Beginning:
Chance Colburn looked about as comfortable as a lumberjack trapped at a royal tea party.Friday 56:
"Well?" He watched her with raised brows. "You go up first."This week I am reading Shooting Star by Terri Osburn. This is a romance from NetGalley. Here is the description from Amazon:
"Up where?"
"There." He pointed at the sky. "Climb through the opening so we can lie on the roof."
She would do no such thing. "Are you crazy? I'm not getting on top of this car."
A country star looking for a comeback has one last shot at fame—and he might just have one last shot at love.
Naomi Mallard is a fixer by nature. And as PR manager for Nashville’s Shooting Stars record label, she’s facing her biggest fix: redeeming country music bad boy Chance Colburn. But in Naomi’s eyes, a police record and a stint in rehab are the least of Chance’s sins. He has spent his life running from demons and making tabloid headlines that have sent his career into a tailspin. Now he’s struggling to find his muse and maintain his newfound sobriety, all while counting on the woman he once betrayed to repair his tattered reputation.
Naomi is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but that’s not easy when an unexpected injury forces the former couple into disturbingly close proximity. Will mending their once-broken relationship be Naomi’s best save yet? Or will Chance’s past wreck any hope for a future together?
That beginning has me laughing out loud! Sounds like it is a fun and interesting story. I hope that you love it. :)
