Book Description
Four female musicians. Four hot heroes. Four sweet and sexy small-town romances. Each of the sweet and sexy small-town romances features a heartwarming love story filled with hope, healing, and found family friendship between the musicians of a Louisiana Cajun band. * * * * * 1 - SECOND FIDDLE FLIRT Music, heart, and Cajun charm. Lauren has only two days to practice for a shot at her dream gig. But when her sister’s best friend, Tyler, brings her shrimp and tasso tacos and that shy smile, she can’t resist the distraction. Tyler has been denying his crush on Lauren for years. Now that he’s alone with her, he can’t deny those feelings any longer. Lauren will have to banish her imposter syndrome and learn to trust her instincts again to get what she truly wants: her dream gig and Tyler. * * * * * 2 - SIX STRING SASS They only agreed to a fling, but Natalie's falling hard for the sound guy who pushes all her buttons. Guitar player Natalie is a full-time librarian rocking a broken heart, a night gig, and a daughter. The last thing this single mom needs is a relationship. Shane has a major aversion to all things complicated. But he's soon craving more than a Mardi Gras hookup with Nat, even if he isn’t ready to roll the dice on a serious relationship. * * * * * 3 - RIM SHOT REBOUND Working on this song together could bring Kelsey and Eric closer than ever or tear them—and the band—apart forever. Late nights and close quarters also make it difficult to hide drummer Kelsey's accidental pregnancy, but their painful history has her holding back the truth. Mr. Do-The-Right-Thing would step up in a heartbeat, but Kelsey refuses to settle for being someone's obligation. Bass player Eric can't erase their past or his mistakes. But thanks to this song, he now has an open door to earn Kelsey's trust and love again. For good this time. * * * * * 4 - SQUEEZE BOX BELLE Robin can handle things just fine as her band’s superhero. She doesn't need her ex-brother-in-law swooping in to save her. So why the heck does she want him to? Accordion player Robin is a master at managing her band, but she can’t control the weather… or her heart. While rain threatens to douse the band’s biggest gig to date, nothing can dampen her growing desire for the man she swore she’d never cross that line with: her ex-husband’s brother. Matt’s been living in his famous brother’s shadow all his life, and he’s used to not getting what he wants—including his brother’s ex. When he volunteers to do promo for her band, Matt can’t hide his feelings any longer.

Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH From the New York Times bestselling author of Loving Frank comes a much-anticipated second novel, which tells the improbable love story of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson and his tempestuous American wife, Fanny. At the age of thirty-five, Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne has left her philandering husband in San Francisco to set sail for Belgium—with her three children and nanny in tow—to study art. It is a chance for this adventurous woman to start over, to make a better life for all of them, and to pursue her own desires. Not long after her arrival, however, tragedy strikes, and Fanny and her children repair to a quiet artists’ colony in France where she can recuperate. Emerging from a deep sorrow, she meets a lively Scot, Robert Louis Stevenson, ten years her junior, who falls instantly in love with the earthy, independent, and opinionated “belle Americaine.” Fanny does not immediately take to the slender young lawyer who longs to devote his life to writing—and who would eventually pen such classics as Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In time, though, she succumbs to Stevenson’s charms, and the two begin a fierce love affair—marked by intense joy and harrowing darkness—that spans the decades and the globe. The shared life of these two strong-willed individuals unfolds into an adventure as impassioned and unpredictable as any of Stevenson’s own unforgettable tales. Praise for Under the Wide and Starry Sky “A richly imagined [novel] of love, laughter, pain and sacrifice . . . Under the Wide and Starry Sky is a dual portrait, with Louis and Fanny sharing the limelight in the best spirit of teamwork—a romantic partnership.”—USA Today “Powerful . . . flawless . . . a perfect example of what a man and a woman will do for love, and what they can accomplish when it’s meant to be.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Horan’s prose is gorgeous enough to keep a reader transfixed, even if the story itself weren’t so compelling. I kept re-reading passages just to savor the exquisite wordplay. . . . Few writers are as masterful as she is at blending carefully researched history with the novelist’s art.”—The Dallas Morning News “A classic artistic bildungsroman and a retort to the genre, a novel that shows how love and marriage can simultaneously offer inspiration and encumbrance.”—The New York Times Book Review

In Hey Presto! Swift and the Quacks, Hugh Ormsby-Lennon reveals how medicine shows, both ancient and modern, galvanized Jonathan Swift's imagination and inspired his wittiest satiric voices. Swift dubbed these multifaceted traveling entertainments his Stage-itinerant or 'Mountebank's Stage.' In the course of arguing that the stage-itinerant formed an irresistible model for A Tale of a Tub, Ormsby-Lennon also surmises that the mountebank's stage will disclose that missing link, long sought, which connects the dual objects of Swift's ire: gross Corruptions in both Religion and Learning.
