Cypress Pointe, Florida, is a long way from LA, where pop singer Cassie Branford needs a hit to prove she's not a two album wonder. But her case of writer's block could be over when the struggling songwriter meets Luke Hastings at a family wedding.
The legendary musician walked away from success at the height of his career. Yet Luke is already inspiring Cassie with his dedication to building a permanent community outreach center for troubled teens. Volunteering to help bring music into these kids' lives is also bringing her and Luke closer. Maybe they're not as different as he thinks…
MY Thoughts: This is a cute and sweet story. The characters have both had a lot of heartache and suffer trust issues. The story is one of forgiveness and learning get to love again.
I found the story to be well written and a pleasure to read. I am writing and getting this post ready to publish using slow wi-fi in KOA away from home. I will try to write a better review when I am home and not worried about auto correct.
I am moving giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. My thanks to Prismatic book tours for providing easy to use and copy info for this post. 😓

I am home with reliable wi-fi and my laptop. I thought I had read through the above review carefully before posting, because I am notorious for missing auto correct on my phone. I am leaving the typo, just to illustrate my point. It is Prism book tours, not Prismatic!!! (Aye, aye, aye)
I enjoyed the story of Luke and Cassie. Both of them are down to earth people, in-spite of their fame. They have a connection with their community and really want to help the people who need them. They are genuinely likable characters.
The romance is sweet. It is not too intense and not instant love. The characters are cautious and get to know each other before expressing feelings of devotion, or kissing. I loved the pacing of the story, most of the characters, and the compassion shown.
This is a wonderful book to pick up for the summer, sit on the porch, go to the beach, camping, or picnic. However you like to relax and and enjoy a book. :)
USA Today Bestselling Author Tara Randel has enjoyed a lifelong love of books, especially romance and mystery genres, so it didn't come as a surprise when she began writing with the dream of becoming published.
