August Lane by Regina Black
I feel like I’ve been waiting for more stories like this to hit in romance. In it, we meet Black country music star Luke Randall, whose career is on its last leg. He’s stuck performing “Another Love Song,” over and over again, which he hates, but bills need to be paid. Then he gets the chance to open for JoJo Lane, another Black country star, who is about to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Thing is, opening for her means going back to Arcadia, Arkansas, the hometown he left a lot of his dark past in. It’s also where August Lane is, JoJo’s daughter, and the real writer of his hit song. August threatens to expose the truth about his song, lest he write a new song with her so she can finally come out of her mother’s shadow, but the two have a history that is a little hard to get over.
This is giving Seven Days in June, but make it country, and I am absolutely sat.
