Title: Hold Me

Series: Music for the Heart - Book 1

Author: Faith Starr

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September 30, 2018

Joey has a knack for writing songs that make women swoon. It’s no wonder his band, Steam, is burning up the alternative charts.

Teva is into her studies and career. She has no time for romance or the drama that comes along with it. Until she lays eyes on Joey at a meet and greet contest her friend won.

Sparks fly between Joey and Teva. 

One night of fun with a rock star wouldn't hurt anybody. Would it? 

It might if the sparks don't fizzle out like Joey and Teva anticipate. 

How can two people who live completely different lives make a relationship work? Is their passion enough to withstand the pressures of fame, distance, family-struggles, and possible career changes?

Hold Me is Book One in the Music For The Heart Series. All books in the series can be read as standalones but are best read in sequence. All of Faith Starr's books have Happily Ever After endings.

*Note to Reader: This book contains sensitive material and adult themes. It is recommended for those over 18

JOEY'S POV “The show was incredible. Thank you again for all you’ve done for us tonight. Highly unnecessary but greatly appreciated.”“The night’s not over yet.” The words sort of just slipped out of my mouth. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. God, her skin was like porcelain. The touch of makeup she wore only highlighted the sapphire twinkle in her eyes, and the soft shade of pink lipstick filled out her full lips. Fuck, she was ten times prettier up close. A natural beauty, to say the least.

TEVA'S POV Joey studied me. “I see the wheels turning in your head.” “You don’t know me well enough to see the wheels turning.” I kept my voice calm, trying not to act defensive. “And you don’t know me well enough to make judgments about my character based on generalizations you have preset in your mind.” He caught me off guard with his brilliant insight. “You’re right. You’ve impressed me yet again.” “Again? You mean I’ve been working my ass off to impress you, only to find out I didn’t need to try?” “Not in the way you think.” I smiled.

MEET FAITH STARR

When I’m not managing my husband’s medical practice or taking care of things for one of my three kids, I love writing romance fiction.

There is absolutely nothing like getting into the minds of my characters, bringing them to life, and giving them a life of their own with all the emotions that go along with it. I am swept away, head over heels in love, with each and every alpha male I create and the confident women who steal their hearts.

Being a romantic at heart, with a bit of a dirty mind, I relish creating stories that touch upon readers’ heartstrings, provoke thought, and hopefully provide a bit of insight into some heavy topics.

Being married for over twenty-two years ─ holy cow, how time flies ─ I honestly believe in “Once Upon a Time” and “Happily Ever After” endings because I found mine. Aww, I know, so mushy. But that’s me, a softie with a big heart. A bit of a nut too.

Author Bio

An English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.

She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Bob; and their mastiff, Henry.

Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job.

Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

This is a prequel to the Lines in the Sand series and the books can be read out of order, hence why this book is out after the other books. Whether you pick it up from the prequel or in any order I can guarantee you that you will fall in love with these characters and Ocean City. This is Lysander’s story and while we saw him in the other books, he sure did a good job of hiding his heart. He is loving, speaks his mind freely and guards his heart. Reed who is the complete opposite of Lysander came to Ocean City for a change. The best decision he made was going into Midsummer Nights (the bar owned by Lysander).

You will see the spark between these two, but with their past they aren’t sure if they want to go beyond their friendship that they built up plus Jodie may or may not be an issue and you will see why I state this (kinda funny). Jodie is a waitress and friend to Lysander. One of the things I love about this novella is that we get to see a side of Lysander we didn’t see in the series and we get a little background on Jodie before her book and other characters came along. Love her use of the gaydar! Hilarious! Will Lysander and Reed go with their heart or let fear stand in the way? Read the book and fall in love with these Wild loving men! I always get excited to learn that we are getting more Lines in the Sand books and hope to see more down the road even if a cameo appearance in future series.
