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
Musical fireworks!
I enjoyed reading this book. It worked as a stand alone, though I found myself wishing I had the back stories from the first two books in my head, just for more context. Mindy and Luke both had serious music industry related baggage, and reading about how they navigated that as well as the undeniable attraction to each other made for a wonderful story. I will definitely be looking to read the first books of the series as well as watching for future books. Well done!
Full disclosure: I was given an ARC of this book; review requested but not required.
Another Fantastic Fox Story
Mary Frame's Another Fox Bites the Dust is the third book in the Fox siblings series. This story follows Mindy Fox as she tries to claw her way back into the music industry she worked so hard in but was ultimately forced out of due to a relationship with a married artist. The first musician she signs to her label is Luke Fletcher, the very talented and very tempting guitarist who she has vowed to be nothing but professional with.
This book was as great as the first two when it came to dealing with grief and how we can blame others and ourselves while dealing with such tragic loss. The writing was as emotionally evocative and clever as the rest of Frame's novels and I enjoyed it very much. Luke was such a wonderfully supportive character and I absolutely loved him. I did have a hard time getting into the story in the beginning because of the infidelity (I agree that Mindy wasn't at fault, but due to my own past experiences, it was still hard to root for her in the beginning).
Once again the side characters, particularly the Fox siblings and the other artists working with Luke were exceptional. I want to visit Camp Aria and hang out with all of them. I am intrigued to read Taylor's story as the dynamic between her and Mindy has been something I have wanted to learn about since book one.
Another winner from Mary Frame. Her novels are always moving and extremely entertaining. I highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially readers of romance and fiction.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
In a bad spot
Mindy and Luke are so perfect! Aaahhhh! I loved this book so much. Mindy is in a bad spot, she’s spent her adult life making her way in the music world. Working for her record label signing the big stars…Then Blake comes along and while her career is ruined, his only seems to soar. It’s so unfair! Luke is sweet, sexy and talented but has a crippling phobia. Mindy is at her lowest when she runs into Luke lol. But their meeting was meant to be. Watch as these two navigate the shark infested waters that is the music biz and their family dynamics and see if they can find their way to a happily ever after. This book has extremely hot chemistry so be warned, you’re gonna love it! Be sure to also read this entire series in order. It gives you a fuller experience, but each book is amazing stand alone as well. I was given an ARC
