Publisher Description
She’s sworn off dating musicians. She wasn’t expecting him to rock her world.
Mindy Fox is sick of drama. After being dumped by her rockstar boyfriend and losing her record label job in one scandalous swoop, the betrayed A&R talent seeker decides to strike out on her own. And when she hears an audio clip from a struggling songwriter, the former music mogul believes she’s found her first artist in the handsome crooner.
Luke Fletcher hides his paralyzing anxiety behind a charming exterior. But guilt is a constant companion when he conceals his crippling stage fright from the gorgeous entrepreneur who’s giving him a shot at making it big. And if that wasn’t distraction enough, the easy-going guitar player quickly realizes he’s got chart-topping chemistry with the dark-eyed beauty.
Pulled out of her workaholic world by the onslaught of intense family strife, Mindy struggles to stop a feud with her sister from poisoning the fledgling project. And while Luke comes clean about his hang-ups, he fears his attraction to the off-limits woman has become a forbidden refrain.
Can they recompose their future into a delightful duet?
This is book three in the Fox Family Series and can be read as a stand alone novel. The Fox Family Series follows all of the Fox siblings as they navigate the aftermath of loss, and find love and happily ever after.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Frame sparkles in her third Fox Family romance (after The Fox and the Rebound). Rebel Records music talent scout Mindy Fox has it all. But when her country superstar boyfriend Blake Bonham decides to go back to his estranged wife, the industry drops Mindy like a hot potato. Blacklisted from the biz, Mindy decides to start her own label and signs up-and-coming singer-songwriter Luke Fletcher, who gave up his career as a physician to make a go of his music. To save money, they head to the campground run by Mindy's family to record. There, Mindy is forced to deal with a festering wound involving her younger sister, Taylor. Despite Luke's anxiety about his career change and Mindy's familial friction, the pair are immediately attracted to each other—but Frame makes readers wait for the romantic pay off, skillfully ratcheting up the sexual tension until it boils over. Frame sensitively handles a number of issues in the characters' backstories, including suicide and alcohol abuse, and leavens the darker moments with sweetness and laughter. This solid contemporary will have wide appeal. (Self-published)
Customer Reviews
Trying not to mix business and personal…
I enjoyed this story. Mindy, having lost her job and clout in the music industry due to a scandalous and failed romantic relationship with a musician client, decides to take a chance on establishing her own record label with a new musician, Luke. What she doesn’t know is that Luke has crippling stage fright. Kind of a problem when your contract stipulates live performances and recording requires playing in front of people too. They also have to contend with their growing attraction and affection towards each other, which is a big problem considering Mindy’s history. Luke was a great MMC and just such a good guy. His care for people around him was lovely. He faced his own struggles with his stage fright and grief, but he was always so supportive. I struggled a bit to connect with Mindy initially, I think mainly over her relationship with a married man. It helped a little as it became more clear that he had not been honest with her about the status of his marriage. And her determination and tenacity as she worked to rebuilt her position in the industry and establish Luke’s career was admirable. Not to mention her support and patience when she finally learned of his stage fright.
Mindy’s family is heavily involved for most of the story, and it was great to see the family work through some difficult things. It was also fun to see their more lighthearted interactions. Luke’s family also makes an appearance. This is the third book in the series about all the Fox siblings so there is background and carryover from the previous books, but there is enough explanation that this story can be read alone if one wishes to. Of course the best reader experience will be to read the series in order. This is an open door story with frequent strong harsh language.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Great addition to the Fox Series
I really enjoyed Luke and Mindy’s love story. Both have tragic losses in their lives that have affected their relationships with family and live interests. Mindy is coping with the break up of a musician client and losing her job because of it and swears off dating any musicians again. She needs Luke to kick start her new company and their shared experience of loss brings them closer together and ultimately they cannot deny their feelings for each other. The story is easy to read and hard to put down. Looking forward to reading more in this series. I was proved an ARC in exchange for leaving an honest review.
Excellent read
I loved the story and the ending!
