This story follows Hannah a songwriter and Rory a country music star who is 14 years her senior and happens to be connected to a huge part of Hannah's past 

Rory has given Hannah the opportunity to pack up her life in Tennessee and songwrite with him on the beautiful Island of St Croix. 🌴 

Hannah starts a scary and beautiful journey meeting a bunch of incredible people along the way, the banter and chemistry between them is beautiful, truly a family away from home who have her back through the rollercoaster that is her life after arriving on the Island. 

This book was incredible, I am usually a dark romance or Romantacy reader, so I have never read a Songwriter X Singer romance before and I am pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it.

The story was beautiful, I truly felt the ebs and flows of the relationships between the characters, good or bad. 

There were points where I had to take a breath while some of the really emotional things were happening, it felt like I was there with them experiencing these emotions.

I really enjoyed K.L Shannon's writing, there was a great level of 'action' VS story building. The 'Spice' was great and the build up and sexual tension was phenomenal 🔥. 
( I loved the play on words with Dicktionary, it definitely made me snort laugh as if I was raised by pigs 🐖)

I do wish that the POV's were split chapter to chapter but that's the only thing I would change as I can find it difficult to differentiate between perspectives.
