentant flirt with a sexy smirk whose protective of his lady and not hesitant to stand up for her, but knows when to step back and be supportive. That doesn’t mean he’s a pushover because, when Hailey needs it, Beau doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. He has a big heart, especially when it comes to little Lottie, and his interactions with her are some of the most poignant, special scenes in the book.
Whether you like single parent, friends to lovers, small town romance or strong four-legged secondary characters, there's something for every romance reader in this romantic comedy. You’ll laugh out loud as it squeezes your heart, and you’ll be eager for another visit to Zachsville and more of these amazing characters.
