Country Gold

In the first Wilder Sisters romance from Bell (Starlight Hill), beautiful harmonies and bitter memories strike conflicting chords. Country star Luke Wyatt finishes his grueling tour and heads to his hometown of Whistle Cove, Calif., and the Wilder Sisters B&B. He’s not sure what reception he’s going to receive from Lexi, the oldest of the three sisters. They were darlings of the country music stage until a sordid scandal derailed their career. Luke was the group’s backup musician, and a hit song he and Lexi wrote together helped launch his solo career. Now Luke needs another hit, and, more importantly, he needs Lexi back in his life. Lexi is still stinging from what she views as Luke’s betrayal, and yet the minute she sees him, all her pent-up romantic yearnings come flooding back. Luke’s unwavering loyalty to Lexi and her family gives this sweet romance unexpected integrity that more than makes up for the lack of sexual tension. Readers looking for a tender romance that leans more toward the emotional than the physical will find this very satisfying. (BookLife)
