Publisher Description
★★★★★ “Emmanuelle Snow pulls at your heartstrings in the best ways. She writes complex characters with complex emotions and relatable stories.” (Goodreads)
★★★★★ “Emmanuelle writes such strong woman.” (Goodreads)
We were never supposed to fall in love. And yet, here we were—living under the same roof, sparks flying, hearts tangled, and a six-month U.S. tour looming over us.
Sam Stevens, country music legend and father to two amazing girls, had always been off-limits. I was supposed to be the nanny, the safe one. But our chemistry was impossible to ignore, simmering with longing that grew harder to hide with every passing day. As we tried to balance the responsibilities of family, fame, and our complicated pasts, I couldn’t tell where temptation ended and love began.
Could we risk everything we’d worked for—our trust, our hearts, and the tour—for a chance at something real? Or would the shadows of our pasts tear us apart before we even had a shot?
Rising Star is an emotional, soul-stirring romance about love, second chances, and finding redemption in each other’s arms—the breathtaking conclusion to Sam and Madison’s story, and book two in the Lonesome Heart duet.

All The Feels
Sam and Madison’s story is one that will pull every emotion you have out of you shatter your heart then mend it back together. Sam is doing all he can to keep it together and be the best father to his girls he can, but he realizes he does need extra help and that’s when Madison comes into the picture. Madison becomes an essential part of Sam and his girl’s lives as their nanny, but when the attraction is high they fight it as much as they can before it implodes. This story will have you crying one second while laughing the next and dying to know where it will take you. This author knows how to write emotions that are so real the characters and situations feel so real and you want to be the one to console them and hold them tightly. I can’t wait for more.
Must read.
I loved this couple. This book kept you completely engaged and the suspense and pure love shinning through!
A love story that songs are written about
"Madison Prescott was the music in my life. More real than any note on a sheet of paper could ever be. More than any chords from my guitar."
Sam Stevens thought he had it all and was on top of the world until one night it all crashed down. His wife walked right out the door on him and their little girls without so much as a glance back at them. It has taken him two years to get back to a somewhat normal life. One day his friend Riley shows up and tells him it is time to make music again. Sam is very straight with Riley telling him the girls come first and if he wants him to do a six month tour the girls are to be with him which results in Riley hiring a nanny. The last thing Sam expected was to be rocked to his core when his eyes lock with the nanny for the first time.
Madison Prescott has lived a life mostly on by herself other than her sister and her parents. She has agreed to meet with the country superstar who needs a nanny for his little girls and is taken aback by his reaction to her. After being offered and accepting the job she gradually starts spending time with Sam and his girls. She doesn't miss the way her body reacts to him when he is in close proximity to her nor does she miss him sneaking glimpses at her from time to time because she does it to.
These two....oh boy these two with the push and pull between them. The tension that is so freaking hot I thought my kindle would melt. This has got to be the slowest burn I have ever read in my life but I was there for all of it. I loved the many, many moments these two would have and you would think they were finally going to give in and it didn't happen. I found myself wanting to yell at them but then I realized that by the author having all these "almost" moments with them it build their story so much more, it made it that much better. POSSIBLE SPOILER...............these two fall in love without ever even having an actual date. Their attraction is so intense that just by being around each other 24/7 and trying not to fall in love has them falling in love. It is so beautiful!
Of course, if you are familiar with Emmanuelle Snow's works you KNOW it is never an easy ride for her couples. Sam and Maddie were a little bit more gentle on the readers. I honestly thought I was going to get through one of her books with my emotions in tact and then I was smacked in the face with emotions (that tends to happen with her books). I will admit I thought she was going somewhere else with the story and I am so glad she didn't go the direction I thought.
Legend and Country is a tale of single dad getting a chance at real love and a young woman finally having someone lover her the way a man should love a woman. Maddie fills the void that Sam's ex-wife left within his heart and his daughters! This story that will have you reaching for your tissues and possibly cursing Ms. Snow a couple times will leave you with a happy heart when it is all said and done!
