Product Description

From Booklist

Country music heartthrob Jonathan Van Castle, on the run from overenthusiastic groupies, barges into the shop of the one woman in town guaranteed not to be impressed by him, his music, or his fame. Lily's husband is dead, her livelihood is in danger, and her concern is only for Jon's two children, whom he hasn't seen in years. Gradually, Jon comes to see Lil as the answer to his dilemma. He arranges a marriage of convenience in order to wrest custody of Melanie and Michael from Belinda, their abusive mother, but comes to love Lil for herself and to enjoy the loving atmosphere she and her unconventional extended family create for him, his children, and his entourage. As the custody hearing approaches, Belinda's greed overcomes her good sense, and Jon realizes just what a treasure he has found in Lil. Corgiat's Missouri Ozark-based contemporary romance starts slowly and builds rapidly toward a shattering climax. Lynne Welch

This review is from: Sing Me Home (Paperback)

Neglecting routine maintenance on their car resulted in her husband's death. Three years have not healed his loss or their unborn child. Now her brother's death brings the inevitable close of his less-than-profitable bookstore, "Merry-Go-Read." In the final days before closing, curious circumstances bring a stranger into the store. She does not recognize country music star Jonathan Van Castle, perceiving his behavior to rude and his lack of knowledge regarding his own children inexcusable. When she later finds another book in the series that Jon purchased, Lil sends her younger sister to make the delivery. She comes back engaged.

Dodging a pack of fans, Jon ducks into "Merry-Go-Round" to escape. He finds startling blue eyes and surprising anonymity. He has come to town to pick up his children for the summer while their mother cleans up again. When Lil's younger sister Mari shows up to deliver the book, for the sake of his children, he finds himself proposing. His troubled children certainly need a loving feminine influence. But when Mari takes him to meet the family, Jon discovers it's the older sister that holds the potential of stealing his heart.

A warm and touching story, SING ME HOME is one of those wonderful romances that truly captures the heart. The strong characterizations spring vividly to life from Lil's initial disdain of Jon's lack of knowledge regarding his children to her motherly touch with the children. While the extended cast of characters can be a bit much to keep up with, their individuality makes each one a delight to encounter. Filled with joy and laughter, pathos and challenges, SING ME HOME comes very highly recommended.

This review is from: Sing Me Home (Paperback)

I chose this book partly because of it's title and partly because of the story line on the back of the book. This author is unknown to me but if you're looking for a well written, romantic story then this is it. I will definitely read her next book when it comes out in november of this year. The characters are believable and very enjoyable.
