Dalton Calhoun hadn’t always planned on a life up on the big stage, beneath the bright lights, but that was where he found himself. A second chance of sorts. An opportunity that had come along after his real dreams vanished when he was eighteen years old. Although country music was more than he could’ve expected, he’d never dismissed the notion that there was still something missing.
When Dalton followed his buddy Cooper Krenshaw to Devil’s Bend, Texas, it didn’t take long before Dalton realized just what that was. But just because he has topped the country music charts, and made his fair share of women swoon, doesn’t mean that everything comes easy to him. And when he sets his sights on the black-haired, gray-eyed waitress at The Rusty Nail, Dalton realizes he might just have to work for what he wants.
Katie Clarren’s life has been a series of unfortunate events, starting from the time her mother left on her eighteenth birthday. Not exactly how she had planned to spend one of the major turning points in her young life. Nor had she planned to spend the next five years dealing with the fallout. Somewhere along the way, Katie adapted, doing exactly what she needed to do in order to survive. But Katie has secrets that even her closest friends don’t know. Secrets she has worked hard to protect.
Although she longs for handsome, charming, country music sensation, Dalton Calhoun, she knows that anything that starts between them can’t last. Too bad her
heart doesn’t seem to be on the same page. Katie gives in to her love for Dalton, needing that human connection that has been missing for so long. But when it comes time to make the hard decisions, Katie forces herself to walk away from him. To protect her secrets, and him. The last thing she wants to do is hurt Dalton, no matter how much pain she has to endure in the process. She loves him.
Can the two of them overcome the secrets and lies? Can they look to the future and stop living in the past? Or will they keep dwelling on the dreams that vanished, not seeing what is right in front of them? Each other.
REVIEW
Nicole Edwards is one of the writers I "one-click" as soon as her books come out and she doesn't disappoint with the second book of the Devil's Bend series. Dalton fell into the music scene after some hard times. He enjoys what he does and all the perks that come along with it, but something is missing in his life. When he comes to Devil's Bend to see his friend Cooper he finds that he wants what Cooper has found, a woman to share his life. He is drawn to Katie, a waitress at The Rusty Nail, not only by her looks but by her feisty attitude. He's never had to try as hard to win someone over but he is determined she will be his.
Katie has a secret, well a few really, that she keeps locked away from the friends she's made at the Rusty Nail. She enjoys her work there but unfortunately she can't chance opening up to anyone, especially the hot Country Music star that makes her knees weak. When she finally gives in and lets Dalton take her out she knows that it can't last. She won't bring him down her road, the cost to both of them could be too great.
When Dalton leaves for a tour, Katie pulls away from him and when he finds out one of her secrets, he doesn't try to stop her. When he finally comes back to Devil's Bend her other secrets are revealed and Dalton curses himself for not fighting harder to get to know this green eyed vixen. He needs to make it right and show her that her past doesn't matter, his life is incomplete without her.
As always in Nicole's books, the sex is hot and the men are hotter. If you haven't given the Devil's Bend series a chance yet, what are you waiting for? Hot Country Music singers and sassy Texas women. Good music and panty wetting sex. Underlying stories that melt your heart. Take a walk through this small country town, you won't be disappointed.
