ღ Synopsis ღ
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul.
(Remember her... she's important.)
She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street; the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can’t stop thinking about the two people who grew up here.
You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstance turned us into nothing more than memories.
That’s why I applied for a job at his auto shop—unprepared to discover that my new boss, Cal Bishop, is now gruff, built, and covered in tattoos.
I'm the sun to his overcast sky. The smile to his surly solitude.
A reminder of everything he longs to forget.
But my heart has a secret, and we’re running out of time to fix our torn pages.
Maybe... the same girl who used to be the glue still holds the key to putting our pieces back together.
(See? I told you she was important.)
Toodles,
Lucy

🅰🅽 🅾🅿🆃🅸🅼🅸🆂🆃'🆂 🅶🆄🅸🅳🅴 🆃🅾 🅷🅴🅰🆁🆃🅱🆁🅴🅰🅺
Is the first full length romance book in the (Heartsong) duet by Jennifer Hartmann.
As soon as I saw this doing the rounds, from the author, to the cover, to the blurb, I couldn't wait for release day!!
This was a no frills kind of romance book, (no unnecessary drama) one you could see unfolding in life, even the twist thrown into the midst was realistic. I prepared myself for the cliffy the author threw me over and had a wee bit of a inkling it would unfold how it did, but it still had me screaming for the next book, which I’m so excited about.
Book by book I’ve read by this author just gets better and better, her ability to pull me in as effortlessly as she does is magical, her characters always leave their stamp on my heart. This couple was no different, the grump and the sunshine was the perfect balance.

He was so closed off, and she just embraced life, completely opposite but the same when it came to their emotions. And all throughout they both captured my heart and my attention. She had me blushing with her ceaseless rambling and he had me swooning for no particular reason. They were both flawed but perfect..
I enjoyed the past glimpses into her best friends diary, the heartbreak they both carried around with them on a daily basis, the losses they’ve both endured.
If you’ve not read this author before take your pick because her books are amazing.
