Lana Darling left her sisters' country music group to strike out on her own. Now a successful writer of country songs for other artists, Lana still struggles with feelings of inadequacy. A major trauma in her past makes it impossible for her to trust anyone. When a chance arises to sell her most personal song to country superstar Taft Hill, she jumps at the chance, even though it means a major rewrite with him. Things get pretty heated, and their one-night stand is…awkward! After the worst sex either of them has ever had, they part ways. Still, there's just something about Lana that Taft can't let go of, and he follows her when she goes home and back to her siblings.
VERDICT This is Herron's final title in her "Songbirds" trilogy (after The Darling Songbirds; The Songbird's Call). After some ungainly phrasing in the beginning, the story settles ultimately into a very moving look at the harm that assault causes to individuals and their families. For fans of Herron (The Ones Who Matter Most), romance, and women's fiction.
