Her cowboy might just be another broken-heart ballad waiting to happen…

Country superstar Sara Silver has it all: fame, fortune, and a mantel full of Grammys. She also has a string of chart-topping heartbreak songs to go with them—all based on her miserable love life. Now her manager says Sara doesn’t sing with the heart she used to. If she doesn’t come up with another hit album soon, then her label will move on to the next big thing.

Sara heads to a ranch in Wyoming to get back to her country roots and rediscover herself. To keep the press away, she hides her identity and is determined to let nothing distract her. Then she meets Cal: tall, brooding, and all cowboy. Sara falls for Cal and the quiet ranch life, but with each song she writes her time there draws to a close.

Sara will have to choose between the country stars of Nashville or the glittering stars of a Wyoming sky…unless she can find a way to have both.  
My Review: 5 Stars

I have always loved music and I love how it touches my soul. One thing I wish I could do is write songs. That would be so awesome to be able to sit down and come up with something that inspiring, but alas, that is not one of my talents. I want to hear Sara's new songs!

Sara is a character that really resonated with me and came alive. It's no secret that I love a darling celebrity story and it's my favorite when that person is "normal," especially when they are able to go back to their roots and humble themselves and that's exactly what happened with Sara. 

Who knew a ranch in Wyoming could be so refreshing and could be just the think to stimulate those creative juices again? I'm about ready to sign up to be a towner at a ranch like this one. The setting was tangible and I love the slow, simmering burn of a new relationship. In fact, I loved many of the relationships in this book, but of course, the romantic one always takes the cake for me.

Sara and Cal both have massive heartaches and big choices to make. These touches of sadness were important parts of the story, but didn't drag it down to the depths of depression. The overall feeling of this book is total satisfaction. I would love to see books about Sara's brothers.

Content: mild romance; a few moments of mild peril
