Jace by Sasha Summers

5.0

My Rating: 4.5 Stars

From the oilfield to the country stage. Jace Black got signed on with the famous King family and is about to do a duet with Krystal King. He has very high ambitions, and falling for Krystal is the furthest thing from his plan.

Krystal and her family are icons in the world of country music. Although a very good singer, her gift is writing songs. When circumstances give her the opportunity to sing it with sexy newcomer Jace, Krystal is nervous. That nervousness is quickly traded by bone deep attraction.

As Jace and Krystal try to get to know one another - while the tabloids are having their day - they both have painful pasts that might keep them from finding a long future together. Jace is an excellent book. I loved the occasional lyrics that were part of the story, and how they told much about the pain Krystal was actually in. Seems rather evident that these very lyrics are telling Jace's story as well.

Jace is the first book in the Kings of Country series. It is done very well, and the Jace and Krystal's story was very emotional. Honestly, I just thought I was going to be reading another romance and was not prepared for the impact this book had. I must say that I was very surprised, especially considering the book touched on some very serious and relevant issues Lastly, I loved all of the characters in the book, especially Emmy Lou and Travis, Krystal's twin sister and their brother. I look forward to future books in this series and can't wait to see whose story is next.

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
